My issue is that a large share of what he tests are Amazon products with alphabet soup brand names, where QA is likely nonexistent and the conclusions are often based on a sample size of N=1. Even if you wanted to buy the "winner"

The last time I worked with them there also was basically no way to render them into any other format easily, and all the available tools I found basically just launched a Chromium instance to copy each frame, messing up transparency in the

Even with AOT compilation, as someone who loves C# and also does embedded development in C I would personally say a garbage collected language like C# has no place there.

Every time it has happened to me the airline paid out quickly without any fuss. Once with KLM the plane broke over Siberia, they flew back and put me on a flight the next day. I got my 600 eur compensation and also the cost of two train tic

What happens when software is at 0%, your slider is at 100% and you want to raise the volume?

That doesn't seem unusual to me, given that to get to this page you either have to be searching for the specific terms already (and know what they are) or come from the homepage -> RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico) projects -> Custom se

That link ( https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain ) just times out for me, might be yet another American site that just geoblocks all European IP addresses. Here's an archive copy for those who need it: http

My ISP gives me both an IPv4 address and a heap of IPv6, most browsers will use what is called Happy Eyeballs to try both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time and use the one that connects the fastest.

At least in Europe I've seen plenty of thermostats/boilers that support OpenTherm which allows the thermostat to set the boiler temperature instead of only switching on/off

They are if you have anything else that needs to be done at the same time. I would say they're fine if you have nothing else to do while waiting, or you need microsecond delays to generate a signal like in this case.

You can get randomly selected upon checkout where they will sample a few items from your bag, and if it finds a discrepancy they will rescan every item you have. These hand held scanners have been a thing for over 10 years, way before the c

At least for the lighting related concern, I personally use both Zigbee bulbs and switches. These can be bound together so the switch will directly tell the bulb to turn off/on without intervention of anything else. This results in a f

USB defaults to 5V, so depending on how much current you want to draw you might not even need a trigger module.

I'm on the regular stable Chrome build and was explicitly asked on several devices over the last few months if I wanted to enable memory saver or not, it wasn't automatic for me at least.

Missed this comment when asking why you didn't add a $2 RTC, but given that you mention Adafruit I assume making your own hardware to stick onto a Pi wasn't an option? The DS3231 you mention is a chip with mainline support since 2

If you were already going through all that effort, what was the reason behind not just adding a $2 RTC to the i2c header of each Pi?

I pulled up the actual USB power delivery standard[1] USB_PD_R3_1 V1.8 2023-04.pdf, and 5V 5A is perfectly compliant, albeit optional. On page 805 you find Table 10-2 SPR Normative Voltages and Minimum Currents, which specifies that a USB P

Software controllable USB ports already are a thing, Per-port power switching can be found in the USB 2.0 spec and there's a bunch of hubs out there that implement it, controllable via USB instead of I2C. Since USB 3.2 any device that

The problem is that there are more parties than you, your DNS server (the cab driver) and your destination (the website). The cab driver might have to ask a number of other people how to get to the destination. Your DNS server probably does

It's not just about the server you're connecting to knowing your IP, that's a given. With ECS every recursive DNS server in the chain also knows which site you want to visit

If you're using a Pi-hole for your DNS (or anything else using dnsmasq I suppose), I worked around the issue by creating /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-archive.is.conf (with a Docker bind mount in my case) with the following content:
