Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless

RF Engineer on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Looking for a job... Let me know if you hear of anything cool...

@ElectronicsbyJH Let me guess… a way to push solar inverters off the grid when they cannot properly sync to the grid

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@hulkintosh @Matt_Pinner That’s the only one I haven’t done… unless it is listening to music on a Walkman.

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@DonaMcqueen There is one in Ingleburn, NSW

@ptorrone @arduino @Qualcomm @fviolante The ORIGINAL open source definition was that the source code was readable so you could examine it but was not necessarily usable/editable. This seems to meet that definition.

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@PhoenixBlackNow It could be an app causing this, or could be Bluetooth related. Maybe the TV was a return and someone paired their phone with it first, or something. Dunno. Something to look at in the menus to see if there is anything else paired

@BobMcGwier_N4HY The USA is certainly not really all that high on my list to visit right now!

In essence, the movie was missing its soul.

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

Saw #Tron last night. Alas, it was bad. And this is someone who had a good friend who worked on the original Tron movie released in 1982, and should probably have got an Oscar for it, if they allowed that for CG movies at the time…

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

Part of the beauty of Tron was the opposition army, which were almost like storm troopers from Star Wars; and also the games being played between between programs. That was mostly missing.

@i2cjak @DailyDigiKey Alas, they refuse to ship to Australia, even through re-shipping sites. Love the hardware. Hate their commercial operations

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@fictillius Presumably the public are authorised to remove stickers on trains and stations too!

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@i2cjak As someone who held shares in Altium from their IPO until their buyout… LONG LIVE KICAD!

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@i2cjak Once blew a transmitter on a movie set with a bad 12V ground. And my MacBook's ethernet port and input on a Tek handheld oscilloscope with a different grounding issue with two wall wart power supplies.

@retrobike_c16 As an engineer, this is why I prefer running :)

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

@teltonika So, how about you bring back Message Get/Post, even if we need to have a big stamp saying that we accept the risk. Because I have done the risk assessment, and I have not been able to actually think of a situation in my chase where having HTTP/s GET/POST actually increases risk

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

Hey @teltonika.. It might sound like a good idea to disable HTTP/s GET and POST on your routers and insist on API, but you have just made your router mostly useless for me sending SMS from embedded systems

[Darryl Smith VK2TDS - Redshift Wireless @vk2tds]

So, I and many of my clients are left with a now inferior product. I now need to tell each of them NOT to upgrade the firmware on their routers.

And other clients not to buy @teltonika routers. One was just about to buy several for their business for IT alarms
