When stopping down you also can use the distance markings on the focus ring effectively (it's easier to do with sufficient depth of field, and with a DSLR you can practice as much as you like). Over time you can do this intuitively, li

The way I handle this is to have a cronjob on the router that automatically resets the (virtual) interface when it can't successfully ping the modem.

Localized floor switches with SFP are actually quite common in commercial installs. At home it's possible to have one basement rack and connect all the wall jacks to it, but those runs are too long and clumsy in a large office building

Would a DIY solution like this run afoul of building codes? How about insurance coverage if something happens? On one end of the spectrum you can have say a Powerwall system wired by a electrician and with all work signed off by a city insp

With a MS/Gmail/etc. account you're also a violation away from losing your identity. At least with your own domain you can port it over to any hoster you like as the domain remains yours.

The oven won't be on 24/7 and even if you're baking the elements cycle on and off (that's why you hear the clicking relays). You'll have to integrate it over a month and compare that to the constant consumption of a

I ended up doodling up some ideas [1] based off this, with a pendant, OLED display, and a separate battery holder hooked to the ears coming to mind. A similar design would also be cool for earbuds and IEMs especially if the lights could be

That argument could, interestingly enough, technically apply to the power company or landlord as well. I mean people are renting a house and buying electricity to pirate right?

I'm not sure about the rechargeable aspect, but for programmability you could use a small IR receiver placed in the center of the LED array. You really only need a one way data transmission and something like Bluetooth is overkill.

While following a guide can get someone set up quickly, the problem is that they may not have the background to deal with issues/breakage down the road. Maybe it's a botched update, a strange error, or so forth. The security side

This is why it's very important to have your email under a domain you own, rather than the email hoster's domain. That way your addresses remain portable and you can seamlessly switch providers if they go under.

That's why it's so rewarding to learn how to do all this the manual way. I started playing with the G1000 which basically did everything via GPS, then I tried some older planes which required the use of separate charts and VOR.

What comms app do you use that actually makes use of the 4K+ camera? Most of the Zoom/Teams/Webex calls I see are in 720p, with 1080p in some rare occassions. If you want to look good on cam lighting is way more important and in a
