I assume you have a consumer protection agency. Ping them. Put it in plain words. "I have been paying... they made it impossible to access stuff I paid for and made it impossible to unsubscribe." That's textbook fraud. They&#

It takes 10× as long to sketch in it compared to SolveSpace. At least for me.

Hi! Thanks for your hard work! I just want you to know it's definitely worth it! I am using SolveSpace for my 3D prints because I just don't have time to learn anything else. With SolveSpace I've been productive in like 2 hou

Can we start organizing a strike of tech workers already? Pretty please? Just say the word. Maybe reach out to Signal to implement some kind of one-way channel so you can reach people easily? We need to put actual pressure on those fascists

Sadly, this. There are even networks. I know a person who begs on a specific interval of a subway line, has been for at least a decade, and has been pretty violent towards actual beggars who did not know the rules. Some are genuine. People

Nah, you'll get yelled at if bosses solution you have implemented brings further trouble. Mostly for not fixing it for them.

Hmm, sounds like the spores must have come from the outside. Otherwise he'd be saying his colleague has contaminated the building with improperly stored fungal colonies and he himself let those spores contaminate his lab. So yeah, defi

It's not cheap for streaming. It's harder to compress and is lost in the process. The video codec is a smart low pass filter.

Because, like most of the population in the West, HN readers are not actually liberals but rather centrists, which means they lean roughly equally conservative, liberal and socialist on the political triangle - on average. Sometimes you hav

You would be wrong, then. What is the challenge in scope design is that you need to protect the ADC and often user's life! So the scope has 1Mohm || 15pF input impedance. You need to buffer it. So you first have to attenuate the signal

Hey, you can also arrange 2 GPIO pins in 1st order sigma delta topology with two external resistors, a capacitor and disabled hysteresis. With RP2040 (and an LDO for supply), using two such channels for pseudo differential measurement (the

Yeah. The way we run our countries is idiotic. Zero resilience. First concern after floods is getting back to job, even before all the water is drained and mud cleaned, because working people live paycheck to paycheck and so on. Businesses
