Can anyone recognize this IC? Looking for its p/n and a datasheet ideally. Handles all the analog audio paths in a portable cassette player.

EDIT: A knock-off of Mitsumi LAG668F.

In the U.S, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that police can access your Google searches without a warrant.

The court's reasoning: users have no expectation of privacy because "it is common knowledge that websites, internet-based applications, and internet service providers collect, and then sell, user data."

That's what "free" really means. The business model depends on turning your search history into a detailed profile that can be sold, shared, and accessed by third parties.

Couldn't they really not wait until 5th Jan for the next shitstorm ffs?

This has been very fun to develop. I've added tons of cities and I'm looking to add more cities. I'm taking requests :)

LLMs will lead you to lose skills that you are not going to get back because your brain will change and have no patience anymore to do the hardwork that needs to be done. That will be one of the fundamental problems of this tech.

A great piece on the value and importance of blogs, and a call to begin blogging (or in my case, resolving to post regularly again).

No matter how silly or inconsequential a topic may seem, if it’s interesting enough that you spend days doing it, it’s probably worth blogging about.

Share your work. Out of billions of people, there’s *always* gonna be someone who appreciates what you’ve done.

Nonsense in the FT: "Miguel De Bruycker, director of the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB), told the Financial Times that it was “currently impossible” to store data fully in Europe because US companies dominate digital infrastructure". Nonsense, yet policymakers believe this - I talk about our *Self-inflicted* cloud crisis in this piece: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/our-self-inflicted-cloud-crisis/

I've been looking for something like this for a long time! Unfortunately I don't yet see how ink could be supplied, and as @pojntfx points out, the chosen CC license would make establishing a sustainable ecosystem difficult...

the AI slop in security reports have developed slightly over time. Less mind-numbingly stupid reports now, but instead almost *everyone* writes their reports with AI so they still get overly long and complicated to plow through. And every follow-up question is another minor essay discussing pros and cons with bullet points and references to multiple specifications.

Exhausting nonetheless.
