I use prusaslicer and uvtools with my Elegoo Saturn. No proprietary lockin. I also own a Prusa, so I don't feel bad using their software with another brand.

The extra 30 minutes will be spent chatting with the AI as if it's your best friend.

Abstractions are one thing, not putting any effort into learning is another. People worry about the latter.

Surely I must have seen someone do this already on Slashdot like 25 years ago. Cheers for using a recent kernel though, that's neat.

Sounds like a good usecase for WebNFC.

You probably don't need any Web hardware API for that, just WebRTC.

Having WebUSB and WebBle everywhere would allow me to ship my IoT application via web only. That would be a win for my productivity, no more messing about with app store shenanigans.

Are you really asking this? For real?

You're shooting the messenger.

Low cost ARM M series microcontrollers are ubiquitous, and they're all immensely more powerful than the lunar lander computer.

Tribes 3: Rivals is a load of fun. Flying around on jetpacks helps raise the skill ceiling.

I distinctly remember how it was the bare minimum. You'd mount a disk or open a plain text file, and there'd be a lot of strange characters that weren't decoded properly.

Professional embedded developer and Arduino afficionado here: the amount of misinformation and hot takes here is astounding. First, Arduino is aimed at making technology usable for non-engineers. The ease of use makea them a breeze for engineers though. There's nothing wrong with making something serious with Arduino as long as the project fits within the confines of Arduino.

Arduino refers to a company as well as a hardware and software platform. It doesn't only mean an ATMega based board. You can have an ESP32 based Arduino board.

Arduino boards aren't designed for high performance or very high speed signal integrity.They are designed to be easy to use by non technical people.

I see people saying stuff like the ESP IDF and FreeRTOS are easy enough to use for most people. First, Arduino on ESP32 is built on the FreeRTOS based IDF, so people who would rather use FreeRTOS don't exactly know what they are talking about. Second, anyone who thinks FreeRTOS is easy enough to use for Arduino's core audience is delulu.

Use the proper tool for the job. Arduino is for beginners, non-technical people, and for projects with undemanding requirements. Stop pretending that it's a half baked solution for engineers; that completely misses the point of Arduino.

How is asking for user consent insufficient? I smell Apple propaganda.

Sweet, WebBLE and WebUSB on iOS let's go.

I've taken a few graduate courses at Stanford MS&E through their non degree program, and I give the experience three thumbs up.

He tweeted every step of the way though the airport. The tweet timestamps do not match with his tall tale.

When asked about it in several interviews recently, he claims he doesn't remember the details too well, conveniently.

Besides, he's a well known liar and grifter who caters to the low information voters of the left.

Hasan's story is totally fabricated, so that's a bad example.

Destiny fan?

Under parts selection.. Even considering the PIC 16F. Why.

This seems to come up in every discussion of quantum entanglement.

It doesn't travel faster than the speed of light. Information can't travel faster than c.

No need to worry about Trisolarans.

If this is the lesson where you're introducing pointers to students, you're probably doing them a disservice. Reminds me of my engineering professors who were bored with the material, so they dove straight into difficult problems.

Just putting it out there for people who care about the quality of information they consume.

Johnny Harris makes well produced videos that contain a lot of old information and misinformation. If any of his videos cover a topic you're an expert in, you'll see immediately.

I made a hearing aid app for the iPhone nearly 10 years ago. It was nearly impossible to get anybody to pay $10 or less for it.Also, there is/was a FDA exception for mobile apps, which kind of obviated the need for the grad school class i was taking at Stanford about getting medical devices FDA approved.

Chamberlain devices do this. Genie devices do not.

I paid for the futo keyboard, and it has been mostly fine so far. My only gripe is that there isn't a chinese input method yet.

You've bought into the propaganda. China orchestrated a massive disinformation campaign to deflect responsibility. They played the race card when flights to China were stopped. This all worked masterfully on left leaning people who know a lot less than they think.

Science is about discovering consensus? Wtf is this garbage.

I'm an avid China watcher, and the propaganda there started almost immediately, even before Wuhan was locked down. There were already stories being bandied about accusing the US Army of spreading a bioweapon in Wuhan etc etc.

The most surprising IR controlled device I've seen lately is a butt plug.

Avoiding FCC testing for the win.

Assemblies with a lot of screws require manual labor, thereby increasing cost. I think what you actually mean is stuff that is specifically designed not to be serviced by being held together with glue, etc.

I don't think you've been paying attention then. It's already happening.

-For example, try saying something critical about China or something in defense of Taiwan. If the post gains traction, your account will get banned.

-Observe the amplification of r/latestatecapitalism type of content. https://www.businessinsider.com/capitalism-tiktok-america-pr...

-Whitewashing of life in China and China's accomplishments. https://apnews.com/article/china-tiktok-facebook-influencers...

I often see people online extol the virtues of China's progress, it's technological advancement, it's focus on the climate and equality for people, etc. I say this as someone who has lived in China, and I even like China, but people buy into the bullshit. China isn't some utopia. There are many good things about it, but there are a multitude of odious aspects that get glossed over.

This is about sowing dissent and creating doubt in our values.

I don't think you have any business making so many comments in this thread when you have no idea what is going on.
