It was really really really slow when I tried it. My ass end mac mini with 1.5x scaling on a 4k display on macOS is noticeably faster than Fedora on a Ryzen 7 3700X with GTX1660 which lags like hell. Not impressed.

Usually adapter protocol bindings related. I have the same problem on my desktop with WSL2. It turns IPv4 off for some reason!

After 25 years of doing this crap, I really think the issue is that no one wants to hear “I told you so” because it undermines the hierarchy of fragile egos hiding all the shit that is on fire. Say it in your head. When you run out of finge

Nailed it. There are so many ideological knowledge and mindset cults out there competing for attention. I could probably come up with one and make millions just from looking for drifters after the first several failed for them.

I actually have scars on my arm from blowing up MOSFETs so I agree :)

Check prices in Europe as well.

The best cheap iron is a Metcal PS900. You can look for Metcal MX units on ebay which tend to go for not much. They can switch from soldering 0402 parts to nuts onto bolts without changing the tips or damaging anything: https://w

The metcal PS900 is actually cheaper now than the equivalent bottom end Weller TCP units and much much cheaper than the Hakko FX951 irons. The TS type irons and the T12's are however 100% not safe devices. The tip mount/socket sho

They're really not. They're quite dangerous. I flirted with the "T12" ecosystem for a bit and the designs are marginal to say the least. From a mechanical design perspective it's not uncommon for the mount to short

Meanwhile on planet Earth, my Metcal production iron doesn’t even have a computer in its brain. The important bit of the iron is not really the brain but the latency of the control loop and the absolute power delivery which is easy enough t

I doubt it. As for your second point, that’s possibly the worst straw man I’ve ever heard.

At least you can step on it :)

If it’s the same analysts who do their telemetry analysis then you’re probably right.

My go to is goodnotes on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Has a desktop app for macos as well. Literally I haven’t touched a physical notepad since. It is always ready, expressive and just works. Plus I can split screen with PCalc to crunch s

Give it time. Much like the average smoker, the regret doesn’t really kick in until you’re well up shit creek without a paddle.

Amazon solved a fairly large problem with retailers here. They were shit and abusive to the customers. It’ll just slip back to the status quo again if we lose amazon dominance I hate to say. I’d rather prefer it if that wasn’t the case for

Bit difficult when they control the press.

I’m in the UK. I can see this is going to mean a huge chunk of products disappearing from amazon here. A lot of stuff I order comes from Europe. So supply chain problems for months here we come! Fun times ahead. And no I didn’t vote for thi

It has unfortunately. It's used in some of Keysight's oscilloscopes. Even the new ones. And it's not even a new version https://ripitapart.com/2018/10/15/gaining-access-to-the-wind... Some of t

Easy. We built something that was worth money without all that. Not a one trick marketoid pony.

Modern web is a completely broken mess. We were serving around that traffic off a single dual pentium 3 in 2002 quite happily off IIS/SQL Server/ASP. The amount of information presented has not grown either. That little box had so

That's your bubble. I've seen other people's and it's not. Instagram is worse I agree.

Yeah you're right but staring at 30 second clips of better lives than your selected by algorithm to bias your mind in some way to perpetuate either the existence of the platform or the product being sold is part of the downward spiral.

52 minutes a day is average engagement. 800M users. 32,000 man years or 400 human lifetimes of attention wasted every day (if I got my mathematics right). We could be colonising mars or something instead of watching short videos of somethin

I'd rather the whole idea fucked off out of existence.

Err some of us actually like Apple as at least they actually pretend to give a shit. Google and Facebook not so much.

Great software companies talk to their users rather than take the data. Sorry but fuck the developers and cost. If your product can't make it to market without telemetry, then you have other problems.
