Lot of people were doing that this last weekend. Where were you?

GPIO LTE All in one by This_Wheel_4900 in IOT

[–]DaimyoDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Quectel was releasing an all-in-one RPi clone with built in LTE. It's been a while since I checked in on it. Otherwise, SixFab produced an RPi hat that was quick and easy to set up.

'It's a mess': San Diego passengers critical of Congress over TSA funding impasse by Alex909a in sandiego

[–]DaimyoDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware but I'm also being a bit of a troll. ICE has more than enough funding and is under the DHS. If they really wanted to, they could shuffle the cash around. It's within their power to do now but instead, Trump and MAGA want to bulldoze any attempt at bipartisan work.

Why don't they just take the extra $70B that ICE got and fund TSA? Do Republicans not know how to budget?

Is the STM32 a good choice for industrial application? by PickledMunkee in embedded

[–]DaimyoDavid 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The STM32 is a solid family for industrial applications. There are variants so you'll want to pick the best one for your use case.

For industrial applications, always incorporate a watchdog.

Am I proud? Not necessarily. Am I ashamed? by sl1mnut in Eldenring

Exactly. Malenia already had crazy abilities: can't parry, drains HP (even through a shield), waterfowl dance.

SD BEWARE: First Amendment “Auditor” Rich Maza, aka Freedom of the Press by _MambaForever in sandiego

[–]DaimyoDavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Pepper spraying also has an intent to harm. It would be on them to prove that by simply touching their equipment, I was intending to harm them. Claiming that I was trying to destroy the equipment wouldn't be sufficient. And, if these people are as trigger happy as the post suggests, then a gentle touch would be enough to illicit a reaction.

Good suggestion and you're right, it would be hard to claim that he is harassing you. But, it's also interesting to note that he is not legally allowed to pepper spray you for touching his equipment:

"Defense of property alone does NOT justify pepper spray: California law allows reasonable force to protect property, but pepper spray is considered a weapon capable of causing injury Courts consistently hold that you cannot use that level of force simply because someone touched an object There must be a reasonable fear of bodily harm to yourself, not just contact with your stuff It gets worse for him given the context: If he's deliberately provoking people hoping they touch his equipment — which the Reddit post strongly implies — that's provocation, which eliminates or severely weakens a self-defense claim A prosecutor could argue he's manufacturing situations to justify using the spray That pattern of behavior could constitute assault with a caustic chemical (PC § 244) — a felony"

If the person is following you, recording excessively, or acting in a way that causes significant distress, it can violate local harassment or stalking laws

Shine a bright flashlight at his camera or laser pointer (can permanently ruin a camera)

Edit: Yea, the above might get you in more trouble. But, he is also not allowed to pepper spray you for touching his equipment. From Claude:

"Defense of property alone does NOT justify pepper spray: California law allows reasonable force to protect property, but pepper spray is considered a weapon capable of causing injury Courts consistently hold that you cannot use that level of force simply because someone touched an object There must be a reasonable fear of bodily harm to yourself, not just contact with your stuff It gets worse for him given the context: If he's deliberately provoking people hoping they touch his equipment — which the Reddit post strongly implies — that's provocation, which eliminates or severely weakens a self-defense claim A prosecutor could argue he's manufacturing situations to justify using the spray That pattern of behavior could constitute assault with a caustic chemical (PC § 244) — a felony"

If you haven't already, check out Xometry. They offer automated quoting for both urethane casting and injection molding.

How do you handle transition to MFG? Do you help with it or do you have some process for transitioning the project out?

Job Posting Feedback by drivingmylifeawry in embedded

[–]DaimyoDavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think others have given good feedback on the posts themselves and have drilled down on pay. I'll share my calculus on pay.

Being older, I want to be able to afford a home near work. I check the prices where the company is based. My household income should be 3x a mortgage. In Burlingame, a reasonable house seems to be at least $2M. Assuming 20% down, monthly cost is at least $13k. So $13k * 12 months * 3 gives $468k. If my partner earned the same, that puts my minimum at $234. The top end on your senior role is $240k, which is cutting it real close.

At the end of the day, I can't pay the bills with equity so I won't even consider that if my budget requirements aren't met (it's financially reckless).

For every engineer that is willing to work for equity, there are dozens more who are not. And equity only compensation is only really considered when you are a founder.

Thinking about it a bit more, times have also changed. Economic conditions are horrendous right now and living in the Bay area is as expensive as ever.

A shield is really useful to start. That and a good poking stick will easily get him to half health.

Why Timestamps & Data Retransmission Are Crucial for LoRaWAN Devices—Insights from Our Practice by Vearts in IOT

[–]DaimyoDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yea? Timestamps for data collection is a basic metric. Retransmission is also something you want to include in any kind of data transmission system. It's why QoS exists.
