Really cool work on making your own rocket motors.
I wonder why he calls it a MANPADS (Man portable Air Defense System) It does slightly resemble a Manpads, but with a GPS based guidance system it would not able to be used for air defense, even conceptually. Typically manpads would use something like an infrared/optical or radar guidance system which would run way more than $5. This does seem like a cool home made AGM-176 or similar. There's always been a side project idea in the back of my head about what the cheapest IR or laser guided RC Plane launched rocket would look like. A cheap rocket design powered by some model rocket engines that could be used for a drone -> drone intercept cheaply.
Awesome job taking a fun idea into reality. It's really impressive to see the design work
If you are referencing the size of the initial commit that's 99.9% geojson. 56k conbinis takes a lot of lines. Since I was using this as a project to learn leaflet, there is also code I copy pasted from plugin getting started sections and what not. Also some plugins were old and unmaintained so I opted to just put them statically in my assets so I could also modify them easily as needed.
Hey there I made the site about a year ago or so because I noticed around my apartment is only Lawson's, so I got curious to see and find how common those types of places are. I used ai for CSS since I can't stand it. But this was a project mostly to learn and play with leaflet
I do have the data to do that, I struggled with colors and overlap/readability. With how much interest the sites been getting this year maybe I should do a v2
Do take that article with a grain of salt as it is South China morning post. While in this article they do call out that recently the CCP was ridiculing Elon for taking up too much space, in space. So I can give them some credit on that.
As for the state of these networks, G60/Qianfan had a plan of ~650 sattelites by the end of 2025, but currently sits at 108. They hope for ~1200 by the end of '27
Just before the end of the year the GuoWang constellation hit 136 of their planned 13,000.
For reference starlink has launched over 10k satellites to date with ~9,400 in active service.
Im sure the constellations will grow, but they have been experiencing the pains of scaling, especially with 1 use rockets. SCMP loves to pump up these crazy plans and massive numbers as a national pride win, even when they are not feasible or still really far off.
Hearing a $5 tier on planetscale was cool and I was thinking about using it for a future project, but those specs are just way too low to be worth it for $5/mo. I think I will just get a $5/mo vps with 32x the CPU (probably more as this is 2 x86 cpu cores vs 1/16 arm) and 8x the ram for the same price. The stats, insights and dashboards are cool, but for hobbyist projects that's too steep for the specs you get in my opinion.
Going on 2 years of linux only, between Debian and Endevour, other than linux nvidia drivers crapping themselves basically every update its been awesome. I do miss Fusion360 and League with friends, but its been overall very good and I recommend it to anyone on the fence. Break free.
Depends on the service but for the most part googles infra has its own stack that GCP is built on top of. There is always initiatives going on to get more internal stuff running on GCP as opposed to the internal infra directly, but none of them have really stuck that I saw.
Don't most washers and dryers have timed start like dishwashers do? I always remember mine having pictures like that but maybe that's just not a common thing
Maybe I am just a bit naive on the under the hood workings of the play integrity system, but I would imagine most of the devices not passing attestation are just Rooted or 3rd party roms. Those can easily change around keyboxes and mock stuff out (for now at least) to try and pass these checks, would that not also spoof device id making this void? I guess you could also use this to store info on devices that are not spoofing stuff, like device level bans for a game or something. Maybe that's more the use case here rather than the continued war against enthusiasts.
Apple having such a dominant hold of market share in the smartphone space gave a lot of leverage when negotiating royalties with Sony who makes the felica stuff. From what I heard it was basically just gifted to them, because if Apple says no we wont support it, then you lose a huge amount of users. Whereas with other manufacturers they pay on a per device basis tracked by the underlying osaifu-keitai stuff. If you are rooted though it is usually just 1 flag or something you need to change. Been using my US Pixel 6 for years daily on my commutes.
