pmuk | 2 years ago | on: Brexit has failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll
Positives:
- Zero discernible benefits so far.
Negatives:
- Loss of freedom to live, work, study & retire across Europe. Visas now required, often with high income requirements.
- 90/180 day limit on travel. Longer queues at airports, etc when entering the EU to get passports stamped.
- Loss of access to EU/EEA single market, so exporters face significant red tape. This benefits larger companies who can deal with the paper work versus smaller companies in the UK - but still disadvantages all UK companies compared to their European peers.
- Increased mobile roaming fees for UK travellers to Europe.
- Outside Digital Single Market: we can no longer watch TV services like Now TV, Sky while traveling in Europe even with a VPN.
- Loss of EU "passporting" rights for UK financial institutions.
- Irish Sea Border leads to some strange outcomes: creates a customs border within the UK and those born in Northern Ireland have more rights than those born in England, Wales and Scotland since they can retain EU free movement by applying for an Irish passport.
Before Brexit a UK citizen could just jump in a car, train or plane and travel across the EU/EEA almost as if they were in their own country.

I've just disconnected a BobCat miner so I have a spare 1.1m 8.5dBi 868MHz antenna on my roof. Can you recommend a good gateway to get started on TTN?

I read astroturfing as astrosurfing and thought this was the name for bouncing the signal off the moon.

Are you outside the US? I got the same results, but then realised it's only available in the US at the moment.
pmuk | 3 years ago | on: Analysis of Apple Watch running data
I have just started using an Apple Watch Ultra for running and it does seem more accurate to me. My old Series 6 would underreport distance, e.g. a 5k park run would be measured as 4.9km. I also noticed with the Series 6 that if I did a u-turn that my pace would drop considerably as the watch was presumably missing some of the distance I had travelled whereas the Ultra seems much better in this regard.

If you have the space, you could install close to 20kW of solar PV for $20,000. On a sunny day this would help power a 22kW charging station, and even on a cloudy day you'd probably get around 2kW for trickle charging.

I was thinking the same. Do you have a video of you testing some of them as well? It would be interesting to see how it works!

> Elite on the Beeb was the game that started me coding
Same for me! Not that I could read the code, but my desire to try to cheat in the game led me to learning BASIC and then a career in software engineering.

I had a similar idea on Saturday and wrote a puppeteer based script which monitors Tesco.com and then pushes a screenshot to my phone if it finds a slot: https://github.com/paulmaunders/delivery-slot-bot

I was testing Github copilot's new "Agent" feature last weekend and rapidly built a working app with Vue.js + Vite + InstantSearch + Typesense + Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI
Today I tried to build another app with Rust and Dioxus and it could barely get the dev environment to load, kept getting stuck on circular errors.
