I think SimpleX is the only one that fits that.
Sadly, the developers started crypto NFTish integrations last year. It is still too early to see if their use of it will end up being good or a slippery slope into crypto scams.

How useful is it if the data or equations aren’t good?
The VO2max estimation they use is based on heart rate vs Pace data correlation. It is directly correlated to heart rate sensor accuracy. As QualifiedScientist on YouTube has found with his statistical comparison testing vs a polar H10 chest strap, many, MANY watches are <90% accurate with heart rate. Fitbit also has a ton of barely-accurate devices.
The Garmin algorithm has actually been studied multiple times and has around 5-7% error
Apparently fitbit VO2max hasn’t been studied, but anecdotal data by people doing a lab test to compare give quite bad results. 4-49% error! That is pretty much useless. There are also claims that fitbit uses BMI to estimate it which adds even more error.
Fitbit’a implementation seems similar to the bullshit recovery indexes, stress levels, and 2-4 degrees of abstraction metrics…


FYI, there is like a 99% chance that reddit doesn’t actually delete your data if you delete your account, even the comment scramblers only help vs bot scraping. Reddit likely has comment history in their databases.


I also did that in university. I somewhat recently learned that there are many different fire ratings. These small ones are usually rated for lower temperature “fires” for <30 minutes. In a real-life fire scenario, only 30 minutes under heat is almost never going to be the case, it would likely be 90 minutes or something and higher temperature on the higher floors like an apartment.


If you are looking for fireproof safes, these types technically don’t let the flame in, but they get so hot that the documents turn to dust apparently. You generally need a lot bigger safe to be able to be thick enough to disperse heat
For theft, you also need a super heavy or bolted down safe or they will just take the whole safe.
Safes Re expensive stuff, sadly.


They should be the default for solar installations and grid-level storage, but are too new.
They can also replace lead-acid batteries for many applications.
Lithium will still rule microelectronics and wearables, but all lower density stuff should switch to sodium.
That being said, for cold environments like Scandinavia and the US Midwest & canada, sodium ion works better in both cold and heat swings than Lithium variants that it might be worth the tradeoff in capacity because in the long cold months, the reduced capacity and performance of lithium chemistries would completely close the gap anyways.


It isn’t open source hardware. It is license-free IC architecture.
The hardware will still be closed source in 99% of cases, but the architecture is “open” and can be used without licensing, lowering the barrier to entry for making CPUs (it is still very high as volume is the name of the game at fans. Tapeouts for testing a design can be €1k on the very cheap end, often more like 10K+)
A step in the right direction for sure, but open source IC designs are still quite limited.


Like the other person said, it can still be very nice and useful!
However, modern (even cheap) DMMs have some quality of life or useful features like auto ranging, diode measurement, capacitor measurement, max/avg/min functions, duty cycle, etc… Like the standard low budget ANENG AN8008. And this one is certainly better quality than the cheap stuff.
Though the continuity sensor for that meter being able to select sensitivity levels is quite nice. Most multimeter’s simply use “banana plugs” so you can’t go wrong and can always use standard lab wires (that are readily available)…


It often gives incorrect maps simply because of update schedule and them encouraging not reporting construction <3 months or whatever.
We have construction all over in Belgium and tons of detours such that it makes open street map pretty much unusable as it will just incessantly reroute you to a blocked path even after you are well on a different route.


Because America runs off of shirking responsibility to blame someone else: using precedents as loopholes to not have to argue a case.
1 state does it: 25 others follow suit immediately and it gets insta-passed because “there is a precedent”. See: flock cameras, Bibles in schools, book banning, abortion banning, sweeping climate protection rollbacks, etc… Once one does it, the rest of the cowards use it as a shield like children: “B-B-But theeey doooo iiiit!”


I dunno man, my farmer works from 6h to 23h with barely a break in between, only eats when he absolutely needs to or is going to fight ghosts alone to get sprinklers to ease the work just a little, and maybe has a couple days of talking to people or going to the arcade per season lol.
Relaxing for the player, maybe not for the farmer themselves.
Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.
If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.


My girlfriend has an A52 and her dad had an A23 (or whatever 3rd gen low-tier but not the cheapest).
Both of them regularly, from day 1 have lost cellular signal or 4G/5G signal, and my girlfriend even had to get a new sum card because the A52 simply refused to use it and she was “stuck” in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no map and no cellular to call someone because of her Samsung phone.
They both barely worked as a phone for a long time. My xperia 5ii had a problem of losing 4G every once in a while until I turned airplane mode on and off again.
My point is that most phones, regardless of manufacturer, have shit signal or intermittent cellular problems, that vary from device to device. n=1 anecdotes are a pretty bad metric of saying whether a phone is good or not. Manufacturers should be required to publish standardized volume testing.
Not to mention that all new Samsung’s come with forced Israeli spyware that you can’t uninstall.


The US does the same thing too, just in the past year.
The US government banned ICE gestapo surveillance apps and apps that would bring the community together and warn of incoming kidnappings, also a video aggregation app or something for documenting ICE crimes.


Yeah my favorite electronics hobby supplies website has started to take 2-10 seconds to load. Still great service and the best selection of modules in my region though. They should really throw Anubis in front of it.
Wouldn’t the only really possible “cleanse” be something like water fasting or similar since you wouldn’t be taking in more of the so-called “toxins” (well I guess it does technically exist like alcohol but that gets metabolized)?


I always do LVM now. Virtual partitions are the way to go, personally.
The amount of times that the root partitions have been 20-25GB but have still gotten completely full such that updates break… Well I could count it on one hand but still difficult enough that I would rather just use virtual partitions, especially on a server.
I did this a few years ago.
Maybe the best option is to create an entirely new prefix in Heroic and install battle.net via their “run installer first” button. Via Winetricks GUI you can install the 2 fonts or whatever that the lutris script installs.
Then, copy the game files of StarCraft 2 or WoW or whatever to the new prefix program files.
Then, in battle.net, it will either auto-detect the game, or you can go through the “search for games” flow in settings.
That should work, it is always better to have a fresh prefix as it takes almost no space. Once everything is copied you can simply delete the old one.
No idea, but it wouldn’t be something I was willing to stake precious documents on.
