How ChatGPT is Changing the Game in Data Analytics

This weekend, I had the opportunity to subscribe to “ChatGPT Plus.” I spent some time exploring how AI, like ChatGPT, will change the way we work with our data. Currently, I am working on a large enterprise financial transformation project. So – why not starting with a simple order intake to end-up getting the Profit & Loss statement from ChatGPT? The results were astonishing, which made me wonder if we should rethink the way we Read more…

Thank you for your order with Banggood – or how to build a Smart Home Switch for $4.00

It all started with an article in my favourite computer magazine Heise – WLAN Plug with Tasmota. So I could control some 220V devices, like a floor lamp with my OpenHAB Super-Cheap – Smart Home Solution Smart Home. Some 220V devices don’t need a plug, I want to control them with a tiny switch and not a big plug on the wall, here I found this- 4€ each from China…will this work? After one month Read more…

The buttons a made for 1000 clicks, so I thought I would be save. But I didnt realize the “power of Amazon” and under-estimated the SW and HW that is build into Read more…

Proudly presents….it becomes a CASE!

After a long time the MCW was standing outside in the cruel world – now I found its time for a real home  – lets build it a home with 3D Printing. I have used Tinkercad before, for my calendar (check out this picture) Now, the MCW Watch-Case is more complicated, because – when I build the watch and the PCB – I did not think about the case. Hence -the case had to be Read more…

Mobile Application Development is easy! Really?

We are all using Mobile Apps we download  from Google Play – and use them every day.    But -do we ever think about the developers?   I do – especially since I developed a Mobile App on my own 🙂 What did I build?

Back from the bin – how to get new live into my wonderful Samsung Tab S2 Tablet

In my very perosnal opinition, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is one of the best tablets ever. Not because its so fast or great, but because its the perfect combination of performance and weight. Just light enough for reading in the evening (super thin),  enough performance to surf the internet and good sound to watch a Netflix. But…build in 2016.. and guess..no more updates from Samsung. Action needed… Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (9,7, Wi-Fi sm-810) Read more…
