Fuck Adobe. When Creative Cloud was launched, the CEO promised that he would support existing CS6 customers like myself who had paid a lot of money for the master collection. And then, few years later, they announced they wouldn't supp

Wow, that resonates quite a lot with me, though I'm not 55 yet. I started my career as a software engineer with web development in the 90's. Everything seemed simpler. Literally. Then, fast forward to 2020. I'll cite you an e

This is one of the reasons why all the amplifiers I build for my personal use, be it power audio amps or headphone amps, don't use any fancy audio switch ICs. I prefer analog exactly for this reason. A simple relay with a push button.

This isn't necessarily true in all cases - I can cite you an opposite example. Pre-covid, I was in Singapore. You pay $10 SGD for 1GB of data ONLY (no calls included). The top network operator in Singapore is state-backed Singtel. Thei
