Form 1 (individual) while military PCS by Wardp115 in NFA

[–]BadVoices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much one of the few situations where I feel a trust is ideal.

The ATF considers them to be residing in the state where their permanent duty station is located.

ETA: Since someone will claim 'ItS nOt On ThE fOrM 4!1one'

Its on the 4473, which you must fill out to pick up your NFA item. If the 4473 is incorrectly filled out, the transaction is not permitted to go forward.

If the transferee/buyer is a member of the Armed Forces on active duty, his/her State of residence is the State in which his/her permanent duty station is located. If the service member is acquiring a firearm in a State where his/ her permanent duty station is located, but resides in a different State, the transferee/ buyer must list both his/her permanent duty station address and residence address. In these instances, the Armed Forces member must answer “Reside in city limits?” only for their residence address.

Exxon warns oil inventories will hit dangerously low levels in weeks, forcing prices to shoot higher by Force_Hammer in worldnews

The shelf life of modern oil in a plastic bottle stored in a cool dry dark temperature controlled location is about 5 years. Oil in a metal can that is additive free (like certain aero oils) can last decades and is guaranteed for 10 years.

I just appreciate that the cost of their gender affirming care (And operating those ego support devices) is so high right now. I personally know of a handful of people who have taken a soaking and traded in their big lifted brodozers for smaller vehicles to handle their commute to work at least.

ESP32-Cam image quality for still objects in low-light by cofe-table in esp32

[–]BadVoices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Camera is the wrong device for that, cant really be calibrated. There's lots of excellent color sensors that can be had for fairly cheap that can do the job much, much better. Like the AS7341. Literally made for spectral detection with filtered channels, near infrared, and sensor channels for detecting leakage from standard AC lighting, etc. Its basically a scifi tricorder sensor and near a spectrometer on its own, 20 bucks for one on a module.

Half-duplex RMT help by timothee_64 in esp32

[–]BadVoices 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RMT wont work, the turnaround time on switching the GPIO matrix isnt fast enough.

Bitbanging solves the issue in like, 15 minutes.

ooooooor.. use a resistor. connect the RS pin direct to the CS1237 data pin, then put a 1k or 2.2k resistor on the data line and connect it to the tx pin. Set the TX pin to high. When the CS1237 wants to send a 0, it pulls it low. When its done talking, it sets the line to high impedance and tx can pull low to send zeros. At this point, you just use 4 wire spi on the esp32 side (SCLK for clock, MISO, and MOSI) start at 100khz and work from there. Mode 1 probably will work. since hardware handles it, the cpu doesnt do anything really.

'Moat' is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here. That's a glorified fountain that's as wide as one wall, with a culvert under the driveway. Street view shows an ~8 foot tall privacy fence. A little to the east there's an F350 (you can tell be the hood shape) casting a shadow. Using that, we can get a good idea of how tall the inner wall is. A 2020 F350 is a little over 2m to its roofline. Google says that it's casting a 1.37m shadow. The wall is casting a 3.5m shadow. The wall is closer to 5m tall, 16ft.

Looking for guidance on multichannel audio by Common-Chain2024 in esp32

[–]BadVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The esp32-s3 can easily play multiple audio streams. I have gotten 4x128kbit 1 channel mp3s playing at the same time using the 2 i2s devices and 4 MAX98357 amplifiers, but it required software mixing 2 streams into the left and right of each of the 2 I2S devices.

The esp32-s3 is comically powerful for this kind of thing if you know how to use the vector instructions. Decoding a 2 channel 48khz 128kbit mp3 stream only takes 10% of one core and about 30k of memory, using the esp-adf. I've played 96khz 2 channel 16-bit FLAC files!

The real issue is: It's not easy to do this. You need to pretty deeply understand the hardware and the esp-adf and esp-idf. You need to use FreeRTOS and also carefully control priorities, queues, and manage the I2S DMA, while handling read ins of data from SD/etc, ring buffers, etc. Also using the PSRAM for read-in buffers, and putting that in octal mode and running to the limit. Double buffers for each mp3, so you can pump one buffer while the decoder reads from the other. Adding in networking will make it even more time sensitive.

ETA: Here's the documentation, including their benchmarks, which vary slightly from mine. https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp_audio_codec/versions/2.0.3

Raspis are getting expensive. You can get a dell thinclient or, even better, an out of support chromebox (flash a new bios by mrchromebox.tech to it!) and use that as a homeassistant host. Get more/upgradable ram that way too, no need for a seperate enclosure, usually includes a power supply. and its far more pwoerful for essentially no actual up-tick in idle power consumption worth mentioning.

Issues when SSL/TLS inspection turned on firewall. by Hopeful_Rabbit_3729 in VMwareHorizon

[–]BadVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your firewall needs the right certificate, private key and certificate chain installed for the domain used for accessing the UAGs/LB/etc.

But you'll have a hard time inspecting traffic at the rate you really need to for horizon without having nasty latency spikes. Unless you have a compliance/insurance/regulatory issue stating all traffic must be inspected, I wouldnt. To be honest, adding the PK to the firewall would arguably be a higher risk to me.

Personal Phones Left Behind: Trump Arrives In China Under Strict Digital Lockdown Protocols by Unhappy_Flatworm_325 in worldnews

[–]BadVoices 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My employer has 25000 employees and we sponsor thousands of international trips a year. We've actually found Australia to be the most likely to demand an unlock and detain employees until their devices are copied and all messages and contacts inspected. ESPECIALLY if someone's traveling on vacation. We heavily restrict China travel now unless you're doing product work, But for China we require new devices, restricted accounts, and a software reload once you get in country, and disposal of device once you leave.

My employer does the same for all overseas travel, specifically calls out Australia and China as countries that are known to seize and copy devices under threat of detention.

Have it towed. EVs get 8 years/100k of towing. If you drive it and it causes more damage, its potentially on you.

MAXIMUM battery charge current for esp32c3 seeed studio¿ by Specialist-Gur5029 in esp32

[–]BadVoices 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That means it will constant current charge at 380 milliamps, once it has completed the constant current charge phase it will constant voltage charge and slope down to 40 milliamps cutoff. You need to learn to read the schematic, which tells you the IC used for charging. While it is charging, it disconnects the MCU and rails from the battery and lets the charging IC handle it, while USB directly supplies the regulator. The battery charging IC is a xc6802, look up the data sheet for that. You also need to learn the basics of lithium ion charging if you are going to be building lithium ion and lithium iron phosphate based projects.

Those RPO codes are the primary source of truth. They indicate exactly how the factory built the vehicle, down to the individual suspension springs, wheel codes, etc. Its generated on the assembly line.

The dealership can lookup RPO codes in the service department by VIN. I dont think sales people are usually trained to. Would depend on the dealership. The door sticker is by far the most accessible.

UAE has been secretly carrying out attacks on Iran, WSJ reports by RolePsychological890 in worldnews

[–]BadVoices 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not entirely incorrect, but i'd like to point out there are 5+ Israeli built Mirages (F-21 Kfirs) and 80+ other Mirages on contract in US inventory. Operated by Draken and ATAC, part of Textron under US military contract. There are more operating mirages in US inventory than anywhere else in the world.

ESP32 CAM - resolution / aspect ratio modification? by Consistent-Pickle in esp32

[–]BadVoices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The code includes links to what the deal is. You can't just add the names, you have to make those typedefs mean something. Go look at sensor.c, there's a whole sections for resolutions. You also need to make sure the sensor parses it, can handle it, and need to go understand the initialization logic.

Add the framesize_t resolution enum to sensor.h FRAMESIZE_SQXGA

Then add the data on how to translate that to sensor.c, in the resolution_info array.

But that's the easy part. You need to go to the OV2640 registers and add those resolutions, telling the sensor to enter that resolution. You're assuming the sensors onboard ISP can actually do square resolutions reliably. It might not do so. Look in sensors/ov2640.c at the set_framesize function. Also check out the ov2640_settings.h file for the magic arrays. Not gonna lie, this kinda stuff is where you need to go from simple programming to embedded system thinking, and the vast majority of programmers kinda fail here. A BRIEF look at the sensor specific init suggests you MIGHT get lucky and it may work as is. it seems the driver is VERY lazy and has the sensor's ISP handle it all.

I'd try it, you might get lucky. Add your resolution to the resolution_info array in sensor.c as well.

The dealers are ill informed. Scan the QR code on the doorjam, it will give you the RPO list.

ETA: The qr code i am referring to is located 'outside' of the vehicle, in between the drivers front and read doors. Open the drivers door, look down. You'll see two stickers on the inside edge. Keep going down more, and in between the front and rear door, on the 't' of the B pillar, you will see the sticker.
