That's nothing - in February of last year, I had a USB thumbdrive failure and lost a year's work, and only recovered from that in December.
I *wish* it could have been fixed with a simple windows reinstall...

I'm sorry to hear that.
I've managed to train myself to use remote source control for everything non-trivial but that took a lot of lost data.

Yeah, I learned that lesson too.
Now.

I used to read Willamette Week which was a little zine from Portland, OR largely about the music scene there. It was a hoot to read the names of the various bands that were playing in the area. There was one that has stuck with me over the years and it is eminently appropriate here: Polkacide.

I bought this little ESP_Audio_Kit, which is a devboard with a little SoC called an ESP32 A1S. It's an ESP32 with an integrated AC102 audio codec, and some "AI acceleration" whatever that means.
I think it's meant for doing voice recognition/voice processing ala Alexa.
I bought it by mistake. It looked very similar to a board I was hunting for online, but at the time I didn't know what I was looking for.
Anyway, I tried to plug it in and code for it, but the problem is Arduino IDE, Platform I/O, and even the stock ESP-ADF (an audio development SDK from the makers of the ESP32) do not work with it.
I tried hacking the ESP-ADF with the very little information on this board I could find online, and got an MP3 player to compile and upload, but I never got any sound.
I tried going to the website. It's in Chinese. Fine. Google translate. What website? The makers tossed this entire device down the memory hole. Their website doesn't mention it.
The only thing I can find about this device from the people that made it are a few desperate pleas for help from them on the Espressif ESP32 support forums on making this board they made work with the ESP-IDF from several years ago.

I took a look at the article. Pretty sure this is fake news.
I did not see any "family" or people in the pictures.
Just saw a tent. It's probably safe for the tent to camp out there. 
Just not people.

Totally something for me, forgetting when I am when waking up and heading straight for the morning coffee with half closed eyes.

The most notable thing about common sense is that it is not so common.

Neat,
A literary allusion[^] for 'falling of the edge'. I hope that doesn't mean that you are a flat earther.
Otherwise we'll need another duck parody.

The Earth can't be flat.
Cats would have shoved everything over the edge by now ...

The earth is round.
But that doesn't mean it's safe to camp on the edge of a collapsing cliff like in the news article you posted. I wonder if they could have figured this out using circular reasoning?
