In typical Android fashion, this app is essentially the mathematical inverse of the iPhone version. The UI on the iOS Kino app is beautiful, crafted, and elegant. The UI on MotionCam (even after the update) is functional, brutalist, and pur

Even after seeing this comment, I thought it was a CAD plugin as well. I think the main thing is that there is no screenshot of the entire UI or window of the program on your website. It looks like there's some VSCode and as others men

I don't shut down my computers. From a hardware perspective, it seems to be high temperature for a long time (>70C, >55C if it's passively cooled) and thermal cycling are the two mechanisms that cause hardware to fail. Neith

I'm wondering if many of the failures in electronically controlled equipment are due to power surges etc. It may be worth having a whole-home (or equipment specific) surge protective device installed, which will protect the power elect

Just want to provide a second data point on the Dell hubs - I have two, one D6000 and one D3100. They're both DisplayLink, one appears to be higher end than the other. While I was using them with the M1 Mac Mini, they were excellent, a

This isn't a bad idea at all! Typically, this technique is actually known as dynamic range compression (DRC), which is a form of AGC and a technique for reducing the difference between quiet and loud sounds [by reducing the volume of s

The carbon filters in this machine are fairly sparsely filled and don't have a significant amount of carbon in them. Typically replacement is recommended after about 6 months or so, but I've found that with heavy use, similar filt

The real "hack" lies in the IKEA STARKVIND air filters. They're from a reputable manufacturer, are HEPA filters, and best of all, they only cost $14.99 CAD (price may vary in your country). This makes them great as *replaceme

On some MacBook models (Intel), there was a sensor for this that you could access with the iStat menus app (among other ones) that did the same thing - it measured the power/current at "CPU Computing Highside", or in other wo

On Android you actually have something better than Filmic Pro, you can use something called MotionCam [Pro], which allows you to record RAW video, or optionally ProRes or HEVC (still in beta/alpha right now) in various log formats. The

In this particular case, it's because the CAN bus shares two wires across all devices, with everything connected in parallel. Water ingress or catastrophic failure to any of the wires, connectors, or terminations/devices can resul

This one is a little bit different since there are actually still two (well three systems here: 48V, 12V, and the ICE). These systems have existed for quite some time, since it was a lot easier to use high voltage rated components for all o

Seems like there's been relatively less attention on the 48V/800V architecture and the Ethernet comms/steer by wire setup, but I think those are what make this particular vehicle quite interesting. Up until recently I think 4

It also reminds me of this wallpaper [1] I found a couple years ago while hunting for good quality 4K wallpapers. The resemblance is probably due to being set in the same city/area/theme but it has a similar vibe. [1] https:&#x2F

Interestingly, in Chinese, the actual word for a "restaurant" is often quite literally translated, "meal/food store", or 饭店, and a 店 is just a store.

I believe one of the reasons it is slow is because it is also updating the firmware on any number of connected ECUs over the CAN bus. This typically means the image has to be sent over a 500kbit/s bus so there is a limit to how long it

One way to potentially resolve this is to place the setup in a darker place and/or add a piece of tinted transparent material in front of the camera. The camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed (not the frame rate) because o

Adding on to this, newer iPhones have a ProRAW feature. Various tech youtubers have documented ways to create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to automatically convert them to HEIF or JPEG, which might impose slightly less processing. Simila

This is a slightly off topic response as well, but some Android phones are currently capable of shooting RAW video in 12MP, sometimes at 60fps (more than 4K 8.3MP). Google shot a music video [1] (unfortunately only available in 1080p) on th

LG now sells inverter microwaves under the NeoChef brand, I believe. I saw one in a second hand store recently so they've existed for a while now. I haven't tested one to see if it interferes with anything, though.

It looks like there's extra space inside to hold the charger above what looks like a fairly compact battery, so it would have been nice if they included some mechanism to have an extension battery optionally stored inside of it instead
