Highly recommend using project boxes, like tackle boxes or craft project boxes to organize stuff. I use a rainbow craft box [1] which has a bunch of smaller compartments and it works well. 1 - https://www.michaels.com/produc

I'm not sure what electronic components you keep needing that are time sensitive?If you are doing analog/radio stuff, I'll be honest... it's pretty bleak. Personally I just factor in 10 days for my project and have a boa

Thats kind of what I was getting at with the Canadians, but Griner is a good example too.

Yes, there are many examples if you simply google "china imprisoned business trip". When the Canadian government arrested a Huawei exec who was ignoring Iranian sanctions and lying to US investigators, the Chinese government arres

You realize the vast, vast majority of the electronics industry and many other industries have very little choice in the matter (for the time being at least). That's great you can make that decision, but there are many who don't h

I don't feel like china is a bustling international tourist destination. I assume most people visiting have family ties or a specific purpose for their visit like business, not going there "just because I can".

They will if the US threatens them with sanctions or requires export licenses and they see their value in the US market being greater than the CN market. ASML is a really good example.

Increased globalization and US public policies of the 90s and 2000's encouraged this activity. To say it was any specific reason, like corporate greed, is hand waving away the complexity of the problem. There were many, many reasons fa

We might be talking about different ranges... I was talking about repositioning/ferry range, which the a10 has about 2500 miles vs the f35s 1500 miles. Combat ranges are like 250-300 for a10 and maybe 500-700 for the 35. The big reason

Not really. I'm not a lover of china, but I don't wish ill on people who go there or think people should have to deal with arbitrary enforcement of laws because you are from a foreign country.

Travel advisories are meant to inform travelers of risks... not provide commentary or political discussions on domestic policies. When I worked at a huge company, I found that most advisories from state department quite accurately portrayed

I wouldn't be surprised to see this activity ramp up drastically over the next few years. Anti American sentiment has been growing and their state media has been really pushing it as well due to the semiconductor and trade embargos for

Uh, an a10 can outrange an f35, it's just slower to get there. It also can carry a heck of a lot more munitions than an f35 at 50% less cost per hour, with a longer service life. I'm not saying that the 35 isn't an excellent

It does, but the fact that SU-25s, which are effectively the same vintage, are still flying in Ukraine is pretty amazing to me. I could see a use of the a10s as a launch platform for 200-500lb loitering munitions to get them in range of fro

If they are investing in it, they sure as hell aren't getting a big bang for their buck from what I have seen. Their man portable counter UAS systems are a fucking joke and only work on common stuff that isn't designed for heavily

The war in Ukraine has shown that highly integrated drone operator's with small UASs can fill that role. In the future, it isn't going to be a USAF or CIA operated drone circling at 40,000 ft, launching a $200,000 missile or dropp

We also have an issue of enforcement, I'm not sure if you know... but many, if not all of these behaviors could be acted on with existing legislation. Anti-trust at the federal level and a multitude of state laws on paper make it illeg

If the US military ever requires manpads to down enemy aircraft, things have gone so incredibly wrong that not being able to supply thousands a year is the least concerning part of the situation.

People don't realize how cheap hardware has become. Most vendors also have the ability to lease stuff for 0% (though that might have started to change), so you end up paying for a 3 or 5 year lease, which allows you to deduct vs. dep

Can I just say how disappointing it has been watching 1Password progressively get worse as the years go by? I have been a customer for over a decade and have contemplated moving on. They used to be the app I would point to for awesome desig

This really highlights the importance of only using SMS as a 2fa option. I have investigated things years back where sim-swappers were paying several major wireless carriers employees thousands of dollars to port out phone numbers.

So, what I do is actually work from coffee shop about 1x a week. This gets me used to having a "non-ideal" setup, while also allowing me to interact with people outside my immediate family and close friends. When I work from coffe

Man, how stupid and short sighted are the decisions they have been making at RH. Makes you really cautious for rug-pulls on any of the software they maintain

On one hand it feels like a psyop, trying to get people to react, but on the other hand, the amount of incompetence in the Russian military makes me genuinely wonder if this is a legit coup attempt. It's been like watching a badly writ

If you ever need someone to test your stuff when it makes it into the physical world, would love to help :) I really want to see an open motor control peripheral that could be used in robotics or UAVs, it's amazing how ubiquitous they

Incorrect, for the longest time the US government only knew how to support linux via RHEL, that is rapidly changing. So if you sold software or services to the US government that was running on linux, your only viable choice was RH. That ha

No, it's exactly what I'm describing... courts generate data about you, someone (LN as an example) slurps it up. Buy a house, deed gets recorded, data gets generated and someone slurps it up. Buy a product with a CC. All of the ha

If you are giving data to someone, or having data produced about you, it is a good assumption at this point that someone is trading it, selling it or monetizing it. With no effective data ownership or privacy legislation in the US, it will
