  • Often, those are only serial/wifi bridges. Worth al look. Logic analysers you can get for less then 20 bucks as a cheap USB knockoff, but they work. If it is just serial, congratulations, that is a straight forward implementation. And in Europe, this does not break warranty btw

  • I often replace those WiFi models with esp32s. ESPhome on top.

    Currently working in a full integration for our heat pumps. I freed ceiling lamps, space heaters, and more from their chinese cloud backdoor.

    If I can get a device that respects my privacy I will buy that version. If not, I am a Journeyman of Electronics (yes, rly) I have my beloved oscilloscopes, logic analysers and 50 EPSs in stock.

  • I think that is the difference of perspective. Living in Germany, I did my driver’s license with 22, didn’t need it before. I could live without a car.

    Yes, many would profit from shared, autonomous cars. But many would profit from public transport here in Germany to, and guess what. They want cars.

    I hate this as much as the next dude. But if they really really want them, at least make them electric

  • Cyclist belong on their bicycle lanes , and those lanes belong besides every road.

    Pedestrians belong on walkways, along every road

    What is about stray pets and railroads? Horses , dogs, cats?

    If we are talking about something so unrealistic and futuristic like autonomous vehicles lvl 5+. We may as well assume that we fixed everything else at that point of time.

    Or, we just can take this as what it is. A sarcastic joke

  • The only way to solve the self driving cat issue is to ban all human drivers from the road.

    So, if some techbro wants self driving cars, just give everybody one. All electric of course.
