Useful robotics are heavy and use a lot of power.

Honestly, I could use a timer that pings me for diverse chores in and around the house. A fixed schedule is easy, but it could react to events and circumstances. Consolidate everyt…

Using PWM to dim lights should be banned wholesale. Many people, me included, get crazy headaches from the worst lights and mild discomfort from the best ones. It's also completely…

Over here, joggers are frequently wearing headlamps to illuminate their way. Often combined with a light on their back. They can see and can be seen, which is safe.

I got back to writing longer texts by mentally separating writing and editing. When writing, just write. Even when you think the paragraph could be better, keep on writing. Only st…
