I didn't like my stepfather, but his family did Christmas right. We'd all go to his parents' house, and it seemed like there were a hundred family members there. Incredible food, tamales, a big pot of beans and fresh corn tor

As a purchaser of hardware, I want full control over the stuff I own, including the right to modify firmware. But I'm also sympathetic to hardware manufacturers, especially in this day and age where information travels so fast. A hardw

A grounding in statistics shouldn't be needed to see that taking a scoop of mixed beads is likely to be mixed beads. A variant of Gell-Manning amnesia arises when real managers see this demonstration, go back to their real jobs, and th

I don't understand why OSI didn't pick an actually trademarkable term and license its use to projects that meet its ideals of open-sourceness. OSI knows it has no right to redefine common language and police its usage, any more th

Good to know. I haven't needed remote control support, so when I've flashed official WLED builds, I haven't noticed any issues.

If you're already using Home Assistant and WLED, this is a cinch. You could even write an automation that plays your home team's colors each night they win a game.

The most plug-and-play WLED-compatible controller I've found is made by athom.tech and available on AliExpress < https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101393719 >. There are two versions based on the ESP32C3. One

I'm with you in spirit, but I think the threat model they're trying to address is someone passing as you and needing only biometrics or a little personal information to succeed. Maybe your sibling looks enough like you, or someone

For perspective, the original Apple II computer typically had 48KB RAM, a 140KB floppy disk, and a 1MHz CPU. Yet it ran VisiCalc (the first popular spreadsheet program), Bank Street Writer (a marvelously easy-to-use word processor), and ple

The average car today lasts 12 years, or 200,000 miles, with 300,000 miles possible with luck and good maintenance. Modern EV batteries are designed to last longer than that. Moreover, EV battery capacity loss is nonlinear: most (I've

Note that most of the responses you're receiving, while accurate, are in terms of units of dried cubensis mushrooms, not pure psilocybin. A fresh cubensis mushroom weighs about one-tenth its original weight once it's fully dried,
