I’m currently in engineering undergrad and this looks like it’ll be a lifesaver. Wolfram Alpha can do some pretty good work with units sometimes. But a lot of the time it’ll do weird stuff like refuse to interpret “V” as “volt”, so you have to type out the full name of every single unit. This language should handle that a million times better.

Not really. Fluorescent UVC lights are very similar to black lights, they just don’t have the fluorescent coating inside the glass. LED lighting also shouldn’t have been significantly more expensive.

Personally, I have a very old Kindle Fire mounted to the wall that I set to never go to sleep. Its still powerful enough to run a web browser to access the HA interface, so it’s a good use of tech that would otherwise be sitting in the obsolete pile. However, it is just powered with a USB cable hanging across the wall, so not super elegant.

Again, the impact is nothing more than that from a standard lightbulb. Should you stare right at the UV LED at full intensity? Probably not. But should a small amount shining through a filtered medium be of any concern? Not at all.

I’m confused, are you implying that 3D printers are giving off harmful UV light? Because they only use UV-A, which is non-ionizing and won’t damage your skin any more than regular sunlight (actually, it’ll damage it less.)

Ah, I see. If you’re really looking for a beginner option, I might just setup a Samba share for the drive. Then you can get into more advanced options once you get more comfortable.

How come the folder share you currently have isn’t sufficient? Most systems should be able to access Samba, so what particular goal are you trying to accomplish?

A patent alone doesn’t really mean they’ve been actively working on it for that long. It’s very common for companies to register patents for things they don’t plan to produce (either ever, or until some future point.)

What type of external screen is it? Many generic monitors (i.e. not Apple) require a separate USB cord from the monitor to the computer to use the monitor’s USB ports.

I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile after having problems with the cooling coils freezing over. My question is, what sensor would you use for this? A battery-powered one would need to be recharged and a wire running into the fridge would break the seal

I’m guessing it will be backwards compatible. The Wii, Wii U, DS, and 3DS all had backwards compatibility, and the only reason the Switch didn’t is because it has a vastly different architecture from the Wii U (and no space for a disk drive). I can’t imagine that the Switch 2’s architecture will be vastly different from the Switch, and they’ll both presumably use cartridges, so I’d say there’s a very good chance of backwards compatibility.
