Dive into satellite IoT with the new Arduino-compatible Iridium Certus 9704 Development Kit

IoT (Internet of Things) devices can be very useful, but they do, by definition, require internet access. That’s easy enough when Wi-Fi® is available, and it is even possible to rely on LoRa® and cellular data connections to transmit data outside of urban areas. However, deploying an IoT device to a truly remote location has […] The post Dive into satellite IoT with the new Arduino-compatible Iridium Certus 9704 Development Kit appeared first on Arduino Blog.

PSA: part of your Kagi subscription fee goes to a Russian company (Yandex)

Today I learned that Kagi uses Yandex as part of its search infrastructure, making up about 2% of their costs, and their CEO has confirmed that they do not plan to change that. To quote: Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use. To put this in perspective: removing any single source would degrade search quality for all users while having minimal economic impact on any particular region. The world doesn’t need another politicized search engine. It needs one that works exceptionally well, regardless of the political climate. That’s what we’re building. That is unfortunate, as I found Kagi to be a good product with an interesting take on utilizing LLM models with search that is kind of useful, but I cannot in good heart continue to support it while they unapologetically finance a major company that has ties to the Russian government, the same country that is actively waging a war against Ukraine, an European country, for over 11 years, during which they’ve committed countless war crimes against civilians and military personnel. Kagi has the freedom to decide how they build the best search engine, and I have the freedom to use something else. Please send all your whataboutisms to /dev/null.

Alvik Fight Club: A creative twist on coding, competition, and collaboration

What happens when you hand an educational robot to a group of developers and ask them to build something fun? At Arduino, you get a multiplayer robot showdown that’s part battle, part programming lesson, and entirely Alvik. The idea for Alvik Fight Club first came to life during one of our internal Make Tanks, in […] The post Alvik Fight Club: A creative twist on coding, competition, and collaboration appeared first on Arduino Blog.
