i use a Kobo Clara HD. It runs linux out of the box, the system memory is on a removable SD card inside the case, and the user account is defined in an SQLite database on disk. If you add an empty user account to the database, it removes the “create account” screen and disables any Kobo online services. Then you can install KOReader and upload files over USB as everyone else has said.

Depends on what your focus is. If you want to build understanding of electronic components and how they interact through experimentation, Paul Falstad’s circuit simulator is a great start.

If you want to focus on digital logic, Logisim is great.

But here’s the thing: A microcontroller is controlled only through code. You want to learn electronics, you can simulate those. You want to learn about a specific microcontroller, read the manual for that controller. You want to learn to code a particular language, you learn that language.

You want to code on a microcontroller, get a microcontroller.

The raspberry pi pico is $4.

Edit:

Okay, so i was clicking around on Falstad’s site as i haven’t been there for a while and i found a thing called AVR8JS

This is literally what you are looking for! It allows you to set up a circuit, and use a simulated microcontroller to run C code on the circuit!

can you get oreos without the middle part? the cookies are already super sugary, i’d think there are some people who would rather skip the diabetes cream.

those guys have truly mastered the art of fusion cuisine. one place i used to frequent served a döner kebab four-cheese pan pizza with french fries on top.

then there’s of course the infamous Calskrove.

this guy has never been in a genuine swedish pizzeria run by a hardworking guy from the Levant. that’s true pizza.

i have over 300 hours in farming sim 2015. i bought the deluxe edition. got a little model tractor and a keychain.

i… don’t know.

hm, wonder where i got rosatom from then. i remembered there being something in the papers about it at least…

they’re building a particle accelerator. the HLC.

probably. the actual demographics shifts don’t make it over here, only the final numbers.

bastard used to be great when it was just one restaurant. went there a lot in uni. then they got popular, and while i haven’t been to the original place in like five years all their new locations are just… expensive and average.

it’s also built by a subsidiary of rosatom, if i’m not mistaken

posts, then all.

that unshielded CRT gives me anxiety.

one of them sounds like Kermit, the other sounds like Cookie Monster.

Parisare!

this doesn’t match my experience at all.

i had the misfortune once of having to try to understand a >400kLoC python codebase in a critical position and let me tell you that maintainability is a Problem. the system was older than most of the best practices of today and had a structure i can only describe as “a duolith of sqlalchemy soup”.

i have no idea what the strategy of the us democratic party was, I’m just reflecting on what i’ve on social media over the past month or so (a constant barrage of “don’t vote third party”) and comparing it to the results (very few people voting third party). of course there’s no way to know how much of that was due to said barrage, but we can for sure say that the people telling people to vote third party failed.

but like… if everyone is saying “don’t vote third party”, and the amount of third party votes significantly drops as a result, isn’t this what the result would look like?

doesn’t that mean it worked?
