Code-hopping remotes have existed for a very long time, and I am really surprised that it's not the case here. I have had cars that were made in the 90's that used keeloq, a technology from the mid 80's. In fact, all of my do

Are you referring to the "Forbes fraudy under forty" list?

Updating firmware is like buying new underwear - I do it only when the old ones stop working (or have visible holes).

Can you elaborate on what objections you have to Librewolf and why IceCat is better?

This. There is seemingly no incentive for manufacturers to make it harder to steal their cars - every stolen car is likely a new sale.

From my experiments with the Deepseek Qwen-32b distill model, the Deepseek model did not follow the edit instructions - the format was wrong. I know the distill models are not at all the same as the full model, but that could provide a clue

Yeah, from my limited view point it really looks like Linus is a genuine person. He says what he thinks and there are no hidden agendas. That is very refreshing in current times.

If telementry is your main concern, just use vscodium. (or stick to SublimeText - I use both) https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases

I haven't seen any tearing in X in at least 5 years - with nvidia, nouveau and intel drivers. I don't think I'm doing anything special to achieve this, so your comment seems like a strange assertion to me? I agree that X11 ha

Yes, but as long as you keep it above the dew point, it's not an issue. You also don't want to cool it below that for another reason - it's unpleasant to walk on. The idea is that you design it so that you have adequate energ

As far as I know, the Blue card income requirement is the same across the EU, and also quite a bit higher than the HSV income requirement in the Netherlands. If you have a choice, the Blue card is better as it gives more mobility and more t

The latest trend is to change your underfloor heating to a air-to-water heatpump system. In theory that can be used to heat and cool. They can also achieve very high SCOP values, meaning you need less energy. Air-to-air heatpumps (aircons t

The CPU was launched in Q2 2018, so that is also 6 years. I wonder what the outcome will be with a CPU that supports AVX-512 and a more recent GPU.

Using FFT to dot matmul is much more memory intensive, IIRC. CUDNN supports FFT to do matmul as well as convolution/correlation and can also be configured to automatically use the best algorithm. In some cases the FFT method has the in

Yup, my ADHD also grants me this ability. I use my alarm maybe 4 times a year, and even then it's usually not needed.

Is it opensource? Many routers are based on openwrt, but are not in any way recognizable as such. (ex. Trendnet).

Yeah, if I'm reading something, I want to have an indication of how long a page is and where I am currently. I don't want to have to move my mouse somewhere to get that information.

My experience with this class of Chinese manufactured inverters are that they all use TI TMS320F28xxx series DSPs and usually without any protection fuses burnt. If you look hard enough you should also be able to find unencrypted firmware a

I have all my untrusted devices (including cameras) on a VLAN that does not have internet access, but is reachable from my main VLAN (but not the other way around). Then I have frigate and homeassistant running on the main VLAN that can con

It makes sense. If you are an investor and have a strong belief that a specific product or idea is a good one - you might want to decouple your odds of success from the people/team/company executing that idea.

Ok, I'll admit that I have not tested that many phones, but all the phones I had in the last ~8 years would not detect my remotes unless I used the front camera. That could very well be because all the remotes I tested operate on 940nm

I don't but it's easy to test, just pick up a TV remote and press a button while pointing it towards the camera. It should look like a flashing white LED. I should also mention that both IR illuminators and TV remotes are usually

Most phone cameras have pretty steep IR cut filters these days. The front camera on most phones still don't, so you have to use that. That said, most of these spy cameras don't have IR illuminators...

That is so strange. If it were 9-bit bytes, that would make sense: 8bits+parity. Then a word is just 32bits+4 parity.

I have been passively looking at doing something like you are suggesting, but then also turning it into more of a video camera. My main motivation is that it seems pretty much impossible to get a off the shelf sensor that has DPAF. One big

Generally I agree with you, however the ones from waveshare are surprisingly good, albeit with a 16bit (RGB565) interface.
