Its been a mad couple of weeks at work but in a quest to skill up while on the road, I found this very cool Udemy course from the guys over at Pinata Consulting, its a beginners course covering Python and focuses on data science use cases (fear not, its not hardcore data science, if it were my brain would have melted). This is the course on Udemy https://www.udemy.com/course/pinata-intro-to-python/ and taken from the course site it covers the following over 12 lectures (01:45:03 run time) How to get up and running…
Read MorePi 4 Cooling Case + Better Thermal Tape
Afternoon, Well my pi 4 (4GB RAM) has been getting little attention seeing as Libreelec is not 100% stable for it but for work I was able to use it for a product that we sell (product needs a vm to run a java app to scan files and this is usually a VM) I was using a hacked pi 3 case as I had plenty around but as everyone knows (unless you are in bunker planning on Nuking Mars) the new Raspberry Pi 4 runs *Very* Warm. I tried…

He has been having charge problems with his LeEco Le Pro 3, namely the phone would charge but battery drain was very high. After some checking it wasn’t a software issue (battery cycle count etc) so I said it probably needs a new battery.

Read More3D printed Newton 2100 Battery….TBC
A good friend and I were stilling in the office one day reminiscing about the “old” cool technology we remembers in our younger days. Over a few days and some ebay’ing, there was an Apple Newton 2100 winging its way 😀 When the Newton 2×00 was originally introduced, it came standard with 4 x AA sized alkaline batteries that were loaded into a battery tray.

All things electric catch my eye and I was looking at bikes for commuting to work and to potter around nearer to home, folding was a must for getting on the tube.
