now I've got the plumbing in place for pulling Murata SimSurfing data I kinda want to plot the area under the DC bias C/V curve against the nominal charge (rated C * rated V).
wife: "what're you working on?"
me: "can't tell you."
wife: "huh? why?"
me: "because if I tell you then I won't be able to do the thing."
wife: "why?"
me: "because my brain is stupid"
my phone: "we found 42 apps you don't use very often, would you like to uninstall them?"
included in the list of apps: my primary browser, my primary mastodon client, my primary music streaming app, my primary grocery shopping app, my banking app, my file/network explorer app, my SSH client app, Plex, whatsapp, telegram, keepass, steam authenticator, and the call recording app that runs 24/7.
I used all of these in the past 3 days.
out of the 42 listed, I uninstalled two.
not super a fan of the whole "notifications now include the entire thumbnail" thing since the 4.2.0 update. takes up a lot of space and isn't really useful.
it's also kinda laggy, presumably because it's adding 20 DOM elements (incl. a large image) for every YouTube title card.
@7f73a7d1 the upper MOSFETs would be driven by a CMOS gate so the resistor probably wouldn't do anything (it's low impedance 0V or 5V, never high-Z).
-5V Vgs on the upper MOSFETs is the bit I missed. I'm now trying to work out if that's actually a problem in practice. they switch on and off in the order of 120Hz at most, and are only handling tens of mA each. the Vgs range is spec'd for ±12V so seems ok?
assembling a band so I can write a cover of "Wake Me Up When September Ends" except it's a demoscene parody called Wake Me Up When The Scroller Ends, inspired by oldschool demos where the scroller is an entire fucking newsletter about what the group has been up to during the 12 years since their last prod.
not enough light at your workbench? why not try a 600W stadium-grade LED floodlight? you will surely not regret 600W of stadium-grade LED floodlighting at your workbench.
heading this off at the pass: no, JLCPCB's ToS do not grant them the right to reuse or sell your PCB designs. read the full text to understand the context and purposes applicable to the rights you're granting them, not just one isolated sentence, and think about the functionality of the site (e.g. generating gerber previews from your uploads, storing uploads in your account's file manager page, publishing customer reviews, etc.) and what rights must be granted to support that.

@9fd7b7b6 Unity, Autodesk, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. replacing products that used to be a one-time purchase and turning them into subscription services that lock you in and then constantly crank the fees up.
@7f73a7d1@24a394fa@0c1a9324@639ed14f@c39d2605 for sure; I wasn't criticising your handling of the hackspace thing, and we've had similar issues at our local one. I think a healthier way to frame it is that some people aren't at a place in life where they're able to have a healthy relationship with certain communities, and that isn't the fault of those communities. we can have patience and be welcoming and understanding, but that relationship has to be a two-way street.
@7f73a7d1@24a394fa@0c1a9324@639ed14f@c39d2605 mental health also isn't an excuse for persistently being an asshole, especially after being repeatedly told that a specific behaviour is unacceptable. assuming that someone can't learn to be better "because mental health" is infantilising (and kinda ableist, too).
@0c1a9324@639ed14f@c39d2605 yup. carbon offset credits don't fix climate change and code offset credits don't make up for being an absolute assballoon in every possible situation.
@0c1a9324@639ed14f@c39d2605 he has also written super gross things about children and age of consent. I was gonna list more but you could fill a book with all the ways he is morally objectionable and deeply unpleasant to be around.
