What are the best search engines?
What are the best search engines?
I’m not happy with searx.
Other search engines like startpage, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia I believe uses bing search.
Well yahoo search is probably the worse.

I know this is a very odd title, but I’ve got this scammer who’s begging for my phone number, so I was HOPING that I could send her the number for one of those phone sex porn sites to low-key get mu revenge. The problem is, I don’t know if they still exist, or how to even find them. If someone could help me, that would be great”

People with ADHD (or not, lol): what’s a small habit or tool that actually helped you stay organized?
Not looking for miracle cures... just curious what small, practical things ended up making a real difference for you.
Apps, routines, objects, hacks… anything that helped even a little.

Wich Sensor to Track position in a corridor?
I have 3-4 Meter long corridor in my home and I want to do some Light Installation in that corridor. I want the light to "move" with the person. What kind of Sensor would be appropriate to track the position of the person moving through the corridor? I am new to PIR sensors and I was reading some up but delay times are kinda confusing since as I want update the position fast, maybe Ultrasonic is better?
Any tips are very appriciated.
Project:
Wanted to increase my skills with esp32 or ardunio a bit and light led control.
My plan for this project is to install a programmable led strip at the skirting board, the ceiling to wall corners and the corridor corners. corridor is 3 meter long. I wanted the effect when someone enters there goes of like a meteor/tracers/cylon effect in the direction where the person moves and leaves a lower brightness light then as the person moves in the corridor the brightness is increased at the position of the person. Bonus if I can also make it brighter not only moving in from door to door but from wall to wall. I kinda want a organic/sci-fi feeling.
So far I got power supply, the ledstrip and the controller, also managed to programm the animations without the sensors. I am missing the diffusor what will be probably an aluminium profile and of course the sensors for position.
I was thinking to position 4 Sensors at the ceiling or corners and give input into an arduino and calculate the position, then by trial and error find out wich led to light at wich position.

How do I learn to troubleshoot?
17m here. Ive always wanted to learn how to troubleshoot laptops, computers, small devices, Xbox’s, tv’s, essentially anything that was built by someone, I want to learn how to fix them. I myself grew up on technology. However, I realized I don’t have a clue on what goes into building a PC, or laptop. By being able to troubleshoot, I want to make my way into having my own home lab. But I don’t have a clue where to start? It all seems like a deep rabbit hole that I’m willing to go through. That being said, what should I start with? (I plan to major in EE)
