Sounds like a good usecase for WebNFC.

Having WebUSB and WebBle everywhere would allow me to ship my IoT application via web only. That would be a win for my productivity, no more messing about with app store shenanigans.

Just heard of this. Still wondering if my fantasy CCTV DVR can serve a web app to my phone and stream the feed.

Hard to google, use "Web Bluetooth API" instead of webble

You probably don't need any Web hardware API for that, just WebRTC.

Are you really asking this? For real?

You're shooting the messenger.

Low cost ARM M series microcontrollers are ubiquitous, and they're all immensely more powerful than the lunar lander computer.

Wireless embedded smartcards from 30 years ago were more powerful than the Apollo guidance computer. It's not a useful benchmark.

Considering Starship's console has big touch screens, a comparison with today's computers would be fairer, but less interesting.

Tribes 3: Rivals is a load of fun. Flying around on jetpacks helps raise the skill ceiling.

I distinctly remember how it was the bare minimum. You'd mount a disk or open a plain text file, and there'd be a lot of strange characters that weren't decoded properly.

And that's why we all had to buy a copy of MacLinkPlus!

Professional embedded developer and Arduino afficionado here: the amount of misinformation and hot takes here is astounding. First, Arduino is aimed at making technology usable for non-engineers. The ease of use makea them a breeze for engineers though. There's nothing wrong with making something serious with Arduino as long as the project fits within the confines of Arduino.

Arduino refers to a company as well as a hardware and software platform. It doesn't only mean an ATMega based board. You can have an ESP32 based Arduino board.

Arduino boards aren't designed for high performance or very high speed signal integrity.They are designed to be easy to use by non technical people.

I see people saying stuff like the ESP IDF and FreeRTOS are easy enough to use for most people. First, Arduino on ESP32 is built on the FreeRTOS based IDF, so people who would rather use FreeRTOS don't exactly know what they are talking about. Second, anyone who thinks FreeRTOS is easy enough to use for Arduino's core audience is delulu.

Use the proper tool for the job. Arduino is for beginners, non-technical people, and for projects with undemanding requirements. Stop pretending that it's a half baked solution for engineers; that completely misses the point of Arduino.

You also now who misses the point? Qualcomm. Why? Well just read the headline qualcomm itself provides.

How is asking for user consent insufficient? I smell Apple propaganda.

Sweet, WebBLE and WebUSB on iOS let's go.

I've taken a few graduate courses at Stanford MS&E through their non degree program, and I give the experience three thumbs up.

Yes some people actually go NDO->part-time-> full-time. It's rare but possible.
