Recently, there was an IoT related question about WiFi modules on EE.SE. Wifi-enabled IoT boards with AP mode and SSL The question itself has been closed as primary opinion based, which it was actually. Also there was product recommendation request in it which is also off-topic on most of the S...

can I ask something

10 Replies

nope, we don't like fun here

jk, what do want to know @MohamedIqzas?

Or not... You don't have to post your question if you don't want to...

Ghanima

1:21 PM

@MohamedIqzas of course you can

Mohamed Iqzas

how the apps for showing public bus timings work?

GPS or RFID?

Ghanima

I do not know

Mohamed Iqzas

have you ever used such an app?

10 Replies

Where I live, each of the buses have computer systems and they broadcast their locations after every stop.

Mohamed Iqzas

broadcast through internet?

i want to test it out on a single bus. I want to do it in my location

any idea how it will consider the traffic on roads to estimate timings?

On the central brodcasting node you would just use the google maps API

Say hello to your benevolent dictator of Internet of Things chat!

Ghanima

All hail to Aurora, first of his name, protector of the realm.

Ghanima

good thing in setting up your dynasty here is that you already have an heir apparent

@Aurora0001 yeah, I think your subjects would like that

maybe this loyal subject could offer his humble service to thy highness

Aurora0001

@Ghanima to be honest I should probably add someone else (or maybe a couple others) as owners

Ghanima

and why is that?

Ghanima has added Helmar to the list of this room's owners.

Aurora0001

Even the mighty Aurora0001 isn't awake all the time

Ghanima

ok, then I propose the even mightier Helmar

Aurora0001

No opposition from me

Also, we have 418 users so far (roughly)!

Ghanima

Alas! Praise our benevolent overlord :)

Aurora0001

Keep going like that and the transcript on the side will be full of my praises :P

Ghanima

Very good idea, Sire, a very cunning plan.

Aurora0001

Why would anyone ever need "Cancel Stars" as an owner power?

I suppose if you want to get rid of it from the transcript

but even so seems a bit odd

Ghanima

@Aurora0001 well, Mylord, you could fix it according to the 2 star rule

Aurora0001

4:09 PM

Or I could just pin message praising me :P

sounds like a much better plan

and move anything I don't want to a different chat room

Ghanima

@Aurora0001 well, I guess, that function is still missing

Q: Annoying suggested edits indicator

Since I reached 1k I have an annoying all-time present suggested edits indicator stuck at 8. It's stuck at eight. At first I thought it might be the problem about my own edits being shown. ( Number of suggested edits seems to include own edits ) However, it did neither resolve itself with anot...
