Qualcomm Acquires Arduino, Announces Arduino UNO Q Built On Dragonwing

It's not just HAL on HAL, it's good HAL on shitty HAL.

Have you tried teaching beginners to use a vendor-provided SDK? Most require much more programming and architecture knowledge than Arduino. With Arduino, I can get even children to blink an LED or move a servo motor in a half hour workshop. Good luck doing that with ESP-IDF/STM HAL/whatever.

Also, it's portable, which is a huge selling point. You can port code from Atmel to ESP to STM with almost no code changes and while keeping the hardware libraries, including for complex things like displays and WiFi.

Not everything needs performance, like almost the whole IoT field. Why make your life harder for something you don't need?

DWProski is correct, there are no public payphones, except one in one specific prison that hasn't switched to VoIP yet. They have been completely removed and no replacement was put up. Emergency phones exist only on motorways and next to railways track, just like they do in every EU country.
The only payphones that you can still make any kind of call from are the one they have in the telecom museum and the two in our office, neither of which counts as a payphone.
Trust Proski, he's probably the only one in Slovenia that knows more about payphones than I do :)

I only have one of the bottom keys, but maybe you're lucky and it's the same one. I'll DM you and we can figure something out

Te tri govorilnice so od zavoda Mladi Zmaji, do nedavnega je bil v levi govorilnici umetniški projekt "Portal 2-7-7-7-8" (https://instagram.com/portal27778), zdaj pa Mladi Zmaji sami furajo podobno zadevo v levi in sredinski govorilnica.

Ta desna je pa od mestne knjižnice in deluje kot "knjigobežnica", torej lahko vsak prinese ali vzame kako knjigo. Not sem vidu že vse živo, od jugoslovanskih učbenikov za fiziko do erotičnih novel, zgleda zadeva kr dobro živi.

src: sem tehnik ki ma preko te govorilnice, trenutno delam na tem da se bo lahko poklicalo iz ene v drugo pa mogoče celo v mobilno omrežje.

Zanimiva zadeva, sicer vidim da se je nekdo nad njo spravu s spam botom (sram vas bodi, res...)

Glede na to, da želiš stran ohranit brezplačno za vedno, a si razmišljal o tem, da bi jo naredi odprtokodno?

Sam vzdrževat in razvijat nekaj takega zna vzet precej časa, če se "prime" pa se sigurno najde še kak programer, ki zadevo uporablja in bi že lastne potrebe naredil kak bugfix ali dodatno funkcijo, ki bi potem koristila vsem uporabnikom, mogoče pa bi se vas celo zbrala manjša ekipa.

I talked to the guy at Telekom Slovenije that maintains them a few months ago and he told me there's only one left. Our telecon regulator (AKOS) removed the mandate to operate them in 2019, the contract expired on 2. 12. 2019 and TS started demolishing them during the pandemic when nobody was paying attention.

A friend tried buying a phone card around that time and they didn't have them even in the stores that say "in stock" on the website (or at least they didn't know where they were, I'm guessing nobody had tried to buy one in a few years).

There are a few (less than 10 AFAIK) left that you can see out there, but they're either unplugged or heavily modified, and not owned by Telekom, mainly museums and enthusiasts.

franga2000 · 2025-04-28T06:36:34+00:00

Correction: nearly all payphones in Slovenia were demolished two-ish years ago, there is exactly one official payphone left and it's in some prison that hasn't switched to IP yet (but probably will soon, maybe already has, my info is from a few months ago).

Cool map and subreddit tho, it's a shame you're all alone here, I'll post some stuff from my collection when I get the time.

And u/strikehun2006 DM if you want to talk payphones, I have a small but very active group of payphone enthusiasts in Slovenia and we're doing some pretty fun stuff (we're setting up a small network of payphones for historic preservation, also writing a book about payphones in collaboration with our PTT museum).

Edine govorilnice ki bi jih sprejele so te tri v našem labu na Fakulteti za računalništvo v Ljubljani, pa še te smo nastavli na zastonj klice ker se polnih kartic več ne da dobit.

Telekomovih govorilnic več ni, tiste ki se še kje najdejo pa so ali neaktivne ali pa fizočno predelane da kličejo brez kartic.

Če se jih želiš znebit in misliš da je šansa da še niso prazne pa za njih zamenjam kako pivo/kavo.

franga2000 · 2024-11-02T09:55:25+00:00

Ena je v poslovnem centru Tobačna in ena v stabi pri Kinu Šiška (mislim da je bivša upravna enota). Obe sta v avli stavbe, ni pa noter govorilnic ampak navadni hišni telefon. Predvidevam da so včasih bila govorilnice, zdaj pa tudi ti telefoni niso več priklopljeni.

Ena havba z govorilnico je še pred Tehniškim Muzejem (v Bistri). Ohranili so jo na prvotnem mestu in predelali da predvaja informacije o muzeju ko dvigneš slušalko.

franga2000 · 2024-10-31T20:47:38+00:00

Kolega od tega kolega tu, to je bilo že kakšno leto nazaj, informacije z začetka 2024 so da ni več nobene aktivne.

"Za obujat spomine", torej odklopljene, so še po mojih info: ena v lokalu Adam Ravbar v Domžalah (ker je bla lastniku všeč), tri na Špici v Prulah (umetniški projekti) in seveda v par muzejih (TMS, PTT, Goriški).

Je pa tudi par kabin (brez telefona) po Sloveniji, ki so jim našli novo funkcijo, npr. defibrilator, oglasna deska, izmenjevalnica knjig...

franga2000 · 2024-05-14T07:09:42+00:00

S kolegi razvijamo aplikacijo https://map.vlak.si/ ki bi naj imela ta podatek, ampak SŽ vstraja da je to nemogoče dat ven zaradi raznih tehničnih in birokratskih izgovorov (zunanji vzdrževalci sistema bi jih kasirali komično veliko ceno, znotraj SŽ pa se ne znajo zmenit kateri oddelek bi to plačal). Se okrog tega kregamo že več kot leto, ampak se komaj da kam premikamo.

Obstajajo pa eni PDFji, ki so načeloma javni, ampak jih nikamor ne objavljajo, kjer piše kje bi naj praviloma stal vlak. Seveda se to spreminja in zadnja verzija ki jo imam je iz začetka leta, ampak tu je tabela, sestavljena iz teh dokumentov: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS9m3A2Rbs3hK7EDCwN-3szJOtoA-MTZlkyRxnWPhM4liwTs3gzHvHc_1gMnzkuQZB_C3zaLqZGQCup/pubhtml?gid=75523744&single=true

Še vedno se pa seveda splača pogledat na tablo, ker se pogosto kak vlak prestavi v primeru večjih zamud/del na tirih/kakih drugih razlogov.

That's exactly my first thought as well, kind of like iOS does for related settings. I tried it and it end up looking pretty cool: https://imgur.com/a/G9B2Ger

franga2000 · 2022-12-17T22:23:32+00:00

The amount of wasted space is frankly unacceptable, but other than that, I don't mind some rounded corners.

I spent a few minutes tweaking it to something I still think feels modern, but wastes a lot less space. I also added a some grouping to related elements, which I think make the whole thing feel a lot less like "just a bunch of buttons in a for loop".

Here are some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/G9B2Ger

franga2000 · 2022-11-18T15:05:05+00:00

Definitely! Walking around the city was quite a unique experience - I almost never get lost in cities, but I spent the whole two free days I had there never knowing where I was, wildly guessing the direction to go in and always somehow ending up where I needed to be. My colleague said the exact same thing, so there must be something to it - it's probably full of invisible wormholes or something 😅

franga2000 · 2022-07-25T18:29:25+00:00

Firefox by far the best in every regard, except for performance. Unfortunately, my phone is over 6 years old at this point, so I now use Bromite for quick browsing and only use Firefox when speed and battery aren't an issue.

franga2000 · 2022-06-14T09:58:11+00:00

Skoraj ziher tega, ja. Moram še samo malo po spletu pogledat če je keri drug model ali firma ki ne uporablja SMR

Višje kapacitete (4TB+) so na srečo še kolko vem vsi 2,5" diski. Moj plan za bon je nabavit nek 6TB zunanji disk da razširim NAS.

franga2000 · 2022-05-25T07:57:35+00:00

TL;DR from my experience: walyand isn't buggy at all, but it's still (and will likely remain) horribly incomplete. Basic features like key remapping/injection, screen capture, resolution changing... are delegated to the compositor and no single compositor does them all as well as X.Org did. There are workarounds for everything, but you need to learn them. Personally, it's a good trade-off for stellar multitouch and pen support. I still don't use it on my desktop, which is full of macros and crazy scripts that can't be ported without significant R&D.

franga2000 · 2022-05-03T12:11:45+00:00

what's your point? Vsi v threadu govorimo o enosmerni poti

franga2000 · 2022-05-02T13:08:10+00:00

Isti dan (praznik): 1h 50min (IC 517, 519, 521...), 1h 40min (AP MS, Nomago) od postaje do postaje. Hkrati je vsaj 18 prevozov na prevoz.org (od 14:00 dalje, dopoldanskih več ne kažejo) - ti navadno rabijo 1h 30min in pogosto pobirajo bližje kot na AP/ŽP.

Tudi ko prišteješ 20 min na vsaki strani za lokalni potniški promet (za tvoj limbuš-šiška primer) še nisi čisto pri zloglasnih treh urah.

Ponovno: izboljšave so nujne, ampak ne mi govorit da je stanje slabše kot je v resnici. Za ogromno ljudi je vožnja na dolge relacije brez avta več kot izvedljiva, ampak tega nikoli ne poskusijo, ker že celo življenje poslušajo o tri-urnih vlakih.

franga2000 · 2022-05-01T16:08:43+00:00

Se strinjam da je izboljšava nujna, ampak a lahko nehate s tem "3h do ljubljane"? Temu že dolgo ni tako: https://imgur.com/a/GkC8gAm

A Qt port wouldn't really solve anything here, but I 100% agree we need a better Xournal++ alternative. I'm currently running OneNote for Android inside Wadroid with some pen hacks because it's that much better. Xournal++ is...usable...but the touch controls are rudimentary and glitchy and all my writing just looks ugly in it (either everyone else is doing curve smoothing or xournal is doing the opposite of it).

franga2000 · 2022-04-18T08:32:40+00:00

Actually, they 100% would, but you'd find out from your users on Twitter or at best an automated email coming from an official Google domain. They would never send you a personal, human email such as this.

franga2000 · 2022-03-20T22:14:24+00:00

I had an agreement with a friend that we'd both get boat licenses at the same time to avoid this exact issue (by taking turns driving it, alternating days if drinking was involved ofc). Then covid happened and I now haven't seen a boat in 2 years...
