looks like the first line says that you got banned and gives a reason, (note that I don’t know anything about you or that community, just pointing out what I saw in the list, nothing more)

How many followers, subscribers, connections, upvotes or friends (...) does it take to turn a normal person into an influencer on a particular social media platform? Does it take anything else? in c/[email protected]

It's not the numbers but the content, if they are good natured and have knowledge or entertainment to give the numbers will follow BUT people will also watch a dumpster fire. People with high numbers but lack the rest are not influencers. IMHO, People that go around saying they are "influencers" usually are not and are just bullies trying to throw around weight they don't have to get free stuff or cause harm.

What device can rotate a knob and works with HA? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Depends on the lock being actuated and the torque of the servo, I have some that can do 4.4 N-m.

A stepper motor would also work for sure.

If you have some electronic skill you can use espHome on a esp32 microcontroller to control an RC Servo motor.

If you want out-of-box there are several electronic locks that will work.

It’s half potassium chloride, that can cause you heart issues too if you get to much of it.

Are there any uses for an old iPad 4th generation for programming? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

There are no “real” alternative OS available for apple devices. You can get some IDE “lite” apps like Visual Code, Python Editor, etc. but these a meant as companions to a PC IDE not meant for compiling, linking, testing, etc. You might be able to trade the old iPad for an old laptop you can put a flavor of Linux on.

A lot of independent mechanics will use the manufacturer scan tool and service applications or use a 3rd party scan tool/applications that is licensed through the manufacturer and still uploads the data.

Teensy 4.1 tiny power IC replacement, Tips needed (lemmy.ml)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have a project that is using a Teensy 4.1, the cheep 5v regulator I was using in the project let the magic smoke out for no good reason. I replaced that but now the Teensy boots and runs for about a min then quits. There is a TLV75733P power IC that is supplying the 3v3 and it gets hot then quits supplying power. Since that IC is $0.46 vs a new Teensy 4.1 ~ $40 I want to try and replace it. I have done a bit of SMD work but not tried to remove a tiny chip with a GND pad before so I’m looking for any tips. The PCB of the Teensy has header pins so I can’t really get good contact to a hot plate to preheat the board.

iseebell doorbell streams (lemmy.ml)
 

I’ve had this iseebell video doorbell for a few years and a year or so ago their web site disappeared as well as the app from the mobile stores. I still have the app on my phone and it does still work but, since the company seems now be defunct I expect that the app will cease working soon. I’m not thrilled that there is an app and need to proxy through a external server anyway and I would like to add the streams to my Friget/HA setup. Does anyone have any info on the iseebell streams, alternate firmwares, hardware hacks, etc.?

Can I use piStar as an analog gateway? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have a Pi-Star and a BTECH DMR 6x2 radio, mostly use it with a few talk groups and the quadnet array (XLX307). I would like to use it as a gateway/auxiliary station to allow me to control and do a sort of cross band repeater using an old radio shack 2m radio I have. My shack is in the Garage and I would love to talk on the analog repeater from the house but the HTs I have are just not enough power.
