this is what I dont understand. so many apps are almost website-like in functionality, and you can save a shortcut to the desktop / main screen and it will launch / look like an app. complete with notifications (if enabled). What's the barrier? (another poster mentioned not knnowing anything outside of the appstore, but then "Share -> Add to Home screen" is a pretty damn simple flow.

You would be surprised, I have never seen anyone who doesn't work in tech in my life who even knows that this is an option.

looks like this is a variant of the other "portable mini thermal printers" available on aliexpresss https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002247175933.html

possible these are compatible or at least similar enough, many similar products re-use modules and microcontrollers.

Did anyone else notice that title of word document in the second product image is "From spyware with love"?

Searching “Cow Tipping Championship in Vegas” eventually led me to this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20061117144904/http://www.spywar...

Though how a 2005 blog post from a website selling antivirus software ended up being used as mock copy in a product photo is still a mystery to me...

kudos for doing the quick research into the actual topic and background of the situation at hand instead of soap-boxing about hypotheticals.

This should have been mentioned in the original post as it gives some much-needed perspective about the scale of the contribution.

we use these in our CI/CD pipelines as we deal with embedded hardware. they work absolutely awesome for power cycling stuck USB peripherals or powering USB-powered boards for tests.

I’me working on an embedded project and would like to setup a CI/CD pipeline. Do you have any recommended resources?

There was a presentation about CI/CD for embedded systems at HITB+CyberWeek a couple of days ago: https://cyberweek.ae/2020/ci-cd-with-sast-and-dast-for-embed...
