Different cycles take different amounts of time. Personally, I have a notification when it starts and a notification when it ends. The "x minutes ago" on the when it started is really useful and generally enough to know when the c

I don't think the problem is specifically mice, but disease models. Some of the hardest diseases to study mice don't naturally (or commonly) get so it has to be induced in some way.

Curious if there are any split keyboards with "overlap", eg, the center of the keyboard is duplicated on both sides

Right, but I appreciated easy access to a news feed.

Just to play both sides here, on pixel there is a news feed if you swipe the home screen right. It is now infused with ai summaries rather than the first few lines of the story with no way to go back. Course, I can switch to a different lau

Elon is talking about a million satellite constellation and launching a rocket capable of putting 100 tons into orbit every hour.

Good news, we have big plans to send significant quantities of copper and aluminum into orbit with zero possibility of recovery.

Home assistant has pretty good BLE capabilities. But honestly, as has already been pointed out wifi is already really cheap.

Yes, this project screams for some kind of sensor to detect when the hands reach some known position.

Very much "that's not who we are! ... Checks history book, oh, oh ,oh my". Much more apt to say "that's not who we aspire to be'

Hopefully next we can help fix mercury in fish, the number one contributor right now is burning coal. Seems like it would be a easy decision.

I have 31 AWG wire. I wouldn't use anything else for PCB rework. Bends so easily, no stripping necessary, and the roll will never run out.

I have a mix of eneloops and Amazon Basics, they seem pretty equivalent

We print money, send it around the world, and the world sends us goods. It was a great thing.

I mean, their escape was quite complex and did actually "work", it's just they didn't get very far beyond that. Any dramatization would clearly need some comedic element

One of favorite escapes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Papago_Escape They built boats to sail down the Salt River, to the Colorado River, and to Mexico. Of course the salt river is almost always just a dry river

For many products it just means it's a small run from a group that may not have a lot of domain experience using materials and methods that will make the end product appear superior to buyers.

If you buy a consumer product labeled "military grade" you are buying snake oil. And not just snake oil, incredibly over priced snake oil.

Look, we could spend a fraction of what we do, but then there would be people who get things for free or even fraudulently. You can see just how bad that would be from an American mindset.

Anything with money amounts, my next question is how much money were we previously spending on that thing.

It's crazy that it's been almost 20 years since I played a large amount of quake/quake 2/q3a, but I can instantly recognize the architecture of the levels that are re-skinned. The original map development was incredibly

Here it might fail. If you were sufficiently motivated and controlled the software stacks on the rpi's you may be able to get data to flow in the other direction. LEDs have their voltage modulated by light. And it's possible that

It's gotten worse and yet more bland. The top few comments are almost always AI generated engagement farming posts.

Devil's advocate. There could be a extension for ipv4 stacks. Ipv4 stacks would need to be modified to include the extension in any reply to a packet received with one. It would also be a dns modification to append the extension if is
