Work/worked for a place that was doing this. There's a couple problems: * More battery weight means less cargo weight * Trailers are dumb; the standard hookup (in NA) is lights and air. I hear CAN is common in EU though. * Trailer

Just a guess, but Nordic pushes a proprietary bluetooth stack. You don't have to use it, but it's the fastest way to get up and running. edit: not sure they use the proprietary stack... at the very least, it looks like they&#x27

Voltage spikes from line inductance, voltage drop-outs from line resistance. Basically you have little reservoirs of charge scattered all around the board (current flow isn't instantaneous in a real circuit). It helps to always think o

Coupling capacitor, not decoupling, right? You want the AC signal and want to block DC.

They present it in a way where it seems like you have to comply- "OK, now look into this camera and hold still". If you don't read the signs (and from what I saw, no one does...), you may not understand that it's optiona

Meh you don't need a PE to be an engineer. That's stretching the gatekeeping too far. PE is valuable for a lot of things, but not necessary for a lot of actual engineering work. Is a trained and working electrical engineer not an

I extend the pads out from underneath the chip. Then it's easily hand-solderable if needed.

My strategy is a deep cycle car battery and harbor freight inverter to run the blower motor. You get a long enough extension cord and you can use your car as an emergency generator.

I'll bite I guess. I use Calibre pretty regularly. I think a general way to put it is that it's not for "casuals". To understand a lot of the functionality outside of the basic inventory management stuff, you have to be

Truck manufacturers measure fuel efficiencies to the tenths and compete on that. At highway speeds, ICE engines win over a pure electric system, so throwing in another conversion step hurts. For city routes, pure electric is better than die

People don't like accepting them because 1. It feels like a huge denomination, and with that comes fear of mishandling and counterfeits, and 2. You have to then make change... and you only have so much of that And then on the customer&

Ethics is (often?) required in engineering curriculum, but it's mostly along the lines of "don't lie about work you didn't do then charge for it". There's nothing that touches on only using your powers for good

> We don't even own a tractor because it's not economically viable to take on the upfront or maintenance costs of modern tractors. This is a little bit ridiculous. A tractor is an invaluable tool and there's tons of them

I do this, mostly for the static IP that isn't linked directly to me and my approximate location, with mullvad exit only for 'sensitive' stuff. The degree of separation is nice even if the breadcrumbs are there. Best if the V

I took a look at my profile the other day and realized that I'd somehow inadvertently flagged a bunch of posts and comments. Guessing it was a UI thing, trying to hit 'context' instead of flag.

It's a paid service and all their competitors are 'free'. Enshittification doesn't fit their business model, they'd go under in a heartbeat.

Eh? Firefox vertical tab support is much better than Chromium's in my experience. The chrome addons I've seen are hacky and clunky. It doesn't seem like chrome UI has nearly the same modifiability as firefox. Edit: I use the

Yarp, I do the same. It's rudimentary but works fine and the code is clean enough if you pick a couple conventions (starting "private" variables with an underscore for example) and stick with them.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I don't know the specifics of shingle deterioration, but just having them physically shielded from light and precipitation has got to drastically improve their lifespan. That's a good point about only

Afaik shingle roofs (common in US) need replacing every 10-20 years.
