I know you said please, but I'm already sold...
I needed to increase the thickness of a part in a few places.
I couldn't do it in ~1hr of 0.21, but could within 10 mins of 0.22!

Bravo to all of the team involved!

I don't know who needs to know this, but adding "JLCPCB Rotation Offset" to a symbol in @kicad_pcb will offset the rotation in your positions file...

Tracking the power draw profile of my fridge with @LocalBytesShop smart plug & @home_assistant (using MQTT & fine tuning).
Interesting to see how demand changes at per-second intervals – you can see where we used the chilled water dispenser (2 peaks toward end).
Tracked my iPhone charging profile using sub-second values from the @LocalBytesShop smart plug.
Performing pretty well considering I'm pushing it way further than it's meant to go. Couple of quirks in the data but I think those will go away when I switch to longer intervals.

I actually love the idea of replacing the keycaps entirely with some nice decorated ones
Plenty of amazing artists out there 😲

I've had a beta version for a few months now - it's taken pride of place on my desk to control all the random stuff in my house.
Oh, and it's RGB 😍

We are fairly cautious when recommending smart home related devices, as they either they're either 'fly by night' products or have privacy concerns. The two we currently trust are @LocalBytesShop and @shelly_IoT when combined with @home_assistant.

As you can see, I am a person with great enthusiasm.
And by "person", I of course mean orange 🍊

It turns out the Gateron Low Profile switches don't use the same footprint as the Cherry/Kailh regular...
Infuriating
ALT Two mechanical key switches. Gateron Low Profile on the left; Kailh regular on the right The pins and holes are different

I've got these @LocalBytesShop smart plugs on the small appliances then feed that usage data into @home_assistant and then onto @Openenergymon
Although you don't need the latter. I just do that so i've got all my energy stuff in one place. All the bigger items use their CT clamps.

Back in the "YAML only" days of @home_assistant, I shared this on the subreddit:
"If you've never wanted to pull your hair out tinkering with Home Assistant, you haven't explored its true potential."
Years later, it still might be true but with a bit less YAML 😂
I ❤️ HA

Anyone good @TensorFlow!?
I can export ssd_mobilenet_v2 to tflite successfully.
But the moment I tune the model to my own dataset (LCD digits), I lose the ability to export without select opts.
Runtime is @FlutterDev, so I can't easily enable it!
