@eevblog There’s a great looking Felixe there.

Even when you tell Midjourney specifically what a Fluke 87 looks like:

Midjourney nails humans but sucks at multimeters

@eevblog “Anti-homeless”…. Sheesh.

So, work with me here. This seems to be a thing. 13M-30M views, that's $20k in ad revenue to be conservative at $1 CPM, maybe over $50k. That EASILY pays for a 1st class ticket to New York + the poshest hotel for me to shoot a few minutes of video. What's wrong with my plan?

@eevblog Thoroughly agree. I’ve converted from corporate IT to tradie. The number of bozos you run into, who are just basically a monkey with a hammer…

Pro Tip: If you are an engineer and go to someone in any technical field (doctor, tradie, supplier etc ), tell them you are an engineer, ask smart technical questions & that you want the technical explanation. If their faces don't light up then that's someone who's likely incompetent and is best avoided.

@KeanM Yes. They don’t.

@MickMakes FYI, Sungrow don't have a great history with handling exploit notifications... solarquotes.com.au/blog/sungrow-i…

So it’s now been 2 years since I discovered an exploit in Sungrow inverters and notified all concerned. I reckon they’ve been given enough time to fix, so I’m about to go public with my findings. Note: do NOT store any personal info in your app. It can be found!

This includes, email, street address, gps location, etc, etc.

So sadly, I’ve been bitten by the cosplay bug. I have a really bad infection, wonder if it’ll pass. Already planning what I’ll do next year, which will take about that long to pull off - animatronics and large motors. Sigh. Always plan big.

@Aldacvalda Now that raises a lot of questions.

@MickMakes prison

Guess where I am?

@eevblog Yes

I just switched my EEVblog store from WooCommerce over to Shopify. Should I go get the pain medication now?

@troyhunt That’s so funny.

You idiot troyhunt.com/beg-bounties/

Brissie Supanova… nothing like it in the southern hemisphere.

@matt_trentini Of course, not in Sydney. :-)

@MickMakes I’m scared to guess which though! 😜

@matt_trentini Booth 250. Midnight Ritual.

@matt_trentini I’m helping out at my son in laws booth in artists alley

All I can see is % sudo crem

@cqcqcqdx When you want to tin the tip but then you burn it on the plastic spool on the other side.

@dchote That has been a long time coming. About 3 years? Some pretty stellar work there.

It’s been a long time coming… but the downstairs kitchen now has a ceiling!!! Just some trim work left before we move in!!

@ITMayWorkDev @eevblog @pkm_inc It actually works really well. It’s like the teacher marking off the roll in class. They just want to see X number of students in the class. If there’s extra; who cares? You just care about X students.

@eevblog @pkm_inc We have our IDs chrcked on every election. How come? You live a couple of suburbs away and don't need your ID checked??

Australia had a national referendum vote today. For the Yanks that seem perplexed that an election/voting system can work and isn't designed to practically guarantee that fraud happens, here's how we do it: 1) It's compulsory for everyone to vote. So there is no social cop-out of "don't blame me, I don't vote" 2) ALL votes are on paper, no electronic voting. First pass results are tabulated by hand at the polling places, and unless it's very close, we usually have a result the same night. There are thresholds that trigger an automatic manual re-count in each district. 3) No ID required. Your name is marked off a local electoral roll which is then electronically checked for duplicates. If your name isn't marked off, you automatically get a fine in the mail. 4) Election day is always on a Saturday, and usually includes a barbie. 5) You have to apply for a postal vote, and they cross check your address along with other security measures. So with the compulsary nature of the election means you can't just get a zillion magical postal votes. 6) There is no such thing here as being "registered" for a political party. And generally we aren't nearly as religious when it comes to party loyalty. All this guarantees a fraud rate so low it can be rounded down to zero.

@eevblog @AllanAust I saw some historic data on referendums; only a handful have been implemented out of about 40. Statistically, it was doomed anyway.

@AllanAust Current early vote numbers are pointing toward that being unlikely.

So, come Sunday, the majority of Australians will be branded racist for not wanting racism to be written into our constitution. And it will have only cost us $450M to do so. Good to see our tax dollars well spent. #Referendum2023
