[$] A trademark dispute over MeshCore
MeshCore is a relatively new project, started in January 2025, that aims
to build a scalable mesh network using low-power long-distance radios. While
many other projects of the same general nature have been tried before, MeshCore
grew quickly because of its more efficient message routing and enthusiastic
community. In early 2026, an early proponent of the project made a sudden shift
that left the rest of the community stunned and embroile … ⌘ Read more

I just wanted to look up 9V block battery prices online and these automatically generated descriptions are getting dumber by the minute:
Datum der Erzeugung: Verfallsdatum minus 7 Jahre
(Date of manufacturing: expiration date minus 7 years)
Or look at this one:
Die leistungsstarke 9 V-Block E Batterie, auch 6LR61 genannt, eignet sich besonders gut für Taschenlampen, Radio oder Kinderspielzeug, die einen gleichbleibenden Strombedarf haben. Ihre max. Spannung beträgt 1,5 V.
(The high performance 9 V block E battery, also known as 6LR61, is particularly suitable for torches, radio or child’s toys, which have a steady power demand. Its max. voltage is 1.5 V.)
The battery is best suited for… devices where it fits. No shit, Sherlock! Has anyboy ever come across 9V block torches? O_o I haven’t.

Turtle Beach WaveFront ISA Sound Cards Seeing Suspend/Resume Support On Linux In 2026
It’s been an interesting 2026 in Linux development with beginning to phase out i486 CPU support, dropping ISDN and amateur “ham” radio support, and other code cleaning in the name of a diminishing user base – or perhaps even no users left – for those running such vintage hardware with a modern, up-to-date kernel. Yet ISA sound card drivers have seen an uptick in activity… ⌘ Read more

O “debate da rádio” tem oito dos candidatos à presidência (adivinhem quem) e duas horas.
Legenda: AV = “André Ventura”, AF = “António Filipe”, CM = “Catarina Martins”, CF = “Cotrim Figueiredo”, AS = “António Seguro”, MM = “Marques Mendes”, GM = “Gouveia e Melo”, JP = “Jorge Pinto”
Pelos vistos o debate está dividido em blocos: o primeiro bloco é sobre poderes presidenciais (se calhar o único que devia haver?):
- se OE chumba, dissolução de parlamento ou?: alguns acham que “depende do contexto”, mas no detalhe e em contextos específicos agiriam de maneira diferente (AV dissolveria no caso da geringonça, AF não dissolveria em caso de governos minoritários, CF acha que é nas maiorias que é preciso insistir…), outros (ou só CM?, GM é troca-tintas, diz que cada caso é um caso mas depois parece que todos os casos não levam à dissolução…) que dissolver o parlamento por causa de um chumbo de um OE é o instrumento errado, se o parlamento acha que não há condições então podem recorrer à Moção de Censura.
1/n
Parece que o debate na rádio com “todos os candidatos” afinal são só os “todos os candidatos apoiados por partidos com representação parlamentar” - a RTP talvez consiga explicar qual é a representação parlamentar do PPM, que é o único partido que apoia o Goveio e Melo, que eu saiba, e para compensar vão fazer outro “para os restantes” (Humberto Correia, André Pestana e Manuel João Vieira, visto que o Gouveia e Melo foi promovido mesmo na distinção que a RTP inventou e não existe formalmente). Já na TV vai haver um com todos mesmo todos - parece que é suposto dizermos “vale mais pouco que nada”.
