So, initial thoughts so far on the Clockwork uConsole:
- The trackball is pretty bad, would classify it as barely functional.
- Wifi does not work which severely limits things...maybe an antenna problem? Verified it was securely installed on the CM4 module.
- Install isn't bad, very solid device.
- The thermal pad for the RPi CM4 is waaaay too thick.

WTF are the adafruit QFN breakouts made of, the cheapest FR-4 known to humankind? I don't think I have ever had so much trouble getting a part to center properly. Maybe it's the giant honking hole in the center pad or something.

Two screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?

Worked on a client project in the basement where it’s currently 50-ish degrees F and that’s enough for now. Short break with the heating pad next then I’ll try some office work for a bit. This is not a fun Saturday so far.

RIVM update rioolwaarden en percentage positief Sars-Cov-2.
De opleving die we vorige week zagen blijkt van korte duur te zijn geweest en tevens ook minder groot dan het toen leek.
Intussen is er weer een duidelijke daling zichtbaar, van 372 naar 312. Dus zitten we weer op het pad van een neergaande achttiende golf.
Er zitten 7 nieuwe dagen in de data: 2 t/m 8 januari, met 85%-15% van de meetstations.

Several months ago, I thought I'd be clever and get ahead of the curve by ordering a little buck converter from China so I could drive my LED Christmas lights from a constant 31VDC source and get rid of the stupid factory supply that requires 7 button presses each time it's powered up to simply light the string steadily rather than flashing in the most irritating, seizure-inducing way humanly imaginable.
Had I done more research in advance, I would have learned that:

I got a new (used) laptop a few months ago. As is now standard, they've removed the physical mouse buttons and made the touchpad wider. "No problem," I thought, "I've been practicing with tap-to-click!"
After a little while the phantom clicks started driving me nuts. Part of it is due to the wideness, part of it due to sensitivity (moving my finger onto the pad sometimes triggers a click). So tap-to-click is now disabled.. [1/2]

As NASA moves closer to launch of the #Artemis II test flight, the agency soon will roll its #SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft to the launch pad for the first time at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin final integration, testing, and launch rehearsals: #VehicleAssemblyBuilding to Launch Pad 39B.

Planted a handful of tulips and a bunch of daffodils on a gorgeous fall day. Took a minute afterwards to stretch my back by lying down on the driveway, the kneeling pad for a pillow, and to admire the bright blue sky.
Be still for a few minutes. It’s surprisingly rewarding.

I'm not saying I've got a hot ass but I've been sitting on a heating pad for two hours...

Day 3, practicing a bunch of stuff including musculoskeletal injuries.
I had a "broken arm" for this one.

I'm in a good mood today! Woke up at 4:30am with a bit of leg pain but took Tylenol and used a heating pad right away. I was able to lie in bed for 3 hours and the pain was only mild. Finally got out of bed and was dealing with minimal pain.
It's been well over a week since I've had this little pain when getting out of bed in the morning. I was able to do my morning stuff just fine. I even made pizza dough.
The next test will be trying to get some desk work done. (And…
