My company sells a 4-20mA sensor and I always wondered why. Thanks!

One of my favorite apps is PeakFinder, it shows local topography in an AR style UI. It also shows where and when the sun will set given the mountains around you! Well worth the few bucks.

I wear mine to sleep and that's where I get tremendous value out of it! I have small kids who are up one or more times overnight, and it's the first thing I check - is it midnight? Closer to 4am? Helps me make immediate decisions about how to handle the situation.

This is so rad! Here's a photo of me making a 1.2Ghz FM contact 244km away from the summit of a 14er to the summit of another 14er here in Colorado. That particular band is very line-of-sight, with not much propagation or reflections like even 2m SSB or the HF bands. This is a very fun tool that I can't wait to explore more!

Seconding fastmail.

I have a catch-all and can reply from any address I please. If I reply from an email sent to [email protected] it even auto populates the "from" address for me with "retailer", or I can choose to reply from one of my named accounts. It's really slick.

I've been pretty happy with Betterment.

The Coleco Adam was my first computer. I was too young to appreciate it other than the hours spent playing _Pitfall_, but those are fond memories indeed.

Not OP but I have the Anker 3-in-1 Cube and it was $150 when I bought it a year or two ago. It charges a phone, watch, and airpods at the same time, and sparks joy for me.

I'm a longtime rock climber and climbed a tower professionally back in another life. With most things, it's practice with the gear that builds trust in your system. I can do most anything at a height these days because I know that I'm safe; it lets me push that lizard brain feeling away. I similarly experienced this learning to SCUBA dive a few years ago - it's horrifying! But the more time spent doing the thing, practicing the systems, failure modes, etc... let me relax and enjoy the fish rather than freaking out that I'm 70' underwater.

With a robust used market, as well. I laughed at the battery life goals for this - the inreach mini I use lasts _days_.

The NYT did kick this off with Snow Fall and it won a Pulitzer the following year.

... but it is back-uppable.

My wife and I went to Kauai and specifically rented a Jeep so we could take it on some moderate trails to see waterfalls and whatnot. We were somewhat dismayed when we arrived and found we had been "upgraded" to a BMW X5 and there were no actual off-road vehicles available from the company. It was a nice car, for sure, but not what we had wanted.

I believe this post covers the most common use case of Twitch, which is live streaming. You don't want to be a minute behind the video when chat is live.

I run Sway and I can set a 2x scale per output easily. Not sure about other WMs.

Yup, in iOS go to Settings -> Cellular. There's a toggle for each app.

Or live in a metro area with WAMI already in place...

I believe VW Vortex[0] is (or at least was) the largest forum by number of users. I have a Tacoma and receive dozens of replies on Tacoma World[1], usually within an hour, on posts I've made with questions or comments about the vehicle. I'm sure there are more.

This is now supported as of a few weeks ago! I just set it up for a new domain using a cancel-able API key.

Does this cable not work to plug an iPhone into a macbook these days, or am I missing something?

With a larger sensor, wouldn't you need a longer lens to get the same effective focal length, making the bump protrude even more?

We just migrated a medium size project using pgloader with great success and minimal headaches, which seems like a big step up from the last time I had to migrate a project. Highly recommended, and it might be easier than you think!

I'd be more concerned if you used this for actual secrets.

I think the value would be with recording a location and time with the plate number, not just that a plate exists.

Kind of a rip off of this blog post[0] from Rogue Amoeba, down to the same screenshot and everything.

Hey Chris, Dave KI6YMZ here :) We did a SOTA peak many years ago in CO together!

You should check out HIRF-6 as well. Similar payload, and has been airborne since September of 2016!
