elvecinodeabajo··on Quit whining about Apple and just stop using them
Apple a monopoly? Letting Google become the monopoly? Once again Linux is forgotten in the scene and Linux community means nothing. Stop taking profits as a reference, there's a world beyond your iPhone.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: How do I reach making $1-1.5k/mo in 13 months?
Totally troll comment. Zero trusting in your words.
elvecinodeabajo··on “Huh” exists in all human languages, according to research (2019)
The "hmm?" is the "word" that's shared by all human languages, not "huh".
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: How do I reach making $1-1.5k/mo in 13 months?
I can't believe it. Literally.
elvecinodeabajo··on Astrophysicist gets magnets stuck up nose while inventing coronavirus device
If there's a microcontroller on the project it could take the high voltage as OK and the drops as the "get your hands out of your face" signal. There's no need to put the buzzer right there, it could be in another output of that uC. But I think this article's great deal is: "Should boredom be considered as a people's health risk?" I think it does.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: Would you ever pay for a browser?
I won't use any closed source browser.

Paying for it sounds like a joke.

elvecinodeabajo··on Feeding Plants Artificial Sweeteners (2010)
It looks quite obvious that saccharin isn't good for plants, but it's good to have results of a simple experiment to demonstrate it. Good work! Thanks a lot!
elvecinodeabajo··on Why do people hate vegans?
No problem with vegans. Big problems with people who talks all day about being vegan or a gluten free diet.

There's no need to say "I'm vegan" everywhere everyday.

elvecinodeabajo··on Daily blue light shortens lifespan, causes brain neurodegeneration in Drosophila
Big clickbait. I don't care about my LED screens damaging flies brains, my fly-trap makes a very bigger damage.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
I've a Raspberry Pi 3B hosting my NextCloud instance. That's the coolest thing I'm doing now with it.
elvecinodeabajo··on STM32 Open Source Multimeter
Wow. Analog ultimeters are hard rocks if you take some cautions when handling it. Starting from the highest range and going to a lower one if it's too big must be enough.

Mine one is a cheap 35 euros analog multimeter and it's working fine since the last 12 years.

Just be careful and pay special attention when handling electricity.

To loss the fear just experiment with some safety and take measurments. You can let plugged a new project during some hours to look if it makes nasty things or not.

Anyway, I really encourage you to doing DIY projects at home. Most of them work in low voltages between 5 and 3.3V, risks are close to nothing.

Didn't feel 120V, but 220V is a weird experience. It's not the spiky puncture of a car's spark plug, it's like a scary wave flowing through you. As cool as deadly. (Kids, don't try at home!)

Oiga! Yo le subo wifi, usted baje unas chelas fresquitas! :p

My bad! I was a bit drunk when posted that. I was talking about viewing the sine AC wave in the scope. Didn't try yet but I expect a funny smelly 'poof' and mainline fuses pop up. Probably my curiosity will finish blowing everything up just for confirmation. lol

You talk like you trust quite much in Digilent. I'll keep it in mind when looking for some instrumentation. Thanks a lot!

elvecinodeabajo··on STM32 Open Source Multimeter
The safety! Safety is the most important part in my opinion.

I've bought a DSO138 DIY Oscilloscope Kit clone in eBay and I'm scared to connect it to 220V main line because I've not reliable information or safety warranties (It's a clone, not the DYE Tech certified one).

Not everybody cares about safety as they should.

Like yours?
elvecinodeabajo··on Horns are growing on young people’s skulls. Phone use is to blame
You're totally right.
elvecinodeabajo··on Security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 67.0.4 and Firefox ESR 60.7.2
It's awesome how downvoters flag things they don't understand, like the notification of an error. Childish behavior.

elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: What password manager do you recommend to friends and family?
Isn't an irony to worry about 'closed source' in Apple's iOS?
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: What password manager do you recommend to friends and family?
I really love KeePass. I don't feel comfortable with 3rd party cloud services. There are also apps for Android and iOS to work with KeePass databases. It's everything easy.
elvecinodeabajo··on The CIA Spied on People Through Their Smart TVs, Leaked Documents Reveal (2017)
My Samsung SyncMaster T27B300 is a good example. LED TV without "Smart" software.
elvecinodeabajo··on The CIA Spied on People Through Their Smart TVs, Leaked Documents Reveal (2017)
There are LED 'dumb' TV's.
elvecinodeabajo··on George Orwell's 1984 is our world today
We can talk about it, but many people can't. Let's talk about them.
elvecinodeabajo··on George Orwell's 1984 is our world today
Didn't read. I'll write down the title to remember it and try to read it soon.

Thanks!

elvecinodeabajo··on George Orwell's 1984 is our world today
Not at all. For me it's like a mix of 1984 and Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World'.
elvecinodeabajo··on The Thing
The great old engineering mantra: 'If it works, don't change it'.
elvecinodeabajo··on Hacking My Mother’s Phone to Save Her Memories
There's no reason to snoop on a dead person's personal data. It's a backstab to privacy.

Nothing to be proud of.

elvecinodeabajo··on The Thing
I think it stills classified because it stills being in use.
