"Except it’s not an android. Androids are designed to pass as humans. This is simply a humanoid robot, and the author of this article should be ashamed. I expected more out of Hackaday and Benchoff is a complete idiot. Rabble rabble I don’t have to put up with this clickbait"

Wow! OSH Park can get that much texturing on a PCB?

oshpark wrote 04/22/2017 at 05:57 point

Yeah, Andrew Sowa was able to construct a 5 color palette.  The 2 layer FR4 seems to work best.  Our 4 layer is FR408 which is white.  As the silkscreen is already white, it ends up essentially being a 4 color palette.

I Boo'ed whenever I was mentioned.

IN OTHER NEWS, making coffee was insane. Giant, 4 gallon percolators on a 110 supply. Do you know how long it takes to heat up four gallons of water? I'm changing those coffee makers to 220.

I think you need a "best-out-of-context" section... Scrolling backwards through the logs, this one-liner is fun: "I'm just saying, if you have coworkers, don't get blues"

Used Notepad++ and python

Now try to crack that. You may not break it with a X86, but surely will do with a Z80

Oh haha, that's what alpha_ninja had in their ninja zip file. 

I'll give you all a hint (that alpha_ninja observed), the original values were ASCII chars and there is a reason why the above is all even hex values.
