    I've found some still have a weird tendency to defend bad UX on apple products, even if it's obviously bothering them. I've heard similar sentiments as in the article too, especial…

    This is true, but this was never really a problem for the adoption. Spec delays, no firmware upgrade support, and most importantly no proper backing by phone or gateway vendors. Th…

    In the US, wages, vacation, healthcare, pension plans and care for the elderly are private arrangements set up by everyone individually (technically). The Nordic model is a collect…

    Odd not to see Zephyr mentioned at all, it's got way more activity than most (all?) of the projects listed, and many of the sponsors are actively involved.

    Yes, actually. I have to charge for 30-40 minutes every 5 hours or so. That fits well with my meal schedule, and most charging stations are at or close to restaurants or shops. Cha…

    A VW Golf starts at 35800€, and a VW ID.3 starts at 32800€, taxes included. Overall, electric cars are a bit cheaper than their counterparts, but not a lot. However, today, petrol …

    This is true, but the connection request only comes on one channel. The sniffer can be set up to follow an advertiser though, which makes it jump to the next channel in the sequenc…

    3) isn't really practical without some storage mechanism though. Sure, you can make a change that sits in ram until the next power cycle, but you could do that with firmware too if…

    +1, this approach will also highlight cases where you're trying to generalize something that isn't as generic as you thought. I'd argue that the need for downcasting in a method wo…
