And it was crap. I bought the Philips model, 200 bucks (for a frigging toothbrush… what was I thinking) and the internal brush mount couldn’t handle the vibrations and broke. I took it apart and it was very obvious that the construction would have never been able to hold on
Okay, if this is going to be a whole project you probably want a commercial supplier. Based on your geo-preference, one recommendation would be Formulor:
https://www.formulor.de/material/mylar
You can upload your own SVGs for laser cutting and engraving, the whole process is rather automated. They offer templates for Inkscape or whatever the matching, closed-source Adobe product is (Illustrator maybe?)
I linked the mylar material since that would be my recommendation for stencils used for e. g. painting, spraying etc. Mylar hits an excellent balance between cost, handling and durability.
Formulor is probably not the cheapest supplier, but it’s reliable and instant with no customer support agents involved and requires no quotes and approvals being sent back and forth.
How many do you need?
Unfortunately, you can’t just put plants everywhere. CO2 conversion is also highly dependent on light levels, which sufficient light levels not being achievable everywhere.
Office buildings with a large number of people meeting rooms etc.) could also benefit from monitoring.
Heck, even at home, I have a room that quickly accumulates CO2, easily reaching 2000ppm with just a single person being inside, which makes spending prolonged time in said room a tiring affair.

Maintaining the illusion? Not revealing the (impossible) DC?
I went through so much bullshit, it’s the last guilty pleasure I have in this world. I deserve at least that.
Sure, but you just said the same thing as I did. Do you think you can trust brands? Or that any company actually cares for their customers, as long as they can get away with it? Or at all, if the fines are smaller than the profits they gain from exploitation?
The solution is what you mentioned: independent testing (and systematic changes, but that is a whole other topic)
Sunscreen works, just not if you buy it from shady manufacturers that try to maximize their profits and care about nothing else.
By that logic, the best thing to do for the environment is to die - which is probably true, it’s just not a very good (or even particularly interesting) argument.
Fantastic Four 588. The Human Torch was killed by Annihilus one issue prior, so Ben is mourning.
… because they woke up and chose violence?
No, it’s not. Lego has been bullying local distributors of other brick systems (e. g. CADA) by issuing patent claims, knowing very very well that those claims are false and the patents have expired long ago.
However, customs has to hold and store the shipping containers until the court settles, and they charge for it. A lot. This forces small shops (down to your local mom&pop toy store) to pay for customs storage fees, for weeks, sometimes months. These costs are high enough to force small shops out of business, mind you.
Along with the declining quality of the sets and the increasing cost, Lego is very well a shitty company.
Jesus, how do you people always come up with the most inane conspiracies. I have a company that manufactures devices that communicate wirelessly. The new RED is a huge pain in the ass, along with the CRA.
Absolutely no company pushed for this. The new legislations and directives cause a ton of additional work and obligations for companies, e. g. software has to be certified as part of the compliance check, things that were previously approved via self-reports now involve trusted 3rd parties, and reports of violations to government bodies are now mandatory.
And you know what, even though this costs a bunch of money that could go elsewhere and the whole thing is so new that even the certification bodies have no idea what is going on, even though we have to setup completely new processes, spend endless hours documenting things, I still appreciate both initiatives.
As an end customer, I would love if e. g. the software that runs on the mobile payment terminal taking my card info is certified. I would love if the developer of the software running on the PLC on my shop floor has to check CVEs, inform me about security issues and has to deliver 5 to 10 years of updates.
Not a fan of Samsung and their shitty software, but they’re simply preemptively covering their ass, nothing more.
I’d also still want to unlock my bootloader. I’m sure the whole legal situation will become less muddled, enabling just that.
Even having a funny and weird relationship with my mother, this would be suuuuper cringe. And inappropriate.
What? We’re not talking about death here, what kind of a reply is that? We’re talking about making a decision at a very young age that might have irreversible consequences, a decision many 20yos are simply ill equipped to make, in particular, when alternatives exist.
No, they’re not always reversible. You can opt for one that isn’t, and even if you decide to go for it, it might simply not work.
I’ve had a vasectomy. Give it a few years, 22 might be a bit young.
I happen to work in machine learning. You are most likely referring to the Stanford Gyrophone paper. Given that the sampling frequency of the gyroscope sensor on typical smartphones is extremely limited, you can only get very low frequency content (Nyquist).
It wouldn’t be possible for any human to process or understand the recorded signals, so the researchers trained a machine learning model on the recorded samples, with a very limited vocabulary consisting of only the digits from 0 to 9 and “oh”.
If the model was not trained on the particular speaker (requiring annotated training data for that particular speaker, which would be almost impossible to get in the assumed scenario), the recognition rate was 26%. For a vocabulary of 11 words.
It’s a nice proof of concept, and doubly so if tge CIA considers you a target, but otherwise it’s not happening.
The ket spell is a cantrip.
