    Is the VC funding part important or just the lots of money part? I've got the impression that VCs aren't really interested in hardware so it's governments that have to step in and …

    I’d love to see some more information about these fairs if you have a link. My wife likes watching a lot of British YouTubers in Japan and it’s made me want to see more about how t…

    Does the Japanese government pay for or in some way support articles like this? Do people in Japan get articles about how amazing coppicing is in the UK? Articles like this about J…

    I got a new laptop recently and decided to give pop a go. So far I am very happy. I think if you want something like Ubuntu but not Ubuntu then Pop is a good choice.

    I think this depends a lot on the time scales you are looking at. COVID isn’t going to go anywhere once the pandemic is declared over. The chance of you getting it at some point is…

    That sounds like an awful experience and I’m sorry your wife had to go through that. I just wanted to add that when my wife gave birth in the UK on the NHS last year she had an ama…

    Just to clarify yocto is not a distro but a project that allows you to create your own custom distro. Two yocto builds could be completely different from one another even using dif…

    I think a hybrid model would be my ideal setup. Something like flextime core hours but extended to days of the week.

    Huh I guess I assumed that was only for businesses and not personal use. Thanks I'll take a look!

    I would be happy to pay Google a monthly fee for all their services. Mainly just so I feel like a customer instead of a product and to give me the peace of mind that if something g…

    I always feel like I have to point out that something like 80% of soya world wide goes to animal feed(I think the oil may be extracted first as well).

    Huh this reminds me of the TacTip from the Bristol Robotics Lab. I'm guessing the sensor works in a pretty similar way. Oh it seems there are some instructions on how to build one …

    I think arduino is a good place to start. If you want something slightly different I like the teensy which is arduino compatible and can plug into a breadboard. I'd pick up a basic…
