My mom, in her 70s, barely gets iMessage -- half the time I receive "text" messages from her as an email! Throwing in Whatsapp or Telegram would just confuse her.

It's not the color of the message, for me. If an Apple user sends me a video it comes through as an extremely low resolution and highly compressed video. Look at the unwanted grackles at my mom's bird feeder: https://

Receiving videos which aren't crunched down to 320x240 resolution would be nice.

The early versions did not use integers, for what it's worth.

ESPresence [1] is an interesting project, and it works with the ESP32-C3. It is more designed to figure out which room you are in. 1. https://espresense.com/

If you base your project off of one of the examples, the project file has relative paths back to the SDK. For example: <file file_name="../../../../../../components/libraries/log/s

Yeah, Nordic crushes it right now with their sleep mode. Espressif is making progress in that area, though, but they have a lot of ground to make up. Out of curiosity, how do you flash the nrf52832 board?

I've only used the nRF5 SDK. It worked, and it worked well, but it was cumbersome to work with if you didn't want to keep your code in the same tree as the the SDK itself. This was probably an organizational issue on my part, ho

> No, the official Nordic devkits comes with a built-in debugger. Same for micro:bit. It's just plain USB. Right, the devkits can do this. If you want to go past that, like making your own PCB with a NRF52 on it you need JTAG, whic

You can get started with esp32 for $5. Nordic devkits are more expensive, and going past that requires a JTAG programmer, which is an expensive option for hobbyists and students. It's not surprising that they have taken off like they

Unless things have changed recently, Nordic is still king of low power applications. With that being said, I've worked with both the Nordic NRF SDK and the Espressif SDK and greatly preferred Espressif. For doo-dads that I make for my

I was so pleased when I learned that login.gov implemented U2F and advised against SMS. They also make websites which have excellent color contrast and intuitive design, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into each one.

Thanks for this. I have used most of these in the 90s but had completely forgotten that they even existed until just now. You've unlocked a memory that I had long forgotten.

oh, one other thing.. upgrading openwrt on x86 isn't as nice as other devices with a squashfs root. I can upgrade packages, but I don't think that I can really upgrade it without re-installing everything.
