@wjmaggos @Gladso @pluralistic I'd be happy of Fl. had open primaries. That way everyone can vote for the candidates in the beginning. We both changed to Republican last year so we could try to prevent Flynns attempted take over of Sarasota county politics. Apparently quite a few others did the same as it was reported the republicans had massive growth just before the primaries. I'd love to go back to being an Independent and even better f the 2 main parties had no clue how voting would go. Not like now where the republican's know the majority will vote team red.Signed RINO Nerb

@futurebird It's not as cheap as those kits but this one proved to be a lot of fun for my niece.She is 14 and hopefully will stay a nerd.I lent tools and test equipment but she built and solved it herself.https://www.canaduino.ca/product/electronic-education-diy-kit-the-broken-code-lock-troubleshooting-project/

@futurebird If only we had the option to click an option for the other word used for those unable to speak. Mute.Avoiding them as much as possible but they are popping up in everything. Even duckduckgo enshittified.

@stux If you were evil there is something you could do. Adults do not hear high pitch sounds. You could do similar to what I do when idiots let their dogs crap on my yard and leave it.A 10 watt warbling sound generator that varies from 25 Khz to 35Khz is aimed out there. It has 4 horn tweaters that can be aimed to cover the area. It's very directional so when the dogs enter the cone of pain they back away and have to be picked up squirming as they try to escape the sound.Most quickly give up and walk elsewhere.I do not leave it long as the rabbits and squirrels also hate it.

@stux That would drive the kids inside away from the sound. If you were truly evil you could investigate lower frequency sound. If you know the approximate size of their apartment rooms you could purchase a large sub woofer and sit it on the floor and let it resonate inside their rooms. When complain about the noise that is only inside one or two rooms tell them the tale of the killings that happened there years back. Or the cemetery abandoned nearby. And the things that come back once in awhile and can possess. Suspect from your descriptions of them previously that crap works on them.

@stux #d Printing has its uses. For instance I like to design useful electronic items. I can design and print a small case or enclosure . So something like what is shown in the picture becomes possible.

@futurebird @petealexharris @wakame And sometimes its not even the code but instead something inside the device. O recently decided to add a feature to a device I made for myself that added WiFi functionality to it. First thing noticed when the device started was rebootiing every 3 seconds

@futurebird @petealexharris @wakame And sometimes its not even the code but instead something inside the device. Recently decided to add a feature to a device I made for myself that added WiFi functionality to it. First thing noticed when the device started was it rebooting every 3 secondsSince it had been fine before this my mind said dumbo you did something wrong. Spend time carefully going through the code and not finding any problem. Looked online and did not see complaints similar to what I was experiencing It was when I gave in and used someone else's library that the problem was found.All I did was initialize the library and poof the every 3 second reboot started again. Was sure I had a bad device but went through the Github issues and found someone with the same complaint. Turns out the device works fine minus WiFi with 5v external power but needs 6v with WiFi. The WiFi bootup pulls the voltage down and the watchdog sees the low power and reboots. Ugg.
