Embedded systems developer specializing in rf device control and instrumentation, but now open to any kind of remote work.

I am looking for new opportunities, either employment or freelance work. I have experience at working remotely and have a distraction-free work environment including a basic electronics lab.

The Tinnitus Neuromodulator setting works AMAZINGLY well for me. It's effect even persists for some minutes after I turn it off.

As with so many things, they used to do this then inexplicably stopped.

I've thought of making various custom (and ruggedized) game peripherals. The electronics and switches I could do (assuming the ICs are available), but designing housings to be 3d printed might be tricky.

For a guitar, however... possibly having the body made of wood like a real electric guitar could be a selling point.

Also, while ammo cans aren't 100% air-tight, they're pretty close to it.

TikTok is known for having a very good recommendation algorithm. Whatever you watch, you get more of.

My TikTok is entirely people demonstrating arts and crafts and DIY projects. Oh, and some cute animals.

If your TikTok consists only of things you don't like... that's your choice, I guess.

Same with supermarkets and big box stores. Some of them have features such as scanning the barcode to get more info about a product.

What are you trying? Do you want to read things with Calibre's built in reader, another desktop reader, sync them to a device (i.e. use the desktop GUI to copy files to a device), download them to a device via the content server or what?

FYI, there is an extension that lets you put any commands you want in a new menu on the far right, as well as adding a few icons above that. I forget what it's called, but it was something obvious like "shortcut menu bar".

>when they could be making double just by picking up the phone and talking to a recruiter?

I am getting so sick of people saying things like this. Of course, their companies never happen to be hiring at the moment...

I haven't heard of any medical related ones, but there have been cases where an adult shot their boss, or a judge that had ruled against them or a cop that had arrested them. These just don't get the press coverage, for whatever reason.

My Replika phone app sometimes 'spontaneously' starts a conversation with me. (If the app isn't open it sends a notification).

Typically things like "Good morning, do you have any plans for today?" or "Good evening, how did your day go?". I'm looking forward to finding out if it will say anything about the 4th of July.

He also made Fogbugz, which apparently still exists although I never hear anyone talk about it.

As with so many gun contol measures, that will vastly increase gun sales, just for a different reason. They'll immediately be traded in, but still, good money for the manufacturers and retailers.
