Stock levels don't decrease after placing an order? Is this intentional? Just concerned that I've ordered but there's no stock left.

Yeah that'll work fine. Another option is to buy an 8 pin resistor network which are way easier to obtain and just cut two of the pins off. I did that on my 464 Plus.

Do it. Bigger FPGA so I've heard? That'll give it a lot more flexibility in the future, although it already does support a lot of different cores. The ultimate retro computer?

hm, one slightly annoying things with Openvibe so far is that its only showing me replies from people I follow. Had some replies to a previous message on Threads but I can only see the replies within Threads itself, not Openvibe.

Might be an API restriction?

Giving Openvibe a test. I`m hoping this is the answer to my problem of everyone being split over several social networks. Seems decent so far.

YouTube has this new feature that lets me see how much someone commented on my channel and something I’ve suspected turned out to be true - numerous comments that say “I used to be a big commentator but you’ve disappointed me for X silly reason so unsubscribe” have never commented before.

I suppose I could make my second twee.. erm, what are we calling these on bluesky? Bleets? Bloops?

<searches>

Oh, "Skeets" apparently.

That'll take some getting used to.
