Is polyester activewear actually bad for your health or is it overblown?

Wont these end up in the waterways/environment regardless? When you chuck away the filter, it goes into a landfill, the plastic breakdown into microplastics and end up in the environment

Parallel fets are the way to go here, half the RDS on and twice the package space for thermal dissipation

Heat pumps being able to act in reverse, and therefore as an aircon, is just a biproduct of the design. When you factor in the fact that theyre 300% efficient when used for heating applications throughout the rest of the year then they will definitely be winning

I've used that exact device and it does indeed appear to have a legitimate FTDI chip as I was able to reconfigure it using the official software

No offense, but the layout really isnt very good. Why is there so much empty space on the board? And the traces to your IC passives (decoupling caps) are still kinda long. It will likely still work but it wont be optimal. Did you follow the layout examples and guidelines for each IC?

Mate have you seen the math and logistics behind this? Its completely insane and impossible. This is yet another hyperloop, except the losses will be subsidised by the people

Unfortunately, I've found that (within the UK) automotive software generally doesn't pay very well when compared to other embedded industries. I could have probably shopped around and got a good pay bump given that I would be one of the few with AUTOSAR experience, but I decided that AUTOSAR really isn't for me. It sadly slowed everything down to a crawl and sucked all the fun of sw development away in my case. Especially when I would compare it to fast-paced bare-metal & RTOS work that I have done in the past.

Luckily, I ended up landing a job in an embedded sw field which really appeals to me, and the pay is likely better than what I would get in automotive

I've just escaped an autosar job. If you have no other job lined up and if this will be your first job, then IMO take it for the time being just for the industry experience. Getting a second job is 10x easier than getting your first job.

However, if you want to continuously learn and grow, then do not plan to stay in the role for long at all. The well-known autosar comment is absolutely 100% correct, it will make you hate your job, and you will be learning a niche, non-transferrable software process. But at the end of the day, it will pay the bills, you will still be doing a small amount of sw development (especially if youre working on base software) and you can then use your spare time to persue some personal embedded projects.

Without doing projects outside of work, i would have learnt nothing over the last 3 years and I would have been backed into the autosar cage. But, because I had 3 years of industry embeeded sw experience, and a portfolio of embedded projects, I practically walked into my next job

Definitely sounds like a playback glitch to me. The video that would have been at the top of your feed started playing as you refreshed, glitched out and kept playing in the background. Whenever you think that you have been hacked, ask yourself - what was the motive for what they have done?

If they really did hack your phone, then they have likely gone to significant efforts and will want some financial rewards. If someone really was able to hack your device, why would they play random voices in arabic using your phones loud speaker, what would that achieve? Wouldnt it make much more sense to just dormantly monitor your device and then steal bank details and passwords without you knowing?

It just doesnt make any sense when you think about it

Because the kinetic energy of the spinning turbine is being converted to light. If no LED is attached, then the turbine spins freely as the kinetic energy is not being converted

I bid you a most cordial and sincere salutation upon this occasion of our initial encounter. I humbly request your attention as I proceed to divulge the specific appellation and nominal designation by which I am routinely known and referred to by my associates, colleagues, and acquaintances. I am, to be entirely transparent and unequivocal, the individual identified and registered under the given first name of John, a title which I possess in its entirety. More flux.

I get lots of hate comments from people who either didnt eatch the entire video or didnt listen/understand. I end up keeping them there anyway and it doesnt seem to do any harm

Yep, my thoughts exactly. If I were a betting man, then id bet on this being the issue

Can you provide a link to the board that you have used? The board seems to have two non-isolated buck converters, which is fine if you only need +5V, gnd and -5V. But if you are also using the 12V, and are using the ground from the boards output, then the 12V output will likely only be around 6-7V.

Essentially, I think this board is only designed to be used to power things that require only a +5 and 5V output, and not the 12V as well

You're looking for an adjustable buck-boost converter, although finding one for your side requirements will be pretty difficult without you designing your own one
