I suppose this means that supporting future Pixel devices will be more difficult? If someone has the ear of anyone at Google, especially someone who works with Android, please shar…

Last I heard, Google discontinued publishing device trees and driver binaries for Pixel devices with their recent changes to their stewardship of the AOSP [0]. Was it something def…

It does not appear to be working for me right now, I get "error loading exercises". What are your thoughts about the wger project [0]? It is a FLOSS AGPL-licensed self-hosted fitne…

Please, I don't want to come on to HN to see politics injected into everything. Stay on reddit for that. I logged in to make a comment regarding something within my area of experti…

> Not to make everything political... [proceeds to make a political statement] For what it's worth, this type of Lidar scanner was possible to make well over a decade ago with ROS1…

Thank you for the excellent reply! I think I understand now... Once a business starts transacting in things other than a single type of money (say durable goods, consumables, servi…

Please elaborate more, my friend! Let's say that I was^W am a programmer who is seduced by the plain-text accounting / one-database-is-all-you-need notion and I think my needs will…

Like the other commenters have mentioned, if the premise is to prevent the child from going online, I am not sure if I agree with this approach... But to answer your question as st…

Just for everyone's reference, there is a rich community of third-party packages [0] ("apps") and launchers for rM and rM2, so it's possible to add on any number of sync (syncthing…

I don't like being negative, but I feel like I am obligated to pipe up every time I see Onyx products hit the front page here[0], because I was one of the people who politely reque…

How cool! I have over a decade of notes taken in xournal and other digital tablets and was considering taking a short sabbatical to type them all out. Might not need to after all! …

It's just linux under the hood and they give you root access. So you can install anything that you can compile, and you have access to all the compiled packages in entware [0]. For…

Every now and again, I see stories about Onyx and their tablets pop up and I have to dust off this old comment of mine [0]. I've since sold the tablet and picked up a remarkable th…

Yes, second to the archiving mail by year advice. Also switching over to maildirs (which is a one-time inconvenience) means that you can share the same maildir with mu et al. Shari…

Hold on there friend. I use Thunderbird on desktop and have used it for nearly two decades across Windows, Mac, and Linux. I love it! It's extensible, has excellent plugins that Ou…

Are there non-plastic nighttime mouthguards out there? In light of all the new awareness about the health hazards of micro and nano plastics (and plasticizers), I'm a bit reluctant…

I do a fair bit of primary and secondary school STEM mentoring in my free time. People like me are frequently brought into schools as part of efforts to encourage them to pursue ST…

What are some good publicly-accessible collections of case studies if someone wanted to start a discussion club? Someone once told me that part of the value proposition of the best…

AFAIK, ebay charges fees on the subtotal including shipping. So if that practice still exists, it must be 1. out of habit or, 2. to make the prices appear cheaper (shipping costs a…

Best include the whole quote: >Some of these can be grounds for being denied insurance coverage in the event of a fire or other damage. Honestly, I don't know and I haven't persona…

Only thing I'd add is to try to get devices that can be flashed with esphome[0] for future-proofing. There is an onramp[1] for devices that can be flashed with Tasmota. Also be ver…

Andreas Spiess' recent video [0] covered some milimetre-wave radar chips whose application includes presence detection at a distance (including if the bed is occupied). Does anyone…

With respect to microplastics and nanoplastics, this study explored the mobilization of plastics when heating up foods in plastic containers (a few months ago) [0]. I was also surp…

Just to add an anecdote substance unlike [0], I wouldn't really recommend the Pinephone Pro as anything more than a development platform. It has the "same" chip (clocked differentl…
