They already have ticketing cameras on school busses in some areas, at least around Syracuse, New York. Google "school bus camera ticket" for details.

Unsurprisingly, the rollout was quickly followed by news of 40+ false tickets from busses that were parked at a school. My understanding is that they were not loading or unloading kids, did not have their stop sign extended or blinking lights on, but just happened to be close enough to the adjacent street for the ticket cameras think the bus was stopped on the street and issue tickets to the innocently passing cars.

Those tickets were dropped and they're apparently fixing that, but not a confidence-inducing start to say the least.

Thanks for being a sponsor at PHP[Tek] this year. Your stickers are out on a table next to our booth and I've been periodically telling people what you guys do as they walk by.

Thank you!

I use the H10 to show my heart rate on my paramotor live streams and this will be SO much better than the way I'm scraping it with HR Monitor + Tasker + AutoNotification.

I'm very much looking forward to trying this out.

(Obligatory HN pedantry: arguably unrelated, but now I'll try to help anyway because this is quite common.)

Bluetooth is pretty low power, but without the TV in the way, that range should be no problem at all. Problem is that a lot can block it physically and drown it out in RF noise.

Most TV's probably have a thin, but solid aluminum plate in them for structure that could indeed block BLE and be causing the issue. Ironically, this is one RF case where metal studs would actually be helpful.

For comparison, I fly a paramotor and use Sena Bluetooth mesh for comms, and just our heads at any distance are enough to block it if we're on the wrong side of each other. Motorcyclists on the other hand don't often have this issue since there's other vehicles and stuff to bounce their signals around.

What might help if that's the issue is something reflective like foil mounted somewhere that can see both the controller and the GTV device. I'd also try to make the reflector slightly/roughly parabolic-ish (kinda shallow as to not make aiming difficult) pointed at the GTV device. You can hide the reflector behind and/or point it through anything RF transparent like wood or plastic.

Another possibility is other 2.4ghz noise— You could try turning down 2.4ghz transmit power on your AP as a possible quick fix. Of course if you haven't, make sure anything that can be on 5ghz, is.

Edit: Note that a reflector will also reflect noise sources at the GTV device.

I've also had issues with poorly shielded HDMI interfering with 2.4ghz in close proximity, so even just jostling things around behind the TV a little or using your best shielded HDMI cables there could help some.

Debugging RF can be tricky and frustrating, but I hope one of these tips helps either you or maybe a passer-by one day. :)

Happy new year!

Awesome, great job!

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Small typo, the stellar mass/radius plot is labeled "Host Start"

Pretty neat, thanks for sharing this. I don't exactly share the privacy concerns of the other commenter, but I would feel better with a couple of things:

- Ability to toggle profile public/private - Ability to delete profile - Ability to change username (it's fine if doing so breaks my embeds, etc)

Really like this idea. I think anything that might increase awareness and adoption of PWA's is great.

I'm curious why you chose to trigger a vibration every time to switch categories when browsing.

As an anecdote, I've been upgrading a single install of Fedora stable for years without any issues.

I use the same method for a Twitch TTS system I built and it works very, very well.

This seems so obvious, it's crazy this isn't being done everywhere.
