Yup, be there to steal the ideas on why they become successful

Sounds like baseless theory

It might be interesting project to add BT speaker instead of ripping whole thing out. Just put a relay to the speaker that switches to the BT receiver when it is enabled and back to old radio when it is powered down

If you're not using proprietary software but common programming languages and OSS tooling there should be no difference.

"but please continue paying us anyway"

lmao, what an utter fucking disappointment of a company

Technically, if it is just "a fancy SDR" and not some hardware dedicated just for WiFi

I'm sure random passerby is great information on how to configure network equipment /s

I think he's bullshitting even on API costs to maintain. They could just put it into reddit premium "want to use API ? Pay few bucks and use app of your choosing". Even $2 would easily cover the cost of lost ads and such. Then a much more expensive tier above for "data ingestors".

[1] There are options, but honestly I never seen the point for small boards. There just seem to be rarely the case where setup and fiddling with settings is all that faster than just routing few dozen traces.

I guess if I wanted to route something like big keyboard with a bunch of leds, but overall routing PCB is just such small overall part of the project that I just play some podcast in the background and play the PCB puzzle/sudoku challenge.

But then I like going back and forth and even changing schematic a bit to make routing nicer.

Isn't scripting API de-facto way to do bulk stuff for KiCAD.

But yeah saying it is as advanced as Altium is a stretch.

"Good enough for all but the most advanced high-speed stuff" is probably better description.

name it negyek

I'm still annoyed that doing simple "here is a hex hole, multiply it in 10x12 grid" takes so fucking long in FreeCAD...

I think there is tooling to load stuff from KiCad to FreeCAD, then you can take care of any mechanical stuff there.

If you never made a PCB you probably want a tutorial just to get the basics right and not learn them once you already made mistakes and send it to manufacturing.

Think the point is that they have a base of accounts on "established" e-mail providers vs some one-off domains.

You could just have a *@wildcard e-mail addresses, you don't need to have one in specific established e-mail domain for any of those use cases.

[x] doubt

From my experience once setup it's pretty much "touch never aside from updates" type of deal. I had one stack based off influxdb for 5+ years, now changed the backend for victoriametrics (mostly because a lot of stuff supports prometheus-likes), and again, not much touching after setup.

But I did similar stuff for work so I already had the skills.

I've found VictoriaMetrics all-in-one binary to be perfect size for home at the very least for metrics gathering.

Supports Prometheus querying and few other formats for ingesting so any knowledge bout "how to get data into prometheus" applies pretty much 1:1 + their own vmagent is pretty advanced. Not related to company in any way, just a happy user.

IIRC grafana cloud requires to use their importer which was a no-start for me.

Also 14 days retention is not useful for home, I want to know temperature and power stats from last winter, not from last 2 weeks.

Even the "first paid" tier contains only 13 months of retention

I just used VictoriaMetrics all-in-one binary for home stuff + grafana as visualisation

What "cad drawings?" it's standard pinout bare board, as long as you use like, a chip and not 10 it will fill

The problem appears to just be "it's too expensive to run" at least according to the banner

We just need to convince normies to stop buying every stupid gadget

... so yeah, we're doomed

I thought I imagined it being worse but yeah...

The point of a bonus is to motivate worker to give their best.

But if they are already doing that (say, they are making a video game and it is their passion), work extra hours, and on top of that get their bonus cut coz of nothing they can reasonably affect, that just kills morale

Might as well just say "ok now GET can have body" instead of all that noise

Can't bullshit people who specialize at calling the other side's bullshit.

Not that there can't be use for it,I'm sure it could work as great assisted search engine if it was made to cite sources.

So can POST. It's entirely redundant
