«Вика-Д3». Суровые челябинские домофоны настолько суровы…

Приветствую всех!

Уверен, большинство из вас вряд ли когда-нибудь слышали про этот домофон. Существовали они в Каменске-Уральском, Челябинске, Магнитогорске и некоторых окрестных городах и исчезли так же тихо и незаметно, как и появились. По сравнению с другими тогдашними домофонами этот экземпляр был весьма интересен: полноценные ключи, цифровая линия связи, удобство использования и очень крутой дизайн под стать заводу-изготовителю.

Что же в этой штуке такого интересного и как она устроена? Сейчас и узнаем.

Resizeable BAR support on the Raspberry Pi

Resizeable BAR support on the Raspberry Pi

While not an absolute requirement for modern graphics card support on Linux, Resizeable BAR support makes GPUs go faster, by allowing GPUs to throw data back and forth on the PCIe bus in chunks larger than 256 MB.

In January, I opened an issue in the Raspberry Pi Linux repo, Resizable BAR support on Pi 5.

Я открыл Figma и понял, что хочу выйти в окно. Возможно это провал

Когда-то я даже нарисовал в Photoshop первое приложение Nebo — буквально нарисовал, по слоям, как открытку. А потом показал это программистам и увидел в их глазах то самое выражение: “он что, серьёзно?”

Weffort Outdoor Smart Shade Review with Home Assistant over Matter/Thread

We’re going to do a quick review of smart outdoor motorised shades from Weffort — another brand that makes smart shades compatible with popular Smart Home platforms, including Home Assistant, SmartThings, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Amazon Alexa.

With various options, it might sound complicated at first (usually people just let a pro handle it), but it’s actually way easier than you think. Plus, the shades are lightweight,...

upyOS modular MicroPython-based OS for microcontrollers works with ESP32, RP2040, etc…

upyOS is a modular, lightweight MicroPython-based operating system (OS) that provides a Unix-like experience on low-resource microcontrollers such as Espressif Systems ESP32/ESP32-C3/ESP32-S3, Raspberry Pi RP2040, and others. Inspired by smolOS, upyOS offers remote development tools, OTA updates, and a built-in web server. Its modular architecture separates system functions into reusable components, instead of large, monolithic programs. Key Features: Modular architecture: Commands and system functionality are broken down into small, independent modules to reduce memory usage. Built-in shell environment: Execute commands and scripts directly, providing a Unix-like CLI experience. Startup and shutdown scripting: Configure boot and shutdown behaviors using /etc/init.sh and...

How much radiation can a Pi handle in space?

How much radiation can a Pi handle in space?

Late in the cycle while researching CubeSats using Pis in space, I got in touch with Ian Charnas1, the chief engineer for the Mark Rober YouTube channel.

Earlier this year, Crunchlabs launched SatGus, which is currently orbiting Earth taking 'space selfies'.
