I maintain that "shuffle all" is the best way to listen to music, but sometimes you get odd / jarring interactions, like:
Intro - The Offspring, Conspiracy of One
followed immediately by:
A medly from Jersey Boys the musical.

Friends are talking about it, so I'm having a poke at deepseek-r1...
"If a message is successfully transmitted and no errors are detected, the TEC can be decremented by 1 as a form of penalty reduction. This is part of the CAN protocol's mechanism to encourage successful communication."
... THIS IS PART OF THE CAN PROTOCOL'S MECHANISM TO ENCOURAGE SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION! 😂

I've also decoded the remote buttons... I can see this being automated! 🙈
The "protocol" is nice and simple - an 8-bit sync, followed by an 8-bit ID... then there is a pair of values - LSB-first, 0 through 23, with the second of the pair bitwise inverted.
Shiny! (in a Kaylee voice)

Kiddo got a new night light, and it came with an IR remote(!)
Naturally, before he even knows it's in the house, I've pulled it apart.
The light is very nicely diffused - in part I think due to the central white plastic column (which houses the battery), but also in part because of the decent ring of LEDs.

... that said, I wish I had time on my hands to participate in the Tiny Tapeout shuttles!
I did get myself a little momento because it's an awesome project though.
Maybe one day. 🤞

IIRC, the extra kicker was that they couldn't actually use a 32.000kHz crystal or a 32.768kHz crystal because the one oscillator fed a series of modules, and different branches of the clock tree assumed one or other frequency.
... along the lines of, you can have an accurate RTC, or accurate timing for the field bus, but not both.
Let it be a lesson! 🤷♀️

Sure enough, after some back and forth, it turned out that the ASIC design team had opted for a 32.000kHz counter feeding the RTC.
My customer had just assumed that 32kHz means 32.768kHz, and had thus placed a 32.768kHz crystal next to their shiny new ASIC.
So the RTC ran at +2.4% (i.e: ~34m 33s 600ms fast PER DAY)

I was just reminded of an "implicit communication" story... I love communication as a topic.
While talking with a customer, they told me that "long ago", someone at the top of the company decided that producing an ASIC for their product was a sensible route (🥴). They specified a "32kHz" input to an oscillator that would ultimately do things like track time (i.e: RTC).
Once they received the first silicon back (💰💰📅), they put it on a PCB, and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't keep time.
