Covid aside, a reading of almost 6000 ppm in the bus is extremely high, at this level there is a clear impact on cognitive function. See this study[1] in Nature that measured the effects of CO2 at 1000, 3000, and 5000 PPM. Quote: "For

Some of these leaks are enormous. In the past few years one in particular made the news, at the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility managed by SoCal Gas[1]. It was the worst single natural gas leak for the U.S. in recorded history, with an es

This is very useful to see examples of how people have used APIs that are either poorly documented or not at all. Or even that are well documented, really. Going from docs to code is not always straightforward. To give you just one example,

I would hope that Instagram has some counter-measures to prevent brute-forcing, at least restricting the number of failed login attempts. It might be instead that your friends re-used a password that was leaked/stolen from somewhere el

Is it very difficult? So many of these spam accounts follow the exact same format, with names following some variation of "Free stuff Telegram: +1234…" or "s3xY p1cs c0mE 2 mY chAnNeL", etc. Tons of them post these obv

CircuitPython is a fork of MicroPython, and they periodically bring in commits from MicroPython to stay up to date. One advantage of CircuitPython is that your board gets mounted as a volume like a USB drive, and you can just copy code.py o

As others have mentioned, you don't always need the full performance of these microcontrollers, and many are pretty powerful to start with. An ESP32-S3 has two cores running at 240 MHz, and boards that ship with 8 MB of RAM and 16 MB o
