Serious question: who would I hire for these kind of stuff?

In a couple of situations, I decided to give software away for free to avoid the hassle. If there's a simple solution to get advice, I'd really appreciate that.

There's actually a new class of cars that doesn't go by the name: L7e. L7e is the EU's name for light electric cars. 90 km/h top speed, 200 km range. Cheap.

While small "cars" might disappear, I think the L7e class will see a lot of improvements.

Great note, didn't think of this limitation when using the dongle previously.

One question though, doesn't the sender transmit advertisements sequentially on all of the broadcast channels? So at least for BLE advertisements, they should all appear on the advertisement channel you're listening on - even if that's just one of them?

Just for people who got the non-makerdiary version of the nrf 52840 USB Dongle (note the "MDK" in the article's dongle name):

For the non-MDK dongle, the reset button is a side-oriented button next to the big white button (almost looks like an LED). Took me a while.

Not sure what the point here is, since VanMoof does integrate with Apple FindMy.

Manufacturers can purchase AirTag-like chips to integrate with their electronics. Done. Price per unit probably orders of magnitude lower than the AirTag retail price.

Of course the whole "locking system" with companion app is a separate thing. But as far as FindMy goes, it should be fairly simple. Would be interesting to learn what kind of royalties Apple charges.

Is Couchsurfing still alive?

When they blocked access for free users, my impression (after paying) was that very little of the community remained.

My insurer's app sometimes complains I drive too few to determine my driving style, hence, cannot grant a discount. However the system averages the whole year, taking months into account where this actually did work.

For 200km / Month it's working just fine. Below that sometimes fails.

My experience with telematics-enabled driving is quite positive. I'm saving 30% easily, simply by driving relaxed.

I don't think I'm giving away much personal data: The insurance set up a separate legal entity that performs the ranking, with a easy-to-read EULA that rules out selling data.

My insurance is using the Cambridge Mobile Telematics modules.

My network creepingly broke away over the past three years and I didn't bother to re-build it. Your post reminds me of the great discussions I've had at networking events. Time to start that again!
