It's a lot of money, but if you are making a living professionally, in such a specialized profession too which can warrant charging more, you should pay for the tools you use. A plumber has the choice of buying the MegaPlumberPlus (mak

Have the same-ish, and it's pretty interesting. I think the BT communication is from phone to the right earbud, then something else (likely on 2.4GHz too) from right to left earbud. When I switch on the office lights, enter the lift, o

Teflon for example, is pretty stable when manufactured and in-application. But the company manufacturing it, DuPont, has shown despicable disregard for environment and people health and as such, imo, should get a healthy dose of "I ain

Unless you boycott Boeing 737-max similar airplanes, you may fly with one without knowing it. The name is really badly burnt and the only plausible way out of it for Boeing is renaming it to something that doesn't ring the bell. IIRC I

While I agree with the desire to reduce tracking on that, and other, site, there is a clear difference compared to when a government does it. For one, you could likely not avoid it if the gov did it, while you can "just" chose to

Love this kind of tweaking! Related and in the same manner is to make PCB antennas slightly longer than what you think you need, then tune by shortening (ie cut it with a knife) mm by mm and measure. When you get the desired freq response,

Thanks for the write-up, very interesting! Wow, the cold/warm soaks sound like they make for a very slow iterative process when it doesn't work on the first try. Do you have several systems soaked at the same time? So if the first

Yeah exactly, that's my point - going from "oh shit" to "I feel fairly comfortable" in this case shouldn't take 1.5 years.

Well, posting over HTTPS (with the worst certificates removed) instead of HTTP, perhaps with certificate pinning, isn't that hard and goes a long way.

Well the lease agreement for our office has changed a couple of times just the last two years, also without actually needing a re-sign of the agreement. So I think that's a pretty weak protection.

In one sense, it doesn't make sense. The productivity boost would likely be worth it alone. From another perspective, this is a +500$ post in the cost column of that unit (and perhaps n*500 if the whole unit then comes asking for the s

Do we have to assume that they do it to satisfy an IG crowd, or can we simply allow them doing it for the sake of the experience? Another take, is it that bad though if they did? It would be free marketing. Hopefully it would bring actual c
