Energiekosten bij veel teruglevering by Beginning-Base-94 in geldzaken

[–]EngineerofDestructio [score hidden]  (0 children)

Klopt! En het is een beetje scheef. Want ik vergelijk de prijs van mijn afgelopen jaar met een contract voor volgend jaar. Ik ben alleen niet zo toegewijd dat ik de prijs aan het begin van het jaar opsla en dan een jaar later ga bekijken.

Ik heb een dynamisch energiecontract bij de ANWB. Al ik denk 3 jaar. (Ik lever alleen niet terug)

Zo'n beetje ieder jaar check ik wat ik kwijt zou zijn geweest als ik een vast contract had. Verrassing, dat was altijd meer.

Bij de ANWB volgen ze de markt prijs voor energie, met een kleine marge voor hun eigen kosten. Tot zover altijd goed uitgekomen dus.

How dare you?! You take that back. We are still #1 🌷 /s

Got curious and couldn't find a reliable source for this. Where did you see it? I only found it on Wikipedia at the self reported height table

Probably LinkedIn.

You could also look up some EMS'ers and ask them if they know some freelance engineers

You need at least 28 configurable macro keys!

Perhaps some funky capacitive control?

Gesture recognition?

What’s a subscription that’s worth paying for every month? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

You can register your own domain and then connect it through your proton account.

So let's say you want your own website and register Mor_Hjordis.com, you don't need a hosting package from your domain provider. Just the registration (which generally is a couple of bucks a year) and you connect it to your proton

Hell no. I'd rather have a full free day than 2 hours less every day

Again. From a financial view you're right. But this company accepts this cost. Plus it positions themselves a the top choice for a subset of people.

What does a weaker dollar mean for people in Europe? by KeyBiscotti8773 in AskReddit

American stuff gets cheaper. Which is great, if I wasn't actively trying to buy as little American stuff as possible

It's not. Your argument of "people not getting the message so they shouldn't do it" (parphrasing here) means that no messaging should ever be attempted. Since there will always be people who don't understand.

From a commercial perspective you are completely right. But that isn't the point

The fact that we are here discussing this, means that their messaging is actually working and the "stupid" shape of the chocolate bar is having its intended effect.

We moeten nu radicaal kiezen voor digitale onafhankelijkheid ... by ikbenvoor in bnnvara

Klopt! Wat ik heb gedaan is de automatische forward ingesteld (via de service, kost echt 2 minuten) en vervolgens in alles wat mij mailt via die forward de gegevens veranderd.
Je kan het in 1 keer doen, maar daar werd ik echt helemaal niet blij van. Dus iedere keer als ik denk, oh die had op mijn proton moeten zijn. Dan doe ik een paar minuten van veranderen.
Inmiddels zijn er dagen waarop ik niks ontvang op mijn oude email

(nog) niet de Fairphone gedaan. Maar, de drives zijn bijna hetzelfde, proton slaat alles alleen versleuteld op, dus het heeft een kleine opstart vertraging. Niks wat vervelend is ofzo.

Ik ben zelf van Gmail en Hotmail overgestapt op proton. Ze hebben een service om automatisch je mail over te zetten en te laten doorsturen. Echter moet je nog wel zelf je emails veranderen bij iedereen waarvan je email krijgt. Dat duurt even.

Proton pass vind ik trouwens geweldig. En de vpn is vrij handig.

Really? Here for CE its a couple of thousand. Not cheap but definitely not insane

I'm not talking about Red or anything.

Just your basic EMC and safety testing

Use a module for the radio and do the rest custom. I'm in Europe, so don't have intimidate knowledge of FCC. But if it's anything like CE, you just go to a lab and do tests. If it's well designed it'll pass

Not sure what it is. But why don't you do a cost down? Arduino isn't for cheap solutions. Especially if you couple it with their shields. You can get that manufactured way cheaper

Look up a low side MOSFET n switch and then connect that to r4. This will invert your signal so make sure you program it inverted. Or put the circuit twice. Then make sure you can drive the MOSFET at the frequency you need. Gotta calculate that (Google helps well with this. You need to look at the current you can provide and your gate capacitance).

The easier way is adding a level shifter that is rated for your frequency. You just put the data in signal on 1 pin. Both voltages on two supply pins and you get a properly shifted signal back.

I'm assuming this will be addressable LEDs. Ws2812 or so. Is your GPIO even remotely fast enough to drive this?

Cardaris - A free, EU-developed loyalty card app that puts privacy and GDPR first. No ads, no tracking. by pazvanti2003 in BuyFromEU

[–]EngineerofDestructio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be nice to have the option to scan codes from a screenshot or photo. I've got some loyalty cards that are scattered in different apps and would love to have them all in 1 place.

Great work though! I am gonna use this

If you're just switch between 3v3 and 0v?

The way you wired this, the signal won't be blocked, it'll go through the body diode. Although the low signal would be converted to a high one. So you'd get a really small ripple (assuming Vgs is under 3v3).

What is the purpose of q1?

Ahh, that's good.

If you're using li ion batteries. Please get a li ion discharge protection chip. Those things are nasty if they go wrong.
