If it’s not visible to other users or paying LLMs then it’s worthless. That’s what I’m getting at.

Funny how all the commenters with your opinion are green. I wonder what’s going on there?!? /s

There’s a huge incentive for Reddit to retain the comments - that’s their knowledge base. Without that a lot of their value is gone.

One of the best I’ve seen is for manufacturing and inspection. Eg, it highlights the next set of holes to place bolts into, then gives tightening order, etc. It eliminates the need to think about each step.

Correct, I just used the micropython implementation. So long as I could get it to work in my individual use case it was ok by me, and indeed I had no real trouble getting it to work.

I appreciate you engaging with commenters on this, it’s nice to see. From my perspective I agree with a lot of the other commenters - it’s just design for design’s sake. It’s an expensive way to add minor visual flair that heavily degrades

Absolutely. It has 4x 10-bit ADCs built in, so precise measurement is quite easy. I used a voltage divider to change the range from 5V to 3.3V. As mentioned in other comments, the Pico has two cores, so I’m actually running the small web se

It shipped with the hardware, albeit unused. They always intended to go back and add Bluetooth support, so it’s nice it’s here now.

Precisely. It’s best to think of it as a dedicated and customisable IoT device. I put one in my coffee machine, for example, so that I can turn it on/off remotely or on a schedule, as well as read the grinder value much more precisely

I'm running an NA-345 from Axiomtek, which I've been very happy with. Lanner Inc also make small embedded systems for a few hundred dollars as well. Both are viable here.

Great explanation, thanks.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does swiftkey offer over the usual keyboard? A quick google seems to bring up "better predictive text" and "better multi-language support" - is that it?

Not here to one-up you, but currently this is just down to how you ask. I came up with this in about a minute: "Please list all 50 US state capital cities, with the list sorted alphabetically starting at the first letter of each line

Yeah, I definitely can't see it with my 'normal' colour vision. I did notice down in the comments there's a processed version that lets you see where the letters are, but even with that knowledge it's still impossi

I have the same issue. Things look blurry at any font size below 12pt, which affects pretty much all of my use cases since I live in the terminal, sized at 10pt. This is especially bad with the bold version of the font. I really like the

Your postscript is a bit unfair to racing drivers - it's actually an incredibly physically demanding sport.

Sadly it doesn't allow all my receipts to be uploaded as a single pdf, I have to split them all up individually. Most other systems let you do this.

I use an old ipad combined with DAK Board. No real setup required other than setting up DAK Board how you like and creating a full-screen shortcut to the page on the ipad so it shows borderless.

I'm in that 25%. The fewer people I have to give my card details to, the better. It also saves me remembering/typing in the details every time since I just need to use my password manager to log into paypal and then I'm goo

Wouldn’t this be a first in, first out approach if you’re consuming the oldest item on the shelf whenever you need it?

In Sydney, Australia. I’d say I’m quite a conservative, safe driver (I have kids). I don’t tailgate, and actually I’ve never had it false positive on a car driving in front of me. It’s typically on stationary objects, or small moving object

Allow me to take you for a drive in my Volvo V90. I turned the auto-braking feature off entirely because it spits false positives like crazy. Parked cars, signs, birds, cars travelling through roundabouts across my nose, nothing at all - th

Precisely. It was only after I’d purchased a 2020 Volvo that I realised that they’re trying to compete with the luxury car manufacturers on a fraction of their budget. It shows. I have nearly every safety feature turned off in the car becau

Completely agree. I own a 2020 V90 CC and the software is far worse in many regards than the car that it replaced: a 2016 base model VW Golf. I have radio glitches, the parking sensors kick in when no objects are present, the drive profiles

Good fun, but not intuitive for people who drive on the left-hand side of the road (the somebody at bone/somebody at flower path assumes right-hand drive). Occupying the same space also feels wrong - I didn't even try this until

Exactly. I actually think it fits the casual outdoors-person quite well. I do weekend trips, offroading, some mountain biking, some scuba diving, work in the garage.. Something like this is great because a) it's durable and I don&#x

Wireless air systems work in the kHz range, while bluetooth is up in the GHz range unfortunately. I would love to see a system that uses ultra-high frequency noise in combination with the watch microphone, but it's doubtful manufacture
