Yeah I bought a Magic Mouse 2 earlier this year and regretted it instantly. Apple need to stop thinking outside of the box when it comes to mice. You’re right about the positioning…

Yes. Similar experiences. Basically the position I ended up in was mandatorily selling out to Oracle with no other choice on the table. The key purchasing decision was whether Sun …

This is the thinly veiled next round of Trump vs Bezos by the sounds. Hint: There are no winners.

That’s about it for commercial stuff. The trick is really managing it pre-compliance which amounts to renting a signal analyser / SA / measurement receiver and going at it with a n…

I have, in defence sector.

Correct. Although it’s possible on older handsets with 3.5 jack that the audio amplifier in the handset itself is possible to receive. I’m not sure about lightning. But I very much…

It’s physics. There is EMC testing done on these devices. There is little opinion involved in such matters.

I doubt it. That probably wouldn’t pass the EMC testing. Exaggerating I suspect to back up the claim. Really why is this a surprise when you can hear the phone blips and buzzes fro…

I am disregarding the whole thing. The author knows nothing of EMC. This is expected at close quarters.

I suspect that’s unlikely from my own experiences on this stuff. Perhaps 20-40cm is more likely.

This is not surprising. We’ve been using AM and FM radios to debug circuits for decades. They can pick up oscillations and instabilities. But the range is centimetres at best. So m…

>10Gb - Stick it on a bitlocker encrypted USB stick and chuck it in the post. Next day download if you send it 1st class here. <10Gb - chuck it on S3 and send a link to the other p…

I just get poked on slack. Question answered. Life carries on. The advantage there is I can choose when to respond which is never the case in shoulder tapping office environments a…

Yeah which is why I do neither.

Completely agree. Perhaps we should get on air and outnumber them :)

You want to hear some of the crap I hear on 2m in London UK. I dumped my HT in the end so I don’t get annoyed. CW and FT8 are generally best if you don’t want to deal with that sor…

That’ll be also because the local club usual incompetence can’t get in the way with social distancing. I had so much trouble even going back a few years getting my license because …

More than that. General direction was negative. They’re removing kernel extensions (bye bye corp vpn), terrible historical direction on browser extensions, bugs galore, crazy expen…

95% probably isn’t good enough. 1blocker is fairly awful I find and rather expensive because you’re a captive audience that doesn’t have access to working uBlock. This situation is…

Which incidentally sucks terribly. Ad blocking on iOS and macOS is a complete turd.

Energy isn’t going to get cheaper and neither is the environmental impact of consuming lots of it.

My conclusion is that my home lab was a learning exercise that comes to an end and that having physical hardware was actually detrimental to it. I still have a home lab. It's just …

So much this. I think my energy bill for my single PC as mentioned elsewhere in this thread works out about $70 (equiv) a year. When I had the full whack server rack it was pulling…

Not OP here but it takes me about an hour to rebuild my machine from scratch.

I had a fairly large home lab once. I had a fully topped out SPARCserver 1000E and a disk enclosure in my bedroom. I also once lived with an E450 on the kitchen table for a month. …
