    But only if said Roomba is unable to find enough sugar on the ground for a few days. Otherwise, it's completely self-sufficient, you just have to leave enough crumbs on the floor.

    If you are not averse to an off-the-shelf solution, Broadlink RM4 PRO universal remote will do both IR and 433MHz wireless (records and replays codes). The temperature and humidity…

    Not even a smartwatch? What's your opinion on fitness trackers (the passive ones, without display)?

    Right, you'd need a really strong signal. Also, I believe that is exactly the reason why FM tuners are being phased out. Streaming services will nowadays give you uninterrupted pla…

    Did you use a fountain pen to write and refine the post? ;)

    That's quite similar to the "start from the shoulder and use your whole arm to strum" concept when playing the guitar.

    No worries, there is even a Radiohead song about that (the weirdo part). ;)

    The 3.5mm jack is the other missing piece required for that FM receiver to work - and that's not coming back any time soon.

    Wait till you enter the world of more advanced RC stuff, that's when the Cambrian explosion of connector types really happens.

    The USB-C and Thunderbolt docks are annoying! It basically boils down to the fact that they come in two variants, with and without Displaylink. Both have their advantages and disad…
