A volvo white block is a real bitch to fix when this happens. It is what causes the death of most white blocks. Sure you can change the timing belt but you need special tools. Like a 3/4 inch square drive to release the accessory be

Mouser is selling TI NE555DR for $0.07 in quantity, so I am sure that TI's actual sale price is lower. So, I think someone paying $0.07 on aliexpress is paying "full price" for something less, even if they rationalize they ar

I am sure they are getting blamed for customer premises wiring faults too. I wish people didn't have to deal with their terrible CSR's. I think they are more inclined to sell HBO rather than communicate a useful fault report to t

This work certainly has value but it is frustrating to keep up with everything being changed. And if changes affect me do the fashions and attitudes of those making the changes have synchronicity with the way that I use computers? In the o

I don't know when the circus died, but I think it is more than the elephants missing. I took my kid to see the Circus Extreme show this year, since it's their last tour. That's not the circus, and my parents and grandparent

Something to show for effort. This matters a bit. One of my young-adulthood colleagues went on to be an early googler who is influential in relevant policies. We built our relationship sharing bugs and analysis techniques. Quite a few ye

None of those 1970s cars broke because the factory used plastic parts in the engine. When you have experience with that and then find "Oh the plastic theromstat housing cracked" on your "modern" car, that appears to be

It sounds like someone knowingly fabricated false information. If so that person should be civilly and criminally liable because that act caused obvious harm.
