I don’t understand why Logitech did not add the free spinnig scroll wheel to the Ergo? It is hard to go back from that but the Ergo is overall an excellent mouse. I just wish it was wired…

Do you have any concrete products you can recommend for home tap water distillation? Searching for such a solution mostly yields DIY results for me.

The world map is hilarious. Germany sure does not look like this anymore (and this is not the GDR split but goes further back). Maybe they should update this. Draws into the question, the whole data.

Oh nice thanks for digging that up. I currently run Frigate (along with Home Assistant) on my HP Prodesk 400 with a 8th gen Intel i5 and the Coral USB. I wonder if it would run better with that Hailo-8 on my Pi5 with 4GB.

Looks like the Hailo m.2 accelerator costs $190 whereas I bought a coral accelerator for $55. So not exactly comparable.

Which of theirs is the most comparible to the flipper zero? Besides the cool looking Cardputer it is quite hard to make sense of their product lineup and compare features.

That case is even worse as it rested fully on the testimony of the other robber, which he made to get a lesser sentence and later rescinded:

> Prosecutors had no forensic evidence connecting Allah to the shooting. Surveillance footage at the store showed two masked men with guns, but they were not identifiable. The state’s case rested on testimony from Allah’s friend and co-defendant, Steven Golden, who was also charged in the robbery and murder. As their joint trial was beginning, Golden pleaded guilty to murder, armed robbery and criminal conspiracy and agreed to testify against Allah. Golden, who was 18 at the time of the robbery, said Allah shot Graves.

It is also workable if you have more than just a few files. I sync several GB of data, books, papers, notes, photos, videos, etc. Constantly changing and it has been pretty fast. Webdav is just the interface used for external services that support the protocol. Which may not be the best tech but it certainly is supported by many, many apps and services. I cannot connect a random e.g. pdf reading app with Syncthing and maybe not with Nextcloud directly but certainly via webdav.

I run my own nextcloud server now for over 5 years. There are some frustrations like the photo app which is uselessly slow. But for the files sync, contacts/calendar and some other apps it works well. It _does_ offer a million different things and some of those are half baked but the core functionality (a dropbox-like file storage) is decent in my experience.

Updates have never been an issue. And honestly I am always a bit surprised by that. I don’t update to a new version right away but when I’m ready, I change the version in the docker compose, pull, re-up the container. It performs the database migration and brings up everything. Never had an issue after using it for years. Not sure what your exact setup is, but it’s certainly not a nightmare to use.

That microscope is amazing. Commenters debate whether it costs 30k or more around 100k so it is further out of reach for most hobbyist.

A few years ago I had quite a lot of fun with one of those cheap $30 wireless USB microscopes with up to 1000x magnification that connects to some app. My family and I always came up with new ideas about what we should look at next. Incredible fun. Unfortunately it broke down rather quickly. But it opened up the world much more than traditional backlight microscopes I am used to. They are basically “just” specialized cameras with bright flash lights.

I wonder if prices have come down a bit and if there are good options out there for such a portable microscope that doesn’t break so quickly. Better quality and magnification in the $200 range?

Wait so the people were pulled into the magnetic field? Were they wearing ferromagnetic metal items that were pulled in? And what does that have to do with the vest that the patient is wearing? If that is ferromagnetic, would that not just simply be stuck inside the MRI?

How to tackle it?

To me there are either two ways: when you are trying to learn the thing XYZ you are seeking, drill down to the first thing you don’t understand and consult a lower level resource. Continue until you reach a level you understand. And the second way is: Re-learning “all” of essential math and then going back to XYZ.

I don’t think the second step is feasible, as you cannot possibly learn everything in a breadth-first kind of way until you are deep enough to learn the (now level-adjacent) topic XYZ.

But for strategy 1, the question is 1) how to identify the problem that you are lacking (e.g. how to isolate math gibberish into a concrete concept) and 2) how to find a good resource to learn and practice this concept at this level?

I do struggle with this and sometimes randomly learn some lower concept again but notice later it did not help me in the end and just left me with a million untied knots that were infeasible for me to entangle.

If the devices are on the same network I prefer LocalSend. It is cross-platform and there are phone apps. Works very well: https://localsend.org/

What I like for USB-C cables is not only a tester that tests how much power it can transmit but also what data rates. I wish I could get a device where I could plug in all my cables and it would rate them for me. Such a device probably exists and it probably costs thousands of dollars.

Here is hope that they will add a motherboard with the new Qualcomm arm chips in the future. Although I can already see that the whole architecture may be too different to make it fit?

The Kenwood machines are not more difficult to use. It literally has one knob and a pulsing setting. You flip the machine back to remove the bowl. Easy to clean. It is exactly the same handling. The Kenwood is build very sturdyly, build like a tank and gives has the additional power. It looks more ugly but is the better product. It is just that brand awareness of the KitchenAid trumps all.

Also the machine you mentioned is not sold in the US anymore. Afaik the only machine is the 800W Chef Titanium (which is what I have).
