Not sure what do you mean? If that is a concern, there are solutions for this. Like UPSes and backup cellular connections.

Well said. The rush is when one understands the loosely coupled control loops and how they work together... until something fails in the middle with no error.

To add insult to the injury, the charging port of Nintendo DS Lite was almost mini-USB, but not quite - with enough force and some metal bending it was apparently possible to make it work with regular mini-USB cable. Absolutely idiotic desi

I'm curious, what amp is this? Is it for charging something? The end is TRRS, is there a DAC/ADC molded in the plug for audio interface purposes?

These PD testers are cool (I thought about buying one), but honestly, for the price of a tester, one can buy 2, maybe even 3 good quality cables and just throw away the rest.

The phrase "drink beer" could mean anything from 2 beers on a sunny weekend to 6-pack every night. They are not comparable.

I did that, but after a few months there was a discernible difference between 2 identical keyboards due to wear (the one at work was being used much more than the home one). This annoyed me to no end and I sold one of them.

Fight fire with fire. It's over the top passive aggresive, but it works. Whenever I get a JIRA ticket that was clearly AI generated and is 10x too many words, I tell Claude to respond to that ticket with my actual real opinion or sugge

AFAIK that's US thing. In normal countries bank account numbers are not a secret. The worst thing that can happen is someone sending you money.

To add perspective, an old-school 7805 voltage regulator dissipating just 1 watt is already impossibly hot to hold with bare hand (as me how I know). So 3-4 watts on a small module will make it noticeably hot.

I don't. Other teams - maybe they do, maybe they don't. Who cares, not me. I have responsibility for services of my team, I think we are doing a good job. Being selfish is the core principle of microservice architecture.
