Reporting on Australia's encryption laws is wildly inaccurate. For one, it does not allow authorities to compel companies or individuals to introduce an encryption backdoor. The law very explicitly addresses this issue, see section 317

I agree that email shouldn't be considered secure but disagree that you should just give up as a result. It's trivial to use an email provider in a more privacy-friendly jurisdiction (e.g. Mailbox.org in Germany) and with a bit of

I disagree with much of your comment: > I lost a lot of faith in Proton when I learned how much funding they took from the EU. Unless the origins of the money are unethical (e.g. blood money), it's not where it comes from that matte

Many still do provide cameras. My Finnair flight recently had it. The coolest thing I've had was being able to listen into the pilots' radio.

For tVOCs and inaccurate, inferred CO2 readings, absolutely. Sensors like the BME680 or SGP30 are ~4mm square. For real CO2 sensors, not yet. The smallest accurate sensor I've worked with is the SCD30 and it's much too large to fi

Awair Glow doesn't measure CO2, it infers it based on other readings. The results of doing this way are never accurate.

I'm not the OP but it's fairly simple: corporations wouldn't get taxed. Instead, shareholders would be taxed, as they're the ones who own the company and ultimately profit from the company's activities. You could do

I think perhaps you're unfamiliar with the open source competition. Most of the open source VNC servers support something like H.264 which while a little dated, is still quite efficient, especially for the low-latency streaming needed

It does auto filling of username and password but as far as I'm aware, nothing but iOS itself can fill form fields like name and address.

I wonder what the most fountainous city is. Rome's population is 2.8M so that's 1120 people per fountain. Zürich has a population of 409k and 1200 fountains, so only 341 per fountain.

You should search your package manager, not Duckduckgo. On Debian-based distros it's simply called xvfb, on Arch Linux it's xorg-server-xvfb, in the RHEL ecosystem it's xorg-x11-server-Xvfb but might require enabling extra re

Xvfb would give you the virtual desktop that the TeamViewer Server gives you access to. You'd still use the TeamViewer client to connect to it. Xvfb is just a way of running a graphical environment on a machine that doesn't otherw

$5/TB is getting pretty common now (Backblaze B2 comes to mind) and if you roll your own you can get ~1.6EUR/TB from providers like Hetzner ( https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx ).

The Adafruit sensor is just the sensor, the PurpleAir II is two sensors plus extra logic that processes the readings to give extra accuracy. You can't expect one sensor to give the same performance as two sensors plus correction logic.

If you just want a sensor rather than a full retail device I'd recommend the SPS30. I have one and it's very easy to work with and per that table, is very accurate, while not needing any extra software correction. It's also c

I've built my own "IoT" Sensors by hooking up a bunch of components to an ESP32 on a breadboard. I ended up going with: - CO2: Sensirion SCD30 - Particulates: Amphenol SM-UART-04L - VOC: Sensirion SGP30 - Temperature/hum

Do you have a PurpleAir II to compare against? I suspect that there will be some extra calibration or signal processing some to make it more accurate that will be missing in the raw sensor. EDIT: The link we're discussing says this exp

There are a bunch of raw sensor components that you can connect to an Arduino or Pi. I ended up going with the Sensirion SCD30 but also tested options from Amphenol's Telaire line. Both are pretty easy to communicate with using an Ardu

I'm curious if anyone knows of a good option for symmetric 10Gbps at home. Only thing I can think of is a Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 10Gb switch and a PC with a NIC with two 10Gb SFP+ ports to handle NAT, DHCP etc.
