It's a perfectly fine system. It just relies on our elected representatives not playing a game of chicken to get what they want, and act in the best interests of the country. Unfortunately, for a whole lot of reasons, they haven&#x27

You can put the ESP32 into deep sleep, and it can wake based on a timer, or it can run the ultra-low-power core which is a very slow, very low memory, very low power core. It's good enough to look at ADC or I2C devices and do a little

Thread is fine, but also wifi is fine. Sleepy end device doesn't work very well with wifi, as I understand it, (from trying to implement it using the ESP32 SDK), because Matter generally wants all devices to check in several times an

I really like the idea of an open, local standard for this stuff. I have been a little annoyed at the matter standards immaturity still. Two things I’ve noticed is that there’s not good support for very low power devices that use WiFi. W

Unfortunate that he's advertising an expensive powder... That said, based on his advice in a previous video, now I run the hot water tap until it's hot. I put a pod in the dispenser, and I sprinkle some powder into the dishwasher

Not to mention the amount of stuff that's simply unavailable. I remember fondly the original Netflix where they mailed you DVDs. They really had almost everything. I was watching all kinds of weird art movies and such. Now someone

I wish Apple TV did that. It has a global search feature. My kids push the button on the side of the remote and say what they want to watch. Then they get a screen saying you can rent it for $6.99 or whatever, and I'm thinking &quot

Presumably most people aren't like you though or companies wouldn't spend $500 billion on it.

It's a lot more than that. The U.S. online ad market is something like $400-500 billion, so that's about $100/mo per person. The problem is that some people are worth a lot more to advertise to than others. Someone who use

Yes there are a lot of complicated second order effects from an increase in the average, but if you simply told people "We're looking at temperatures everywhere going up by 5.6 degrees on average, all the time", that sounds l

by cameldrv 1y ago
Everyone who cares about climate change needs to stop talking about it in C to an American audience. 2 degrees sounds small, but 3.6 degrees F is significant. 3 degrees still sounds reasonably small, but 5.6 degrees F is getting to be a l

Yes shift the opening and closing times of everything. Get everyone to coordinate, so that your kids' school time doesn't shift relative to when you need to be at work, not to mention everything else where two different organizat

If you live at high latitude (Canada, N. Europe, etc), in the winter, the sun only gets 15-20 degrees above the horizon in the middle of the winter, and a vertical panel accumulates snow much less than even a mild slope. Part of the issue i

Weirdly eightsleep apparently is sending 16GB of data per month worth of telemetry. It's been pointed out that that's about enough for a live audio stream of everything that happens in your bedroom. It can't be cheap to pro

The Turbo Pascal version of this was even better, because you could do a whole block of asm instead of just a single line at a time. As I remember there were annoying limitations in the C version around labels and such. It was incredibly

Yes. Back in the DOS days, and even before, when people used actual terminals, there was a keystroke buffer. You'd see people who really knew the interface fly through tasks being multiple keystrokes ahead of the UI. Stuff would jus

Yeah and the E-7 was recently cancelled. This is what Hegseth said to Congress a few months ago: “The answer is yes. I would. I would file this entire discussion under difficult choices that we have to make. But you know, the E-7, in parti

At least for AT&T, Kodak, and IBM, what was funding their research divisions was monopoly profits. When those dried up, the research dried up as well. The modern equivalent to AT&T is Google.

By my math that's about 10 cents per kilowatt hour. That's pretty good for California.

Could be worse. If you lived in California you'd pay triple the "above-market electricity rates" you currently pay.

This should be made illegal. It’s a massive national security threat. Imagine on the eve of a war, instead of Jeep 4xes, it’s every recent Ford or Toyota or GM car, and instead of a software update that can be rolled back, it wipes the fl

Same thing with Audible. Very annoying. When you open the app, it shows you ads for books to buy instead of the books you already have or the book you're listening to now. Of course, they do not care. Whether you actually listen to

I've seen a lot of upcoding on my bills and it really aggravates me. It's fraud and the doctors should be happy that the insurance company is just reducing their payments instead of dropping them or trying to get them prosecuted.

ESP stuff is very cheap and works well, but the Arduino Uno is a great board/ecosystem for beginners and simple projects. Being 5V is more convenient for a lot of things, and having the pin headers already on the board that you can ju

IMO underappreciated is that a big bump in the AMD stock price helps AMD a lot because it will help it attract talent. NVIDIA has a lot of very talented people with high standards and that’s a huge part of their success.
