daviddumon··on LG denies TV spying claims, says tracking and snooping concerns 'not true'
Well, this problem was solved for years ago : only use TV as a dumb screen, never ever connect it to Internet. Solved. Only use smart devices for content that you "trust" (if that's even possible in 2026 for any of them ...).
daviddumon··on Bring Back the SE
That's it, I just replaced my old iphone 6 for a refurbished SE. It's a shame, really. I don't mind paying the iphone 11 pro max price for something that hold in my hand, but apparently the market disagree.
daviddumon··on U.S. users are leaving Facebook by the millions, Edison Research says
Exact same thing for me ! I uninstalled both twitter and facebook app when I realized they were faking notifications for me to open their apps, since I guess they need that for their DAU bs. Since then, I check twitter once a week in a browser mode, and facebook once a day with the firefox container.
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks, very interesting!

In my mind, it was something like that :

Flexible batteries you can embad in a tissue wristband for example. But I don't know if it's possible to do so.

Thanks for the link I will check it out asap.

daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Yes, like a fitness tracker but with tissue. I don't even know if it's possible to combine lithium batteries and tissues :/
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
I guess I got a lot to learn before answering the requirements question :/ Thanks for the link !
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Will check this out! Thanks for the link
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks for the feedback. My product will be even simplier, in that I don't need sensors, but it has to programmable somehow
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
I did not think about that :( That's sound advice!
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Sure! I want to build a wristband that need a flexible rechargeable power source and to be programmed by bluetooth
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thank you, will explore that asap :)
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
That's actually a very good idea! There some fablabs in my local area, I will dig this way, thanks
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks for the resources, I didn't event know there was open source wearables! Will check asap
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks, will check this out asap!
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks for that, will sure get in touch once I figured out first steps to advance on this project!
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Well, I will start by googling every single term you used that I don't know yet : edp, rockpro64, etc ... :)
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Bookmarked! Will explore this asap :) Thanks
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
I've searched numerous times, but could not find anyone doing the thing I want to build. That's why I'm playing with the idea of doing it myself
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks for the link, I didn't know adafruit :) Will explore it asap
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Well, I'll try to keep up with my software career and explore the hardware side as a toy project for now :)
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
That's what I see as the simple first step, indeed :) Thanks for the input
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks, I'll check on this guy and his project
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks for your reply, very insightful. I will try to wrap my head around the first steps (like prototyping, and trying to find the right components), and see where it goes from there.
daviddumon··on Ask HN: I want to build an electronic wearable, where do I start?
Thanks for your comment. I want to make up my mind around what's needed to go through this project. I envision it as a toy project on the prototyping/layout side, then find partners for other steps. I guess there exists companies to outsource stocking and delivery.
daviddumon··on Ask HN: What is your best advice for a junior software developer?
Don't chase money, only focus on doing hard things that scare you at first (think: at the limit of what you're capable of), then change when you're done learning. Iterate for > 10 years.
daviddumon··on Apple Special Event [video]
Thanks, seems like I forgot to account for VAT in the french price.
daviddumon··on Apple Special Event [video]
Could someone enlight me on the EU prices ? US has the 5.8 Xs 64go model listed for $999. Eu price for the same model (french store) is 1159€ ... According to xe.com, current USD/EUR rate is 0.8599, so $999 => 859€. It seems to me that they've applied the inverse rate : 1159*0.8599 = 996. What am I missing there ?

I second this recommandation. This book was really a good help setting up webpack for the first time.
