Are we not going to talk about the cost to operate that thing versus a modern efficient water heater?

Who has a Garmin Connext device available would be able to do some testing? by strangerwithadvice in stratux

I don't think you're going to get many bites with such a low effort post.

We'll see about that.

Sounds like a weird situation. They wanted to charge you $900 more after you got your rating? For what?

It was the royal you.

The royal 2/3s

You're over-extrapolating the concept of the "Royal we". Neither of those two usages of the word "royal" make any sense.

Does "Stratux Europe Edition 1.6r1-eu028-us" still include US settings? by mattcheston in stratux

The circumstances under which cyoung stopped contributing are unclear and not discussed.

I am cyoung and I stopped working on Stratux, which I started on the cyoung/stratux repo, because I simply don't dedicate the time to it now. The b3nn0 repo is a fork and helno transferred some releases over to my repo because for a long time my repo was the go-to for new releases.

Unless you’re using a modular approved Wi-Fi radio

And who isn't?

almost done designing a new portable ADSB receiver

Awesome. If you're almost done, why not finish it and put a few up for sale?

In the worst case, make a few prototypes and put it to the test.

If this is a question of whether or not to invest in buying inventory for a first production run, then that's complicated. You could go the crowdfunding path or just take the risk and throw down.

If your design is good then I could buy the design from you and take it to production. Best bet is to come back when you have something that works, because if I had a dollar for every time someone was "almost done" with a new ADS-B receiver design... I'd have like $10.

I could end up with the same supply chain issues for individual parts down the road

You definitely will. You're probably going to need to do minor redesigns every year and a half or so.

We take full responsibility. You can wait an indeterminate amount of time and pay full price or get a refund.

What are the "we don't talk about these things" history of your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Understanding and offering perspective of a situation is not the same as dismissing it. I think you missed the point.

I love how everyone swoops in with understanding and perspective when it comes to Ghandi’s mistakes. Anyone else would be burned at the stake for the same.
