I would guess there is photocell next to the LED and comparing the amount of light to the ambient light the cameras get. They might also be doing something clever and using the LED itself as a photo diode.

It looks like the connector just happens to fit so it's only being used to make the electrical connection. The 4 pins are actually power, ground and I2C data and clock.
Edit: Here https://github.com/dekuNukem/bob_cassette_rewinder/blob/mast... you can see the white and red wires coming from the USB connector labelled as SDA and SCL.

This looks almost identical (though maybe a bit more stripped down, haven't looked closely) to the Orange Pi Zero which has been on sale for a few years at a similar price.

If you're not already familiar with Soft White Underbelly (interviews and portraits of the human condition), I highly recommend checking out Mark's other videos. I particularly enjoyed the recent series of folks from Appalachia.

It seems to go to as many characters as you can fit in the URL. Each new character after /bot-dungeon/ is a new level.
Pretty clever!

I've been really happy with a similar Cannon printer (Cannon G3200).
The print quality is quite good, it comes with an insane amount of ink, and you literally buy full replacement bottles of ink and pour them in the tanks.
No artificial page limits, no checks for non-oem ink.

The major credit card companies have a service where they can notify the merchant of the new details when the card expires. I believe Visa calls it Account Updater.

I live in a major Canadian city it’s still somewhat common to see, though usually more for budget brands. Packages usually are capped at 200 GB and the next tier will be unlimited.
I’d say the shift to more unlimited offerings happened about 5 years ago.

About half of that cost ($40) is the 5 breadboards needed to connect the circuit together. Building it on something more permanent like veroboard would cut that cost down significantly.

I used to share the exact same feeling. Two weeks ago, I finally made the jump and switched to an iPhone. The first thing I did was go back through and take more time in selecting the Google services that are actually important to me and adjusting them tracking levels i'm more comfortable with.
Having spent a few weeks on the phone (from a Samsung S7 before), the biggest difference I feel is that the iPhone is no longer nagging me to interact with it the same way my old one did. No blinking notification light, no Samsung pestering me to accept some changes to their terms and conditions etc.
Re:Jabra: we know our Bluetooth headsets don’t work with laptops
on Wednesday February 06, 2019 @11:14AM (#19096347)
I'm surprised.
I have the exact same headset (Jabra Evolve 75) at work and have had no issues at all using it on my 2018 MacBook Pro.
I use it daily for Slack and other VoIP calls as well as to listen to music. I usually have it paired to my phone as well, but it works just as well connected solely to the Mac.
That said, I did have an issue once with it when trying to play a game on Steam. I couldn't hear the in-game audio, only other players speaking.

I've started adding some posts about the CNC upgrades here: https://nadav.ca/2019/01/18/list-of-3018-cnc-upgrades/
It's still a little bare, but I'm hoping to add more detail as I can. Feedback is also very much appreciated!

They're not, I wasn't focused on documenting when I created them. I'll be sure to add that to the list of things to share :) But here is an image of an SOIC-20 I milled. https://pasteboard.co/HX2z3EN.jpg
The short version of the workflow is: FlatCAM to convert gerbers to gcode then CNCjs on an orange pi zero to stream the gcode to the CNC.

Absolutely! I recently got a 3D printer as well and the feeling of being able to create something "out of thin air" is amazing.
Hopefully I'll have something initial up this weekend, i'll post the link here when I do.

I've been using a 3018 CNC with pretty good results. They're fairly inexpensive machines (about $300 I believe) and are decently accurate.
I still order boards from China, but for a quick breakout board it's incredibly handy!
I also decided to get a 5W laser which is also pretty fun to engrave with.
I'm planning on writing a series of blog posts about it if you're interested!
As a last note, if you like tinkering, these little machines are money and time sinks.. So far, I've added limit switches, a pi, more bits, 3D printed a tool holder etc etc
