I've been happy with the awair element[1] for years. It also measures PM2 and temp/humidity/voc.

I was happy with my awair until it died after a mere year and a half from purchase. Now its just an expensive brick.


yeah that was my experience as well : (


I have a similar story, but in our case it was a rental house in the Bay Area. It's been 3 years and who knows how many temporary places to live, and we're still not even close to recovery.

We ended up with the realization that the rental housing stock in the Bay Area are all very old, usually not well maintained and depending on the area, very likely to have or have had water damage, the only thing we could do to get into newly built housing, was to rent an apartment.

The amount of bad information and advise is pretty staggering – if you're adversely reacting to the environment you're in, the best thing you can do is remove yourself from it, then accept that you may never be able to return to it.

Anyway, this all sounds very familiar and you're welcome to reach out to me at <hn-name>@icloud.com – and that goes for anyone else dealing with similar stuff.


There are captive buttons to change gears/direction in the X (2023) where the hazards are, as outlined in the docs: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modelx/en_us/GUID-E9B387D...


What you two are describing may be the addition of Robusta commonly found in Italian espresso blends and more. It's what gives those blends that bitter kick. If that's what you're after, try seeking out blends with 5-10% Robusta.


I also like coffee mixed with chicory in the New Orleans style for that bitter kick. The New Orleans Cafe du Monde (besides brewing it on site) also sells the mixture in some supermarkets for brewing at home.


I also like cafe du monde.

I just had some pecan praline coffee that was amazing. Bottom shelf of the grocery store. I only got it because nothing else was on sale... It might be my new go-to for a while. Give it a shot if you can find it


Sorry everyone but this thread is starting to sound like this https://youtu.be/4ZK8Z8hulFg


There are so many levels of irony with your choice to respond with this meme, in this thread, on this HN post.


There is as always an XKCD relevant to these types of conversations: https://xkcd.com/915/


Because I'm sure more than one person is wondering, the literal translation of "rødgrød med fløde" is "red porridge with heavy cream", not an insult but a traditional danish dessert.

Edit: missed an s in dessert.


Obviously this can be used in a malicious manner, but is that not a problem of ui and not "let's not have the browser talk to Bluetooth devices at"?

Allowing every site access to quietly scan for devices would be pretty horrible, but that's not the case from my understanding.


Based on the documentary[1] about it from 2015, he has partnered with Coke to build and distribute it.

Well worth a watch of you're unfamiliar with the project.

Sorry for your loss. I lack the words to describe the level of empathy I feel when I read your story. Happy to hear you managed to bounce back.

Any advice for people going though a very tough time you'd like to share?


We tried using X.509 certificates in Denmark for proving your identity to the state.

It was a complete nightmare unless you understood what public key crypto is, how it works, and how to configure your browser for it.

Don't get me started about having to move your certificate/keys around.

It doesn't work for the masses.


There's a world of difference between a well-designed pubkey interface like ssh-agent and what you get in today's browsers.

I don't know how feasible it would be to replace passwords for the general public, but if browser vendors were actually serious about security, they could go a very long way towards making client certs feasible just by giving up on their current strategy of putting their fingers in their ears and pretending it doesn't exist.


Something similar in Spain, your mandatory ID card is a smart card, and you can also ask for free personal certificates from the Royal Mint. Works really great to do paperwork from home, but only a minority uses it.


So when are the browser vendors going to fix their interfaces?


> We cannot use the Linux kernel's built in crypto api because it is only exported to GPL-licensed modules.

What a strange choice by the Linux kernel.


The crypto code is all very internal to the kernel, so of course it will be GPL. Besides, I personally think that all kernel drivers should be GPL because they are essentially all derivative works of the kernel. The ability of module loading to get around the GPL is one of the more worrying decisions made by Torvalds.


Why is this a strange choice? Isn't most of the kernel GPL? (and thus, a non-GPL component can't link to the GPL part, as that would be a violation of the GPL, would it not?)
