I am hardware developer and certified electrician as a hobby. I have regularly clients that are buying time while I do really simple things on the property. It’s really cringe to be asked to vacuum their dirt for couple hours. I am paid pre

State subsidies and insane overregulation. Think about replacing the cabinet for electricity meters (+4000€) for heat pump installation.

Nothing amusing. Germany is not really rich compared to nordics. And now let‘s do so math! Electricity: 0,3€/kWh and gas 0,1€/kWh. I need ~3x more gas to get same temperature in my room. And gas heating costs €10k while heat pump

I am no Tesla fanboy. But let’s face the truth. Teslas leave factory with end of line check. Then they are driven more than average cars for 3 years without any maintenance. Then go for check. And surprise surprise, the first model Ys were

Would be the end different if it was another oversized car like X7, G-Klasse or Cayenne? Edit: I am really curious why there is no real vehicle physical size tax in Germany. Let’s take reference as VW Golf. Smaller cars cost less, bigger mo

Absolutely the same with RAMs in Germany. Big toys for rich guys to compensate something small. Takes at least 2 parking spots and doesn’t fit anyway. On other hand the RAMs are not relevant for the average citizen. Crazy fuel consumption i

It’s cool! But it would be nice AMD SoC project. Camera pre-processing pipeline and motion control in FPGA part for lowest possible delay and machine learning on ARM cores. Eventually with some acceleration in FPGA part too.

It makes no sense at all. You have measurable frequency range. But you have no idea how particular brain weights the specific frequencies in the range. Some people can live comfortable life hearing only 200 Hz to 6000 Hz from birth. The oth

As an hardware engineer I would trust the numbers. With radar, lidar and camera fusion more could be achieved. Or April tags on the main streets in the city. Ar magnetic markers in the streets.

I say as an electrician that car batteries have limited use. Chinese residential batteries can be installed by me alone. Even 40-60 kWh modular ones. Car battery needs forklift and every model has different interface. Economically sourcing

There are no real promotions. It‘s about employment duration. In Bavaria you have like 12 salary groups. For white collar workers 9 is entry level, 10 is for some experience, 11 for experienced and 12 is the carrot to work harder for. Some
