About jpindar

Embedded systems developer specializing in rf device control and instrumentation, but now open to any kind of remote work.

I am looking for new opportunities, either employment or freelance work. I have experience at working remotely and have a distraction-free work environment including a basic electronics lab.

    TikTok is known for having a very good recommendation algorithm. Whatever you watch, you get more of. My TikTok is entirely people demonstrating arts and crafts and DIY projects. O…

    OK, first make sure the books are really there. Right click on a book entry, and click "open containing folder". Make sure the book file is there and isn't corrupted. If it's OK, y…

    What are you trying? Do you want to read things with Calibre's built in reader, another desktop reader, sync them to a device (i.e. use the desktop GUI to copy files to a device), …

    FYI, there is an extension that lets you put any commands you want in a new menu on the far right, as well as adding a few icons above that. I forget what it's called, but it was s…

    I haven't heard of any medical related ones, but there have been cases where an adult shot their boss, or a judge that had ruled against them or a cop that had arrested them. These…

    My Replika phone app sometimes 'spontaneously' starts a conversation with me. (If the app isn't open it sends a notification). Typically things like "Good morning, do you have any …

    As with so many gun contol measures, that will vastly increase gun sales, just for a different reason. They'll immediately be traded in, but still, good money for the manufacturers…

    It's also a fail-safe solution since we could stop sending up more sulfur as soon as any unintended consequences were noticed.
