I am interested in that, but my approach is more of a modchip on top of the existing board. It's not that difficult to intercept SPI and I2C in-circuit and thus enable IoT capability for legacy appliances.

Uber will adjust these bills. I once was driving for Uber or maybe Lyft and got trapped in the middle of San Francisco Bay Bridge because of police shooting ahead. My customers were stuck with me for several hours. Support adjusted their bi

The approach I am taking is background sync of all user-created data into git with automatic one-way replication not accessible through SMB. Git has plenty of tools to manage that and I simply automate all this without exposing the user to

An electronics tech can repair a random failed motor controller. That information should absolutely not be limited to just factory. When I fix cars, most of the time I have to fix broken wires and faulty ground. Occasionally, I have to fix

I have replaced fuel pumps. This involves a lot of work and often a specialty wrench. You will usually need to drop the fuel tank, which requires at a minimum raising the vehicle over 18" into air. The standard 14" jack/stand

The problem is that “mountain bike” means two things. To an MTB rider, it’s a vehicle optimized for mountain riding where the top priority is rider’s safety. To everyone else, it’s a category of vehicles capable of off-pavement riding on tr

Nothing. Windows has not fundamentally improved since Windows 7 for productivity. I use 10 but 7 was great. Well, Win 10’s virtual desktops are actually awesome. I see zero benefit in 11. It breaks my workflow without additional apps. I hav

It gets worse. This workaround is also in VBA, which has an enormous install base. Books on Excel programming explicitly call out this issue. This is one thing I definitely would not want fixed. You will break countless workflows that have

Microsoft Natural and its derivatives is an excellent ergonomic keyboard. Replacing QWERTY is simply hard. However, adjusting to a Kinesis Advantage also took me several weeks. Although the layout is the same, the keyboard is feels differen

Major chains predominantly run on Toshiba SurePOS 4960. That 4-digit number should give you a clue. It is, of course, a spinoff of an IBM monstrosity originating in 1980s. This thing is programmed in REXX and Java. Many files end in .286 Al

Interesting data. Rating rises sharply when you spend time studying the game and then remains mostly flat after reaching the next stage of mastery. If you play tricks, which catapults your ratings, you will eventually stabilize at a level w

Love it. I would say "Mask no kamen (2005)" was the inflection point. Prior to that, I watched a bunch of shows and enjoyed some of them, but then I randomly stumbled onto this masterpiece. It is so good that I was motivated to lo

Let's not forget "official poll" emails that aren't. I have no way of knowing if I am being polled or solicited. Hence, my voice is now excluded from political polls.

Very funny. On my car: remove 5x 19mm lugnuts, remove wheel, reinstall 2x lug nuts, remove 2x 21mm caliper assembly bolts, remove the caliper assembly, use a 4" C-clamp over the existing used inner brake pad to retract the caliper pist
