Honestly might benefit the US if TikTok gets shut down. Short form content is an endemic attention parasite.

Running a few ESPHome projects, it's great for rescuing those which I lost motivation to write code for. The ability to do processing on-device as well as with Home Assistant is neat, but writing those procedural routines with YAML tak

Can confirm. "Finished" all 10 levels in a minute on my first try of this strategy. Maybe the end detection area is too high...

Could someone clarify what the writer means by "locked-in" when describing the writing?

Home inkjet printers are only ideal for a niche usecase where you print lots of photos regularly (to the point where you need your own printer over a photo printing service). Their only advantage over laser printers is higher image quality.

With all the anti-consumer DRM shenanigans HP is trying these days (see: Instant Ink), I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

This anecdotally holds up, at least for Brother laser printers made in the 2010's. Over a decade later it's still working perfectly. Granted I do have to nudge a mechanical part back into place every year, but the service manual i

Plenty of DRM-free marketplaces like GOG or itch.io are available. No restrictions, play it however you want.

"American business-hating lumen chasers" is an incredibly shallow portrayal of that flashlight community. I've found flashlights to be one of the few product areas where "obscure AliExpress brands" actually outperfo

I've always wondered about this. I think, if the cost is no issue, replacing electric heaters with powerful computers (or crypto miners) is justified and actually beneficial. If you don't like supporting the crypto world you can a

Looks really useful! As a hardware designer I've had plenty of copy pasting bits of schematics to duplicate common functionality. Seems like this could be really helpful in preventing mistakes and increasing quality once used to it. Ha

What size and resolution is your screen? 720p on a 4k 27" looks visibly pixelated but on a phone looks just fine...

IIRC some choose to have a codpiece fitted to their wetsuits. Whether it serves a functional or cosmetic purpose is up for debate.

They are getting taught microcontroller programming in addition to programming on PCs - only now they teach the same language for both. I presume it's the school's difference between "Computer Science" and "Engineer

If the pins of the relay were insulated with heat-shrink and everything soldered + mounted nicely, this project would be more passable. In its current state it honestly seems like a fire hazard.

I agree. Sadly, it seems like C/C++ isn't popular for teaching the next generation to program microcontrollers (from my limited perspective, at least). At high school I was taught Arduino and C++ but younger students have rPi Pico

Are these fridges compressor-based like the larger fridges or Peltier (thermoelectric) like a lot of food "hot/cold boxes"? The latter are hugely inefficient, though on such a small scale maybe it doesn't matter as much.

This is why we can't have nice things. Any new technology is instantly leveraged to shove ads down people's throats and get them to buy more things they don't need.

Perhaps instead of rails you could go for a flying quadcopter-drone with some sort of manipulator arm. If it was light it could even land and charge from the same ports it uses to communicate with appliances. Of course if any big FAANG-comp

Can't believe that none of these designers thought that one might want to use a kitchen appliance with gloves on before slapping capacitive touch on everything...

Agreed. It works especially well for formatting where semantics matter, such as separating the term and definitions of flashcards. Hard to do with code, but easy with GPT.

Honestly surprised how low those rates are, given the constant enshittification of streaming services (and countless other things). Remember, if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing. https://pluralistic.net/2

> A 10GigE switch costs around $500 CAD right now and that is all you need. Surely your machines all need 10GbE NICs as well? Admittedly my hardware isn't the newest (2.5GbE at most), but from a quick search 10Gig PCIe cards are aro
