  1. Da muss ich so alt werden, um das erste Mal ernsthaft zu löten.
    Wir dürfen an einem Pilotprojekt von @phyphox teilnehmen und mit dem Smartphone in Schülerversuchen das Planksche Wirkungsquantum bestimmen. Zur Vorbereitung wurden heute die ersten Messgeräte zusammen gelötet. Ein bisschen Arbeit liegt noch vor uns.

  2. Spring bike ride in #Montreal ‘s East End. Going back I pass the mobile trailer that houses an #airquality station. Back in 2019 I was running a hyper-local air quality project using #lowcost sensors for #PM25 deployed on residents’ balconies. The data contributed to driving discussions between the Department of Defense (that hosts the station) and the City to assess the impact of traffic and the port’s activities. For years after the trailer sat unused in the parking lot, but now it is working as station 25: donnees.montreal.ca/dataset/pr

    Et surtout, il FAUT cliquer sur Acheter, en dépit de tous les avertissements, la page obtenue est très bien ! (et pas juste drôle)

  4. “The takeaway from Iran's tactics is that adversaries are likely to combine precision #weapons with #cheap, mass-produced #drones to overwhelm air defense systems so that the #precision weapons can get through.

    Managing this threat means developing #LowCost defensive weapons, produced and used at #scale, to complement the interceptor missiles costing millions that are built to target aircraft and ballistic missiles.”

  5. Pensez à VOS achats : #Amazon ? #Aliexpress ? #LowCost même en magasin ?

    On nous dit que prix moins = plus de pouvoir d'achat (objectif à méditer d'ailleurs) mais en vrai on en perd car nos #emplois sont en concurrence avec les autres pays donc nos salaires baissent...

  13. Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I have had the Xiaomi Band 7 for a while but I didn’t wear it properly until the start of the new year. As a silly concept I thought that I would try to wear it for the entire year and so far I have kept to that resolution. Sometimes it’s worth trying the cheapest device that you can find to see how it differs from the flagships by Suunto, Garmin and Apple.

    PAI

    The first thing that I enjoy is that it has the PAI indicator. The Personal Activity Index. The idea is that you should reach 100 points per week. If you go for a run you can get 45 points within an hour or so. If you walk for one and a half hours you may get 18 points or more. It’s just to indicate whether you have exercised enough, without putting pressure on high energy sports like cycling, running and others.

    Training Load

    It also gives you an indication of training load. The four categories are low, optimal, high, and very high. Despite just walking for the last seven days the indicator is at a high value for me, with a training load of 193 over the last seven days.

    Sleep Tracking

    Recently I have found sleep trackers less reliable than I used to. The main reason is that I let various watches and fitness trackers guess when I am sleeping, rather than telling me. If I get up in the night then it discards the first stage of sleep and just tracks from the moment I went back to sleep. I used to track sleep nightly, but with time I lost interest. When you have tracked at least a thousand nights the results are less captivating. I also started to worry about how quickly it was affecting mobile phone battery longevity.

    Seven Day Battery

    Whilst on the topic of longevity, one of the key advantages of the Activity Band 7 is that the battery lasts for seven days or more, between charges. You place it on your wrist and forget it for seven days. Apple Watches prove to be especially frustrating because you have to charge them every 18 hours and the charge time can be from two and a half to three and a half hours long. It tends to need to charge just as I want to walk, rather than at a reasonable time. With the Band 7 this isn’t an issue.

    And Finally

    I like the simplicity of the device. Tracking walks, runs and more is easy. It uses the phone for GPS tracking so this enables the device itself just to count steps and measure heart rate. Some people might want more but if you always walk, run, and more, with your phone, then this is a great device. It’s light and small on the wrist. It has a wealth of displays to chose from. I chose a mountain landscape, with the digital time. For 40-50 CHF this could be a good device for children and non geeks, as long as the parents and teachers tolerate children listening whilst fiddling, rather than fighting to stay awake in class.
