I asked it for some OfficeScript to copy the current tab in excel rename it with this week’s date and set a few cells to the current date too. It gave me a 3 page script for the TV show The Office.

The cost will come down further with scale. The great thing about that is that dead lithium batteries will have value, so people will be much less inclined to throw them in the trash or dump them elsewhere

Why are they so light? Do they way less than high rated 18650 cells would be for the rated capacity? If so they are probably inflating the rating. As is shockingly common for no name powerbanks. There are very minimal usb boards you can load 18650s into, or attach quad copter cells to, 3d print your own minimal case that suits your needs with the highest capacity and quality cells you can afford.

It’s also nice to use up some of the older boards in my stash. Living in New Zealand I tend to keep a decent supply of parts as they are always time consuming to get. I’ve got a few too many 8266’s left still!

Yeah that was my original plan, I’ve got a handful of the tiny seed ones. But the Esphome easy setup for the Bluetooth repeater doesn’t support the c3 or anything newer. https://esphome.io/projects/ turns out the length of the esp32 I had matches perfectly the length of the wemo board I ripped out too, so fitted just fine.

What should we call our service so people are clear it’s free of American influence… Hmmm ‘America On Line’

When a daddy senior dev op and a mummy senior dev op love each other very much…

Why wouldn’t the grid do this on an industrial scale and remove any off peak discounts?

An esp controlling a linear actuator to either push the door open, or push against the latch locking it closed, or both.

Suzuki Jimny, still comes in a very basic electrical system

It’s fing awful when you are hiring too, it makes me nauseous
