2023.06.07 10:50 whyismyserverlagging Flipper zero doesn't detect my transmitter
I have a tx-3314 transmitter made by AutoMicro, supposedly using either 434 or 304 MHZ. I can't detect it in any way. Tried reading raw with a bunch of settings and tried the frequency analyzer, nothing seems to happen when I activate the transmitter.
How would I troubleshoot this issue? My flipper can detect other transmitters just fine, however with this specific model it doesn't seem to work. Tried with multiple transmitters of this type.

2023.06.07 09:55 GLKnight JOHN WICK was already set in another Film Universe
As one of, if not THE most popular film franchise that's not part of a Superhero Universe, John Wick has been a central force in the name of Action Cinema since the first movie. An original, powerhouse universe of nigh unstoppable assassins, militarized Crime Families that have practically overtaken all systems of governments and public life centralized around their shadowy cabal of Marquis and High Table officials, centralized "sanctified" grounds for them to conduct their business and far more.
But what I'm theorizing is that this story of bloody revenge, underworld dealings and criminal carnage between cartels is NOT set in its own universe. Instead, I'm proposing that the film is set in ANOTHER universe of criminal dealings where centralized gangs fight both each other AND different factions of Mafia families for ground and access to the same avenues of finance and power they control.
So let me just get straight into it...
WHAT IF JOHN WICK IS SET IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS 1979's THE WARRIORS?
Now, this theory automatically excludes the original novel from 1965, as the film is essentially "in name only" when you compare the two. This also isn't taking into account the spinoff material both properties have, including comic books.
But when you look at both The Warriors and John Wick closely, you start noticing some rather interesting similarities that end up going just past the mark of "nods" to other bits of Cult Cinema.
The first thing you have to look at is overall atmosphere, because both are dripping with Comic Book style environments and characterization. From the beginning of The Warriors, we see the gangs slowly gathering together for the event being hosted by the enigmatic leader of The Grammercy Riffs, Cyrus. Cyrus speaks in bombastic quotes, providing almost Shakespearean quotations as if he's Henry V proceeding to muster the spirits and convince the collection of colorful characters that proliferate each gang - The Warriors, The Furies, The Rogues, The Punks, The VC Rangers, The Electric Eliminators and so on - that are constantly fighting over "turf" and keeping each other from unifying against both the Police AND (in a very interesting detail) the varying Crime Families that have control over everything they live under. And in a weird way, the John Wick franchise has a SIMILAR character who speaks to the "lower common denominator" of criminal life - The Bowery King, who essentially leads all the "street level" gangs of the setting, who stands against what the Families have done, and stands as an untouchable figure when it comes to the areas that the Families have no power over.
The second thing we must look at is genre, which will be the simplest to explain - while John Wick has the additional tag of "Neo-Noir", BOTH properties share the Action Thriller moniker. Both films center on characters fighting for survival, coming across an assortment of interesting characters with unique style and ways they fight. Arguably the weakest element to the theory, but it has to be stated none-the-less.
Third is story elements. In the JW franchise, it's very interesting to see that while assassins and trained killers duke it out in public arenas, you notice that pedestrians and civilians seem to be utterly unphased by the battles happening around them. This makes it seem that such violence has become commonplace, almost like they have been trained in their daily lives to expect it to happen at any given moment. In fact, it seems like the Families of the High Table actively prepare people for such occasions, emptying out places when they can. Part 4 is probably the most egregious example of this, as entire apartment buildings are surrounded by signs of life and whatnot, but then a battle happens and every living space is unoccupied.
In direct comparison, The Warriors takes place in New York City in the late 70's. A bustling city that is known as THE nightlife center at the time. But then you look at how desolate the streets seem to be, how empty a lot of buildings happen to be, and it becomes a little unsettling. Like someone knew the Police raid at the Gathering of the gangs at beginning of the film would cause those who escaped to scurry away, leaving them exposed to getting jumped. The Warriors, in particular, are the victims of this as the Grammercy Riffs put out the call that they are to be taken out. In the language of John Wick's universe, they have been made excommunicado with the added bonus of a bounty being put on their heads.
Now, for probably the most obvious bit that ties The Warriors to John Wick... THE DJ. This is the piece that really cemented this idea in my head. In both The Warriors and John Wick part 4, a radio DJ is used to put out the hit in coded language. Both with sultry voices. Both using the exact same code phrases. Both using the EXACT SAME SONG, although covered by two different artists - this being NOWHERE TO RUN by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas. If you take this into account, it's more than a coincidence.
So, what does this all imply?
The High Table was behind the hit on Cyrus, who was a legitimate threat to their plans. Promising The Rogues exactly what each gang has been looking for to foment chaos, allowing the brutality of the police (who we see have been in the pockets of the High Table since the first film) to come in and dismantle a vast majority of New York's street level crime that had been a thorn in their sides. An extremely plausible tactic - using someone on the inside to cause damage and then using crushing force (which they are overly fond of using, given the scores of bodies and broken people in the various fight scenes) to finally supplant their power over the gangs. But what they didn't expect was for the gangs to go underground, as a new leader stepped up to unite them all under one banner.
The banner of the Bowery King. An outside force that, in the forty years since The Warriors aired, brokered a truce with the High Table. Negotiating some of the gangs' tactics and knowledge and collective strength in exchange for the freedom to act as free agents, all under the purview of the High Table and the criminal families that sit at it.
Is this theory perfect? No. Does this theory rely on coincidences? You could make that argument. But once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and anything three times or more is a pattern. And when there's a pattern, there's nowhere to hide.
Also, a coincidence involving both The Warriors and John Wick? The upcoming series centering on The Continental in New York City that's dropping in September of 2023 is oddly timed to fit within the limits of both The Warriors AND John Wick timelines.

2023.06.07 09:04 Curious-File-2848 Help with interfacing of Aurora 8b10b core and Xillybus PCIe core
Hi all, back again with another beginner question. I'm relatively new to FPGAs and had the opportunity to serve an internship for data recording using FPGAs. For context, I'm trying to receive data from the SFP+ port on an FPGA and send it to a storage device on a PC via PCIe lane. I previously posted for help on programming the Si5324 clock on a Virtex-7 board here and managed to get really good advice and got it to work.
Since then, I've managed to send dummy data from a Kintex-7 board (temporary placeholder for actual data) to the main Virtex-7 board using Xilinx's Aurora protocol. I've also managed to setup the example design provided with Xillybus's IP core to perform a data loopback at the PC side via the Virtex-7 PCIe lane. I have instantiated these 2 separate projects into a common project and I am thinking the next step is to create an interface to connect the output data of the Aurora design as inputs to the Xillybus design so that I can start sending some data to the PC.
My rough understanding is that I'll have to connect the Aurora outputs to a FIFO provided in the Xillybus demo code. I am slightly confused about the signals required on each side though. The Aurora design has an AXI TX interface inside of which i can pull signals out but what do I do after this as the signals accepted by the Xillybus FIFO looks different.
I've read through the documentation provided by Xillybus and it mentions that only the inputs of the demo code have to be modified but it doesn't really go into how I go about doing that. I haven't had much luck finding similar implementations online and was wondering if anyone here has done something similar and knows where to find resources for this or provide some guidance.

2023.06.07 08:45 uncleA_300 Lawn & Landscape SMB owners, what are you paying your employees?
I just started a small lawn maintenance and light landscaping company this spring. I am located in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area.
As of current our service offering includes the basics, mowing, hedge trimming, flower bed maintenance and mulching, and plant/hedge removal/installations. The business is taking off way beyond what I can handle on my own and I am looking to hire 2-3 guys for my current route meanwhile I transition to focusing more on growing and expanding the business.
With that being said, I am curious as to what similar companies are paying for their labor. What are you paying your foreman/crew leaders starting out and what are you paying your general crew members/laborers starting out. Also, what is your labor costs expressed as a percentage of gross sales? How about overhead as a percentage of gross sales? Trying to get a better idea of what numbers should look like in this industry. I run a lean and mean operation and need some benchmarks to compare my numbers too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Far-right Republican representatives from the House Freedom Caucus today launched a battle against House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), accusing him of violating the agreement he made with them in order to get their backing for the speakership. Angry at the passage of the deal to suspend the debt ceiling and keep the United States from defaulting, they blocked two bills today and apparently have decided to oppose all legislation that comes before the House unless McCarthy puts in writing what they understand to be the deal they made.
Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) said: “The end game is freedom, less government, less spending.”
If the far right is trying to dismantle the federal government, the White House is working to advertise the effects of its use of the federal government for the American people.
Today the administration unveiled a new website called “Investing in America.” The site tracks both the public infrastructure and the private investments sparked by the laws like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, breaking those investments down by category.
While the Republicans since 1980 have claimed that tax cuts and deregulation would spur private investment in the economy, it appears that Biden’s policy of public investment to encourage private investment has, in fact, worked. So far, during his term, private companies have announced $479 billion in investments under the new system, while the government has directed more than $220 billion towards roads, bridges, airports, public transportation, addressing climate change, and providing clean water. The website locates and identifies the more than 32,000 new projects underway.
The site also highlights the high rates of employment in the U.S. and the addition of new manufacturing jobs, as well as lower costs for prescription drugs and health insurance.
Separately, the administration noted that its plan for migration across the border is “working as intended.” The pandemic-era Title 42, put in place by Trump in early 2020 to stop the spread of COVID, went out of operation at midnight on May 12, and while Republicans insisted the reversion to the normal laws governing immigration would create a crisis, in fact unlawful crossings have dropped more than 70%. Still, the administration emphasized yet again today that Congress must address “our broken immigration and asylum system.”
While President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are returning to the traditional idea—embraced by members of both parties before 1980—that investing in the country benefits everyone, much of the Freedom Caucus has thrown in its lot with former president Donald Trump, who calls the Democrats’ ideology “communism.” So convinced were Trump’s supporters that Democrats should not be allowed to govern that they tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
One of the key figures in that attempt was Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, who as a representative from North Carolina was a founder of the House Freedom Caucus (along with Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio and Ron DeSantis of Florida, among others). As Trump’s chief of staff, Meadows was close to the center of the attempt to keep former president Trump in the White House. His aide Cassidy Hutchinson provided some of the most compelling—and damning—testimony before the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Meadows refused to cooperate with that committee and was found in contempt of Congress, but the Department of Justice declined to prosecute. When he seemed largely to drop out of public view, there was speculation about his role in the investigations into Trump’s role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
This afternoon, Jonathan Swan, Michael S. Schmidt, and Maggie Haberman of the New York Times reported that Meadows has testified before a federal grand jury in the investigations led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. It is not clear if Meadows testified in the matter of the election sabotage or in the matter of documents taken from the White House when Trump left office, or both. One of his lawyers refused to comment but told the New York Times reporters that “Mr. Meadows has maintained a commitment to tell the truth where he has a legal obligation to do so.” I cannot help but contrast that statement with one from another American leader seventy-nine years ago.
On June 5, 1944, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was preparing to send Allied troops across the English Channel to France, where he hoped they would push the German troops back across Europe. More than 5,000 ships waited to transport more than 150,000 soldiers to France before daybreak the following morning. The fighting to take Normandy would not be easy. The beaches the men would assault were tangled in barbed wire, booby trapped, and defended by German soldiers in concrete bunkers.
On the afternoon of June 5, as the Allied soldiers, their faces darkened with soot and cocoa, milled around waiting to board the ships, Eisenhower went to see the men he was almost certainly sending to their deaths. He joked with the troops, as apparently upbeat as his orders to them had been when he told them Operation Overlord had launched. “The tide has turned!” his letter had read. “The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!”
But after cheering his men on, he went back to his headquarters and wrote another letter. Designed to blame himself alone if Operation Overlord failed, it read:
“Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”
The letter was never delivered. Operation Overlord was a success, launching the final assault in which western democracy, defended by ordinary men and women, would destroy European fascism.
A year later, General Eisenhower was welcomed home as the hero who had won World War Two. But for all those noisy accolades, it was the letter of June 5, that he wrote in secret, alone and unsure whether the future would find him right or wrong but willing to take both the risk and the blame if he failed, that proved his heroism.

While President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are returning to the traditional idea—embraced by members of both parties before 1980—that investing in the country benefits everyone, much of the Freedom Caucus has thrown in its lot with former president Donald Trump, who calls the Democrats’ ideology “communism.” So convinced were Trump’s supporters that Democrats should not be allowed to govern that they tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
One of the key figures in that attempt was Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, who as a representative from North Carolina was a founder of the House Freedom Caucus (along with Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio and Ron DeSantis of Florida, among others). As Trump’s chief of staff, Meadows was close to the center of the attempt to keep former president Trump in the White House. His aide Cassidy Hutchinson provided some of the most compelling—and damning—testimony before the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Meadows refused to cooperate with that committee and was found in contempt of Congress, but the Department of Justice declined to prosecute. When he seemed largely to drop out of public view, there was speculation about his role in the investigations into Trump’s role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
This afternoon, Jonathan Swan, Michael S. Schmidt, and Maggie Haberman of the New York Times reported that Meadows has testified before a federal grand jury in the investigations led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. It is not clear if Meadows testified in the matter of the election sabotage or in the matter of documents taken from the White House when Trump left office, or both. One of his lawyers refused to comment but told the New York Times reporters that “Mr. Meadows has maintained a commitment to tell the truth where he has a legal obligation to do so.” I cannot help but contrast that statement with one from another American leader seventy-nine years ago.
On June 5, 1944, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was preparing to send Allied troops across the English Channel to France, where he hoped they would push the German troops back across Europe. More than 5,000 ships waited to transport more than 150,000 soldiers to France before daybreak the following morning. The fighting to take Normandy would not be easy. The beaches the men would assault were tangled in barbed wire, booby trapped, and defended by German soldiers in concrete bunkers.
On the afternoon of June 5, as the Allied soldiers, their faces darkened with soot and cocoa, milled around waiting to board the ships, Eisenhower went to see the men he was almost certainly sending to their deaths. He joked with the troops, as apparently upbeat as his orders to them had been when he told them Operation Overlord had launched. “The tide has turned!” his letter had read. “The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!”
But after cheering his men on, he went back to his headquarters and wrote another letter. Designed to blame himself alone if Operation Overlord failed, it read:
“Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”
The letter was never delivered. Operation Overlord was a success, launching the final assault in which western democracy, defended by ordinary men and women, would destroy European fascism.
A year later, General Eisenhower was welcomed home as the hero who had won World War Two. But for all those noisy accolades, it was the letter of June 5, that he wrote in secret, alone and unsure whether the future would find him right or wrong but willing to take both the risk and the blame if he failed, that proved his heroism.

The square which once hosted coronations and executions, was first constructed in the 16th century. The square’s name and functions changed several times over the course of history, but it started out as a popular marketplace. Today, Plaza Mayor is famous for outdoor cafes and restaurants, the statue of Philip III on a horse, and the much-anticipated Christmas market. Don’t skip one of many entrances to Plaza Major, such as Arco de Los Cuchilleros, the most famous one. The square is home to the historic Casa de la Panaderìa, which served as the town’s main bakery hundreds of years ago. It is now also home to The Madrid Tourism Center. Visit other squares in Madrid, like the famous Puerta del Sol dating back to the 15th century. Number 9: Food & markets Madrid is packed with exquisite bars, elegant restaurants, colorful markets, and sophisticated outdoor terraces. The city is a melting pot of Spanish cuisine, highlighting the country's diverse food culture. Start your day with a serving of tasty churros dipped in hot chocolate at Chocolatería San Ginés. Spaniards are known for going big for lunch, so huevos rotos, paella or any other typical spanish meal is a great option. Enjoy your lunch or dinner at authentic places, like Casa Toni, and order one of many delicious food options. And finish your day at the most popular food market in Madrid, Mercado de San Miguel, and try delicious appetizers called tapas with a glass of authentic Spanish wine. This century-old food hall is famous for its cast-iron structure and with its ideal and convenient central location, and flavors of every corner of Spain, the Mercado de San Miguel attracts over 10 million visitors annually. Visit also other food markets across Madrid. Number 8: El Retiro Park El Retiro is a vast green space, home to expensive gardens, beautiful lakes, and numerous historic buildings. Once a royal park designed for King Felipe IV in the 17th century, El Retiro is now a popular public area. Rent a boat at El Retiro Pond, an artificial lake, The magnificent Palacio de Cristal or Glass Palace conservatory, a former greenhouse that now houses art exhibitions. On any given day, the park is filled with people of all ages enjoying the outdoors, including local musicians and performers entertaining the public, especially on weekends. Don’t skip the Monument to Alfonso XII, The Rose Garden, with over 4,000 roses, and Puerta de Alcalá, once the main entrance to the city, located just outside the park. Did you know that the park was once a part of a royal palace complex, but during the Peninsular War at the beginning of the 19th century, the building was seriously damaged and couldn’t be restored? Madrid offers other beautiful parks. Check our travel guide for more suggestions.

Number 7: Matadero Madrid Matadero Madrid is a cultural arts center located in a former slaughterhouse and cattle market built between 1911 and 1925. The complex is now home to several contemporary art studios, museums, exhibition areas, and theaters. After its successful renovation in 2006, Matadero Madrid caters to various fields of art interests with numerous programs you can visit, including ongoing art exhibitions in one of many buildings across the complex. We visited a unique immersive experience in Madrid Artes Digitales, exploring the evolution of works of Gustav Klims through virtual reality, exhibition spaces, and an interactive room. And while you are in the area, you can explore the beautiful Madrid Rio Park and the banks of Manzanares River. Number 6: Palacio de Cibeles The Palacio de Cibeles, inaugurated in 1919 is an exquisite example of Neoclassical architecture. This iconic building once housed the city's main post office and telegraph and telephone headquarters. The building is now home to Madrid City Council, used as a City Hall and a public cultural center. Don’t skip the magnificent Glass Gallery, a multi-purpose venue for various events, or the stunning view of the city at the Mirador observation deck. Check our Madrid walking tour to get the real feel of the surroundings and the entire city. The link is in the description. Number 5: Atocha Train Station Madrid's central station, the Atocha Train Station from mid 19th century, is a sight worth visiting, even if you’re not traveling by train. This unique transportation hub is also a gateway to Madrid for travelers to other parts of Spain and Europe. Over a century after it was constructed, Atocha's old train shed was transformed into a luxury hub in 1992 and now includes the Greenhouse Atocha, a botanical garden composed of an extensive collection of tropical plants. The greenery is a great and relaxing sight for the passengers. Did you know that Gustave Eiffel, the leading engineer of the famous Eiffel Tower, collaborated on the renovation project of the train station? Number 4: Templo de Debod Experience a piece of Egypt right in the heart of Madrid. Templo de Debod is an actual over 2,000-years old temple relocated from Egypt, originally a shrine built to worship the Egyptian god Amun. The temple was a gift of gratitude by the Egyptian government to Spain in 1968, after the UNESCO’s efforts to help save several monuments and archaeological sites from being destroyed while constructing the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River. You can also visit the interiors and admire its hieroglyphics and sculptures. If you don't have time to visit the interiors, also because there is usually a very long line of people waiting to see the temple from the inside, you can still admire it from the outside. It is especially enchanting during the sunset. Surrounded by charming parks and gardens, the site is a local favorite for scenic strolls, picnics, and even yoga. Number 3: Queen Sofia Arts Center From classical collections to modern installations, Madrids’s Golden Triangle of Art consists of three world-class museums and is considered a mecca of global excellence in art, history, and culture. Visit Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, a museum of 20th-century art opened in 1992. The museum is named after Queen Sofia and is situated close to CaixaForum art center. Queen Sofia Arts Center houses a collection of art from some of the most famous artists in history, including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of interactive exhibits, making it an ideal place to spend the afternoon. In addition to the arts center, the museum also houses a library, auditorium, and café.

Number 2: Gran Vía Spain’s vibrant capital is also a renowned shopping destination. Gran Vía is Madrid’s most famous street, also known for its iconic and remarkable architecture. Built between 1910 and 1930, Gran Via was essential to Madrid’s development and modernization. Tagged as the street that never sleeps, the Gran Via also boasts next-level nightlife experiences, driven by luxurious bars, renowned theater productions, high-end street art, world-class designer stores, and enormous shopping malls. You will hardly run out of options in Gran Via, with the numerous stores by popular fashion brands such as Zara, Mango, Primark and high-end boutiques. Besides shopping, visitors can also watch theater and musical shows since the city is also known as the Spanish Broadway. Don’t skip the first skyscraper in Spain or the Iconic Metropolis office building, one of the major highlights of Gran Via. BTW, did you know that the biggest Zara store in the world is located on Gran Via, right across from Plaza de España. Number 1: Palacio Real A visit the Palacio Real will take you on a journey through Spain’s royal history. The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official home of the Spanish Royal family. And while the royal family no longer actually lives there, the palace is still used for state ceremonial purposes. The palace, open to the public, comprises over 3,000 rooms, including the Throne Room and the Royal Armoury. Next to the palace is the Neo-Romanesque crypt Catedral de Almudena, the seat of Madrid’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese, consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993. Behind Madrid’s grandest church is Parque de Emir Mohamed, the location of the ruins of the Muslim Walls, built in the 9th century during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. Don't miss beautiful Neoclassical Sabatini Garden right next to the palace or an English-style garden - Campo del Moro. And here is the bonus that we promised. Flamenco is Spain's most celebrated dance and music style, commonly performed through rhythmic clapping, feet stamping, and emotional vocals and guitar. So, if you have some time left, visit one of the countless flamenco shows thought the city. Although flamenco is a form of Spanish folk music and dance that originated in the Andalusian region, Madrid became a epicenter for those looking to succeed in this special genre. This unique art form is believed to have developed from intermingling cultres of Andalusian Roma, Sephardic Jews and Moors from southern Spain. There are many other attractions and neighborhoods to discover in Madrid. We wish you a fantastic trip to this amazing metropolis! |

2023.06.07 07:46 GeekUSA1979 Is it ok to lose interest with someone just because they do substances?
Hi all, I'm 20, male. I am currently talking to someone and it's going pretty well. However, I just learned that she's into "substances". Now I don't mind people doing weed, and I can deal with them doing hallucinogenics (LSD, MDMA etc), but I have a problem with people doing other substances, more so the white powder. I've had women who I have been in talking stages with send me videos of them doing powder off of their phones or in clubs and stuff like that and I've just blocked them straight away. My question is, is this an okay thing to lose interest in someone because of? Or should I just accept that most people, especially at my age, are doing these types of things, and should just learn to get with the times and suck it up? I don't do substances, barely drink, hate clubbing/nightlife culture, and i feel like an outcast in my generation because of that. So it's not like i'm being a hypocrite. PS: Im using the words "substance" because this post has been blocked when i use the D*ug word
