Just in case it helps anyone else, tio ( https://github.com/tio/tio ) is a great featureful alternative to picocom.

I don't think your assessment of the DJI Mini thing is very fair. Sounds like they would be more than happy to accept a pull request and indeed there is an open one the maintainers…

Great project! If you want a hardware upgrade it's actually reasonably inexpensive to build something direct drive (which is how the real sub-30kg ones work). This gives you many a…

Presumably also open circuit not rebreather given this was mid 90s. It's a pity the article doesn't detail their dive plan, the gas quantities must have been staggering. Nowadays t…

Luckily it's supported by Valetudo so it can go back to work. https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html#i...

This might be a US/EU difference. It's pretty popular in the EU still, although some of the market has been taken by various Simulink to C tools. Every Rolls-Royce gas turbine FADE…

Garmin do one called Varia

RevK's blog has a lot of interesting posts on it. https://www.revk.uk/ He also runs an excellent ISP in the UK called AAISP which I can highly recommend ( https://www.aa.net.uk ) A…

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience but I don't agree, I prefer it to the ST, TI and definitely the Microchip tooling. It's CLI first, like the Espressif and Pico tooling which i…

The TinyCurrent or uCurrent can be used for this as well when paired with a scope with scpi. However, the ranges aren't dynamic which is annoying if you're using something a WiFi p…

They also made a manual expresso machine, although I don't know if they continued production after the initial kickstarter run. https://www.chronova-engineering.co.uk/epoch

In the New Forest national park in the UK (where there are about 5000 free roaming ponies) they've been fitting them with reflective/hi-viz collars for years. Makes them much easie…

It's obviously way too late now but esphome is a very nice easy mode solution for the whole remote upload/logging/server/mqtt/iot widget thing if you don't want to drag in esp-idf.…

If it's a 13, there's a couple linked from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Framework_Laptop_13_(AMD_Ry... I use the "cab404" one and very impressed with it.

Better if you need to send it to Mars and fly it there, otherwise yes which is why these designs aren't particularly widespread.

They can't patent the coaxial helicopter UAV bit because there's a huge amount of prior art.

Contraction of donkey's years, a common en-GB idiom for a long time. Good reference though!

Definitely not a new form factor, this has been around for donkeys. I've personally seen them for at least 20 years at various industry shows. This is presumably a totally uncritic…

Have both, the Pine Time hardware is impressive for the price and props to the creators of the various available operating systems that are surprisingly capable, stable and super h…

- Hey here is our new laser printer - You can't print from Office you need to export to a PDF - Then use our SecurePrintTM application to send your PDF to the printer. It uses a ha…

If MQTT is fundamentally insecure, someone needs to inform the AWS IoT and Azure IoT teams. While they are at it, they need to change their user admin consoles to only allow access…

I wasn't aware of any specific vulnerabilities in the basic MQTT design (assuming it's over TLS). I agree that MTLS for embedded m2m/IOT auth against MQTT is pretty standard (see A…
