Notes

I also might assemble a few and offer them pre-assembled and tested if there was anyone that wanted one but doesn't want to solder

I ran out of components before PCBs, so now that I've restocked, I have 7 kits left

This is the 39th OpenBSD release I've been a part of and this August will mark 20 years being a developer with the project. Where does the time go...

I love that the scrollbar handle/thumb was called the "elevator" on Lisa OS. Now I want SimTower elevators in all my scroll bars.

Thanks, past me

First batch of WiFiStations headed to the post office

Thanks to everyone that bought one so far, it's fun making something tangible for a change

I made a WiFi module for the Cidco MailStation Z80 computer

Also, I don't get why Microsoft limits AMD models to the Ryzen 5 with only one color and small SSD, but if you just go through their small business store, you can opt for Ryzen 7 and 1Tb SSD

It seems weird to me that it has an AMD CPU/GPU but the WiFi is still Intel

With SMT enabled, you get 16 cpu devices which seems kinda crazy on a laptop:

cpu15: AMD Ryzen 7 Microsoft Surface (R) Edition, 1996.25 MHz, 17-60-01

Surface Laptop 4 Ryzen 7 (16Gb/1Tb) review after 15 minutes:
- Feels very MacBook Pro 2015; larger/heavier than it should be, big bezel, but good keyboard and quiet touchpad
- OpenBSD compatibility is nil; no keyboard, no battery status, no S3, amdgpu bombs, but iwx wifi works

I needed to monitor how far `gzip -d dump.sql.gz` was, long after I started it (without pv):

$ ruby -e 'loop do n = `fstat -o dump.sql.gz`.split("\n").last.split(" ")[8].split(":").map(&:to_i); printf("%0.2f%%\n", (n[1] / n[0].to_f) * 100.0); sleep 1; end'
