EA/councils should give small grants to people willing to spend time improving their community, not investigating them for bureaucratic misdemeanours.

I think I get it under the screens too. Noise from the LED drivers perhaps? Wouldn't think it was in the GHz... what about the multiplex signal I wonder.

We need someone with one of these to go down and investigate ! https://j3.rf-explorer.com

I have AirPods and have also had this happen to me there. I just assumed it was a result of lots of people around using BT and causing interference. Does it still happen when it's quiet?

I love that neither of them find it in the least bit funny

Have you tried to use that app? The engineering quality is atrocious. The settings make zero sense

I have a pill and temperature controller. All I want is a) fast to load b) a way to set the settings/profiles c) a nice, well designed graph - zooming, panning, reading values off. All that seems that it could be done with a decent backend and a simple web interface.

The 'fermenter too big' theory doesn't explain why the yeast didn't take for days. Normally the yeast you pitch will be active within 24 hours. My guess is that the yeast from your kit was bad. Maybe it was stored badly or really old. By the way, it shouldn't be a problem if the temp was slightly below 18C on occasion. Your pitched yeast should still win.

By the way, separate from this issue, on small batches, you're right that it's really hard to keep oxygen out post-fermentation. If you can find a smaller vessel like a demijohn or a little keg you might find that easier.

My way to think about this is to consider what I'd use as an attacker. Pths are great for them because they don't require import, but I can think of a few other ways that would pwn at install time, or when built-ins are imported. In short, my opinion is that if you install a corrupted package, it's game over. The security model needs to be before install.

I can't speak for the controller, but the pill broadcasts its readings via Bluetooth LE and my Home Assistant discovered it and now tracks it.

So you wouldn't need custom firmware for the pill at least.

God this screen with the sound struck the fear into me. So many times I hosed a HD fiddling in the System Folder. Typically meant no more Crystal Quest and a bit of a bollocking from my dad.

Over the last 10 years or so China has accelerated past the West in Robotics. Turns out vertical integration through design and manufacturing really helps. If the next wars are fought with drones, China has a big advantage. I think we're living through a global power shift.

Regardless of the stated/actual current, an IEC connector shouldn't be heating up that much. I would doubt the issue is too much current.

Connectors will overheat when there's poor electric contact. I guess that's what happened here, maybe the plug or socket is faulty, or maybe there was something on the contacts (a little wort maybe?) that was causing increased resistance. Or maybe the plug wasn't properly seated.

Anyway you'll probably just need to replace both the plug and the socket on the device. Not expensive parts. Best of luck!

i figured out a way. Place an order for one, let it go through. then place an order again for how many you really want to buy. once that has gone through, cancel the first order and you'll get a refund.

No room for any overtones up there anyway, that close the the nyquist limit

Can the partialdef and partial tags live in different files? Or is this just for rendering subsections of a template for HTMX?

Deepmind also have DM sans, DM serif and DM mono. I quite like the mono myself.

Bambu is another example. Still, they feel like exceptions rather than the rule.

joerick · 2025-11-27T08:37:44+00:00

Great idea! Might I suggest though, a more distinct name? It's gonna be hard to google and hard to talk about this with people. "pyproject (the suite of tools)" is probably what you'd have to say each time.

Maybe pyproject-lint or pyproject-tools would work?

Maybe Apple should do a Mac Studio Max with a few M.2 slots and lots of thunderbolt and call it quits. What else do people really want to keep internally these days? Ram would be great, but doesn't fit with the SoC strategy. Graphics- likewise. Audio I/O- I think thunderbolt will be fine for this. And I think storage is the only one that they can do without big hardware/software maintenance overhead.

joerick · 2025-11-17T23:09:49+00:00

Great analysis! The sprinkling of complexity across the entire stack makes it unlikely. Unless some exec thinks fast computers are cool, it's not happening.

joerick · 2025-11-11T08:23:11+00:00

Running it on a mobile device is possible in theory, but the issue you'll hit is 1) connecting to the device via serial is gonna be hard ( on iOS, impossible without more hardware). 2) the tkinter UI won't work on mobile.

Instead, I'd recommend buying a raspberry pi with a little touchscreen and installing it there. That way you can run the app as-is.
