A lot of people doubted this could work. After all, railway tracks are a dusty, hot environment with tons of vibrations that could cause microcracks. I was in the doubter team too, but if this really worked out, that's great news. Cong

Latency doesn't matter for music and Fiio supports both LDAC and aptX. Keeping the battery charged is a weak point though, agreed.

An alternative to a wired dongle is a high-quality bluetooth amp, e.g. from Fiio. It's reliable, keeps your phone free from cables, but you can keep using your high quality wired headphones.

Fair, this may be a legal option for ordering alcohol. I really don't see the pure cryptographic hash "is older than 18y" as a big privacy issue though, as long as it is properly salted, does not provide other information on

Quite a few actually do require ID-scan-through-email (which is horrible). Or, they simply delegate to a third party video ident service, often in another country (because cheaper). How exactly is the status quo not much worse than "I

Companies can already request and will still be able to request a PDF scan of your ID. Or worse, video ident through a private third party. This is the status quo for ordering alcohol online, or if you want to open a bank account. The new E

This is interesting. How did you measure the caffeine content in the capsule? Also, I assume that is the total amount of caffeine present in the capsule, and not the caffeine dissolved in a cup of coffee (since that would depend on the amou

Downside: Sometimes laws can be delayed for 1+ years due to a referendum. The political process is slower and big reforms are much harder. Upside: Lawmakers need to write balanced laws or they face threats of referendum signature collection

Many people in Switzerland love to buy used cars with cash, even if they cost a few thousands. (But we can also just scan the QR code of the recipient's bank account with the e-banking app and initiate a transfer that way.)

The main thing that changed "recently" is that NIST standardized ML-KEM (aka Kyber) for post-quantum cryptography, which was important for implementors. However, ML-KEM is still quite new, so it is mostly used in hybrid schemes wi

I can't confirm that. Rust's safety features allow moving fast without fear of subtle bugs. Developing in Rust can feel like fighting the compiler though when choosing approaches / architecture that aren't a good fit for

For Zigbee, I can recommend using the Zigbee2MQTT ( https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/ ) integration instead of HomeAssistant's built-in ZHA system. It might be a bit more complex to set up, but it's very powerful and work

I use Fastmail for 5+ years now. Initially I feared that the experience would be worse than Gmail (with regards to the Web UI, to spam filtering, etc). It is not. It really is much better!

There is e-mail, and there is Gmail. (By the way, there are a lot of great e-mail providers other than Google. Often even with a web UI superior to the one by Gmail.)
