Cool stuff and inspiring. Have a website or GitHub about your home automation projects? I checked out your blog, and the raspberry pi microwave was pretty sweet.

Does anyone know if Colombia has this type of digital nomad visa?

Smart! Low taxes, same time zone, up and coming country…

I'd be curious to see what a billionaire could do in this niche. Bezos, Branson, and Musk are doing amazing things in the space race. I'm curious what their teams could come up with for this.

Yeah zerover seems kinda Draconian like “you’ll never be good enough!”

This seems like a cool middle ground between Debian and an RTOS.

Yeah a personal brand is so important. Great article from a wise hacker.

Yeah I see what you’re saying, but there will always be the tech equivalent of the back room whisper - a private and authentic conversation. The platform may change, but it will exist because there’s always a need for it. Now, Signal fills that need. In the future… tor on open source hardware? Something else?

Haha that should be the line to tell your team - "Ok guys, this is almost an IP address... it's time to move on."

Any node in particular you think is risky for TSMC?

The Swarm Tile looks easily integratable into PCB designs. And, it's very low power. Although, I wonder why they need about 3 Watts power consumption when transmitting. At their low transmit frequencies (148-150 MHz), I would think they could lower that number to less than 1 Watt since the wavelengths are so long. But hey, if you deploy your sensor in a sunny location with solar panels, then why not?

> TSMC, meanwhile, has been responsible for manufacturing approximately 70% of these microcontrollers.
There may come a day where this trend will reverse.

Exponential growth of that group in the past year… that’s scary. I’d be curious as to how many of them are flat-earthers too.

Not surprising really. That landscape has become so competitive. To make a profit requires a pristine product page and reviews section.

Amen. Although, if you're on version 931.59.12, then maybe something is wrong.

Start by making your plan digestible. My favorite quote from the article.
Even though the future is unpredictable, we can at least be clear on where we are going.
