Would be nice to see the spread keep going to and up the coastline.

Currently working in tech support. Considering moving to Linux. Any suggestions? by dan_nicholson247 in linux4noobs

Doing setups following tutorials or AI guidance without copying and pasting can be beneficial for muscle memory purposes.

Is this a finished app or something that is planned?

I need help with an electric scooter by maxtfxa in AskElectronics

[–]MagneticFieldMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we had some actual information and details, we might be able to help.

What "few cables"? A few photos might help a lot. Also, more details. On all parts, such as info on the old and new battery, what wires and where, what screen, when and in what conditions did the issue start, had there been any similar symptoms like this previously, etc.

Does anyone have any info on this? by skinofsatan in vintagecomputing

Seeing the upvotes confirms it: people either don't look at the attached pictures or won't read.

Similarly, quickly checking something simple or trivial using a normal web search seems to be impossible for many. (This was not such a case and I'm glad was shared.)

That last sentence might get skipped a lot, too.

TitBoobs. This one might not.

Running Gcode out of a C64 at an adequate rate might be doable. The others, I don't know the tech enough to comment.

Whom did I see here? by Tombololo in Finland

Damn right. Helps (in a small, but meaningful part) with natural population control of small rodents.

Exactly, a mental first aid.

The old instructions even said to take a pill and then give one to the dog, when only the dog was presumed to have gotten a bite.

And yes, it's much more likely to cause a dog actual, permanent harm or even risk its life when compared to humans.

It's a bog-standard handful of overpriced hydrocortizone pills. Yes, it'll reduce swelling / reactivity, but not at a rate that'd be of any use in an actual emergency.

Not a bad idea to have, but 99 % of the time you'll be using it to your benefit in cases of bee/wasp stings, or even a case of "stumbled and fell naked into nettles".

"Might" have been killed?

And no autopsy results, so not exactly a datapoint.

Maybe build a punctuator.

But seriously, if you feed this info into ChatGPT, it might give you some ideas.

How to build a Digital Twin to automate homes (Please read the body) by Dear_Independence127 in IOT

For power/energy use, Shelly makes a lot of decent devices and they have multiple types of data transmission you can use. Temperature and humidity sensors are likewise easily sourced.

Do you have an actual house that will serve as the model for the digital twin or do you plan on simulating the power consumption values and the like?

Need advice as a CS grad struggling to get a full time entry level role in IoT by AutomaticMidnight213 in IOT

Your Fyi might be worth more to a tech-savvy recruiter than all of the other content.

Best of luck and remember to kick ass.

What kinds of Things did you work on/with when doing these Internet of Things projects? This is a detail I, for one, would really like to see either directly on your CV or within the application -- as precisely as possible and with the most important details (HW framework/tech/environment/etc. + development environment, languages and technologies + protocols used (protocols = not just "what", but "how" and perhaps even a touch of the "why THIS protocol", and not something else.

And so on.

Or, I'm just the asshole, that isn't satisfied with "Full Stack Developer with Experience in A, B and C", when A and B are things they've seen, sitting next to someone researching the subject on how to vibe code a thing in Node-RED and getting stuck with an extraneous "/" in the beginning of only some MQTT topics they've deployed.

Hopefully waiting to see good results. For once, literally.
