This is an amazing series for understanding how you can make some sand ‘think’. It’s not just about putting it together - it’s his way of explaining why and how things work that makes it an incredible watch.
I built a modified ALU desk display from watching this - you use dip switches to set the value (between 0 and 255) and it will the count up in that number, displaying the decimal result in a 7 segment display (and binary as leds). It can count down too!
For anyone interested in reality:

The underground carpark for the Opera house that’s actually under the Botanic gardens close by: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-08/why-is-the-sydney-opera-house-car-park-spiral-in-shape/9270864
Why was it seen as a misstep?
I have memories of ramps, black z cars and a hotdog mission…
I think so, it doesn’t look like any device from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA).
The logo is from the first palms, but it’s way too curvy
My mind read that as ‘hearing challenged voters’ and thought ‘geez I wonder how loud they had the pa’
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
I’d recommend reading this article that was linked in the AP article which has more details about the sentence and following appeals:

She did stand trial - she was sentenced.
So she was 12 when she did it, but is still a danger to others 10 years later if I’m reading correctly.
Was the psychiatric hospital meant to rehabilitate her?
Another two judge dredds?
Just make it a Saturday and make it quick and easy to vote?
Then people can go to work before or after voting if they need.
Seriously it’s still a month away. The election cycle in the US is ridiculous.
Similarly plate tectonics - not fully recognised until the 60s apparently.
I bought a ugreen one from Amazon that had a y-split so it could charge and play aux out at the same time.
It had a crackle ☹️ (regardless of if it was charging)
But my cheap nobrand straight USBC to aux from Amazon I bought ages ago has been great.
I think it’s a toss up unless you’re going with a name brand converter (apple as another said, agree there - price vs performance will always be good) or a more powerful DAC like a Fiio.
Don’t forget dishwashers!
I mean we probably hear cheese the same too.

Here it is.
Top breadboard is solely for the decimal display. It has a timer to refresh the display and an eeprom with a lookup table to turn the binary inputs into outputs that show the decimal on the display.
Bottom is input dip switches and a register - value from 0 to 255 (and selecting if negating).
Blue dial, lonely red led and red button is the clock/reset.
The Green and Yellow combo is interesting - it loads the value you set through an xor gate (to do negating, under clock) into the adders (next to green leds). The output from the adders is displayed on the green leds, and copied to the register for the yellow ones. The yellow register is then tied to the other input of the adders, so on each clock cycle it loads the previous value and continually counts up (or down) in the number you selected.
The display is tied to the yellow leds for convenience (it was easier than trying to get to the green ones.
It’s a nice little desk display!
