It's not the tracking info that breaks it, it's that when the receiving device tries to parse the long url and figure out what part is a link and what part is just text, winds up with a broken link. I'm not able to find an im

Have you recently tried to share a link with someone? There's so much tracking shit appended onto the end of the link that by the time they get it and whatever url parsing algorithm their device uses maims it, the url is no longer in t

Don't think the police were involved here? Regardless the [bad] police will never care and the good ones are likely mostly ignorant. It's the judges and DAs that need to learn. Even more so now with more carriers doing CGNAT (and

Wound up going to PNC. Since they bought Simple I'm hoping the features will trickle to their customers. What they have now is close enough for now. Similar but there are 3 "pockets" -- two checking and one savings. And they

I gave One Finance a try but found their rules and inflexibility incompatible. They don't have a 'joint account' option but claim you can share a pocket with someone else and it works the same. Except when you have an instrum

The issue with an alarm only when something is wrong, is that you don't know that your monitoring system is working until you actually get that notification. You could just check the system every day and avoid the 'heartbeat'

Based on what was wrote I don't think that's the case. He included some special conditions like: >The monitor knows if I take the boat out when I turn on the main boat power and switches the small pump to auto and otherwise sto

Very nice work overall, and I admit I haven't read the entire project, but it seems the entire authority to operate both pumps has been delegated to a microcontroller that becomes a single point of failure for the entire system. Give

Something always leaks. If anything just the packings around the propeller shafts (though since this is a sailboat it may not have propeller shafts). And there is maintenance. Even if you seal up all of the leaks, something will always degr

Mikrotik has a great feature set and is mostly stable for the mainstream features. Where they really fall apart is wifi throughput. Most devices won't top 400mb/s. There is some hope on the horizon with v7 and the newest devices l

This is one of the biggest problems I have seen with attempted real-world deployments of wifi-based mesh systems. Another issue is the half-duplex, CSMA nature of Wifi. It all but guarantees high amounts of jitter and latency instability. P

Particularly when said battery is not accustomed and likely not even designed for such high power loads. This battery would be only used for vehicle accessories, electronics, etc... Not even as a "cranking" battery as would be the

This is not new. You'd encounter the same thing from any other car dealer if you brought your vehicle in for a charging system problem and they discover you've been pulling 100+ amps continuously(1200 watts at 12 volts = 100amps)

This is standard in EVs(and most plug-in hybrids). My 17 Volt has a 175 amp DC-DC converter that charges the 12v battery from the traction battery. It's interesting that this converter is cooled via the same liquid cooling loop that co

So everyone says the helicopter would be the first powered flight on another planet. Wouldn't the Skycrane be considered powered flight?

by sathackr 6y ago
Based on available renderings for both skycranes[1][2], the motors do not appear to have any gimble ability, so must be controlled by thrust alone. It's interesting that the valves consume 168 watts of power each, 1.34kw of power just

This is true -- most vendors supply a calculator tool that attempts to take this into consideration. Over the past 10yrs or so I've found them to be generally accurate, but have noticed a significant deviation in late 2019-2020 from ex
