I think of it more like leaving a planet because the galactic empire just bought it and is about to hollow it out to build starkiller 2.

Good. There's nothing more annoying on Android than the Google app presence on it perhaps ironically and having this pushed at you all the time really puts you off.

3600 times a second is reasonable if you want to calculate true RMS values at 50/60Hz. This is almost required as well as most inverter and supply waveforms are far from sinusoids.

Ultrascope is crap. I’m using lxi-tools and Ethernet to capture screenshots. It’s a command line tool. I run it in WSL on windows 10. https://github.com/lxi-tools/lxi-tools Or USB stick. But that requires carting the s

Definitely. 1054Z is a bargain for what it is. I’ve got a DG1022Z gen as well and you can use the two together to do protocol injection. Record with the DS1054Z and dump into DG1022Z arb memory then use the DS1054Z pattern trigger to trigge

Just because it's free doesn't remove our right to complain about it. Complaining isn't the best outcome however. Learning how to use git in a distributed environment probably is the right option.

Power supplies are usually plated or coated recycled "chinesium" steel. This is because it's incredibly cheap and has a half decent EMC outcome for the price. One little nick in the coating or plating and that's it thoug

I had an internal NT box up from 1998 to 2001 at the time. It was incredibly reliable.

So true with the latency. I set up an NT4 VM with word 97 a while back just for a nostalgia trip. Holy shit that is fast. How did they make windows 10 such a chunk of gammon in comparison. Literally no productivity difference has been gaine

I’m personally worried that they might do it unintentionally. They seem to be very good at mismanaging and fucking up all their mainstream products.

You know I really miss the classic Windows UI. It was easy to work out what to click and what doesn’t do anything.

Fantastic book. Much cringing and shaking head slowly in shame in that one.

Thanks for commenting. I have disabled windows defender on the machine and tweaked the filesystem with fsutil and it is still running at over 40 seconds on the same workload.

It stopped me visiting the site. Which is good becase that saved me a chunk of my life on Engadget who clearly have no respect for the readers.

Is this a recent change with 1803? I was attempting to use AVR-gcc toolchain and some SCPI over serial stuff with WSL unsuccessfully.

That's another way of saying the same thing. Taxing bad behaviour pays for their healthcare then.

Grep 150,000 source files on Linux and on WSL and come back to me. That's a pretty standard console load. It kills git operations, package managers, compilers, the lot. ALL the tools I use it for. Well USED it for. Real data: linux -&g

I don't buy the usability argument of WSL. The thing isn't anywhere near a useful Linux environment other than for some noddy stuff that cygwin can already handle. Try running a background process, a service, use a serial port or

Just the heritage and reputation of the NSA in such matters should be enough to avoid using NSA ciphers. You don’t go back to a restaurant if you see someone spitting on your food.

If they want that’s fine but it’s damaging behaviour for society so it will be taxed and/or regulated.

It’s a metaphor. You’re already teetering. All it takes is a little push and you’re hurtling to your demise.
