@eevblog Is it to stop the over 50s buying discarded tech you found in the dumpster room?

Since when did Facebook Marketplace start asking for ID to sell stuff? I had a some existing ads and suddenly it says I have to ID myself.

@G3PIA Ron is a little weak 3 by 5 or so and can't hear me. I will up my power. Your fault if it catches fire :)

@TheRealMike Thank you Mike!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! The next HARS net starts this Friday evening (24/07/26) at 20:30 UTC on Top Band 1.846 MHz, then at approx. 21:00 UTC we QSY to 80m 3.710 MHz. Note frequencies vary +/- QRM. Call in or tweet signal reports! @g3pia#hamradio 📻🎙️📡🔊🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌏🌍🌎 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

@G3PIA M0ORF 59+, G0ORD, 59, F4VRB 47....(he's better on 70cm). Lots of fading. Should get better as it gets dark.

@TheRealMike Thanks, Mike, got him! 73

@G3PIA F4VRB called in but you didn't hear him

@G3PIA I know I can hear you both. Will be on 80m but not likely to hear you there either.

Finally retuned the 440-450MHz DCI filter to 430-440MHz. Not an easy job as they are not adjustable. Not quite as good as the original, probably needs more tuning but good enough

@TrisH0x2A Apart from the signed/unsigned bug, why subtract one in the first place? Why not just >= 1?

Miranda IM and dozens of other open source projects had this exact bug PVS Studio found it in more than 100+ real codebases what is the output when s = "" (empty string)?

@MetOfficeSpace Thanks - but what is the actual storm prediction? You linked to an impacts table based on storm level, but not to what the level is expected to be.

I designed a case for the PTT multiplier board from 2024 in FreeCAD. Now I am waiting for it to finish printing.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Yes, though I didn't discover it until the late 1990s

This is a 10/10 album. Agree or disagree???

@uhf_satcom Not entirely dumb. I used these at uni.

Dumb terminal; a 1980 model.

De retour en France, et j'espère que ce ne sera pas la dernière fois pour une réunion de l'ESA. Content d'être de retour.

@Microsoft @MSFTnews What the heck makes your programming team the idea that it is OK to force a Windows 11 reboot for an update in the middle of the day when I was working? No warning nothing.

@SVG__Collection I quite often buy CDs. Most recent was Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation. OK a little retro I admit.

When was the last time you bought physical music?

@TracySimek @SVG__Collection I have it too.

@SVG__Collection Thursday, picked up an LP of Staring at the Sea by the Cure.

@MehdiHacks Except they are not the best, not by a very long way, especially when you consider what the professionals have access to.

Did you know that 3 of the best HF SDR receivers in the world (Perseus, Elad FDM series, and TitanSDR) are all developed by Italian companies? Italy is home to great ham radio products too (like the Mazzoni Midi loop antennas, Begali keys, SPE amplifiers etc) Wonder why!

@mm9sql @AB8TN Tonka or HGV? Hope you feel better soon.

@AB8TN Like I've been hit by a truck

Discovery drive has outpriced itself against the G-5500 🤦‍♂️ #products" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">crowdsupply.com/krakenrf/disco…

@mm9sql Yes, I saw that. No interest at all at that ridiculous price.
