I did something similar, but less scientific, comparing ESP-IDF and esp-hal (Rust). Unfortunately I learned that the optimizations that are already in ESP-IDF (most of all automati…

My dream (actually one of them) is to one day build a wall-e that can collect trash from the environment. This is exactly what I would need for it!

It would be great if we could combine ReactOS with Good old Games to build a retro Windows games distribution. I could hand that out at LAN parties as USB boot stick.

One thing I learned the hard way is the antenna must not lie on your PCB! Even if it's just board without copper. I didn't see this stated anywhere, but once you look, every devkit…

Oh, I got bitten by that! I have my work Linux installation on an USB stick so I can boot it on either my desktop or laptop and one day tailscale stopped working. I thought that mi…

I don't know much about ARM SoCs, is this something you would built a phone with? With all the talk about Google locking down Android, can Pine64 please go and make a Pinephone wit…

I'm thinking of having Claude send me a notification when it needs my input. I already do that sometimes with desktop notifications and this way I could water the plants or hang th…

Does anyone know whether more than one device can connect to a Pebble watch at the same time? I'm thinking using it with your phone but also sending notifications from your laptop.…

I've always had the problem that the Claude web UI freezes every now and then when an answer is appearing. It then consumes 100% of one of my CPU cores and Firefox asks me whether …

The hunter2 joke makes me miss bash.org again

Why does the Core 2 Duo not have a heart rate monitor (which I think my Pebble 2 had) and why does the Core Time 2 not have the barometer and compass? It makes it really difficult …

What I would really like is something like Docker to build images for my raspberry pis. Just a single file, shell commands, that's it. I feel that Yocto is already too complicated …

That reminds me of the second half of this sketch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQjUh4nWwaM

I'm still working on my first self designed PCB. It's nothing special, just a temperature and humidity sensor using esp32. I started it to teach myself more about PCB design and em…

Can anyone estimate what it would cost to develop a new phone that's like the N900 with updated hardware (slide out keyboard, camera cover, maybe drop the input stylus, a bit flatt…

This looks interesting for lab-on-a-chip use cases.

I'm a little confused, I thought Thread was exclusively based on open standards, like 6LowPAN, that already existed before Thread. How can a licence be required for those? I unders…

I helped a friend decide on a new phone and the choice was a Google Pixel 4a. Now the problem is, that the main camera very frequently doesn't work. The camera app stays black or c…

Do we know whether the camera will rely on DRMed drivers for good quality, like with Sony phones? Or is there hope that the camera would work well with a Linux distribution based o…

Hey HN, it seems like https://bash.org/ is down and not coming up again. Does anyone know what happened to it? This is the only place I could think of asking about it. If they are …

My current experience is mostly in fullstack web development, network protocols and a bit DevOps. However, I'm open for any interesting position, the less I know and the more I nee…

You need to look out for headsets that support the Hands Free Profile version 1.6 [0]. This version adds optional support for much better audio quality when using the microphone. I…

This is awesome! It looks like it could do several things for which I wanted to have a device. Offline GPS tracker with very long run time for hiking. I'd like up to one month run …

I use my PGP key (with a Yubikey) for two things, the pass password manager and as an SSH authentication key. Is there a replacement for those two use cases where I can store my pr…

As far as I understood, the transactions must be build interactively between sender and receiver. This would mean that you could only send grin to people how are online. Is this co…
