Yes, it has been done with ESP8266, it can produce shitty audio by itself and when the sender is close to the device with no interference - otherwise you need a dedicated DAC and it can be used as a simple webradio with mono audio output de

Right now the same power source, a simple adapter/transformer, is powering both. Thats the easy way, this solar pad way is just because it would be fun.

I didnt even know, Im happy with the toolchain, what am I missing from the latest gcc releases? Better colorful error output, more optimizations?

That is so awesome, thanks for this idea! What Im using esp8266 for, is to control a strip of those ws2812b led lights, the chip will not need much energy, only sporadically to change light colors or on/off, so if I place that solar pa

The toolchain is as good as for ARM, it is gcc no more no less. You perhaps mean the original SDK which was based on proprietary blobs and sucked. See it here, the good one, https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk

I dunno, I managed to get it running within a day or two, and had zero experience in this kind of electronics before. Used a raspberry pi to control it, with a button to switch it into programming mode. No soldering, just wires and breadboa

What chip would you recommend to do IoT which can run on harvested energy? What would be the upper limit which harvested energy could deliver? Do you mean solar cells or harvesting microwaves from satellites, I could get about 1.5V or so fr

Finally, am not alone in working with Dell Precision. People just do not know what they miss out on, using those stupid Asus Zenbooks (wife has one), and MacBook Pros, jesus, how can those things be called "laptops" or considered

Intelligence is not defined, from your quote, what is a general mental capability? Mental? What is that? Is that when you eat alof of mentos while listening to metal and thus become Mental? No human fits into "Strong AI" definitio

What you define as ton of data for a consumer drive is your opinion only, there are many customers who do video editing work and really want/need the disks they buy to fulfill their stated technical specifications of write speed. Samsu

No I would not. Whats to weird about that? Juniper is nice, ExtremeNetworks, Pluribus etc, its not like I have to eat shit from a supplier just because they have labeled it "low end", "customer" grade and so on.

Its the same company. They marketed it as warranty so and so, speed such and such, and in fact its a piece of shit, and Samsung does not stand by its own product. Even their newest Samsung EVO 850 is marketed as write speed ~500mb/s, b

Samsung can try to sell me 100TB SSD, and Ill decline thanks. Their EVO drives suffer from read degradation slowly over long periods of time. See EVO 840, after about a year it was down to 20MiB/s of continuous read speed. An SSD they

I agree, it is kind of obvious, wherever human appear, megafauna disappear, from Europe to South America. Oh must be climate change. It could be climate change, but that doesnt explain anything, since its so far reaching and general. Maybe

Because make is for managing dependencies, which it tracks by files, as soon as you need to do something which doesnt leave files around, such as start a new service, you then need to plug this hole, by using "touch" and leaving f

I recommend it just because it has questionable crypto, to feed at least some data into Russia and not only to USA. Just to not have only one unchallenged world surveillance power.
