As a kid I visited the cockpit and was invited to sit in the jump seat of an Airbus 320 landing in Rome a day before 9/11. One of my favourite childhood memories.

We just bought a Mi Robot to replace our Roomba 630. It’s half the price, actually maps my house, doesn’t bump into stuff, has better fault-recovery, scheduling built-in, and is just generally a real pleasure to run.

At our (NZ) BP pumps we drive up, open the “BPMe” app, choose our pump number, enter a 4-digit PIN, fill up, replace the nozzle and drive off. Another retailer (Z Energy) has a new “Fastlane” service where you drive up, fill up, then drive

Correct; usually the installer instructions will say to wire the hardware so it disables the starter motor. This means that the engine won’t stop, but rather be prevented from starting. Some of the cheaper (AliExpress) hardware installation

At some point someone at SIA would have thought about covering up the cameras (surely?), I imagine it would have been: 1. Accept the OEM design (cameras uncovered) but possibly have to deal with people not liking a camera shoved in their fa

Noticed these on an Emirates A380 recently. Cameras in the ceiling at the front of each seating section.

I wonder if Singapore Airlines has something new to say about the cameras in their IFE system? https://twitter.com/vkamluk/status/1097008518685573120

Actually, I think I actually wrote this story just so I could try out the "new" (months-old?) threading feature. I don't much twitter.

I'm sorry. This is the first time I've used a thread. I won't do it again!

I wasn't looking forward to running cable for sensors (I need two reed switches per door, as the doors can stop half-open). The D1s are at the back of the garage, so maybe 8m of cable per switch and two doors = 30-ish metres of cable?

Heh. I think I did worse ... made a local copy of the repo, nuked it on GitHub, then re-created the three commits by hand ... less credentials. That looks like a much more useful tool, though.

Correct. Site now has a form and a button. /toggle now responds only to POSTs, and redirects back to /.

Thanks! I'm not sure how easy it would be to put the git hook on all my machines though? I have a collection of laptops (and one desktop) that I work on and I often don't use the same machine for a few weeks :-/ I ended up us

Thanks. Not the address with the WiFi garage thankfully. I was actually thinking "better not commit that" ... before, y'know, I committed it :/

Yeah, did wonder about that. My thinking at the time was that the device was on the local WiFi network, not exposed to the internet, and there would be easier ways of getting into the garage if you really wanted to.

Fixed now: https://github.com/wpearse/wemos-d1-garage-door-wifi/commit/... I think. edit: updated link because left creds in the commit :-/

Hey! I've been thinking about this all day. I thought it was a GET to fetch the title of the page, but it might only be an OPTIONS or HEAD request? I'm not sure. Either way, my code activates the garage door on that endpoint no ma

Hello! Long-time lurker, and guilty dev behind the garage door. You can see the (broken) code I wrote here: https://github.com/wpearse/wemos-d1-garage-door-wifi I'll get around to fixing it later this week. Also,
