I used to use the PineTime with PineTimeOS, but mine eventually broke (corroded inside), but not having WiFi made it annoying to develop for. With WiFi suddenly you don't need to communicate regularly with a phone and the possibilities

I don't know how this can be legal at all, the liabilities are against the company and not the owners - and nothing changed about the company. When they purchased the company, it's name/trademark, the customer base, software,

Not insanely for a smart watch. Your smart watch battery will be something like 200mAh, so for 20 hours you need to average 10mAh. With zero optimisation, screen refresh rate at 30+fps, I have smart watch chewing 30mAh. Getting down to 10mA

The "high-end" modern MCUs are pretty great, you have the NRF offerings, but also the likes of the ESP32 where you can get Bluetooth and WiFi in a single package. Personally these days I would lean towards the ESP32, they continue

Thank you for sharing. My parrot is very particular about food, but will try most things. He likes his sweetcorn cooked, peas cooked, carrot uncooked, etc. He also drops dog food down to the dogs and watches the dogs eating it, and then lik

Not sure, but it is difficult to imagine where these new sounds are coming from. I have never heard another bird quite like some of the sounds, one particularly clear one sounds like "eel" but it's as clear as a human would p

Yeah pretty much, they are either just doing their own thing or they are fully engaged with destruction and chaos. You can kind of tell what mood they are in if you spend the time to read them.

If he starts behaving like this we push him off and he flies away. He communicates his boundaries quite clearly by opening his beak (a warning before a peck), and we communicate ours by pushing him away. I should say that he generally behav

Unfortunately he is isolated from his species (they are quite rare and endangered - we look out all the time for a female for him), but he flies a lot and socialises with other hook beak birds. > If the comment would be about the parrot

I meant "smoking gun" from a cyber security perspective, i.e. the conclusion or the final part of the investigation. "magic bullet" would also work here too though.

I think my bird already has a difficult time focussing, he acts like he has ADHD. He'll happily sit their doom scrolling watching birds. The other concern is that when he gets too much screen time he becomes less interested in us and s

You might think so, but in reality, what happens is people say this publicly and then try to befriend the bully privately to get favourable treatment. I'm not saying that it's right, it's just an observation.
