To be fair, the UK is essentially aiming to be America 2.0
Many countries are trending more expensive (Belgium went up 30% house price in 4 years) but the UK is on another level of the wealthy literally owning all property and purposely leaving tens of thousands of houses empty just to spite the working class.

Not even the constitution. They literally break or say that “it was a mistake” for a majority of the constitution and pay judges to twist the meaning to fit their corporate donors’ wishes.
They literally want corporate feudalism where the only laws are those made by daddy corpo.
Are there any individuals or services that will build a custom air quality sensor from individual components for a fee? I am mainly interested parties in a couple humidity+temp+co2 boxes (wifi,zigbee,zwave or cable)...
Small batch (10 or so) fully integrated and assembled PCBs of the type of Airgradient without testing, without a case, and without any certifications will run you probably around $50 per piece. That is without any development time, no 3D modeling time to build a case, no software, engineering hours, testing, etc… Just raw BOM cost.
Boards are cheap, assembly service at low quantities is expensive. Making 10 PCBs by hand is also an option, but at a low $50 hourly rate, it would probably take 6-8 hours to hand assemble if you factor in 10% board mistakes with hand assembly. That brings you to $80ish per piece with no software or case.
The other way you can do this is hiring out very low income countries through fixed-rate contracts via fiverr or Upwork. But you will maybe have to shell out around $1000 to get people to actually take the contract, in which case it is only 30% cheaper than the airgradiant kit for vastlt lower build quality.
Much easier to work with modules and jumper wires, test it yourself, and solder when needed. Soldering station and supplies is $50 total and with modules you can probably get it done a bit roughly for $50 per piece total, but the benefit ia your free time costs nothing money-wise and you learn a lot.
Yes you can do things yourself for much cheaper than commercial products. The keyword is yourself. You often times can’t hire someone else to do it for cheaper than a commercial product (with exceptions).
I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars....
Lol this was one of the earlier nature valley bar, before their single packed one. They were around 15 years ago at least. Always been packed per 2 with the hope that you will just eat 2 at a time

Or, because studies have shown that in early and mid childhood development stages cell phones and tablets can actually stunt motor proficiancy and cause arrested social development, just give them a damn key.
Much easier than every single other option. If they lose things, actually parent them and teach them to be responsible and different organizational methods and tie the key to something they always have.
It’s funny because everyone arguing for phones and tablets for kids is like “hurt durr but their education”
You know what the vast vastvast majority of kids use the phones and tablets for? Fucking sure as hell that it isn’t education.
Addicting microtransaction games, social media, and the lowest trash YouTube channels.
Pretty much every teacher in existence will tell you that phones for young kids have been hell and the kids can’t focus at all and have much more trouble learning.
And every single person with any awareness at all will know that social media has been an absolute plague to kids social and mental health.
Sure give a phone to your kid when they are 14, 15, 16. But when they are in primary school it is not needed and they are at the most risk for every bad aspect of phones.

They don’t want people to innovate. Innovation is a buzzword that they use to market themselves as something other than parasites.
Most companies want to safely follow market trends to suck away large profit margin with minimal payout to workers. If they make a product that doesn’t work, they just assert that it does and that the customer is wrong.
That’s also why they intentionally quiet fire seniors like in the article. They don’t give a fuck about quality or innovation. They want the cheapest labor possible while hiking service/product pricing.
They don’t want employees to be happy. They want them to be cheap and exploitable.
That is literally the base form of businesses in the flawed reality of capitalism.

Hi there, im searching for a Android app to track my gym trainings (weights, reps, when). My Smartwatch App (Garmin) offers something like this but it kinda sucks because it deletes data if it thinks its machine/training X…...
Reddit fitness user made it back in the day, works perfectly, super customizable without any terrible subscription.
There is a companion body composition app for tracking measurement changes.
Best app I have tried to date except for a while the rest interval alarm would sometimes make podcasts get stuck at a lower volume, but android auto had that problem too, so maybe an android thing.
Only thing it is lacking is heart rate tracking from a Polar strap for example.
US government and Canadian are terrorists (look at their list of war crimes against civilians, genocide of native Americans, kidnapping and “re-educating” native children for ethnic cleansing). The US independence war literally got kicked off by torturing civilian tax collectors by ripping their skin off after dragging them through the streets
Israel is a terrorist state (genocide against a specific ethnic group definitely fits this definition even if they just did it for expansionism, that is a political goal and there are 36000 that Israel has killed directly on the low end, including over 224 civilian humanitarian aid workers and 179 civilian unwra workers)
Hamas is a terrorist organization
Dole is a terrorist organization (banana republics, Hawaii)
Many police organizations nowadays are terrorists (constant violence against innocent civilians), especially in the US
Belgium is a terrorist state (Congo anyone?)
France is a terrorist state (they have a special police battalion hand picked for violence against civilians lol)
Russian army is a terrorist org (talk about violence against civilians, they have wiped out so many villages and just killed and dumped the population)
Hell, Britain is a terrorist org (Kenya atrocities like the chuka massacre, the Irish???, Iraq & Afganistan?? BBC themselves reported how the British government was covering up their forces killing and torture of civilians and children in the middle east)
The point is that a news org can’t (or shouldn’t) just cherry pick who they want to label terrorists because that, no matter which way you slice it, will be political bias. Their own government has committed many, MANY acts of terror very recently.
How to accurately estimate signal crosstalk and power delivery performance without FEM/MoM simulators.
For people and companies that can’t afford 25k-300k per year in licence and compute costs, there is yet to be a good standard way to estimate EM performance. Not to mention dedicated simulation machines needed.
That’s why these companies can charge so damn much. The systems are so complex that making a ton of assumptions to pump out some things by hand or with bulk circuit simulators often doesn’t even get close to real world performance.
If someone figured out an accurate method without those simulations, the industry could also save a shit ton of compute power and time.
It’s funny that the literal industry posterboy for not paying debts on time his entire career is now leading that crowd of “just pay your debts” 😂 He still isn’t doing it himself, even with other people putting up the money to pay his debts for him
