I'll have to build my own, apparently.

@oblomov è vecchissima ma su Android 15 funziona

@uz oh interessante ora vedo, ma per qualche motivo Google Play Protect la considera pericolosa.
A proposito, permette di “girare la clessidra”?

@oblomov è pericolosa perché non progettata per Android recenti. La clessidra gira, la sabbia no scorre però 😁

@uz ah ok 8-D
L'ho provata, ma girare la clessidra non “inverte” il tempo, che è quello che serve a me. Mannaggia.

So, I built my own #hourglass “web app” because I couldn't find a decent one.

There's presently only a small aesthetic bug because of the way I'm realizing the “hourglass” figure via pure #CSS, but that's something I will fix after coming back from the rally against the Gaza genocide we're having here in Italy.

I have now reached a sufficiently good point in my #hourglass “web app” development. You can check it out here:

If I did things right, it might even be installable “on your desktop”.
I don't know if anybody else needs something like this in their life, but do let me know if you happen to find it useful.

I think my next improvement will be to add audio to it. I'm thinking single beeps for the last 10 seconds and then a truck horn when the time runs out.

@oblomov It seems too fast on both my pc and my phone. The 180s timer took around 20 seconds to end.
It reminded of the time I broke every record I made on Moto Racer after changing the screen resolution 😁

@sparkit it is too fast. I'm trying to understand why. It's unexpected because I'm firing JS setTimeout()s every 40ms and subtracting that from the timer, and it's known that setTimeout() can fire *later*, so either I'm doing something very wrong in the JS or the timer is firing too often. I probably should rely on some smarter (and more accurate) timing system.

@sparkit found the bug 8-D

@oblomov è molto carina, complimenti! Non riesci a disegnare i contorni della clessidra? Se ne può fare certamente a meno ma sarebbe ancora più realistica

@uz ho messo un bell'highlight rosso, va bene cosí? 8-D

Something like this:
Wife isn't too happy about the choice of the horn for the end-of-timer sound, for her the hourglass makes her think of @jmechner's Prince of Persia so she would prefer something like the first beats of the PoP intro sounds to play. The heartbeat for the last 10 seconds could also be an idea. But obviously those sounds are copyrighted so I have to find free alternatives (preferably under CC0 or similar free culture license).

@GustavinoBevilacqua yeah there's where I took the horn sound.

“Acoustic” update on the #hourglass timer: now the last 10 seconds play a heartbeat, and the end-of-timer sound is some breaking glass. Moderately happy with the results, I dislike that the hearbeat is not as regular as I would expect it to be.

Studying a Battle Born LFP Battery’s Death Under Controlled Conditions
The test setup for the Battle Born LFP cycling. (Credit: Will Prowse, YouTube)
There has been quite a bit of news recently about the Battle Born LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries and how they are dying in droves if not outright melting their plastic enclosures. Although the subsequent autopsies show molten plastic spacers on the bus bars and discolored metal in addition to very loose wiring, it can be educational to see exactly what is happening during repeated charge-discharge cycles at a fraction of the battery’s rated current. Thus [Will Prowse] recently sacrificed another Battle Born 75 Ah LFP battery to the Engineering QA Gods.This time around the battery was hooked up to test equipment to fully graph out the charging and discharging voltage and current as it was put through its paces. To keep the battery as happy as possible it was charged and discharged at a mere 49A, well below its rated 100A.
Despite this, even after a mere 14 cycles the battery’s BMS would repeatedly disconnect the battery, as recorded by the instruments. Clearly something wasn’t happy inside the battery at this point, but the decision was made to push it a little bit harder while still staying well below the rated current.
This led to the observed failure mode where the BMS disconnects the battery so frequently that practically no current is flowing any more. Incidentally this is why you need to properly load test a battery to see whether it’s still good. In this failure mode there is still voltage on the terminals, but trying to pass any level of current leads to the rapid disconnecting by the BMS, even while as in this case the plastic spacer on the bus bar melts a little bit more.
Despite these very rapid disconnects and observed thermal issues, the BMS never puts the battery into any kind of safe mode as other LFP batteries do, leading to the melting plastic and other issues that have now been repeatedly observed. The discoloration of the battery terminals that originally started the investigation thus appears to be a result of higher charge currents and correspondingly higher temperatures.
Worryingly, Battle Born recently put out a statement – addressed in the video – in which they completely disavow these findings and insist that there is no issue at all with these LFP batteries. Naturally, if you still have any Battle Born LFP installed, you really want to test them properly, or ideally replace them with a less sketchy alternative until some kind of recall is issued.

@evan sounds like you’re developing a Napoleon complex

I'm surprised they do not want my soul and my newborn.

@jon_bon same here. If I can't do that, then there's really no point in not buying an iPhone. I wonder if Samsung and other Android phone makers have been asked about how this will impact their sales?

@grote guess I'm never buying a new phone ever again
