Well, it's not strange that he can't fit anything more in the device without taking something out. That's not evidence that there couldn't have been made room for something in the design stage though.

I remember once upon a time, about 20-ish years ago when Nokias where the thing to have. I had one of the smaller ones that came after 3110 (3210?) and was working extra as a bar-something one night. I had a big bucket that pour out deserte

Twice I've revived phones for others that fell (ha) for this unfortunate fate. Turn off immediately, disassemble as much as possible, rinse in clear water (tap for us, but it is not clorinated/flour), then dry in a bag of uncooked

The best hypothesis, IMHO from those I've read, to why Apple ditched the jack, was to get a share of the market for headphones - either through their own headphones (Apple-branded and Beats), or through MFI. In any case, now without th

This is in my opinion too weak of a signal to others. Such a deep invasion of user expectations and privacy should not be so easy to get away with, first time or not.

Pretty thin on details, apart on three advice. I like reading the upverter blog for this topic, they have some great articles on this (I have no affiliation).

Nice looking PCBA and assembly. I've been looking for small COTS circular screens for fun and it's actually quite hard, despite smart watch trends. I wonder what the Nest-branded ICs are.

Nest isn't compatible with heaters in my country, but I could see myself buying it just for having it as a wall clock with exchangeable watch faces. Really slick imo.

seeedstudio offers cheap 3d-printing, acrylic laser cutting too. Haven't tried them though, so can't judge on the quality, but they do have a good reputation, and it is cheap, so that might be worth a shot.

Love it, looking forward to the sequel that seems to keep the same look and feel. (awkward reply to "why is that?" though)

Don't be sad, there are plenty of opportunity still! And, there's much more easily found information and help :) A suggestion is to buy eg a MSP430 Launchpad ($10) or STM8 development board (<$1 on Aliexpress) and write simple

Beware that depending on what kind of trouble you might have, the update rate of that analyzer might be several orders of magnitude too slow. Interference is likely nowadays, with wifi in every apartment and everywhere, but one thing to con

The rather interesting TLDR could be "On September 3rd 1967 all non-essential traffic was banned from the roads between 1am and 6am; in Stockholm and Malmö the ban was in place from 10pm on September 2nd to 3pm the next day. At 4.45am,

meta-meta: reading my own comment above, I can see how it is actually quite similar to those auto-generated spambot-comments in format, I hope it doesn't say much about my inner self :S. Then again, that's just what a spambot woul

Perhaps GP is trying to say, that, in contrast to "just a blog", it's a blog with really good, technical content. This makes IMHO a great difference, since basically anyone can "just write a blog" with buzzwords bin

Do Comcast throttle torrents for you? Perhaps the traffic to rsync in some way looks like torrents to them. Or like spam/DOS or something like that. Or like a competitor. The things I've read about Comcast are not pretty, alas.

66 mn years is plenty of time to diversify a lot from a few, so you might be correct that "lots of species wouldn't have viable seeds". Perhaps they didn't, and just the (relative) few that did are the basis of what we h

Well, in >4 bn years there have been probably less than 5 such events. Catastrophic yes, but very low possibility. I can understand if any agency even the slightest related to space prioritizes other things. As far as my understanding go

Coin cells are common in marketing of microcontrollers and the like and as such is somewhat a mark of reference. There are also a good amount of devices (eg BLE beacon trackers) where AA or AAA would be too large. But if you can, use larger

While there "must" be two parties to this, the enabling party (Bosch) and the performing party (the others), the act of enabling the cheat must be what is considered the bad part here, at least from a law point of view. I'd c

(I do think that we should not trust whatever they would've produced as the full story though. As I learned in the military, the colloqial saying "Trust is good, control is better (as in checking the result)".)
