The linked page to their company site specifically states "We are FAA Part 107 Certified and Fully Insured." As the article does not state anything related to violating FAA rules, it'd be safe to assume (until proven otherwis

Sure they are capable of running for years but they can fail at inopportune times. Every time one has died on me, it always seemed to be the microSD card that died. And that's with using reputable industrial cards and log2ram. Also the

Their suggestion for log2ram does help for the most part but depending on what the pi is running, even that doesn't completely solve it. I've burnt out a number of microSD cards running a Pi-hole instance. I finally gave up and mo

Their FM station is a "translator" which listens to their AM station and rebroadcasts it. Translators are a secondary service that must only rebroadcast their primary service.

How does that make it not a tax? You can choose not to buy goods and not pay sales tax, choose not to own a home and pay real estate taxes, choose to not have a job and pay income tax, etc...

Pretty much everyone I know in IT-related fields despise laser/inkjet printer companies and their slimy tactics. I refuse to touch anything HP at all any more, solely due to their printer drivers. I've gotten to steer a number of

Technically we have Richard Reid, the "shoe bomber" to thank for having to remove footwear, from an attempt which happened later the same year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_63_(2...

The ESP32 does have internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on certain pins. I believe GPIO14 on this board maps to GPIO22 on the ESP32 chip (mismatched IO pin labels is bit of a pet peeve for me!) which does have pull-up and pull-down res

There's a built-in option to align buttons center or left. No third-party tools necessary, unless you want something different than left or center. Or is this in reference to the entire bar? If so, was that possible in Win 10?

Does LibreWolf take the "Microsoft approach" like Firefox now does and abruptly force you to close the browser to complete an update, even if you are in the middle of a browsing session? I had other issues like memory leaks/

I'd recommend looking at Tasmota and/or ESPHome support list and getting one of those. Both are 100% open source and do not talk to any external servers. Some devices can be reflashed over-the-air and some need to be taken apart a

I really like my https://www.bettergeiger.com/ (no affiliation with them, I just own one and am happy with it) It uses a solid-state scintillator instead of the older and less sensitive Geiger-Müller tube.

Rather than make a custom case, it would have been neat to see this PCB just slightly smaller that it'd drop right in the Blackberry 9900 housing to match the keyboard. There are loads of reasonably priced enclosures available that are

"Brass wool", basically a clump of brass shavings, is quite popular as well. I sometimes use that, sometimes use a damp sponge and I don't find any giant difference between the two. Some people say the brass type are better (

Is there any concern of additional eye fatigue w/ time-of-flight sensors? It's purely anecdotal but I was on a project that involved ToF sensors and and a couple on my desk pointed at me. After some time, I noticed my eyes hurt by

Any issues using the Hive without the hub? They sure make it sound required... Any features that don't work, etc? And HA can fully control the Hive thermostat via Zigbee?

I believe this repo is private. GitHub uses a 404 for that instead of a 401 or other options.

Yes, this drives me bonkers as well! The worst is when you want to sort on top of this, e.g. searching Amazon or eBay for "ThingA ThingB" and then sorting by lowest price first, you end up with pages of ThingX, ThingY, ThingZ with

So millimeters, then? :) "M" is used quite frequently for million along with "K" for thousand. "MM" as million is used in conjunction with "M" for thousand, but that's a different notation set. &

I doubt I'll never buy an automatic transmission vehicle. If that means never buying a new car after some point, then so be it. I've had quite a few manual transmission cars over the years and have driven them through all the thin

Agreed, their existing products are impossible to source. I've been trying to find a USB Accelerator, Mini PCIe Accelerator, or M.2 Accelerator for quite a while. I don't even care which, just any one of them! Deciding to release
