- Comment on Is there a standard/preferred list order for non-alphanumeric characters? 6 months ago:
The vertical bar (pipe) and broken bar are not the same symbol. Wikipedia has a whole section about it (“Solid vertical bar versus broken bar”). Only the pipe character can be used for pipes in Linux/Windows/Mac terminals.
- Comment on Biden urged to ban China-made electric vehicles from the US 7 months ago:
Are they better? I can’t really answer that, since I don’t know. But I’d be willing to buy a Chinese EV.
I don’t understand that mindset. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to inform yourself before buying something so expensive? Who is going to repair that car? How long will you get parts for it? What if the US and China start a trade war? Will you still get parts? I’m in Europe and nevertheless I think we will have a lot of problems if the US and China start a trade war.
I don’t even have to consider worker’s rights, human rights or environmental oversight in China. My own selfishness tells me that I should not buy a Chinese car.
- Comment on Stuck on Let's Encrypt certificate issuance due to firewall issue even after opening necessary ports 8 months ago:
You can use your phone with mobile connection (not WiFi) to check if it can see the file that you made available on your web server.
- Comment on It's not DNS 9 months ago:
HTTP3 uses UDP, which is 6 years younger than TCP.
- Comment on A23a: World's biggest iceberg on the move after 30 years 11 months ago:
For comparison, the London Shard, the tallest skyscraper in Europe, is a mere 310m tall.
Wikipedia says the Shard was the tallest building in Europe only from 2011 to 2012.
- Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like. 1 year ago:
In Germany we have a trial run of food delivery. A drone will bring a package with up to 4.5 kg to a “remote” village, then some students on e-bikes will bring it to the houses. Why they are using drones instead of one lorry a day is unknown.
- Comment on Scottish couple facing $33k repair bill after driving Tesla in heavy rain 1 year ago:
The second car here is a Tesla, and it still runs at the other side of the ford (but we don’t know for how long). But I agree, driving through rain should not damage a car.
- Comment on Am I crazy, or is powering an Arduino with a 9v battery viable in 2023? 1 year ago:
With 3 AAs and at 8 MHz 3.3V (Arduino Pro Mini) you don’t even need a buck converter.
- Comment on Meredith Whittaker reaffirms that Signal would leave UK if forced by privacy bill 1 year ago:
I’m curious how such a ban works. Of course they’ll tell Google and Apple to stop distributing the apps, but can’t you just sideload the app? Or are they blocking some network connections at the country level, or filtering DNS?
- Comment on Driverless car company is using chatbots to make its vehicles smarter 1 year ago:
Did you share the link to the article and I’m too dumb to find it? Anyway, here’s the article.
- Comment on Attiny85 the right choice for 24h led timer? 1 year ago:
If it doesn’t matter if it’s a few seconds too late or too soon an ATtiny 85 is good. If you need more accuracy you probably need an additional RTC.
- Comment on Some advice on creating a 2.4 GHz antenna for Seeed ESP32-C3 1 year ago:
Maybe the LOLIN C3 Pico?
- Comment on Some advice on creating a 2.4 GHz antenna for Seeed ESP32-C3 1 year ago:
So you have these boards already? Or could you just get other boards with an ESP32 and LiPo charger? Because many already have a printed or ceramic antenna built-in.
- Comment on Some advice on creating a 2.4 GHz antenna for Seeed ESP32-C3 1 year ago:
Is this not the same ESP32 with an antenna? Although I don’t know how the nRF52840 from your question comes into play here. Don’t you normally use an ESP or an NRF, and not both at the same place (with the exception of a gateway maybe)?
- Comment on How to successfully find a weather related community on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Which app is this? It finds a lot. Although 3k subscribers everywhere look a bit suspicious.
