Twelve billion is a 12 with 9 zeros after it.
Lop off 4 from the 120,000 leaves you with 5 zeros, and the twelves cancel, so 100,000 per person. Divided by 3 is $33,333 per person per year.
So, yeah, your math didn't math I'm afraid.
Probably still a good bit cheaper than most people's rent in NYC, but still very expensive.
Fair. That's a clever solution to getting around the problem of needing to duplicate your set up.
It is a big step up in complexity though, as you now need an IR receiver as well as an IR blaster, some sort of physical button(s) on the device that puts it into "learning" mode to detect what signal it needs to duplicate (and indicate if it's learning volume up or down), and all the additional development overhead each of those entails.
You'd probably see a good jump in the parts cost too. Especially as, when adding more controls and sensors, it increases the complexity of the enclosure you'd put all this in, meaning you probably would need some CAD work done as well. Or someone willing to do some precision woodworking.
All told it's probably about three to five times harder than just knowing the correct IR sequences up front and baking them into the product, so you'd see a commensurate increase in price.
Gotcha. The tricky part with that is gonna be that it's specific to the model of your entertainment system.
Means that if whoever you have working on it is non-local, they'll need to find a duplicate of your entertainment system to test on to make sure it works, which is obviously not super feasible.
If a local buddy asked me to build something like that, I had the time, and I charged fair market value for the work, you're probably looking at a couple grand.
If it was a good buddy and I only charged for parts, it'd probably be only a hundred bucks or so?
I wouldn't even really consider doing it as a remote job, as getting a copy of your receiver is more trouble than it's worth I think. Depends on the receiver to some degree though I guess.
I have the gamesir, and I like it a lot. My one complaint though is that the USB-C is just too long to be "right" when I don't have a case on my phone, but just too short to work with a case on my phone. I really wish there was a way to adjust the depth of the plug. :/
I mean, if you can't afford half rent I assume that implies you're living with your parents or something paying no rent as opposed to paying full rent?
Like, not to be rude or whatever, but it sounds like a relationship should be pretty low on your priority list.
Which, like, isn't a condemnation of everyone who lives at home. Plenty of reasons to do that that are good and reasonable.
But if you're doing it just because you can't afford to do otherwise, and don't have plans to change that, that should probably come first before you start looking into a relationship.
Was intrigued by "no other symbols" than open and close bracket. Was curious how that would work while still being intuitive, so I looked at the examples. I'm now confused what you could have meant by that.
Just glancing through the example code I saw +,-,>,<,=, and ;.
Like, at that point you've pretty much covered all the standard symbols. What "no other symbols" are there? Curly braces and pound signs?
And I'm not sure how beginner friendly this actually is, looking over the examples. Like, I feel like python is currently the "low bar beginner language" that you're competing in that space with, and I don't see what this is offering over that in terms of easiness.
Sure, python has more "functions you need to learn" I suppose, but if the answer to that is, "you don't have to learn them in kcats because they don't exist and you have to implement them yourself," it seems like a detriment rather than a boon...
It's the Palestine flag. The comic is comparing Palestine to the Ukraine.
The comic ignores the fact though that a two state solution has been proposed many many times, only to be rejected every time.
