The highest-efficiency electric heaters use heat pumps for efficiencies way above unity.

Traditionally (19th century British literature) any such technique was called "forcing" if it simulated an environment more favorable to growth. Techniques include light cycle variation (covering the plant with an opaque cover at

You can attach a USB modem to a SBC and go from there, that's probably the simplest way to approach it. The more complex way is to have an interface/isolation circuit using two GPIO pins (one input for ring detection, one output t

It's a huge red flag - they've temporarily disabled the function while they audit all APIs they're calling, but they still believe their core design is ok - this means they'll go back to emulate with pass-through everyth

Mainly in that you can customize the pattern. As far as I know the fridge magnets are a series of N/S stripes that are made by driving a long coil with AC and running the film past it at a speed tied to the mains frequency.

Patents are like nuclear weapons - they stay dangerous for a very long time, most who have them claim their primary function is to scare others who have them away from attacking them with theirs, but their actual function is to scare and ex

There are already automated "click to kill" turrets. They have a thermal camera and a gun, do automated target detection and automated killing. It's only due to customer demand that they have a human in the loop clicking the

Absolutely - and for a light switch it's appropriate. As an example of a thing that needs internet to function, consider a heater controller that has a high power and low power mode depending on momentary cost of electricity - it fetch

I build stuff like that - my approach is to limit capabilities to the absolute minimum, and anything that is not needed for function but necessary for debug/diagnostics stays on the device rather than going across the network. This lim

I think the implication was that some asshole can obtain photos of you sleeping by opening the curtains and switching on the lights in the middle of the night. A nuisance, sure, but also a massive violation of privacy.

Unfortunately, the reason the eggs are hidden is that they are a low-margin item and people looking for them will pass more high-margin items on the way and be possibly tempted to buy.

About the last bit, a long time ago I would use the ctypes library in Python to inspect, list, and call functions defined in .DLLs. All the symbol exports are right there in the object file, so for non-C++ callers you don't exactly nee

You can't get a contract like that - the terms are entirely dictated by the landlord in the absence of regulation because of the scarcity of housing.

(electronics dev here) My solution to this would be a small sensor box with a small LCD screen that shows a timecode. Show it to the camera at any time during recording for at least one timecode change and you have a synchronization point.
