Read the whole thing, good stuff. Would be great to expand on gateway, and maybe mention CRDs.

Did a high school project on the jam and replay attack mentioned here: https://github.com/trishmapow/rf-jam-replay. Low cost SDRs have been a real game changer in letting the average Joe get started in this space. Good to see that more unis have courses with this type of hands on experimentation.

Cinema cameras also have >14 stops of dynamic range that can be extracted in post.

Samsung has directors view which records front and back simultaneously. Would be surprised if flagship devices can't do this due to hardware limitations.

CloudFlare is better since you can type ping 1.1 which becomes 1.0.0.1

Article clearly says that "In Germany, drivers can legally use their cellphones while Drive Pilot is engaged, a first for semi-autonomous systems". However, you can't go to sleep.

This seems to be MakerDAO VAT contract, for those curious. At least it has comments explaining everything at the top.

uBlock Origin's element picker (not zapper - that's temporary) is your friend here. Works to get rid of basic overlays.

Private key of the 10 ETH wallet isn't accepted in MyEtherWallet. Other ones are pretty much empty, so maybe the site is caching the balances.

Same thing if you check page 1.

Perhaps something like this https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/forecast/multimodelense.... If you check the regular forecasts it also has a predictability figure.

Oh sure, but in my defence a simple Dob eq platform hardly requires any software, so 'open source' would be a strange thing to point out ;) A lot of the hard work is the custom PC software & getting it ASCOM compatible for autoguiding, etc.

Not quite - if they priced in all of the dev effort required to make the mount software compatible (ASCOM, etc) it would be much higher I think. From what I see, ensuring the 3D printed parts are up to spec and look good cosmetically requires a lot of time, not to mention manually wiring and flashing all the electronics.

I personally DIYed mine and it took a lot of tinkering to get a reliable setup. The kit is very well polished and uses the new NEMA steppers. As for pricing, I think it includes 20% VAT, which I assume is removed if you are not in the EU. I personally have spoken to the creator and they have tried very hard to make it as low cost as possible.

If you have a 3D printer and live in a country with decent hardware suppliers (not the case for me in Australia), then sure go ahead, DIY and save money. But for people who want an almost ready to go solution it's very well priced, considering commercial alternatives are well into 500+ for the feature set that this mount offers (GoTo, optional guiding down to 1" accuracy).
