Fair point, I’ve been evaluating WiFi for my project as well and the ESP32-S3 certainly has better link rates and latency, though I’ve not determined if it can truly run uncompressed. UX-wise my project is pairing to a…
I’m using BLE GATT messaging with an upgrade path to L2CAP CoC channels for clients that support it. Roughly the path is: audio input -> opus encode -> BLE transmit -> smartphone/desktop. The latency floor ends up being…
I've been experimenting with more-or-less this on the existing ESP32-S3 (well, to a smartphone/PC rather than a 2nd ESP32). Practical bandwidth limits are in the ~72kb/s range with Bluetooth and a custom wire protocol,…
I've been experimenting with the ALFA HaLow HAT [1] for some personal projects. There's also a number of APs good for point-to-point use. [1] https://www.sparkfun.com/products/19956
I've been using it for light CAD work to design stuff for (hobbyist) 3d printing. You can use exact measurements just fine. The main issue is that it isn't parametric but for my needs that isn't a big issue, and the…
For what it’s worth, the Pixel 7 series (and maybe 6) has compatibility issues with some wireless chargers. It’s actually quite quick if you find one that plays nice: I measure 12-15 watts, so not much slower than…
GEOS (a Garmin subsidiary) offers this for most devices on the Iridium network, including Zoleo and Garmin's own inReach communicators: https://my-geos.com/products I have a Zoleo device and pay for the $40/yr coverage.…
Most dealers don't do this, though admittedly as another commenter mentioned, this isn't stopping the all the less scrupulous dealers. I paid MSRP for a Mach E I ordered online with relatively little fanfare, albeit…
By far the simplest solution is to just crack a window. Even a modest amount of fresh air exchange is enough to offset most of the CO2 generated by the people inside. I use a relatively small 10x11ft spare bedroom as my…
I have one of the Anker batteries. It'll happily take in >1000W from an AC wall outlet to charge fully in ~1hr. It's 300W max DC input from solar (which is where that 3.6hr number comes from) or 100W max from a 12v car…
I'm about halfway toward a PPL myself and have been trying to practice with a simulator. My biggest complaint is that control inputs seem to be almost completely different from the real thing. Maybe it's the hardware…
It was mentioned later in that thread, but the Kona EV also lets you control the AC remotely via its mobile app without leaving the keys in the car. I don't know if it'll run indefinitely, though; my old Chevy Volt…
Their older models from 2015 or so with 970m GPUs won't boot due consistently due to the hybrid (Optimus) graphics. The situation may have improved with the newer models, though, and their Stealth line only has Intel…
No idea, but I'm not going to complain. It's incredibly useful.
For the most part these issues are all fixed in recent kernel versions (> 4.2). The default trackpad driver (synaptics) is indeed buggy, but the newer libinput driver (available in the Ubuntu repos since 15.10) works…
Bulb detection used to be a big frustration for me as well, but they've 100% resolved my issues with it in the latest firmware update (now a few months old). I'd previously had issues with detection after power-on since…
Same here, I love mine as well. As a plus, the company seems to be pretty open-source friendly, and they've published official APIs and full protocol documentation over the last few months.
I've been working with PyCharm [1] a lot lately and I've come to like it a lot. Probably the best context awareness I've seen for any dynamic language - it (almost) feels like working in something more tool-friendly…
I've been using an older tablet PC for notetaking for a few months, switching from a combination of typed and pencil + paper notes. Anecdotally I think think is the best notetaking solution I've yet tried since: * No…
I'm a bit curious, why would those goals be at odds? Is there a specific reason build systems like this don't scale well? I'm genuinely curious, not having had much experience with larger projects. I'm not certain how…
To be fair, the "Flexible-Data Option" seems to only be available on the "Economy Plus" plan, which is their $20/m @ 3Mbps option. Still an annoyingly small quota, though.
It definitely can be, if you write your app assuming that you are working with a traditional server. You're very directly charged for writing inefficient apps. I have a moderately popular app running on the AppEngine…
It actually works great for me using the current Chrome Beta on Android, and I've heard Firefox might have started supporting WebGL on mobile as well, though a lot of platforms are still left out... iOS comes to mind.
