Yes, although NanoKVM is probably a product with most caveats out of competing ones to recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plJGZQ35Q6I. I'd recommend JetKVM instead, but unfortunately it is still only available to obtain through late pledges on Kickstarter.


Seems interesting. To bad you cant buy it yet.


This is incorrect, I am currently using both nanoKVM USB and PCI models today


Website says 'preorder'. Is it available or not then? Preorder usually means it is not ready. Where did you buy it?


it looks like you can order the cube one on amazon right now.


Ah ok thanks I will check it out.


Well, except for the time their datacenter caught on fire I haven't had any problems.


If you look at the datasheets, the SoCs in the Miyoo handhelds were originally intended for dashcams. I don't know whether these handhelds emerged as a result of excess supply of chips like the RPi or simply it was the cheapest alternative that fit their needs, however.


I don't know for certain, but it does seem to fit the trend of some extremely high-volume, low-margin chip that starts out in one use-case and gets put everywhere else where it meets or exceeds the needed specs.

As a hobbyist, it makes me wonder how I can make use of this for my own needs - without having to make a custom PCB, which I know other hobbyists have succeeded in, but I'd like to keep my initial attempts simple.


There are multiple grades of stainless steel, which have different proportions of metals in the alloy. The stainless steel used in the cybertruck's body panels appears to be 301 grade, which is not among the best in rust resistance, and can indeed rust depending on environmental conditions.

Given that 301 stainless is cheaper than 304 or 316, which have similar mechanical properties while having better rust resistance, I would guess that material costs resulted in choosing 301 for the cybertruck.

My metallurgy is a bit rusty (sorry), so take this with a grain of salt (which 301 does not resist well, incidentally!).


Yes, quick Google search says that the rust concerns were unfounded


Yes, but compared to the setup for equivalent satellite services it is very cheap. The Inmarsat antennas need active compensation and they sit inside big radomes, while the Starlink antennas are smaller and do not need to move thanks to being phased arrays.

The bandwidth, latency and stability that Starlink has is also leagues better than geosynch based solutions, for a much lower monthly price.

Even without considering the better performance, the price makes it viable now to have a internet connections in places it did not make financial sense before.


516 people in Spain with Farto as first surname, 485 as second surname. None with both. Quite rare. You can check distribution out yourself in a map with this neat tool from the Spanish Statistics Institute https://www.ine.es/widgets/nombApell/index.shtml

As an aside, I spent some days last week around that zone and found out about the existence of the surname Pis, which has a similar distribution and rarity, and is even more unfortunate since it means "pee" in Spanish. At least Farto is only funny in English.

Since in Spain you get your first surname from your father's first surname and your second from your mother's first that sometimes also leads to unintended hilarity in names (example, real person, Luz Cuesta Mogollón, which roughly translates to "electricity costs a bunch"!)


In addition to that, this photo was taken onboard a cable laying vessel. There are not that many and they are booked back to back all over the world, so it is not of the question that they would have dual metric and imperial measurement devices. Also, onboard a working ship there is usually an international mixture of crew and contractors, and of course they might have American clients.


Yes, but Portugal had colonies in India!


As did UK and Netherlands, and don't use Cha variants.


If you don't intend to keep them fully stock there are modern solid-state drop-in replacements for reasonable prices! Given that they are fairly simple cars building one yourself from common electronic parts would not be too difficult either.


Norway is an interesting case regarding government provided services. Easy procedures, clear documentation, but then anything needing human review tends to take exactly six weeks for an answer.
