I am pretty sure, there are enough adults, that have no idea what social networks do. I am pretty sure also, that kids are not really ready for explanation of complex technical functionality. They do not have enough math background and prob

The question is how to keep kids off social media. I am very thankful neighbor mom, who bought her son a smart watch and not a cheap android phone. Good example for other kids. It’s clear, that departments with lots of clever people are doi

I would say, our modern controlled democracy can’t solve any problem. Why “controlled”? Because only professional conmen backed by some shady organizations can enter the voting list with real election change. I know tons really smart and go

Yes. De-industrialization comes with internal combustion engine ban. Whole Mittelstand makes very special parts for them. With electric vehicles these companies will disappear and living standard in rural areas will fall. 2 decades ago it w

Raspberry Pi is out of stock everywhere. Triple regular price on eBay. Take Arduino. It’s probably more adopted than microbit.

Sure that was the case. But now there is a strategy “America first”. Sounds reasonable to me to think about German nukes.

Germany also left research of future energy technology and research of own weapons. Basically US must save Germany again and again for another hundreds of years keeping nuclear weapons in Germany. Also Germany went all-in in buying ship-wis

I almost quit my day job in 2020 building a product based on Raspberry Pi Compute module 4, it has great form factor. But I didn’t! And it was another proof, that playing safe is not the worst way to do things. What’s alternative!? As an el

I found very good metric somewhere: part count in all of the season sets vs. price. I don’t remember where, but there was writing, that while part count was decreasing, price increasing. And the best deal was too look for ~decade old used s

Any source for better quality products? Because I have a feeling, that some things might be more expensive, but in the essence it is the same crap with better packaging. Dreaming about buying water pistol, that doesn’t break within 2 weeks.

Wanted to get Model Y in the past. Nice comfy car, huge backseat and… a camera filming inside the car. Thanks no. Apparently for drowsiness detection, but I am not buying it. Time of flight camera staring at the driver’s face is kinda norma

Real 300 winter miles range means paper 400+ miles WLTP. And this is where expensive cars start. Real 300 kilometers look better, but still doable with rather expensive cars.

Kia should be the cheapest one. Genesis the most luxurious brand. Hyundai in the middle.

Hyundai group has Kia, Hyundai and Genesis. Basically an individual brand for every taste. I ordered one year ago and now canceled a Kia. Looks like, their factories are well loaded and Hyundai group doesn’t care about customers at all.

You can outsource everything right now to some dirt cheap offshore team. I doubt, that outsourcing alone will make you very rich.

Of course there is no shortage. You can buy all the parts from shady brokers at 10x price. My case it was 10x for PHY chip. ADCs were cheaper, only at 6-8x price. Solution: buy another, obsolete PHY chip for only 2x price and strip ADCs for

It would be ok having sane timeline for heat pumps conversion for coming decade. But now it’s fascism just telling, that no gas furnaces anymore starting next year. There is no plan, there is no strategy. Just pure ideological nonsense. Clo

The problem is that Germany isn’t California. There is winter and roads are covered in salt. And old cars rust through and are not road worthy after few welding sessions anymore.
