#112Every Layout. Not directly for specific solutions and components but more to get inspired from them and from latest CSS capabilities they use (seeing them in action beats reading specs). Updates for life are promised.

#113Ambient Weather's weather stations are on sale (20% off some components, and some base stations). That never happens.
Sincerely curious question: Why would one want a home weather station? Like, are you growing crops at home? Or just curious about hyper-local weather over time?
If you garden then you may want to know your actual amount of rainfall to gauge how much watering you need to do. You'd be surprised how much rainfall can actually vary over a small area compared to a regional average.
And for people in rural areas that are not near other weather sensors, or areas that may not have regular internet connectivity or frequent outages (and coastal areas subject to storms and high winds). And of course weather nerds and sensor nerds, because those MQTT databases won't fill themselves.

#115How Black Friday works: Companies release products 6-12 months in advance. On the day of their release they are at their most valuable. Every day that goes by they slowly lose a little bit of desirability. For practicality, and human marketing reasons, companies do not adjust their prices every day to reflect the reduction in demand. Instead they gather all the erosion into one big clump and release it in a frenzy on…
Not always. In order to attract business amid all of the other sales, plenty of companies do offer genuine black friday discounts. Particularly when you’re not selling a physical product (think gym memberships or spa days, for example) these sorts of things don’t decline in value each day.

Can you give an example of one? It blows my mind that this is possible - I mean not the technology exactly, that makes sense, but just that something reasonably portable that I would carry around in case my phone dies can also have the level of utility of jumping my vehicle in a pinch. The future is pretty cool.
The battery packs for jumping cars (at least the ones I've seen) are generally more of a size appropriate for putting in a trunk than a backpack or pocket.
I had one a while ago when road tripping in the US, served me a few times, it won't fit in your average jeans pocket but it easily fits in a jacket, you could fit 20+ in your glovebox

#118Someone compiled a big list of deals on apps, SaaS software, utilities, books, courses, etc and seems to be taking PRs: https://github.com/trungdq88/Awesome-Black-Friday-Cyber-Mond...
$80 software 50% off to take screenshots and that's a deal? Mac app economy is truly crazy. Just mind blowing to me when we have FOSS software like ShareX which pretty much does the same and more https://getsharex.com/
I'm more of a Greenshot fan, it's small and gets out of the way. Unfortunately only available for Windows.

#119An Anker Power Bank (24,000mAh) has a £40 discount right now on Amazon UK. This is a really nice piece of tech that has helped me to work outside the house with peace of mind. Can keep my phone charged (which I use for tethering) for over a week, no problem. Drains way quicker when charging my M1, but that one has far less battery issues when compared to my phone. The discount is real, as well. I know because I bough…
Anyone else bothered that they do not specify the energy in watt-hour? Back when USB was 5V it was pretty easy to do the conversion from Ah, how does it work now that USB can negotiate voltage dynamically?
You should be able to calculate the watt hours based on the voltage of the internal batteries. Its likely a 3.7v lithium, so this anker bank would be 3.7v x 24,000mAh = 88.8Wh
