Because drones without explosives strapped to them are so effective.. not to mention they spend 99.9% of the time in storage with battery disconnected, so easy to make a bunch of them attack at the same time (because once people know the drones are malicious it’s game over for the attackers).

pure idiocy.


I just use a unique address for each service. Any email that gets leaked or is getting unsubscribe resistant spam is added to /etc/postfix/denied_recipients :)

Appending "+label" to the username part of an email address is legal and will be delivered to the username mailbox.

Doesn’t sound like a very fun hobby, TBH.

no the op, but I find great joy in looking though who sends me spam (based on the unique email used to sign up for each service)

I think it scratches a similar itch to putting up a game camera to see what sort of vermin are running around in your back yard.


You inevitably catch LexisNexis shitting in your herb garden and leaving squirrel carcasses lying about…

It has sleep current of 200microamps, so no longer than 40 days…

Blame STM. Those clones copy (..among other things) the naming convention from STMicroelectronics parts like stm32f103c8t6/stm32f103cBt6. Guess what's the only difference between those.

Oh, and .. since STM likes binning/product segmentation, there's a good chance that if you ignore the reported flash size and still try to flash the full 128K, it works on those models..


Treats are good and all but you will probably get better results with clicker training and splitting the job into simple parts. Fetch is pretty complicated and even dogs often have issues with it - our dog did just fine on the 'chase the toy' part - mostly due to strong prey drive - but then just ran away with it :). Took months to get it working.. Also cats usually lose interest quickly, so short sessions repeated more often will give better results.


Yeah I did clicker training for her to learn fetch and she know how to. She just seems to have zero association between the "fetch" word and action.


"no give, only throw"


> learning quickly, so their work quality is eventually higher than Cursor can work out in one shot.

This sounds almost word for word like The Onion’s classic: Secretary Of Labor Assures Nation There Still Plenty Of Jobs For Americans Willing To Outwork Robots

Wow. That is ... too painful and true to life to really be funny at this point. But, ok, still funny.

To be fair, I meant something a little different -- something like -- learn how to be a robot priest who can get it to follow the desperate prayers of humans. And, like, how to unstick the robot arm when it accidentally punches through a wall. Etc.

Not that that is particularly comforting, in an existential sense. Maybe buys you a couple years till you have to pivot again.


If "a couple of years until you have to pivot again" is all new grads have to hope for, they might as well forget it

Instead they should start learning how to shoot guns and build pipe bombs.


There are optoisolated mosfet modules available on aliexpress, or what exactly do you mean by “level shifters”? What’s your application?


Unfortunately, that doesn't really prevent companies from doing things being illegal if they turn out to be profitable enough. You could use a multispectral hidden camera and an mmwave radar fed into 'AI' to simulate a lie detector - you can definitely get pulse and breathing rate out of it, probably also perspiration..


Sure. And then someone who set that up will get fired and leak the scheme, and nudes from mmWave will be found, and it’s all lawyers and liability.


Not the GP, but any supported BLE sensor [0] with a Bluetooth proxy ESPHome node should work.

ESPHome isn't really Espressif exclusive, there's Beken support already, which most cheap Chinese IoT gadgets use nowadays. And there are 'made for esphome' products which is a safer bet than buying Sonoff and praying the ESP32 inside doesn't have its secure boot bits fused.
