Apparently people don't just like emulated calculators in the browser - they love it, and want more.

So come enjoy the CALCULATOR DRAWER, a dozen plus emulated calculators and (where I could find them) the manuals. Get calculating!

Remember these? Original Lytro! Lightfield cameras of the future! I grabbed a few off eBay some time ago and took a peek at the firmware. Found secret unlock that enables full remote control of all camera features. Full writeup here: github.com/ea/lytro_unlock

I don't play RPGs enough to get entirely personally wrapped up in this, but I know a whole lot of people who do, and it's been stunning to see just how quickly Wizards of the Coast blew off their own feet here. No one trusts them to do the right thing, nor should they. This is a classic "we're sorry we got caught" situation, and everyone one in that space knows it.

Going dark: Is encryption a threat to our security? The Swedish EU Council says yes.

But we say: Stop the #CryptoWars. Destroying everybody's #privacy will not increase #security.

When I listened to our conversation, I figured I’d be weirded out by my voice BUT the whole thing is so wonderful - three nerds talking about teaching and learning, and I didn’t feel cringey about it. You two made me feel so comfortable talking about my blasphemous stuff.💕 #oer #ungrading

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the millions of victims of the Nazi regime during WWII.

The loss of life in the Holocaust is unfathomable and a haunting reminder of the devastation caused by antisemitism and intolerance.

In the face of rising antisemitism, revisionism and conspiracy theories, we must remain vigilant to counter disinformation and educate future generations about these atrocities.

#WeRemember and pledge to fight hatred and discrimination in all its forms in the EU.
