Certain PID values are bit-packed in non-obvious ways (like the tens digit is in one byte, ones in another, decimal in another) and units of measure are 'known' but might not be obvious. Publishing that information (which already

You may not be aware but there are a lot of proprietary PIDs on your OBD2 bus you can't interpret without specialized software - you can get like oil pressure and temperature, but not say, shift points or anything the manufacturer does

I'm sort of surprised that development is still on X86 instead of moving over to ARM, it looks like the only builds for ARM are for raspberry pi - I know about Asahi but I would have thought that these darwin-based projects would have

Messing with the zoo was a really bad idea - it is extremely popular, has higher attendance than professional sports in our market, and Nashville is full of celebrities who immediately hit their socials to condemn it. There is lots of land

Can confirm, setup a couple hundred watts as a hobby project during the pandemic and built a battery pack - the biggest challenge (other than matching connectors) is finding anything other than just "charging devices" that the thi

In Nashville they messed up by trying to build one next to the zoo, a beloved and popular attraction (higher attendance than our NFL franchise). The public outcry was swift and effective, new zoning rules were passed last night. https:&#x2

I have one of these and love it, especially after I once bricked it during a manual software update and got to use the dip switch reset to reflash it using the ROM. I wish it had more ethernet ports but I've managed to live with that.

I dropped Notepad++ after their last malware issue^. I miss it, but I'm not going back. I can't believe anyone would trust this. ^ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-up...

I bet there are some paranoid people out there who will love that no touch-ID means no way for law enforcement to compel you to unlock the device.

I agree - we're coming up on 20 years of the ribbon, it is too jarring to go back to the fixed toolbars and the vast majority of computer users have no experience with the "old way."

This isn't ideal but the book is still in print: https://www.amazon.com/CIA-World-Factbook-2025-2026/dp/15107... I couldn't find a PDF or archive of the site online (other than the obvious archive.org) b

My experience with Zotero was similar - I tried adding my ebook library to it as an alternative to Calibre because I really want to sort of categorize and easily reference my books and/or get like library call number groupings which is

In the years between the Synology and the Ugreen I've been running a mac mini from ebay which has slower copy speeds (i had to use drives connected via usb or thunderbolt) but has been very reliable and low-power.

I just got a Ugreen 2800 to replace a homemade NAS, I had a Synology for a few years but it got slower and slower as the software changed so I ditched it maybe 10 years ago? One of the things that sold me on the Ugreen was that it is basica

A kobo loaded with standard e-books ( https://standardebooks.org/ ) in the kobo format is glorious. I still have a paperwhite which is ok. My favorite device right now is a boox Go6, smallish, cheap, android. I don't use

It was convenient that they wanted to update terms of service right as they were implementing this. I was able to just decline the terms, delete the app, and I think that lets me off the hook with them. I'm much more invested in the no

Nashville, TN has electric buses with a fancy inductive charge port on top, allowing them to be fully charged in 5-10 minutes (they do it on a regular extended stop). An arm descends above the bus until the charging port is in place. I am c
