Picked my KW902 apart today to see what’s inside. It features probably a SN65HVDA1050A CAN tranciever (ISO 11898-2 high speed up tp 1 Mbps) a BK3231S SoC for Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 programmable via JTAG/FLASH both controlled by a PIC18F25K80 (cheapest of the family, also up to 1Mbps bit rate, comforms to CAN 2.0B) programmable via ICSP.

The pins for ICSP may be exposed on the cable for the LED and RST button but since I don’t have the equipment to read out the firmware I didn’t look too closely and called it a day – for now. This cheap IC costs ~2 EUR btw and is well documented.
Sometimes I let my pc play music at night. Spotify still didn’t manage to implement a sleep function (even gorram Audible has this – and chances are the app crashes way before anyway).
I usually use `shutdown -h 60` or similar. Suspend tho? That’s another story. Hint: “suspend” is a bash builtin and not what you’d expect 😉
Looks like this changed (again) from `pm-suspend` to… systemd:
Did you know `ncdu`? I’m using this for years to find out where all my precious disk space is lost. Unlike other solutions it works in a terminal and this way even on remote servers… or gorram mobile phones always short on anything.
This game is a little gem for colony/base builders (and mayhap even SIM players). There is so much going on and it takes some time to get all the details even at it’s slow pace. Sadly not much is explained in-game [yet?]. Figured most stuff out by playing or watching others play. I still absolutely recommend this. It’s very relaxing and hilarious fun at times when an unfortunate chain of events culminate in an unexpected disaster 😀
This game always had a very steady progress, unlike other EA games, and it was fun keeping an eye on it and watch the improvements over time. Remember that this is an Indie and not a huge studio. I’m a dev myself and I tell you it’s amazing what S. Roth managed to achieve here. He could also be reached e.g. via Discord or Twitter so I’ve absolutely no idea why some people here complain that they were ignored. Mayhap they were simply rude?

Don’t give the bad reviews [on Steam] too much credit. The annoying repeating crashes e.g. that many players describe did only happen in fact for Windows players due to a bug with async operations in a library from Microsoft. That was not related to the game itself, and is fixed by now. This game didn’t crash for me in hours on Linux so I believe this statement by the dev. And to this dude blaming this killed his hard-disk or boot-loader or whatsoever: Just no. This is not how computers work o0
Visited Castle Hohenzollern 72379 / Germany. Well.. can’t say much. It’s very huge, tourist oriented and kinda expensive (parking, shuttle, entry, entry and tour, food.. you name it). We skipped the exhibits due to time and costs and just enjoyed the view. It’s probably worth a visit but bring your wallet along and expect crowds.
