Possibly for the same reasons there is no equivalent to JLCPCB outside China.

OSH Park, Aisler, Eurocircuits, DKRed?

So... I ask Gemini to write a technical spec and Claude Code to implement it?

Basically a week-end project...

Any Oura people reading this? That would warrant a 50$ to 75$ up sale , at least.

I would buy that oura-security ring in a heartbeat.

This is a great example of use outside the box they got themselves in.

The solution is simple: market this as a trigger for the pebble voice. Only thatz. Nothing else. Make the electronics as simple and cheap as possible. Sell it as an option to the watch. Less than 30$ would be ideal.

Voila.

This is super cool! Now someone should make a similar poster with Hello World sent to a serial port.

Bonus points if it is a RS485 port.

Some language that seem to look good might show their true ugly face...

An espresso is about 30 ml of liquid... I am not sure this mixture of milk and sugar (and more sugar!) into 30 ml can still be called a "coffee" , but i'm sure it is a delicious beverage!

I like espresso-style coffee. Over the years i discovered that the very best espresso shots do have a rather strong chocolate note. No acidity, no bitterness.

Unfortunately I also found out that it is basically impossible to get that kind of quality from coffee shops. You must make it yourself, have the right equipment (the grinder is the most important one) and a lot of practice. Then you might have one in 10 god shots... but you taste it... you immediately recognize it.

You can achieve near 100% great shots. I have a decent grinder, Robot Cafelat manual machine, and found the beans and roasting level I enjoy form a local roaster. Total under 900CAD.

Agree about not being able to enjoy any other coffee anymore.

Yes! China invests heavily in the future. Automation, technology, better processes, you name it.

This is exactly what Cherry did NOT do. Now we see the end results.

Not so sure about that.

The US-ians voted twice for Trump so far. I have difficulty seeing the good it did for the world , let alone the USA and the US-ians.

Specifically for corporations, giving everyone in the world the power to vote for dismantling Meta (a world mega-corp) might be interesting to see , though.

He is doing good to his supporters, at least as far as they think. He has delivered all sorts of stupid, cruel and self-destructive stuff that they want.

The problem is that they wants have been steered in that direction by decades of cynical media manipulation, but that's just the nature of democracy.

They could, but they have not, and I don't perceive that risk to be particularly enhanced just because they are chinese.

This is just FUD you are spreading.
