Not a purely musical mashup, but one of my all-time favorite youtube videos features a mashup song with the beatles, joan jett etc and clips of the 250 top imdb movies in 2 1/2 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

I have really enjoyed working with docker compose for development. For production, there is a great guide by the creator of FastAPI on how to spin up a docker swarm cluster to use almost the same files here: https://dockerswarm.r

I have a ttgo t5: http://www.lilygo.cn/prod_view.aspx?TypeId=50031&Id=1149&FId... Seems to match what you are looking for, with an esp32, an e-ink display and a battery connection. It is also quite cheap. I use mine

I have it! Pretty fun to play with, although I am not experienced in C++ so have not been able to make it do super useful things yet. It is also quite fiddly - I think it would take quite a lot of work for it to be useful as a daily driver.

I also believe some scenes are faked - at 1:30 the chainsaw is turned sideways instantly, a maneuver which should not be possible with the gimbal setup they are using, and especially not without moving the center of mass way of balance. Fun

To me, this seems more akin to the Arduino - a small, cheap board that you can program easily from your computer so that it provides immediate feedback, such as blinking. The Raspberry Pi is more like an experimentation platform for learnin

The next possible launch window is three minutes earlier tomorrow. (6:07 PM ET) EDIT: The big problem was the air forces radar going down, a transmitter went down as well, but if I understand Musk correctly that was not needed.

If I've understood it correctly, the subsidary in the tax haven actually owns the IP and then licenses it out to the proper company at high rates. This way, the profits are shifted from the regular firm to the company in the tax haven,

Maybe even a government agency? It could notify the company, follow up on whether they fixed the issue and sanction it if nothing has happened. Then it would allow the researcher to publish an article and protect him from retribution.
