Compared with other robots, it looks very impressive. Compared with living things, it looks ... well, could be better. Compared with human waltz dancers - I'd say it was a bad idea to use this as a reference.

Thanks. I miss-read it and thought it's energy harvesting from celular. I already have some trackers on important stuff (like keys and school bag of kids if they loose it in the bus). But for other use cases it's either too large

Cool. I want this for my cats, my kids, my keys and everything else. But I wonder: if millions of this are deployed, would this weaken cellular signals (by drawing power from it)?

That's why open source can never compete with business grade closed source stuff: - they fixed the in 3 hours instead of making customers wait 6 months for a patch (if any) - they did not try to sue the reporter of the issue - they did

Does anyone know if it's a good idea to base a product on Pi CM4/5 (or has experience with this)? I wonder how the availability any price in large quantities is (like 10k per year) and how reliable the connector is in comparison t

I guess "mostly" refers to the "drop-in upgrade", not to the 2-3x faster. The pinout has been modified slightly, so it's not 100% compatible.

My issue is the bypassing of the systems package manager. Doing so will result on files spread somewhere over the system. How do you uninstall such thing properly? How do you update (or even know) it's dependencies? Will it break becau

Another red flag. I cannot take any project serious that has this on its documentation.

I like this. While the scrolling stuff is quite standard, the user interface is very good. By using a standard keyboard, it enables a non-technical person to easily enter the text. Also having that all on a atiny is great. I would have expe

Yes, that was a typo. I meant it was using >20% of cpu.

A kubernetes master for 9 Nodes on CX21 (old tariff) is using ~25% of memory. So that one was throttled. Also some of the workers uses >20% on average. Makes no sense to me to book a vServer and not to use it's resources.

They added it on Tuesday and removed it today. Fortunately I made a screenshot (from the german version of the page). The support told me exact the same things that has been on the page and the our servers are throttled since >30 days. S

Using 20% is not really "computing". I have some kubernetes masters affected which are "almost idle" but have only 1-2 cores, so the baseline is above 20%...

Hetzner now throttling shared CPUs if you use >20%(docs.hetzner.com)

Hetzner has changed their FAQ for shared CPU cloud servers. Similar to AWS they define a CPU baseline (20-33%, depending on server type). If that baseline is permanently exceeded, the CPUs are throttled.

So what is a "passive component"? I guess, a water wheel that drives a pump that pupms water way above the surface level would count as active? What about a material that absorbs photons and emitts them at a higher energy level (e

Not this. But I'd care if my neighbour would fix his roof without proper safety stuff like a belt or whatever.

I'd say you will need a password manager with good auditing. Give them access to all the required passwords but log every access to it. So if someone leaves the company, you know which passwords to change. Groups and ACLs would help to

That feels so wrong to me: 1st to install node, an arbitrary script is downloaded and executed without having a look into it. Could do anything with the system. Then `sudo npm install -g pm2` is called. That means the stuff is installed as

Thank you so much. It's the first time I do understand the _why_ of that fact. But I could build up a lot of solar panels and use the electricity to heat up an oven more than the surface of the sun, right? Is that "cheating"

_This_ is exact the place where a LLM could step in and could really help: 1. Customer describes the problem 2. You get the problem, parsed by the model, including a summary and a suggestion what could help. 3. You write "do that 3 thi

Usually you do pre-tests before doing the expensive ones. Recently on HN was a link to https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/low-cost-emi-pre-... that allows you to do your own pre-tests. Also there are compa

Unrelated to the camera. But couldn't you add a long cable to a place where you can change a battery occasionally? Or use an external solar rechargeable battery pack?
