is it me, or do things just generally... not really work anymore?
it would be amusing if not for the fact that QOS once seemed to be a valued metric.

I was wondering, in what tactical scenario would a submarine rather use a sub launched anti ship missile compared to a heavyweight torpedo considering there is no defense against the latter, that is much more deadly and that the range is usually comparable ?
English
@tomfleet Nope. They're the perfect storm of tiny diameter and really tight against the housing body so you can't get your fingers around them, and no slots on the end. Basically, needle-nosed pliers are the only way.

Good morning and a heartfelt fuck-you-without-lube to whoever designed the thumb screws on this D-sub.

@jithinbp_ @NotBlackMagic1 Those motors can be had for something like $3 qty 4pcs, and with matched capacity ESC for similar prices, it seems odd to pay extra for assembly, and the larger shipping needed for that!
English
@tomfleet @NotBlackMagic1 Or dismantle a 20$ drone for 4 of these, bldc driver boards, and a whole lot of other useful parts!

Another part of the #PlumaN6 project: I'm looking to design a small DIY gimbal. First version was designed around a cheap 1105 BLDC motor but then I found some better gimbal motors also in 1105 size (smallest I can find)!

@samuel_hayden_ Aw. I've got one of these on a bad motherboard (I hope it's a bad mobo... Might have been the ram).
Times are tight for testing out the parts to find out where it keeps falling over.

Buying parts as a result of FPGA horizons workshop…

@Peter_J_Beck Think I might have found my new white noise soundtrack for sleeping to.

I sampled *so many* of those things when I was starting out.

What the first datasheet that comes to mind when you see this logo?

@MaskTheMovie I have hundreds of auto receipts from a Canadian Tom Fleet, along with some emails from his lawyer, and more of his shopping history than I would like to know about.

sometimes life is boring but at least i can live vicariously through the guy in new mexico who shops at harbor freight and thinks my email address is his email address

Nor should you aim it at the light sensor housing above the LED streetlights.

⚠️ Definitely DO NOT point a 1000nm wavelength green laser at Flock cameras. It totally won't damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective. So please don't consider it, okay?

So... @SamacSys /@ULParts for 90% of things, with the remaining 10% or so usually having something pretty good in a GitHub repo or - god forbid - actually just doing a footprint once in a while.
I quite like it actually, but then I do also see the translation as a lil' puzzle.

to all the people trying to make AI PCB auto-routers and vibecode schematic tools, it is mostly a fool's errand. you should really just make an AI librarian (instant IPC foot print, symbol, part data, 3d model). i think it's attainable given the current state of AI, and actually valuable to real EE product designers. whoever solves this will retire their family.

My android iPod amoled project hit a major milestone! We can repurpose one of the best selling smart phones of all times (Galaxy S4) and connect it to a different display now!
The only thing “iPod” about this right now is the front plate but I’ll have a prototype in shell soon.

@tomfleet Nahh it was already replaced with newer ones, it was already useless due to corruption.

I opened my hostel's router, and I think I can put a custom os in it.
I saw it on YouTube

Coasters.
From Momentum Studio in Kempten, Germany.
Blasted & anodized aluminum with wool felt.
Stainless Torx screws.
What do you think they go for?
Let's do Price Is Right rules -- whoever gets closest to actual selling amount without going over (and without cheating) wins.
