"Authentic" is dead. And so is "is dead."

It's lazy writing. It's boring and undifferentiated. Say something meaningful, specific, evocative, so your website wins, and you can be proud of it.

The ESP32-S2 reset pin

from Quentin Santos [alt+shift+b] in programming

a month ago
RST defaults to high This is an addendum to the article about Espressif’s automatic reset. In that article, we observed the effect of the RST pin on the ESP32-S2-Saola-1RI board: I skipped over this topic quickly, so I am now taking the time to explain how the RST pin manages to...

The Ware for May 2023 is shown below. This is yet another fine ware contributed by jackw01. I suspect this one may be guessed quite quickly, but I’ll leave one hint anyways: there is more than one board in this assembly.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
