But why would you pay by bank transfer? Why not pay (contactless) with your phone/wearable/regular card?

It's basically a SEPA transfer as they already exist, except instant. I'm not sure how Poland would fit into this exactly as the press release specifically mentions payments in euro, not zloty.

Dutch banks have supported instant payments for a couple of years now, and the way person to person payments are most often done is through something called a "Tikkie" which involves sending someone a payment URL (via any messaging platform or a QR code) which then opens their own banking app on their phone.

We already have standardized voltages, they're a defining feature of each chemistry. What Makita markets as 18V batteries and DeWalt calls 20V are actually the same battery with the same voltage range.

And regarding combining a 12V 1Ah pack and 80Ah pack together to create a 24V pack, you would end up with a 24V 1Ah pack, as by that time the first pack will have been emptied and you need to recharge it, while the other pack still has 79Ah remaining.

The device only has to support those voltage when it can source the matching power profile (i.e. 140W). But usually if you have to be able to generate two different voltages, it's not much more effort to make three or ten, as long as all the components can deal with the higher voltage.

This was already a thing with USB PD 3.0 called Programmable Power Supply (USB PD PPS) which can request between 3.3 and 21V in 20mV steps

In this case the fault lies somewhat with Rockstar. When you decide to move from playing GTA V on console to PC for example, you still lose your online progress with no option to transfer after Rockstar shut down transfers in 2016.

The author mentions Sea of Thieves and Mindustry, but I think Factorio is worth a mention too (seemingly as usual when something game related comes up on HN). They do TDD and talk about their automatic tests in several blogs:

> The lurch when the transmission shifted during launch was too hard on the transmission, and many of them broke under warranty. Tesla had to replace many transmissions. It was easier to fix the problem on the electric side than the gear side.

Seems to me this was more a problem with Teslas build quality or design, because the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT have a two speed gearbox. From when I drove the e-tron GT this shifting was almost completely imperceptible, no lurching of any kind even when launching it in sport mode. If you're driving in anything other than sport mode the car will spend most of its time in second gear anyways, not even using it from a standstill.

> I just got so sick of the constant pain of certificates.

I've honestly never had any sort of "constant pain" by using nginx and acme.sh. Certbot is an actual abomination.

I have a script just as a shortcut for these two commands:

    acme.sh --issue --dns dns_cf -d "$1" -d "*.$1"
    acme.sh --installcert -d "$1" -d "*.$1" --certpath /foo/$1/cert --keypath /foo/$1/key --fullchainpath /foo/$1/fullchain --reloadcmd "/usr/local/bin/docker-compose -f /foo/docker-compose.yml exec -T nginx nginx -s reload"

You just have to run those commands once per domain and it'll keep that wildcard certificate valid forever, acme.sh sets up a cronjob to renew the cert when needed and will automatically reload my nginx container after.

>As expected, it's held back by the massive power consumption of PC hardware.

Massive power consumption.. ? I've never seen it report more than 20W being discharged from the battery (this is easily found in the menu) even during gaming

>I wonder how easy it is to write software with it.

I'd call it borderline unusable for that unless you use a physical keyboard with it

I've had my deck since launch and have gone through several OS updates, it's not super common but I wouldn't call it relatively rare.

The only reason I noticed every update is because it kept wiping the screen keyboard I installed, because I couldn't get the built in one working at first. It wasn't until later that I found out the actual steam client has to be running in the desktop environment for the built in keyboard to work.

Assuming John Deere suddenly complies with the GPL, then what? The kernel source code is a tiny fraction of the actual software that makes up the entire product, and as far as I know no where does the GPLv2 require you to provide build instructions, let alone a way to flash new software?

>who made those Android devices with such short-lived eMMC chips?

Asus/Google did, the Nexus 7 would brick itself after a 2-4 years from failing/worn out eMMC flash.

Am I the only one here using Chrome or is everyone else just ignoring the table being broken? The author used an <object> tag which just results in Chrome displaying "This plugin is not supported". I'm unsure why they didn't just use an iframe instead.

I'm assuming the firmware is cryptographically signed, because they have to upgrade from untrusted devices. That negates this entire attack vector.

On that subject, I (a European) went to the US last week. It was time to pay at a restaurant in their needlessly complicated way where they hand you the bill, you return them the bill with your card and then they return once more for you to fill out the tip. Shortly after the second step the waiter returned apologizing, saying they could not bypass the PIN on the card like they normally could (which was slightly startling to me) and asked if I could come with them to enter it on the payment terminal myself.

I'm very happy that in the Netherlands we have tweakers.net. Not only do they do tech news and reviews, they also have an amazing parametric search/price watch tool that I'm reasonably sure is a major contributing cause to how competitive pricing is here compared to neighboring countries. Every time I happen to use Amazon I die a little inside because of how bad their search is.

I would argue that any old 256/512MB first gen Pi would suffice, and those are easily found second hand. Not everything involving a Pi requires an 8GB Pi 4 model. Most things involving a Pi don't even require a Pi.

Interesting, I'm Dutch and never even had them open a single package. Without doing that I'm not even sure how they would check for any markings.

The device is only really meant for low voltage measurements to begin with, as you can see in the specifications below it's only rated for +-40V inputs. They get away with it because by using a x10 probe (which attenuates the signal 10:1) which means while you can now measure +-400V, the device itself will still only see +-40V and the software will correct the readings.

I feel like you're severely overestimating how much inspection is actually done by customs for consumer imports. I've imported dozens if not hundreds of similar products/devices that could be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing and are certainly missing any required certification and never had so much as a peep other than the occasional request for an invoice so they could charge import fees.

Also in this case if you scroll down to the spec sheet the mains voltage measurements are done with a x10 probe, meaning you'd only get ~23 volts out. Obviously that won't prevent user error from leaving the probe at x1, but at that point the device would most likely destroy itself before you can even touch it anyways.

I'm curious where OP got that idea from too. Compared to full blown PCs sure the idle power draw is tiny, but it will still drain an average powerbank in a few days at most.

You could fully shut down the Pi (which would require some external hardware or user input to wake it up again) but even then compared to usual low power electronics drawing microamps in deep sleep, the milliamps the Pi slurps up is a lot. It would probably last a few weeks, maybe months in this state, but it would also take 30+ seconds to boot every time you need to do anything.

> Although, relative to ICE racing, the bar is low.

You do realize the actual ICE emissions dwarf in comparison to the whole picture right? If you take Formula 1 for example, they run 20 cars that will each burn through about 200-300kg of fossil fuel per race weekend. Even so, the actual emissions from the cars only accounts for 0.7% of the total CO2 emissions of a whole season of F1. Almost half the emissions are just from transporting equipment from race to race (via air, sea and land). About a quarter is transporting the personnel. Almost all of these still apply to Formula E.

Correct, that's what I do as well. I meant if you actually use 10.x.x.x:8096 to access your Jellyfin instance

I believe this might be caused by Google. Chromecasts will only cast from URLs that have a valid HTTPS certificate (self signed will not work). If you're accessing your Jellyfin over the local IP it will be impossible to get a valid certificate for it.

A long time ago I switched to WizTree, which does the same thing except it basically only takes ~5 seconds to do it for an entire drive.

The page seems to be a direct copy of a German article[1], possibly machine translated. The original German article has a single paragraph with the laptops which seems to have been butchered when it was copied.

The boot process you describe is a side effect of using external flash. Microcontrollers with internal flash like the STM32 will just start executing at a certain memory address depending on which boot mode is selected.

I'm curious what you think made the STM32 worse however, as in my experience they have good documentation and good options for the development software (and also a few not so good ones)

It says "USB broken out" which means the pins are available, you need to connect your own cable or port though.

It's also a microcontroller, which in general don't output video signals at all. You might be confusing it with a Raspberry Pi.
