Pioneers were basically modeled after Scouts, just replacing the religious aspects with political ideology. Usually Pioneers were only for ages up to 14 however. After Pioneers, you were expected to join the Young Communist organization (DISZ and later KISZ in Hungary) which was for ages 14-26.
Like the other Jucika camp comic, this one also more likely references the youth labor camps usually run by DISZ/KISZ.
The "youth camp" back in the period these were drawn likely refers to a youth labor camp (rather than a recreation camp) These were a common thing during socialism - basically high school and college students were "volunteered" to help with seasonal labor (often crop harvesting) when school was out, and sometimes with large construction projects, irrigation/drainage, etc. It was generally unpaid and more or less mandatory work, but also an opportunity to live in a camp with other young people for the summer and socialize, so most people remember them quite fondly.
It says in the manual that it'll only connect to 2.4GHz networks, but I have both frequencies active on my router, and no dice.
Are they using the same name (SSID) ? Some 2.4 only devices won't connect to a network with the same SSID on different bands. I have a separate IoT SSID available on 2.4 only for such devices (it's also on its own VLAN)
Crazy thing is this was built in like the 1880s - my apartment building in Chicago is older than this castle. And the structure of the new castle was built out of brick, with stone cladding on the outside to give it the castle look.
They even dynamited actual medieval twin castle ruins that were on this site to make room for the new castle.
Also, it's the president of Slovakia, Peter Pellegrini...
USSR was not Axis ffs... Axis was Germany, Italy and Japan and their allies during WW2 - the enemies of USSR, which was allied with the US in that war.
2nd world refers to the Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War, including USSR and its sphere of influence, as well as China
The #1 best show is Twin Peaks: The Return of course :)
What kind of battery did you put in ? A standard alkaline battery has different voltage discharge curve compared to the recommended rechargeable NiMH batteries (example)
You can't really measure the capacity of a battery directly, all you can measure externally is the voltage, so the logic has to make some assumptions about the type of battery being used when calculating percentage. Since they recommend the LADDA rechargeable batteries, which are NiMH, they probably set the 100% threshold lower - perhaps as low as 1.2V, so as long as whatever battery you are using is above this voltage, it will show up as 100% - it might take longer for an Alkaline battery compared to NiMH rechargeable, but later you might have the opposite problem, when the reported percentage will start dropping faster for Alkaline vs NiMH, due to the different discharge curve characteristics.
More sophisticated devices can sometimes have a learning function, where they observe the voltage curve over a full discharge cycle of a battery, and then adjust the % reporting to more closely match, but since every battery can be different, this is still not always accurate. The discharge curve can be affected by temperature as well, further complicating the issue.
Since these sensors are supposed to last up to 15 months on single charge, and it actually wouldn't be too unusual for a device like this to report 100% battery for up to the first 1/3 of its battery usable life (especially if using Alkaline batteries), 3 months is probably still within reason. There is often some intentional padding as well by manufacturers, as they don't want customers to see big drop in battery percentage early on, as this might cause people to make ultimately incorrect predictions about total battery life, and complain or return the product.
