I had an temperature and humidity sensor that uses one wire to read and write data from and to it. It has libraries in both Arduino and raspberry pi. The raspberry pi one does much worse and reads data wrong all the times - and given the li

I don't see pixels, but it probably doesn't mean you won't see it. It is a very nice screen, however, there might be bleedings - less or more depending on your luck. My girlfriend has a Macbook Air 11 inches and the Dell scre

So, question: How do you authenticate the person you are trying to message with, i.e. How do I know that I'm sending the message I want to send to (the real) Jason Greengrocer not the FBI pretending to be Jason?
