I would guess there is photocell next to the LED and comparing the amount of light to the ambient light the cameras get. They might also be doing something clever and using the LED itself as a photo diode.

It's a bit of a mishmash of things I might find useful in the future, and silly/mostly useless personal projects. :)
Edit: Here https://github.com/dekuNukem/bob_cassette_rewinder/blob/mast... you can see the white and red wires coming from the USB connector labelled as SDA and SCL.
Pretty clever!
The print quality is quite good, it comes with an insane amount of ink, and you literally buy full replacement bottles of ink and pour them in the tanks.
No artificial page limits, no checks for non-oem ink.

I’d say the shift to more unlimited offerings happened about 5 years ago.
Having spent a few weeks on the phone (from a Samsung S7 before), the biggest difference I feel is that the iPhone is no longer nagging me to interact with it the same way my old one did. No blinking notification light, no Samsung pestering me to accept some changes to their terms and conditions etc.
I have the exact same headset (Jabra Evolve 75) at work and have had no issues at all using it on my 2018 MacBook Pro.
I use it daily for Slack and other VoIP calls as well as to listen to music. I usually have it paired to my phone as well, but it works just as well connected solely to the Mac.
That said, I did have an issue once with it when trying to play a game on Steam. I couldn't hear the in-game audio, only other players speaking.
It's still a little bare, but I'm hoping to add more detail as I can. Feedback is also very much appreciated!
The short version of the workflow is: FlatCAM to convert gerbers to gcode then CNCjs on an orange pi zero to stream the gcode to the CNC.
Hopefully I'll have something initial up this weekend, i'll post the link here when I do.
I still order boards from China, but for a quick breakout board it's incredibly handy!
I also decided to get a 5W laser which is also pretty fun to engrave with.
I'm planning on writing a series of blog posts about it if you're interested!
As a last note, if you like tinkering, these little machines are money and time sinks.. So far, I've added limit switches, a pi, more bits, 3D printed a tool holder etc etc
> What you wish you'd known before getting into JavaScript?
1. Start with plain JS. Before jumping picking and learning frameworks, helper libraries (like lodash) make sure you understand what the language in it's current form can do.
2. Make sure your resources are current. Like @flaviocopes says, JavaScript has changed a lot since 2015. If something seems ugly or messy check to see if a cleaner syntax has been introduced in ES6+
3. Pick a style and stick with it. JS is quite flexible in its syntax, I'd recommend using a linter from the beginning. I personally enjoy using Standard, but anything that is widely adopted will do.

To add insult to injury, if you do try to make complex and slightly varying queries and exhaust its result pages in an effort to find something you know exists, very often it will think you're a robot and present you with a CAPTCHA, or just ban you completely (solving the CAPTCHA just gives you another, and no matter how many you solve it keeps refusing to search; but they probably benefit from all the AI help you just gave them, what bastards...) for a few hours.
Edit: I wonder if Google is using this as a sort of income source for pages that bring little to no ad revenue.
