That’s what I’m talking about, yeah. And TBH it’s actually closer to the end than the middle. Also I didn’t find it that big of a deal, but your mileage may vary. I hope you can get past what a bunch of others seem to hate because the payoff is so good.
There is a hurdle late in the game which you’ll know when you hit it, just in case you somehow haven’t heard about it. Do try to get past it though, the payoff is worth it.
They only suspended the accounts of people who did it way more than necessary to test it. The exploit process degraded server performance, which got in the way of other testing. It makes sense if you think about it.
That is, according to the post on their forums, exactly what they did. The people who were clearly just doing it to grind money as fast as possible without regard for the effects it had on the servers and without attempting to report the results of this “testing” (because they weren’t testing, or even playing arguably) got a suspension, not a perma ban.
I’d be a lot more willing to root for epic if they had spent any time at all making EGS preferable. I would prefer steam over their mess even if EGS was 20% cheaper all the time. Tho I go for GOG over either of them whenever possible.
We need competition like GOG. EGS is shit, we need competition better than EGS.
Man, I really liked LoL once, around what they dubbed S2 and maybe still in S3. But then the pace of changes got too much, and also the types of changes. Every now and then I’d think about checking out where it’s at, but now they bundle that awful anticheat malware of theirs that’ll never happen again.
Some people will do it. We’re talking about people who can afford powerful rigs here, they can afford it if they care enough. So it’s not entirely stupid for Sony to try this bait thing.
Guess that we won’t see Demon’s Souls or Bloodborne until they have an exclusive sequel locked away, tho. :(
Mm, that could be a problem for the battery even if it does connect. You could probably work around it if you really wanted to; solar powered repeater high up somewhere between the box and the house. But that’s getting into silly territory. :P
Next time you’re out there see what signal you get from your phone, maybe? Just hold it away from your car.
Awesome, gonna bookmark those for later. Thanks!
No problem. The one I used is an ESP32 DevKitC, and you can find info about it on Espressif’s site, or just google the pinout diagram. For basic tasks it should be all you need since it has lots of binary pins, two ADC channels, two DAC channels, realtime clock, special pins for waking it from deep sleep, two I2C, etc. Though if you want to do video input you probably want something else, I’m learning.
Anyway, if you can spare the money to get one just to toy with I’d definitely recommend it.
Yeah, all it does is tell me when something is obscuring one of the sensors. I figure anything that gets put in there which is small enough to fall in a way it covers neither isn’t going to be important enough to worry about.
I am vaguely aware AusPost has some kind of service that might inform me of regular mail delivery, but anyone can put stuff in my mailbox not just AusPost. Plus this was a fun project, yeah.
Okay so that is an issue with the ESP32, sure. There are a lot of variants.
So from what I can tell, the ESP32 is the SoC chip and what you usually get is a dev board which has that plus a bunch of power regulation bits, a USB connector and UART so you can easily program it, etc. That part varies mostly by pinout. I.e. Same features, different pin location.
There are also variants of the chip, but those are usually more costly and will be named things like ESP32-S2.
Every one I’ve seen can run off 5v or 3.3v and uses the latter for logic, so if you got yourself an arduino kit and then just bought an ESP32 dev board it would almost certainly work with whatever is in the kit. Both are microcontrollers, not microprocessors, so they tend not to have OSes or screens.
Yeah, of course. :)
Oh interesting. Can you link the detector? I could use that for something else.
Nice idea. Mine has a slot tho, so I couldn’t just do that. Never seen anyone with a mailbox the mailman has to open in Australia.
Hah, fair. It tells me when I have mail.
Nice :)
C#. Or Python if you must. Don’t use Javascript.
