That is the crux you always need a calibrated sound to calibrate the mic. Best I think this app could hope to do is establish a relative reading. perhaps it could play a set of repeatable tones on the device(assuming being executed from a device that does not have external speakers that can be adjusted/ validate that sound was played from phone speaker and not headphone jack to a dac?) and record those then could replay sounds later to a calibrated device to establish reference. or start recording with some other regular repeatable sound like a vacuum cleaner with video showing how it was positioned for recording.

I don't think you can really do that reliably either. Arbitrary consumer device microphones do not have flat frequency response

for commercial there are 2 options chemical and temp sanitization. From fda food code has to reach 171F to sanitize. most use a inline OnDemand heater with a couple taps so constant temp is close to 170 but will also pipe off steam to do a final sanitize. restaurants will also hand wash their plastics in a 3 sink setup water only needs to be 110F


The idea isn't a bad one in some cases like travel photography. Between background people removal and lightroom a good chunk of travel pictures are not a good representation of what you can expect. on Instagram there are plenty of pictures of people standing alone in front of the Eifel tower or at inari gates in afternoon lighting that is unrealistic outside the pandemic or a 6am shot. Or take cherry blossom viewing in tokyo. More trees are white or very light pink but you would not know that looking at what people post often the camera auto balancing to make them more pink because if it doesn't people think there is a problem with the camera; that incentivizes sony, canon etc to build that in.


that is basically the point the author missed. The PE license is to grant an individual a license for them to certify theirs and others works meets established guidelines. Now over time this may become true that something like level 2,3,4 are vague guidelines now but in future they will become more concrete. At that point it might become necessary to certify that a companies system meets those guidelines for the algorithms used.


I think that could be the killer feature of this use that space for thin batteries maybe only 2500mah. i can carry 3-4 in my bag and have as much battery life as i care to carry around. and rather than push the charging to 30+ watts that turns my phone into a hotplate can recharge 3 batteries at once at 10w in same time. Bonus to apple on accessories sales


Problem is that magsafe means wireless charging which is highly unefficient. It's not that big of a deal for stationary applications, but for attaching a spare battery (which is itself limited by its capacity) you are probably wasting 30% of it on the overhead of the wireless power transfer.


I thought wireless charging was inefficient because the coils were never properly aligned, but that magsafe fixed that.


That's... a really good point! Never thought about it that way.


the pdf are all seed 0 for each game so a static pdf same thing you would get if buying a printed book but set to seed 0


not necessarily; If the police recently busted a <gun ring/drug deal/insert generic illegal activity> paying for goods with that same style necklace(or any mental gymnastics to link the item type to a crime) then they could seize it as surely it is part of illegal activity.


I don't think that is their intention but yeah they need to clarify publish as sell or the start of sale. Later in that answer <For non-content patches (with the exclusive intention of keeping the game compliant with the current SDKs), post-launch, no license is required. However, keep in mind you won’t have access to the repositories if you don’t have an active license.> would suggest continued sale without license is ok.


the main technical side is as he has exploded on youtube he has basically became the defacto keynote speaker at most of the retro computing events. now he is quite knowledgeable in the commodore/vic/pet programming scene however a lot of his other presentations/ videos are collections of community knowledge that he has gathered . that comes part of the issue in the community freely shares tons of info for it to be greatly profited by a few. there is also many cringe at some of his videos where he is given access to rather rare items and doesn't follow 'sane' practices before applying power going as far as saying in one video he is constrained on time to release the video so with a high probability blows up a prototype pc power supply basically for purpose of providing closure to a video.


it was mostly because of fraud. if you are a banker seems quite a nice premise to sell your rich friends a tontine with them and a bunch of Bering sea crab fishermen in it.
