We have a Thermomix TM31 which I repaired a few weeks ago. On the control board I found an IR module and a LED beside that which both are visible from outside (left side of the display), but are not labled. Until now I couldn't find any documentation or information about this IR interface. It would be nice if someone will reverse engineer this. And maybe also an integration into the BSH-App. Then you could remotely start the cooking process when leaving the office... :-)

Thanks, I mistyped. I meant 250 ml.

"Also, depending on the ingredient, it makes more sense to use cups as a measurement of volume, not mass, when converting to metric."

Hmmm... What kind of cup? :-)

US "legal" cup (240ml)

US customary cup (246,6ml)

metric cup (250ml)

UK cup (170,5ml)

edit: fixed typo 150ml -> 250ml

No! It's not bizarre.

Scroll down to the footer--> click on "Homepage"

Then you will get to his homepage: https://www.brocas.org/

I wish restaurants would just make a homepage with menu _and_ opening hours.

In my area most restaurants have no website.

If they have a website it's often very hard to find their opening hours. Under 'contact'? Nope! At the footer? Nay! Maybe somewhere hidden in the menu PDF? With luck... Outside their homepage at google maps? Maybe. On their Tripadvisor page? Hahaha! Funny! Not.

The product was made by people. Or by AI which was made and controlled by people.

Only if everybody is closing the door. If I use a hotel room alone, I never close the bathroom door.

Very good post, thank you!

Partially OT:

Can anyone recommend a "print PDF to Laserprinter" library?

I have been looking for a library for C# for some time now that would allow me to print PDF files on a laser printer programmatically. However, I cannot find one. Until now, I have been using Foxit Reader, which I call up via the command line. But this is not ideal for various reasons.

No

Thank you!

Will it be possible to document private repositories? And how can we prevent Google from using the code to train its AI?

Does anyone know of any trustworthy, usable alternatives? Perhaps even ones that run 100% on-premises?

What if this service has a bug and sends all messages even if you are going well?

Oh, I built something similar with Homematic. When one of our mousetraps closes, I immediately get a message via my Pushover app.

About 15 years ago we had our first chickens. Due to space and time constraints, we did not build a new chicken house, but bought an old children's playhouse on stilts. The chickens should get an automatic chicken flap. But unfortunately, at that time all purchasable automatic chicken flaps worked on the principle of a winch and the flap had to go up vertically. With our chicken house, however, only a horizontally opening flap would have worked. So I built an automatic chicken flap from parts of an old inkjet printer, two limit switches and an Arduino. It has worked flawlessly for many years. Another advantage was: my control opened in the morning at 8 o'clock and closed in the evening depending on the calculated sunset (+ 30 min). Such ingenious control I have not seen in any automatic chicken flap until today. All automatic chicken flaps that can be purchased in Germany today work either with a timer or with a brightness sensor. And then either in the morning and evening only by time or brightness as trigger. Time combined with brightness can none. And the brightness sensors usually have the disadvantage that the flap opens if you shine at night longer than 1 min on the sensor, for example with the flashlight, if you work something next to the chicken house.

That's because Apple knows what's good for you.

I get 403 - Forbidden

Windows. I used Mac OS X a few years. But in my opinion Mac OS X is (or was, back in this time) PITA. Switching back to Windows has definitively saved me hundreds of hours!

There are many musicians who "build" music in live concerts with modular synthesizers (in newer times mostly with Eurorack modules). Since many decades! Without computers. With some experience they know how to handle their tools. And with some experience a good live coder can do the same with his computer too.

Because using one mail adress per service with catch-all would not work.

Wrong. Better: "NASA/DLRs Sofia Discovers Water on Sunlit Surface of Moon"

Telescope and some of the instruments are powered by German engineering! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_Observatory_for_...

Greetings from Germany ;-)

This mentioned product is marked as "GC108P — Insight Managed 8-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Cloud Switch with FlexPoE Power".

So, what is the problem? You got, what you payed for. ;-)

If you want to have a product with local management, then buy another one without "Insight" capabilities, e.g. one of the "Standalone Smart managed Pro" line:

https://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/smart/sta...

We buy the same type of switches (and some larger/faster ones) from Netgear since a few years.

The problem is: The old version (v2) is locally managed only, whereas the new version (v3) is with cloud management:

https://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/smart/GS1...

https://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/smart/GS1...

Maybe you looked into the datasheet of the old v2? And then got delivered the new v3?

We stumbled over the same problem a few month ago, after buying a bunch of these in the new version. I thought: Newer is better... But apparently not so with Netgear products. :-(

Very confusing, what Netgear does with their product naming!
