Also with the excalidraw plugin, hand drawing images and such is also possible.
It is not as good for flowcharts and diagrams since there are only like 5 non-specified font sizes, but also usable for notes

I listen to his podcast weekly. I haven't listened to the one from the OP, but in the past year I have become very disillusioned with Stewart.
Every interview is an absolute softball "what's your favorite color" BS where each and every answer is a boot that is slobbered on with "BAM", and "BARS" and every misdirect and deflection by the guest is just accepted and the root of the few harder questions goes unanswered without protest outside of maybe the Christie interview.
The Jeffries interview was absolutely embarrassing, for example.
It's very different from Stewart 15+ years ago.
If its anything like my ID4, 400km in 70km or less braking traffic, and like 250km on the highway. Even less if it is raining.
I can't imagine taking the buzz on a road trip if it is like that...
Money and time.
Tons of people build cool projects during their time in university, but the vast vast majority of people don't because they are eating beans and rice and ramen and pizza and studying, not spending 500€-1000€ on iterative prototyping and the equipment to test everything.
ICs, passives, and transistors. /thread.
There are 2 big IC designers in Europe: Nordic and ST, but I believe all of their production is in China and Taiwan. If trade crashes, we have the IP, but no way to manufacture at scale. IMEC here in Belgium has 4 small fabs, but there isn't that much else and the workforce is expensive as fuck which is why they do research IC's almost exclusively.
We have a lot of camera IC designing in the EU also, but they are almost all fabless. Luckily we have ASML who know everything technical about IC manufacturing.
We have less knowledge on how to actually mass produce ICs anymore efficiently even though we create all of the tools and methods here because everything is done in the east that will see any volume production. PCBs and assembly are already 2-3x as expensive.
In my opinion, we need huge subsidies to get component and IC scale fabs here.
How it works for some people is the chest strap would be detected by the fitness app (polar, strava, run keeper, opentracks, etc...) and then the activity would be recorded with the chest strap. Then the activity is either synced with google health connect or google fit, apple health, etc... So it shows up in your watch app overview.
"Smarter" smart watches I think can also connect themselves to the chest strap instead of the phone and the heart rate from the chest strap would "override" the watch's that it then sends to the app, so you don't have to sync with an external app. Though there might be more problems with compatibility even though all chest straps should use the standard Bluetooth "Heart Rate Service" to be completely interoperable.
Withings has barely better than a guess heart rate correlation during activity sadly, so not great for sports. But they look nice!
What you can also do (that many people do) is get whatever fitness watch that has the features that you want, then get the Polar H10 chest strap for working out, which is the gold standard for heart rate measurement and much more accurate than PPG measurement.
That's interesting because there are a lot of European companies with huge foreign investors (Spotify I think falls under this) where a giant share of the profits are going to foreign oligarchs and hedgefunds.
But then companies like Nothing (phones) who literally only have a sales office and are registered in London, but the entire business is carried out in China (design, manufacturing, coding, etc..) So the business is basically 80% chinese. I guess technically the profits are registered to a European country, but the CEO getting the profits was born in China, is a Swedish citizen, and has exclusively worked in the Chinese phone industry in China until this. (I don't know if he is a dual citizen actually)
I think profits are only one part of the puzzle. Manufacturing being within Europe is very important also because the loss of manufacturing means you are completely reliant on others for basic functions (smartereveryday on YouTube actually has a good example of this but for America), also the wages for workers is another piece.
Some drives are worse than others and higher capacities get worse and worse, in my experience, Seagate drives are extremely loud.
If you get helium drives (like wd red plus > 8TB i think),or 2nd hand hgst/ WD enterprise drives) they are significantly quieter.
But, having an ssd is cheaper probably. I have an SSD for the boot drive and all databases, configuration folders, etc... In docker so general IO is fast, then media, documents, pictures, etc... On the big HDDs.
It would require an entire separate TPM chip, integration of it on the main PCB, and all the the firmware and software handling that comes with that, and collaboration with the GrapheneOS team (which I hear on forums and people who have worked with them, is often not a pleasant experience) for an extremely small percentage of their sales.
Doing /e/ or calyx would definitely be significantly easier.
Absolutely can't wait for new battery tech for grid storage too! Sand batteries that can use otherwise-unusable sand, sodium-Ion batteries (or mainly inverters that can handle the expanded voltage range compared to Lithium-based), expansion of pumped water batteries where it works. This is about to be THE time for government-funded alternative batteries across the world. Energy would get so plentiful that it wouldn't even be profitable for fossil fuels anymore. That is the dream. Of course there is a 99% chance that every single government in the world drops the ball completely.
What's the difference between an unpopular opinion and a wrong opinion?
Without MFA, hundreds of thousands more accounts if not millions would be completely compromised. That is just a fact because most people choose horrible and/or completely the same password for everything. Bank account details, credit card info, social security or government ID numbers, etc...
It doesn't have to be as bad as email or SMS. TOTP has been a standard for a very long time and there are a dozen apps for it. Simply enter the app, copy the code, done. SMS and email are less secure anyways.
American companies seem particularly allergic to TOTP for some reason...
