WiFi and LTE are too power intensive for a pet tracker in my opinion. Something like LoRaWAN would be ideal. In urban areas public LoRaWAN coverage already exists and where it doesn't the coverage of one gateway would likely be far gre

>but come high school it could be worse to have lower grades in more challenging courses, depending on how hard the GPA hit is. At least when I was in high school, the regular, pre-AP and the AP classes each had a different grade scale.

I agree with your driver assessment as someone who's used Zephyr quite a bit. If you're working with a new sensor, writing a new one is super straightforward. I don't have much experience picking sensor devices for embedded L

Not OP, but for me, it's the isolation. I wouldn't quite call it miserable unless I can't go out. I lasted only a few days into WFH for COVID before I went to live with my parents until I was forced back to the office. Just a

While this is highly unsurprising, I'm curious what information Twitter will have to provide in discovery. It seems Musk torpedoed the deal off the number of bots on the platform. It also appeared that Twitter didn't have a number

This sort of thing is so frustrating to me. They phish users with horribly made emails with no formatting, then they send the same sort of emails for legitimate things. They give security advice and then break their own security advice. Unl

Outside of mac magsafe chargers, I can't think of an Apple device without a <connector>-to-USB-x cable in the box.

The thing that gets me here is the "exclusive manufacturer". I don't see how that can ever be the case. You aren't required to use Apple's brick or cable (though they have to be certified).

X86 and by extension x64 is weird for reasons even beyond what he talks about. One weirdness I've hated is the layout of interrupt and segment descriptors. For interrupts the address is broken into a lower and upper half on either end

This came just in time. So far I'm super happy with it. One feature I think would be cool to have would be a check in/check out time for the first and last day. Other than that I really like it and will be super useful. Good luck!
