    What a fascinatingly misguided dismissal of someone actually doing something to back up their words.

    Where do you think AI got its training material? Was it not from those very same "engineers of lore" and their respective "tech crap"?

    It's pretty common from where I sit, tbh.

    It's also one of the most aggravating database systems I've worked with.

    I wasn't saying you were, I was saying you were responding to an LLM.

    You're not a fringe user, a ton of people use old reddit (myself included). They're killing themselves the same way Tumblr did. Oh well.

    Parent comment is an LLM by the way.

    You're conflating "what's illegal" with "what a private entity doesn't want". I don't like it any more than you do, but the first is very clear, the second is a bit harder to "solv…

    Thanks, this was the info I was originally after :)

    Yeesh, please tell me you didn't write all of that yourself. Which uC is it targeting, and which language?

    Why does changing to Rust kill the project? I don't understand the point here.

    Comment #48957102

    I know all of this; assembly of a $400 board usually has a MOQ of 5 off the top of my head, which for a board that is a prototype isn't feasible. I know about how to do reflow. I'm…

    I am aware, yes. After the paste deposition via stencil, doing passives manually takes hours. I'm asking if anyone's done anything interesting with stencils for placing those.

    Comment #48956244

    For those of us without the cash/apartment space for a PNP, has anyone experimented with a stencil system for populating passives? Is that even a thing? My PCB project's population…

    That's a stretch. This isn't a new approach to such obfuscation. Also plagiarism would mean they ripped the source material verbatim or they at least copied the methodology and int…

    Yes of course, the transmitted audio would be mono. I meant one radio in one ear and another radio in the other ear, or if you mix them and they both play in both ears. But it soun…

    This is a completely different phenomenon. Your ear/brain are tuned to rhythmic beats in the lower frequencies (footsteps). We're better at pattern recognition with the lower frequ…

    Perhaps a dumb question but are they center panned (or mono, i.e. talking over each other) or is it split left ear/right ear when they come through the headset?

    Not really. If the services that grant you access to your own hard disk ever go under, you lose it. You do not have access to the files. You're effectively paying for a licence to …

    It shouldn't be the case that this is relied upon. There needs to be a cultural shift in the industry back to physical - or at least, preservable - media.

    You do it then, if it's not rocket science :) or donate to the project, clearly you have a lot of it to spend by making demands of peoples' free time.

    Correct. You're welcome to mirror or host a private one. Cargo makes it _relatively_ easy to do (saying this as somewhat of a cargo hater).
