They are so much fun. On a related note I've broken my wrist twice since discovering that.

You can get similar power consumption.

As for gpio... Add a Pico as a USB pass-through for a few bucks.

This article was trending at the time. On hackernews I think.

I really did get the $40 price for an m600 like he mentioned in it.

Seriously. I was thinking about one for a home theater pc a bit ago. Bought a used thinkcentre off ebay for $40 instead. Much better performance and price.

As I learned in engineering school...

"Any idiot can build a bridge which doesn't fall down. It takes an engineer to build a bridge which bearly doesn't fall down"

I'll chime in... I have a backhoe and I assure you I've never had any training.

I'm sure they would if I asked. I could probably even guess it as the sharing was already both ways with other services.

We would still be in the same problem with Netflix blocking other locations though.

I had the opposite experience. I canceled and then my moochers signed up for their own.

I've had fantastic success spraying around my home with insecticides. Primarily treated for ticks but great on mosquitos too.

Primarily with bifenthrin. Not affiliated with that supplier.

For flying insects you need to spray on the leaves of nearby trees so you really do need a mist blower. Or have a local company do it.

I don't want to block them over the bad stuff they are probably going to do. Why not just wait and see what they do then block if needed? Defederation now is clearly taking a curation stance on what we all see.

I'm actually hoping it takes off. There is content on Facebook I would like to read but I cannot agree to their TOS. If they let it federate out that's great. I would never be willing to make an account on there.

I don't see any sensitive content they get from us that's not publicly posted anyway.

It sure looks like it works to me. His video channel shows a number of shots out of it too.
