This is sooo true. I have multiple computing ideas that I want to do just for fun but I am not doing because each requires buying a mini-pc, sometimes with a screen too, and put Linux + my app on it.

At the same time I have multiple old phones laying around, Pixels, iPhones, Galaxy that are out of date, have cracked screens or worn out batteries.

Each one of these old phones have same or more computing power than a $300 mini-pc, but I can't use them because I can't just ssh into them and install an app...

Sad, really.

Another +1 from me at 62 years. My problem is this has led to me feeling like I am tech lead for a team of a dozen excellent developers, but I have no task for them!

Yeah we had a good laugh when Downdetector was down during the Cloudflare outage yesterday. So this is appropriate. +1

I can imageine that. Although not using Channel Sounding, as it has a accuracy of +/- 200mm according to TFA. Which is still very good, though.

I wonder why when swipeing between the two sides of the disc it always appears convex from the currently viewed side, but flat when viewed edge on.

Anyone knows what could cause this?

I would question whether a PWM "technically" counts as digital... It is on and off, sure, but so is a mechanical power switch, which few would describe as digital. "Digital" is more when we get higher level values represented by multiple signals that are on or off (aka bits).

Totally agree. Dashboard felt like a thorn in the eye.

Sounds like a PERFECT chip for my next HomeAssistant box :-D

- Low power when only idling through events from the radio networks

- Low power and reasonable performance when classifying objects in a few video feeds.

- Higher power and performance when occasionally doing STT/TTS and inference on a small local LLM

Strong typing built in from the start. More approachable syntax (unless you are used to Ruby).

Maybe the white on top of their heads IS their hair? And Papa smurf was old and bald and used a hat to blend in.

The FLOSS tool https://drawdb.vercel.app/editor has been here on HN several times. IMHO also does a somewhat better job.

Don't forget Gleam! It is young, but has a less steep learning curve than Erlang/Elixir. And it is strongly and soundly typed, with errors as values.

Maybe launched a bit too quickly? You can select "Swedish" for the non-Swedish voices, but the results are very poor. Far from useable. And there is no Swedish voice. So that language support claim is made a bit to soon I would say.

Also I found no way to filter/sort the voice selection modal on language, so I have to visually search the entire list.

I passed the "Not like we would not have 150 tons of liquid Helium here" statement off as a joke until I got to the end and realized the author was NOT just another clock renovating hobbyist :-)

Thanks for an enjoyable read!
