Here is some more description from their shopping page (https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/nitrophone-10-880?category=4)

The NitroPhone 10 combines security, privacy and ease of use with modern hardware. Long-term software updates of up to 7 years guarantee sustainability and a low price per time. The NitroPhone is based on the high-quality Pixel hardware and GrapheneOS , the most hardened Android for private and professional. Gain full control of your smartphone without Google, Apple, and cloud!

btw: I'm not affiliated with them. Just found this on the internet.


The solution is to know when to use an existing solution like sqlite and when to create your own. So the biggest problem with LLMs is that they don't repel or remind you about possible consequences (too often). But if they would, I would find it even more awkward... and this is one of the reasons I prefer Claude Code over Codex.

Just curious, for what exact purpose are you using Claude? Does it analyze geographic data for you or images or something? Or does it help you writing code that does this? Or does it create visualization for you?

All of those. Applied to urban development; It analyzes GIS layers, validates and extracts data that will be used in text reports, huge time saving mechanical extraction, before it was a bunch of manual steps on each project. I used it to develop a heavy GIS application that hubs many public data providers. And It does help us create the maps/visualizations from that data, again a sort of mechanical transformation. None of these are groundbreaking, but we you stack all of them you end with big time savings.

That was a nice project. Gave GraphHopper some visibility :)

OpenCage did an interview with one of the creators Raphael Reimann:

btw: 2019 moovel kind of merged together with FreeNow (formerly mytaxi) which was recently aquired by Lyft...


Honest question: what is the benefit of such a specialized service compared to just an encrypted file with all your passwords that you share via some common file sharing service (hosted or self-hosted)


Well, we already use password managers for all their benefits: autofill, syncing, password generation, passkey storage etc.

For a while we’re using `pass` which doesn’t have an easy way to share passwords, so my wife and I had duplicates of a handful of passwords, which was annoying when they changed, or when we needed to share a new one.

Moving to Bitwarden meant that we can have a set of passwords that are shared, and we can update or add to it. As the kids have gotten older, I’ve get them using it too, so we can share a small set of passwords with them (wifi, streaming services etc).


A few years ago I switched from KeePass, with the database stored in Dropbox, to a SaaS password manager. My primary reasons where:

- No more sync conflicts when using multiple devices

- Backups are taken care off

- It's harder to steal the database

- Slightly better browser and mobile extensions for auto-filling passwords


I can only advertise our route optimization solution GraphHopper :)

But it comes without an Excel adapter. However, as we provide a well documented API (with OpenAPI spec) you could let claude/chatGPT do some coding to read and write to Excel. (But to our knowledge they already know our API without that you have to provide them the spec)


Thanks for the information!


The problem with thermal solar panels is that you can use its heated water only if it gets warmer than the water in your system, which is not always the case, especially in winter.

Compared to nearly 100% usable energy from normal solar panels.

Furthermore if you have a heatpump you can convert this electric energy into heat energy with a factor of >3 (COP).


Yeah but if you're in a northern climate your solar panels are only generating like 10% of their summer capacity in the winter anyway due to sun hours/angles... winter is just tough for capturing solar energy in general.


I think this can work and instead of that the heatpump pumps the heat into your house (when "solar is plenty") it would pump it into the storage. (I have a similar setup, but heat the water but of course this is rather limited)

unrelated: a simple technical solution to your window problem would be home assistant and a few sensors to notify you when the windows are open too long or open when too cold inside.


It’s more about predictive modeling: At what time + temperature do you close windows, given predicted cloud cover and overnight temperatures/wind?

Come to think of it, if we had a big salt slurry that transitioned at 72F in the floors, that would probably do the right thing. It’d create a step function making it hard to heat above 72, or cool below it.

I wonder how much density changes as these things transition. Would a static pool (mixed by freezing) work, or would it need a pump?


Why not?


Isn't the salary difference more about differences between Silicon Valley (or Big tech in US) and Europe?

One competitive advantage of the US is probably that often equity is involved (although this can be a disadvantage too if it replaces money and doesn't come on top).

Also don't forget that in Europe you often have a better safety net (especially if you loose a job) and lower rent.
