Trying to decide which anxiety DDC to look at first would give me anxiety lol.

I had to look it up:

152.4 Psychology > Perception, movement, emotions, drives > Emotions and feelings

155.5 Psychology > Perception, movement, emotions, drives > Psychology of young adults

616.8 Medical sciences and medicine > Diseases > Diseases of the nervous system and mental disorders

This is interesting, unlike the heltec v3 it has PSRAM so can support store and forward.

What a massive waste of money the whole “smart” meter farce is. In a decade 4g will be phased out and everything will need to be replaced again. Meanwhile my “dumb” meter is easily over 40 years old.

No problem.

The price is exactly why I went with a used v750 myself, it works well for scanning film.

For photos the epson v800/v850 seem to be the standard. You can also get the v700/v750 second hand and it’s just a bit slower.

so pretty much the opposite of one of those dyson “bladeless” fans.

So it just changed colour like that when you shot it with the laser without any other work? I assumed it was hot foil stamped when I first saw it.

I once heard an American saying, “God created men, but Sam Colt made them equal”, so perhaps the comparison to a gun isn’t that incorrect?

Wind farms? I have to admit I assumed solar would work better in the middle of a desert.

Why are we still relying on manufacturers for software updates?

I know there’s driver issues, but I’m pretty sure google could engineer android to at least allow direct security updates within the same android version. Google play services still provides updates for android 5. Even Yocto linux has opkg for updates.

20 years ago, no one owned a smart phone.

The handspring visor, one of the first smartphones, was released in 2000. I owned one, although a few years later and second hand.

It still works too, except the phone part is 1g only, so there’s no network for it any more.

Computers are just heaters that do maths as a side effect, so it makes sense. There’s even a company monetising the idea for ESG credits

Two issues i can see are

• Humidity in a grow room will be bad for a computer
• With modern computers the heat output will in part depend on the workload, so you will need to find a way to make the computer do more work when you want more heat.

I’ve heard good things about ploopy.

Altberg make shoes, I’ve not tried them but if the quality is similar to their boots they will be great.

Although they’re not technically in the EU any more since they’re made in the UK.
