In the age of rising energy uncertainty, having a backup system that blends autonomy, portability, and smart control isn’t just a luxury — it’s peace of mind. Over the past few months, I’ve been testing the EcoFlow Delta 3 Pro as my personal energy buffer. I pair it with a small balcony-mounted PV panel...
There’s a myth in product development: that the only “serious” way to build is to start from scratch. Clean repo, empty PCB, no baggage. It feels pure. It feels like control. But in practice, it’s often the slowest, riskiest, and least pragmatic path you can take. Our method is different. We call it We...
The European Union’s ambitious Green Deal envisions a carbon-neutral continent by 2050, with renewable energy sources forming the backbone of this transformation. Yet as we race toward this sustainable future, we’ve inadvertently created one of the most vulnerable critical infrastructure ecosystems in modern history. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) – the solar panels, wind turbines,...
Europe’s grid isn’t one company—it’s a 50 Hz, cross-border IoT machine run by many TSOs (transmission operators) and thousands of DSOs (distribution operators) under ENTSO-E’s umbrella. That shapes security: a mistake (or attack) in one country can echo into another in seconds. This article breaks the tech into plain language, shows the physical and...
In a world dominated by centralized infrastructure and always-online expectations, Meshtastic stands out as a quiet revolution. It’s not just a clever project or an open-source oddity—it’s a functional, practical, and increasingly powerful tool that enables off-grid, encrypted communication using inexpensive hardware and no cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Whether you’re a backcountry hiker, a...
The world doesn’t need more AI hype — it needs tools that work. I personally treat AI tools as just the next hammer in my tool belt. For sure, you’ve heard statements like: “Yeah, sure I’ll go with that idea, but you know Webpage, Logo – it’s expensive and I don’t have time for...
I bought the Elgato Stream Deck XL about a year ago. It’s an amazing piece of tech that justifies my poor economic choices (For all gods sake, it’s buttons with screens for 250EUR). But after a year, I still love it, and I’ll tell you why. Use case Most of the time, I would use Stream...
We’ve seen it time and time again. A sleek mobile app designed by a top-tier agency.An edge device engineered by seasoned embedded veterans.A scalable cloud platform spun up by cloud-native DevOps. Each part polished. Each team proud. And yet, somehow, the product falls flat when it reaches the end customer. Welcome to the silent...
The recent blackout that plunged Spain and Portugal into darkness for nearly a day has reignited discussions about the resilience of modern power grids and the potential role of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies, particularly Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), in enhancing grid stability. As the Iberian Peninsula grapples with the aftermath, it’s crucial to explore how V2G could...
I’m an active 3D printer user. I have been for the last 9 years. I started with Anet A8. Boy oh boy, printers back in the day were problematic. I’ve probably tinkered a second printer out of it. Then I moved on to using Ender and Prusa MK3. I also used a few resin...
