I wonder which IoT devices are affected, beyond DIY, that people actually use in North America.

Not with that attitude!

J/K we were set to have a couple plants ready to go this year, but who knows now?

Love to see it also, but hate that they use the words ‘perceived attack’.

Passive voice bullshit.

I know right? Stealing 600 million from Albertans is a new low, even for them. Then to fire the CEO when she starts investigating!

Thanks! My province, Alberta, apparently had STV back in ze day.

Everyone in the comments are taking issue with applying tariffs on Chinese EV’s, and I’m downvoted for saying that maybe we should support Canadian industry first.

Fuck cheap EV’s when the cost is supporting totalitarians and losing Canadian jobs!

Weston Family, paupers that they are 😅, only own 20% of the UK Wittingtons.

But I see my mistake in assuming that both Wittingtons had stake in ABF.

I’m deleting my earlier comment about them being owned by jerks because it’s clear they’re owned by good Christians like Emu-Krasnov.

The ESP32 chip, developed by Espressif Systems, is widely used in various IoT (Internet of Things), embedded systems, and consumer electronics due to its low power consumption, built-in Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, and high processing capability.

Devices That Use the ESP32 Chip

1. Development Boards & Microcontrollers

ESP32 DevKit series (official Espressif boards)

M5Stack and M5Stick series

Adafruit HUZZAH32

SparkFun ESP32 Thing

LilyGO T-Series (T-Display, T-SIM, T-Watch, etc.)

WEMOS Lolin D32/D32 Pro

2. Smart Home & IoT Devices

Sonoff Smart Switches and Plugs (e.g., Sonoff Mini R3, Sonoff S31)

Shelly Smart Relays (e.g., Shelly 1, Shelly 2.5)

Tuya-Based Smart Devices (many smart home products use Tuya firmware on ESP32)

Air quality monitors (e.g., AirGradient open-source air sensors)

IoT Sensor Hubs (various DIY and commercial solutions)

3. Wearables & Portable Devices

TTGO T-Watch (ESP32-based smartwatch)

Heltec WiFi Kit Series (LoRa-enabled IoT devices)

Fitness trackers (some DIY and prototype models)

4. Robotics & DIY Electronics

ESP32-CAM (ESP32-based camera module)

DIY drones & robots (used in hobbyist and educational robotics)

3D Printer controllers (e.g., ESP32-based Klipper controllers)

5. Industrial & Commercial Products

ESP32-based vending machines (wireless payment systems)

Smart irrigation controllers

Energy monitoring devices (e.g., OpenEnergyMonitor)

Smart locks & security systems

6. Audio & Multimedia Devices

ESP32-based web radios

DIY Bluetooth speakers

Smart light controllers with voice assistants

Why Is ESP32 Popular?

✔ Low-cost & powerful (dual-core, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) ✔ Great for DIY & commercial IoT applications ✔ Strong developer community & open-source support ✔ Compatible with Arduino, MicroPython, ESP-IDF, etc.

Marco: you fired air traffic controllers, Emu!

Emu: nuh-uh

Yes, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has initiated significant changes within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including the dismissal of numerous air traffic controllers and safety officials.

Key Developments:

February 5, 2025: Following a mid-air collision over the Potomac River, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced DOGE’s intervention in the FAA to “upgrade our aviation system.” Elon Musk emphasized plans to implement “rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system.”

February 17, 2025: Reports confirmed that Elon Musk authorized the termination of hundreds of FAA safety officials. David Spero, President of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, criticized these actions, highlighting potential national safety risks.

Additionally, SpaceX employees were assigned to the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center, raising concerns about conflicts of interest due to ongoing disputes between Musk’s companies and the FAA.

These measures have sparked debates regarding the implications for air traffic safety and the potential conflicts arising from Musk’s dual roles in private aerospace ventures and federal oversight.

Since they’re different systems, I’m wondering which you prefer since pushing a general nebulous philosophy rarely works in a movement, it’s best to get specific about what you want. Unless you’re Trump.

Thanks for the heads up about democracy watch.

Do you think that PR or MMP (Mixed Member Proportional) would work better for Canada though? I’m feeling pretty good about MMP now that I’ve read up on it.

Does fair vote seem to have a consensus on what election method(s) are best for election reform? Likely proportional representation is in the mix, but are there others?

They aren’t even Canadian in the first place.

Then we know who gets helicopter rides when the rides turn. Never forget!

It’s bread and circus friend. Forcing congressmen to go public with their stance on the issue.

Thank you! I hope she gtfo to Murca, and takes all these 51st state fucks with her. This is not the time to talk about that shit.

Even if by some miracle we could join Murca, we wouldn’t be a state! We’d be a territory like Puerto Rico with no rights and no vote. Stupid bootlickers.

I think that they all could use anti-harassment and violence training since the trend of misbehaviour is not going away.

It’s frigging school-yard bullying and it’s easy for most to fall prey to.

Okay, but these are totally different! They’re a fresh new idea! They’re not even called company towns! And we’ll pay workers in crypto! No one will own anything! Except me! See?! Totally different!

/s in case it’s not clear lol
