    Since this is a post about a programming tool, I expected links to repositories. I like to pick up a tool and turn it around in my hands before I decide if it is a good tool or not…

    I set up a local BBS-like system and used the real NetZero* dialer to call it and attempt to log in. Then I changed my password and repeated the process several times. That gave me…

    Y'all let the public in before finishing your wait-list. I joined the list on 2023-03-02. Y'all didn't email me that signups were going to be public. Y'all didn't email me when sig…

    PSA: there is an Android application named "Google" (sic) which is a browser, but it's not Chrome. This browser application stores every interaction (browsing history, etc) on the …

    dnsge, would you be willing to help me carry out some research? Could you please explain in your own words, that is, without doing any searches, what a cloud variable is? I'm 40, a…

    Huh. You can't rewind/fast-forward/seek these "shorts" videos. (Well, I can't, with my particular browser/os/county/screen-dimensions/etc combo.)

    Correct, our eyes have cells that respond to certain wavelengths ("blue light") and send signals through nerves to the brain, but those nerves aren't attached to the visual cortex,…

    I'm skeptical, too. But apparently OP isn't the only one using (or trying to use) "TensorFlow-Lite for Microcontrollers" on an ESP32-S3. See this (little bit of) chatter: https://g…
