OK, we know why it was treated as e-waste...<br/><br/>Opened the case: Packed with thick dense lint and dust, especially in the CPU cooler fins. I can&#39;t imagine where it lived to ingest this much dust in only a couple of years, it looked like a clothes dryer filter in there.<br/><br/>Carefully vacuumed it out, and it immediately worked.

Although the function-colouring side effect of declared exceptions (i.e. Java) brings its own problems.<br/><br/>On that, I reckon the most interesting idea was mentioned briefly at the end: a post-build analysis tool that tells you where your firmware might terminate due to uncaught exceptions. A tool like that could make exceptions much more ergonomic.<br/><br/>(Kind of similar to needing to analyse where Rust code might panic. I know there&#39;s some tooling for that, too.)<br/><br/>#embedded #cpp 2024-08-15T08:05:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsydayf5s0eak7w9fx5h72zh6cl9xpp6wauqh23rfj29m2xv5ewujczyrx4hsc5ng4xtcyem5e422q60nxe2p0u7m59qu564sd208nyn0jy7a83cns Got inspired/sniped by this 404 media article about AI scraper user agents to finally exclude them from my personal site: <a href="https://www.404media.co/websites-are-blocking-the-wrong-ai-scrapers-because-ai-companies-keep-making-new-ones/">https://www.404media.co/websites-are-blocking-the-wrong-ai-scrapers-because-ai-companies-keep-making-new-ones/</a><br/><br/>Popped up the quick script I used here, in case it saves anyone some time: <a href="https://gist.github.com/projectgus/5a495c94f70ac3b3783e89c74a1fc07a">https://gist.github.com/projectgus/5a495c94f70ac3b3783e89c74a1fc07a</a> 2024-08-01T01:05:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqst43cfaf90xrwswcl8wks2qw3ztft7hh0vaz6x94dhnwkqznjpyzgzyrx4hsc5ng4xtcyem5e422q60nxe2p0u7m59qu564sd208nyn0jy78frt8v Taobao store that sells tissue box covers modelled like shipping containers.<br/><br/>Most have major shipping brands on them, but one has the docker logo. 😄 <br/><br/>Plus, inexplicably, one has the VSCode logo!<br/><br/>(Those two seem to be the most popular according to the reviews.)<br/><br/>So odd.<br/><br/><a href="https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=752110369496">https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=752110369496</a><br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/112/877/945/856/688/794/original/dc4b3717c5a27516.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/112/877/946/337/743/567/original/ee7c90443f2489d4.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/112/877/946/659/086/201/original/67fa0e4522d3dc59.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/112/877/947/048/885/268/original/468cc2836d650367.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-07-30T23:13:43Z
