I made this joke to people who work for AMD. I was a bit shocked that it hadn’t occurred to them :D

It always seemed like an amazing way to speed-run repetitive strain injury to me.

Anything that requires that level of precision but offers basically zero range of motion just seems to force unnatural levels of tension in every muscle in your hand and wrist.

The things cause me agonising wrist pain within minutes of use, not something I’ve experienced with any modern (ie, larger than the postage stamp sizes of old) touchpad.

Good riddance.

This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_mLxyIXpSY

And these boots… steel or composite toe?

Damn, that was a chonky update. 17GB download, 85GB of files touched.

The website also shows a large unpopulated section of PCB near the network jack with “PoE” silkscreened:

PoE built in could make this a very interesting device indeed.

I got into an argument with someone once about this, when they told me (paraphrasing) “it’s safe to drive listening to music through headphones, because they let outside sound in”.

Yes they indeed might, but - even ignoring delay introduced from digital electronics - you’ve now lost all sense of where that sound is coming from, because you’re listening to the sound of one microphone being played through one speaker.

The human ear really is an incredible thing.

Generally, you just need to export the pool with zpool export zfspool1, then import again with zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id zfspool1.

I believe it should stick after that.

Whether that will apply in its current degrated state I couldn’t say.

While I have a personal general rule against backing electronics on Kickstarter and would likely wait for it to be available at retail, I wouldn’t necessarily immediately discount this one.

It’s probably worth noting - mentioned in Jeff Geerling’s video - they had a MOQ of 1500 on the metal case, which likely forced them to be significantly further through the process than a lot of Kickstarters are at launch.

Indeed, you will note that they carefully chose the moniker “Daily Active Uniques” and not “Daily Active Users”.

I think that speaks volumes, as humans are definitely harder to retain.

It sounds like you’re thinking of LoRa, another 900MHz radio protocol.

LoRa has similar bandwidth to Zigbee (125kbps), and as you say is designed for low-power devices running on battery. I have PIR motion sensors at home which have used only around a third of their battery after 2 years.

Security cameras seems to be a large target market for HaLow though, where you need a couple of megabits at a few hundred metres.
