They actually broke it so that didn't work for a bit. That's enough to cause a major issue in some organisations with strict security policies. Opt in telemetry is fine. Opt out definitely not. This is a major inversion of policy.

I would walk away from .Net Core as well. Microsoft have proven themselves on several occasions that they don't give a crap about the end user. The whole default opt-in telemetry nightmare of .Net core is an example. The final result o

What's the point when the world is legislating our privacy away? It's a pointless self-defeating marketing ploy then and nothing more.

There's a fatal flaw to this approach though. The world is regressing into surveillance because quite frankly the mechanisms are already there and it's easy. What happens if someone in the US or the UK start using the justificatio

The privacy stance is just marketing. They have handed over iCloud keys and data to the state in China already. If they cared about privacy over market dominance that wouldn’t have happened. Unfortunately as an iOS user tied to the ecosyste

Good question. I’m not sure I care if I’m honest. It tastes pretty good and keeps me alive :)

The via yes. That's attached to the pad on the other side which is what I'm referring to. The first "oh shit" moment is when you see the pad attached to the leg of the part.

Until you pull a pad through on a $20k multilayer board. Been there. Give me straight, well designed and BGA-less SMD any day. Also Metcal user here.

If you call CQ at that speed you’ll get someone answer at that speed. Just go for it. First one I did I actually had a couple of drinks first :) I’ve been meaning to try one of the ISS SSTV events on 2m but haven’t got around to it yet. Loo

by m0xte 7y ago
I think a lot of the decline in calling CQ is that SSB is murdering itself. This is happening due to the poor propagation and general disinterest in trying to blast through people with huge PA's and beams as a novice/foundation us

They did this with office 2019 activation as well. I’m actually done now with them.

We have CRA 2015 here in UK. 6 years on everything. Apple ask me what I want to claim under when I take my stuff in there. I only need AppleCare for when I break something :)

I have to agree. Total cult.

I understand the solution to this is to buy a car with a really small engine and park it next to cars with really big engines or hybrids. They have much more valuable catalytic converters so are likely to get nicked before yours is. Also if

Yeah same. I just bought a new display for my 20 year old 34401A! That’s service. Enterprise. Not so good. Arguing with Broadcom NICs and blade chassis switch problems for a decade and a half makes me happy about AWS.

HP went down the shitter as far as I was concerned when “the HP way” went. This happened when they spun off Agilent which took it with them. I have actually physically assaulted several HP products since then. Literally nothing but aggro.

It looks like it works but it's not reliable so your reliability concerns then get externalised into your application which multiplies complexity terribly.

Uploading to S3 is easy until it isn't. It works pretty nicely for one-offs but when you have to blast a few hundred gigs into it or large files from a bit of software you wrote it's a royal pain in the butt. The phrase "mult

For me that isn't the problem. It's mapping the several-thousand acronym riddled hairballs into reality. The reality matches no other reality which means the knowledge is probably useless in 20 years time, much as the knowledge I

I think at the age of 7/8 your metric of success is tied strongly to how you control your body, probably due to all the reinforcement of this from years before. At 12 things were likely easier for me. They use that ridiculous methodolo

That’s likely. School IT is fraught with cash back handers and lies at least here in the UK.
