Alternative way to see it: The author had either a $50 solution, or a $50 solution that comes with a discounted hotair rework station for $150… I learned it from Superfastmatt. He needed a piece of plastic that retails for $1500 for his van

A couple of years ago, I lived in an apartment and made a doorbell repurposed from an Amazon Dash button. Basically I have a daemon that sends a message each time a button press is detected to my homebrew mqtt server. Then I have a bash scr

The Chumby with its wiki and open hardware/software philosophy was so ahead of its time and so influential to me. I started my whole career with hacking the Chumby’s user space [1]. The Chumby inspired and took me from an IT worker in

For banks that insist on doing SMS-based 2FA, I use a less well-known Google Voice number that only I know and don't give to my normal contacts. That number does nothing other than to receive 2FA codes, doesn't forward its message

Lol, they botched the first example - that it translates “Our goal is to create a more connected world” to Vietnamese: It has a glancing typo at the end of the sentence “hơn” instead of “hơ.” Also it really messed up the pronounciation: It

A quick glance to the history of the article, I see it was edited by multiple usernames and IP address at different times. How did you come to the conclusion that it was self authored?

Perhaps because it's not easy to do so? Now you have to have a database of a million phones from Shenzhen that you need to keep track of whether it has your bands. Who's gonna pay for their QA and know what phone manufacturers are

FYI: If anyone looking for a label printer, get a Rollo and a Pi. I sell stuff on Ebay from time to time, and one of my pet peeves is not having labels professionally printed and having to tape them. After researching stuff I decided to ski

I figure it wouldn't be wise for a person who stays in a cheap motel to rent an expensive car regardless whether they could charge the car there.

Being off-the-shelf is an added bonus, but not a requirement. This website is called Hacker news, not Bestbuy news. As long as someone else can replicate the results from what is given in the post, I do think the post has enough merit.

Let's just say the government is super evil and they covered up 99 deaths every 100 deaths for some reason, although we have no evidence that they did. They lost 50,000 people. The US lost half a million. Are you happy now?

Thanks for the suggestions. I know this implementation has more holes than a swiss cheese, but I will try to plug them as I figure out how to deal with js callbacks :)

I read the M5paper Factory Test app [1] and it has tons of interesting details. m5stack has several other example applications in their repo, but I learned a lot from reading their source code in the test app. Their code is quite sane and o
