A few years ago I created something similar for the London Tube although it was much more crude, just a pi zero and a strip of RGB LED lights that represented the colours of the tube lines. The store that made the LED strip caught wind of i

I always start out with the best of intentions for dotfile mangement etc, using tools like stow, git and so on. Eventually I get lazy and don't bother checking stuff in and forget where half of the stuff is. Might try this solution but

IANAL but I think the license you buy from google play or apple or whatever is not a license for the content, it's a license to access the content from the provider through a specific player/app. So getting content from musicbacku

I think this is kinda neat (and scary!) I'm doing AoC at the moment too and I'm using the chat GPT thing as a sort of assistant. I don't program in Rust much so sometimes it's difficult to remember certain things and fun

> The Zoe is a 33 000 € car brand new. The Zoe has been around since 2012, although you're probably want a model from 2015 onwards. There's a big used car market for Zoes out there. I get your point though, more modern EVs are

Last.fm died (as in for me personally) when I stopped cultivating my own music library. I used to have gigabytes of MP3s and FLACs, all neatly organised into folders, usually by artist/album, and meticulously maintained ID3 tags. All p

I bought the original Echo back when it first came out. It was a neat internet radio device and Bluetooth speaker but outside of making it play the radio I never really used the voice functionality much. I remember one of the places where I

My car has in built (TomTom) sat nav too with a nice wide-screen display. The tom tom maps make full use of the screen and very legible. Android auto gets forced into this like 4:3 resolution in the middle of the screen which sucks and I ca

I've got 3 pi's running all the time with a small 5 port unmanaged switch and the whole setup consumes around 0.2KwH per day.

I remember this happening and it going viral, very amusing at the time, and reading about the comedy of errors that led up to it is even better. I'd imagine processes at broadcasters got a lot more stringent after this (i.e. verifying

From what I remember with the launch of the Pi, I think the demand far exceeded their expectations. Remember that the thing was launched as an educational computer for schools, with a model A and B variant. At least from this article [1] it

Working in a warehouse for 6 weeks is gruelling, and from the interview it sounds like he got a taste of that experience, but I think there's a marked difference between working for the novelty of it and working because you're liv

In the UK, I've seen a lot of vendors (when they do get stock in) only sell them as part of a bundle, with power adapter, case, SD card, usb and hdmi cables etc, which adds £20-£30 onto the price of the Pi. Probably partly as it's

Nextlander guys did a podcast about this, I generally got the impression they were just burnt out from years of building giant bomb and wanted out, this wasn't long after the RV acquisition.

For me all the drawing features etc. are kinda useless if it becomes a pain to export them to other things. The Amazon blurb around this > Get access to your notebooks through the Kindle app sync feature (coming early 2023). Suggests som

In the JEP they reference go and erlang as other examples of successful runtimes adopting this approach. Which is true around the M:N stuff, but the missing piece is the communication. Go has channels, Erlang uses the actor model, do you kn

I'm really hopeful we won't see this problem anymore. However a small part of me thinks some other coin/token/digital widget will gain traction and the whole GPU rush will come around again.

Does this mean GPU prices will go down? At least according to this article the validator nodes can be run on a Raspberry Pi [1] [1] https://ethereum.org/en/energy-consumption/
