The monetisation in AI summaries is probably on its way. Like an auction to be mentioned depending on the type of question eg “would you like me to put you in touch with a firm that can do this for you?”
I remember it didn’t work out well for Randolph and Mortimer. Sam may pull it out, though, if he just sells the DRAM now while the market is still hot.
Thanks for the replies - had a look and general feedback for the top two brands seems to be that the lid that holds the UV light breaks after a few months. They seem to be as effective as water purification tablets but right now the price is a bit steep for what you get.
This is a good question. You should be able to control multiple SPI devices at the same time, but that requires the CSX/CS ("Chip Select") pin to be present. The model I bought doesn't seem to have this feature, but someone found a hack [1]. I will add this info to the readme as you're really better off buying displays with CS if you're planning to control multiple tiny screens. [1] https://www.instructables.com/Adding-CS-Pin-to-13-LCD/
Originally I was just using it to display the IP addresses after reboot on a smaller 0.96" 80x160. Then a screen shot... then zoom. I'm thinking more about some QR code with basic sysinfo.
Also delivery timescales vary a lot. The worst are the ones claiming to ship from local warehouses and four weeks later you get an envelope from China. Basically they just con you on the wait period. But hey you can always go to a local shop and pay £20 for 16GB microSD card or USB cable.
I believe they did that for banks after the 2008 crisis, maybe it should apply more widely. But still I'm not sure it'd make a huge difference given the scale of disruption caused by a global shutdown like we're seeing as a result of covid-19.
Correct - the idea is mostly for ebay/amazon small packages, gloves, mobile phones and glasses (maybe even shoes though I don't see them as a big threat). Never directly applied to skin nor pointed at face/eyes; I'd probably use some tin foil to reflect part of the light, and use sunglasses as precaution though I need to check if they filter UV-C. Any ideas of sensors that could be used to measure W/cm2?
just pictured myself with a Darth Vader mask and a UVC portable sabre to kill covid-19... re-reading those specs "Measurements were performed on a high-frequency, current limited electronic ballast and represent average values at 1 meter" - this means the output could be considerable higher at a few inches and it'll take only a few seconds to sterilize small garments (and mobile phones). It could work.
I was thinking something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283782783926 or even this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J3EUJPA to build some kind of wand to sterilize packages or clothes as I walk through the door. Just checked your links - I'm surprised the output is super low: 48W only yields 120uW/cm2. Does it mean a 12W UVC lamp would yield ~30uW/cm2? In terms of virus sterilization, would I need to expose the surface to a 12W for 80sec to get the 2.4mWsec/cm2?
From the article: "ACE2 can also be increased by thiazolidinediones and ibuprofen. These data suggest that ACE2 expression is increased in diabetes and treatment with ACE inhibitors and ARBs increases ACE2 expression. Consequently, the increased expression of ACE2 would facilitate infection with COVID-19. We therefore hypothesise that diabetes and hypertension treatment with ACE2-stimulating drugs increases the risk of developing severe and fatal COVID-19."
