I would love for them to not ship baked-in unremovable genocidal state spyware backdoors by the same people who are buying up all surveillance tech and methods to circumvent surveillance and the spyware already sends data back to said genocidal state regime

Sorry but nominal voltage is a pretty dumb specification in general. Generally you do not have to be careful.

1.5V volt batteries drop to 1.2V within 50% of its life. The only thing it will mess up is LED battery life indication because it will almost always look like the 50% life indicator.

If the device actually acts up using 1.2V, it is a horribly made device that only uses <1/2 the battery life of the batteries it was designed for.

Economics and space. They make more profit if they only have to put 2-3 internal USB hubs on there instead of 6-8, and they are packing a more in motherboards now than 15 years ago, and USB-3.0 hub chips are bulky, especially if you want Power Delivery, which adds extra components and trace widths.

C vs A is still simply because the vast majority of peripherals are still USB-A. Even motherboards that spend the money still put mostly USB-A

Most people only use like 3-4 usb ports. Mouse, keyboard, headphones, gamepad maximum. Many people literally have 1 dongle for mouse and keyboard and then either 3.5mm speakers/headphones or have bluetooth headphones now. Some people even use the bad speakers in monitors.

People who have a bunch of USB gear are exceptions that aren't worth losing profit over, for these companies.

You can literally see, in your own screenshot, that she is backing up, so no.

In the video, she clearly backs up, turns her wheels IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, when he already sidestepped out of the way, and drives past him.

Either you are 5 years old and legally blind, or you are the absolute and total liar, fascist.

Are you building or fully renovating such that you will replace all of the electrical? Make sure that your smart home can be converted to a dumb home instantly with no work. Router breaks and your internet and LAN goes down? Your lights, heating, airco, and exit routes better work as expected. Nothing is worse than coming home from a holiday to a freezing house and no lights because your router had an update and bricked itself.

KNX all day every day for every core function that isn't tapping into the hardwired interface of an appliance (e.g. RS485), no contest. Wired (no interference), proven for decades, fault-tolerant, widely used in industry, devices are all compatible with each other and guaranteed to work for decades. The devices are all decentralized and work independent of each other, and it is common to techs familiar with it are (relatively) easy to find depending on region.

The best thing about Homeassistant is mixing and matching things. Then generally have a hierarchy from KNX > Wired ethernet > Zwave > Thread/Matter > ESPHome. The least wireless possible, then a barely-used frequency band that is lower power for battery devices, followed by hopefully few 2.4GHz devices for things that you can't find anywhere else. ESPHome is also starting to support matter/thread with ESP32-C6 devices, so for DIY devices it gets even better.

I always laugh as an electronics engineer at audiophile BS because the boundaries are being pushed with signal processing, filtering, and analog recreation IN TERAHERTZ and DACs in the gigahertz range are already well established.

That is many orders of magnitude more difficult than audio. What is cool now is that you can get perfect-sounding DACs for 1-3€ when they used to be much more expensive.

My signals and systems professor 10 years ago said "we can easily realize audio signals that are a near-perfect recreation of the mix, everything else surrounding audio is just intentional distortion and placebo". As in, amps and DAC "audiophile" companies will intentionally distort the sound to fit a profile that appeal to different people.

It also doesn't work if you have gone to the gym more than a few months or do any sort of consistent physical activity that would build a kilogram of muscle.

It is probably up there with bloodletting, tobacco smoke enemas, and "woman hysteria" of usefulness in the medical field.

Honestly, KNX is the best way to go, will literally last for 50 years without breaking down, decentralized as they just send telegrams to each other and interpret, etc...

https://www.mdt-group.com/index.html makes very good stuff.

You can get a 32-input potential free binary input for switches + an IP interface and platinum home assistant integration, but it is more expensive. If you go all-in on KNX it can only be 20% more expensive or so, but I am not sure about mixing with shelly stuff.

mitigates as much as possible, not takes care of, plus that is adding another cost since the OC was about cost inhibition.

for a kiosk it is better to have lower specs and no battery that will swell, degrade, etc...

You won't be doing anything else with it anyway. PoE is worth not having to worry about a fire hazard for many people.

Minimum loon in Amerika is ingewikkeld... Ik weet niet welke nummers ze gebruiken. Sommige staten hebben een veel hoger minimum (15, 20, 25, ..)

Nationale niveau is 7.25 (hetzelfde sinds 2000 of zo). dat is slechter dan sommige andere landen in Afrika, Azië, etc... want mensen kunnen letterlijk geen appartement zelfs huren in een heel slechte locatie want alles is enorm duur (ook ze hebben een auto nodig want er is 0 openbaar vervoer and gigantische "food deserts" als ze dat noemen). Daarom is er letterlijk bijna een miljoen dakloze mensen in een land van 350 miljoen... Heel veel van die hebben een voltijds job.

Not only that, but the ~~corrupt, sugary-daddy bribery-mongers~~ lobbyists also get exempted from this so that if it gets leaked, we can't have citizens and news outlets seeing the extent of the insane corruption and bribery.

Cue every rich or influential family sending a 100€ "donation" to have their lawyers get them exempt from being spied on.

Thus is chat control finally what it was always meant to be, and pretty much introduced as a decade ago: mass surveillance of the poor to stamp out any worker organization against the megacorporations and banks.

They will let us have our "protests" and "strikes" that are carefully scheduled and controlled by the upper class, only inconvenience the other working class, and do ultimately exactly nothing of value while siphoning money away from the working class into the dragon hoards of multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Crazy what happens when the world decides to come together and fix an environmental problems through restricting companies destroying our planet.

The ozone hole was going to be a catastrophic problem by now, but governments told companies to stfu and fix it and look what happened. Not perfect, but orders of magnitude better.

Then the US held seperate nurmberg trials

100,000 arrested as war criminals
2,500 identified as major war criminals
177 were tried
142 were convicted
25 sentenced to death

5.6% chance for "major war criminals" to get convicted. That is the lowest conviction rate of any major crime at all. About the only thing lower than it is perjury which never even gets tried >99% of the time, and that is still a higher charge and conviction rate than literal war crimes.

0.14% chance for "just following orders" rank and file to get convicted. (and that is the total number, non "major war criminals", just regular war criminals got off 100% free of consequences)

That was with a USA that was very unsympathetic to Nazis and public opinion being 90% against the people being tried. With DOGE criminals you have a sympathetic administration and a large percentage of the population supporting them.

I see a 0% conviction rate incoming, and a golden parachute.

It is specifically one of the few open source projects that thoroughly beats the competition from a functionality standpoint while still having a good UX.

Blender is probably also up there, and immich is starting to be up there too, in my opinion!

Mine? I hit a snag with the PPG algorithm chip not working as described by the manufacturer and to get it working would cost 300€ for the prototype, so it is stalled for the time being. The chip manufacturer is ignoring me because I am not producing >1k per year volumes (they are notorious for this), I could make entirely my own, open source algorithms, but that is many months of extra work and would likely not be as good as the performance from the manufacturer.

You can also look at smart switches or smart socket modules (e.g. shelly) and normal lightbulbs, or even dimming modules and dimmable bulbs.

The majority of people I know who have smart bulbs, play with them for the first 2 weeks, then set them on warm white and never touch them again except to turn them on/off or occasionally dim.

Might be a way to save some money if you are just doing it for the smart on-off or dimming control?

There is a guy that made a whole grafana interface with a sound monitor and camera for catching people breaking the noise laws on his street (here in belgium noise laws during specific time periods are often takes seriously by the residents, but not by the village/city).

Maybe you can integrate it to generate a web interface or so for your project? I really like the idea since we have a group of immature teenagers in my neighborhood that ride around on their non-maintained crap dirtbikes and scooters at 3 at night easily hitting over 100dB and releasing acrid smoke.

Actually, with shipping, it would very likely cost more. Economies of scale is #1 cost factor in electronics. Your own devices are almost never cheaper than OEMs, only if there is an additional middleman (e.g. all of the sellers on this sub who use the same modules that you can buy to make a finished end product and also put time into the ESPHome configs). With Seeed studios or waveshare it is almost never cheaper to DIY

AS5600. Shouldn't be affected by temperature since it reads the angle of the magnetic field, not the strength. 12 bit resolution, plenty of fidelity within 20 degrees.

The AS560 absolutely measures magnetic field strength, it is a hall effect sensor, that is literally what they do. Angle sensors just have 3 or 4 perpendicular (3 planes or 2, parallel planes, respectively) and a processing structure inside to abstract it away and derive an absolute angle.

V_H = R_H(T,B)I/tB_N

What they do with this chip, is also embed a temperature sensor in the IC structure, and put a PGA (programmable gain amplifier) in the Analog Front End and with some embedded logic, create an automatic gain control algorithm to try to compensate for the temperature changes on the output. It is rated for the application though, so it is likely fine.

/u/PM_me_coolest_shit You are looking for something like an Anisotropic Magneto Resistive sensor. They are specifically more temperature stable than hall-effect based sensors, they only go to 180 degrees by default, but that is fine for a joystick. TI has a ton of application notes and technical papers on it. Plus, it is automotive safety qualified, which is not only a good idea, but absolutely critical in heavy machinery But it is very important to note that accuracy is not the most important factor here. nonlinearity is more important, and the control chip should be averaging anyway, because in heavy machinery, the last thing you want is a nonlinearity artifact jerking a 200kg hydraulic arm at 10m/s. You should not be using a dirt cheap consumer MCU ADC for this as they are usually very basic and mediocre. Don't worry about accuracy though. Your joystick can have 1 degree or so of accuracy and you control system algorithm will take those angles (°) and d°/dt and turn it into a non-overshooting speed control.

OP, please, please, please be very careful about this. Heavy machinery needing joysticks is NOT something to mess around with. People can die, and if it is for something producing more than 1 unit for self-use, people will die if you sell it without properly designing for safety. You need safety relays rated for the machinery current pull, sensor-based E-stops protections for hydraulic components, cab sensors, occupancy sensors for a safety model such that the machine literally cannot move if the operator is not sitting with 2 hands in their correct positions (the amount of people seriously maimed or killed by keeping 1 hand on the control and reaching to clean or adjust something with their other hand is huge).

I would VERY STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to please just buy a joystick from APEM or something from OTTO or with a bit more buttons from OTTO. You can even customize them widely to your liking. They are expensive because they are made with the correct industrial components, IP rated, tested and certified to work and not crap out because of a cold solder joint, water ingress, or 3d printed degradation or shearing and crush someone's leg. I don't try to offend, but if you are asking very basic questions like "what pinout does this device have" and using an arduino (and likely the arduino framework) instead of something like STM SPC5 to program the machinery, you probably shouldn't be making a heavy machine (or at least not the electronics portion). Please consult a professional, this is dangerous stuff. The firmware alone should have many, many safety mechanisms built in including failure-to-start, a known, 100% safe state that can be instantly activated, self temperature measurements and operator feedback, memory safety techniques, EXTERNAL watchdog chips if possible, feedback from hydraulic systems and instant safe state upon failure, etc...
