I was merely giving voice to the annoyance anyone would feel when hearing about the Pi Zero for the first time trying to buy it only to discover that whoever had it in stock only sold it bundled with a lot of stuff you don't want. I o

not a problem with lead solder. I prefer not getting cancer from the flux in the lead free solder.

cool - can't get the bare Pi Zero w in germany yet - maybe supplies will normalize in a few weeks - It would be a swap in replacement for my current handheld Project.

Ya I ordered it from the UK in the end - postage was annoyingly expensive and I also ordered from the Pi Hut.

its not hard at all - a 10EUR iron will do frankly if you aren't a complete spaz :) the pin spacing is just as large as with the "grownup" RPI just don't use lead-free solder - no good reason for it and it makes solderin

<rant> Sadly its extremely hard to buy any Pi Zero at the sticker price. Its always out or not available - and even if you can get em you only can order a limited amount (in the case were I got lucky it was 1). The Pi Zero W seems to

well its also wrong - and the account is kinda young - its clearly a trolling attempt - don't feed it.

don't feed the troll - there are so many arguments against this that the comment was likely engineered for maximum wrongness.

aww cute - 3 minutes old and already sprouting nonsense. (I'm talking about the account age - obvious troll is obvious)

I think the fact that it needs to have Wheels and be aerodynamic as possible while having a decent amount of interior space has more to do with it. And even without a motor you still need a crumple zone for safety.

Rechargable Lithium batteries contain surprisingly limited amounts of it. And its not in there in its elemental form anyway. Lithium batteries burn because of the potential energy they have after charging. You can drive nails through dis

looking at it I wonder how good the track pad is.

uh, because a GUI based on a flat "desktop" metaphor with overlapping square interfaces works so damn well. And the places where the metaphor differs from a RL desktop its because its more convenient that way - say like how docume

1. the chances that a random old device you bought at a fleamarket with cash is pre-loaded with an attack package thats targeted to you is low. Lower than say ordering a phone in its "originaly sealed" package. Since Snowden we kn

its amazing for how many of the diagrams i think - "heh i did that and sorta know how to wing that by hand in KSP".

by blkhawk 11y ago
Well I am pretty sure playing KSP will give one a much deeper "feel" for orbital mechanics. The linked page contains all the math if you actually want to calculate the orbits optimally. I think i will stick with mechjeb. :)

If you went to the CCC camp this summer in Germany you could have gotten a SDR with your badge. The badge [0] (called rad1o) is a hackrf-compatible SDR for frequencys between 50 and 4000 mhz. Maybe somebody at a local hackerspace went and i

TLDR; You find cherry picking, curve fitting, ignoring inconvenient data, and disregarding known physics.

Not that again. No it does not take decades to pay back the energy cost of the production of Wind Turbines or Solar Panels. Win turbines have an average payback time of 2-8 Months. Solar panels are far worse but even there the payback ti

As a german i can tell you having the german flag on anything is a bit weird.

that american flag on the label makes the whole device suspect to me.
