FTDI chips cost at least $5 (https://www.findchips.com/search/ft232), but an RP2040 can be bought for less than $1, so it makes sense to use an RP2040.

hah. Drilling holes to run Ethernet through centuries-old castle walls was my favorite.

Legally it's probably fine, but as the Belgian American Radio Company has been around since the 1930s, the title of the article did confuse me: my first guess was something about how Barco was using Linux containers in their products.

qemu is fine if the IoT device only runs Linux; may want to look into something like https://renode.io/ for a more comprehensive approach.

Re:Many indoor air quality sensor products are a scam

Guilty as charged. Based on design validation testing, I ended up making the design choice to partially rely on a software offset, a strong fan blowing into the sensor not being a supported scenario.
But the placement / air flow / multiple openings definitely took us more design iterations than we had planned for.

- Style using CSS: Use Pandoc to HTML, and use wkhtmltopdf or chrome headless to convert HTML+CSS to PDF.
- Style using XSL-FO: Use Pandoc to DocBook, XSLT docbook-xsl stylesheets to convert to XSL-FO, Apache FOP to convert XSL-FO to PDF.

Back when it was $20000.
There's AntennaHouse and PrinceXML, but both are pretty
pricey ($3-5K / server), and both of these do now support CSS as well.
Apache FOP / Batik is okay for generating nice looking PDFs, but its SVG rasterization is much worse than that of Chrome's PDF renderer (Skia).
As I didn't get the memo about XML being dead, I'm still using Docbook and XSLT/XInclude to structure and filter content written in markdown/rst.
But I will be switching over from XSL-FO to CSS paged media for layout as soon as Chrome supports bookmarks in PDF output, or either WeasyPrint or wkhtmltopdf improve their CSS3 column support.

But in doing so, these customers most likely would break the contract with their ISP, or they'd have to upgrade to a contract that does allow them to "redistribute" Internet access.
