The "Low Tech Magazine" has a guide to building a DIY bike generator https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/03/how-to-build-a-pra... Unfortunately even with the bike it seems like …

9950X is dual channel, running 4 DIMMs runs them interleaved, with two DIMMs sharing one physical connection, impacting signal integrity severely. AFAIK this has gotten worse with …

Strix Halo uses a 256bit memory interface, the normal desktop processors only have a 128bit interface, that's the biggest difference in bandwidth. For more bandwidth you need to go…

Switzerland can't join the EU without a referendum anyway, I don't think that's realistic anyway. The prevailing juristic opinion seems to be that changing away from the franc woul…

Politco makes it sound much bigger than it actually is. Only two things are now secured in the constitution: - The franc is the national currency - The swiss national bank is respo…

Assuming you have the yellowish, metal tracks (M-Track) it should work more or less. Electrically the tracks with the connectors for power might have capacitors for radio interfere…

GP mentioned Märklin H0, so Y-Loops aren't a Problem anyway because both wheels have the same potential, it's a modified 3rail system with a bunch of studs in the middle as a 3rd r…

And that would violate both BMWs Trademark and Patent, which at least in Switzerland could mean having to pay BMW damages and get fined for importing counterfeit goods.

ASP.NET could mean a bunch of programming languages and I'm assuming that a ASP.NET Server doesn't disclose that. It's probably safe to guess mostly C#, but that requires a differe…

Doesn't Brave disable WebBluetooth by default via a flag?

For me it's a bottle opener, a corkscrew and a knife that's good enough. More picnic less camping in the wild.

STM32 MCUs are 3V3, not 5V right? Arduino really isn't great with naming, a Uno can be an AVR or ARM based board, now either 3V3 or 5V based and also a SBC rather than just a MCU.

I'd like to argue that electric Rechauds are superior anyway. Fuel paste or gas always seems to run out just before you're finished, everything cools down while refilling and then …

Probably too small. Also Switzerland is easy to bully, as can be seen by the current US tariff regime.

MAUI is supposed to use native ui components, AvaloniaUI just uses Skia. I think going with a non-native approach would kinda make Linux a clear second class platform, especially w…

.NET LTS is on a 2-year cycle, isn't it? I've worked in .NET shops with very niche WPF/WinForms applications where customers were years behind with our software/major .NET Framewor…

I don't think that's a fair summary of Mozillas Position on the WebBluetooth/WebSerial/WebUSB specs. Interacting with arbitary devices has arbitrary consequences, mozilla seems to …

I've done the same thing for a few reasons. - Certain things need good layouts - I think I can see a DC-DC Converter, you need to minimize certain loop areas, etc. You also need to…

Switching to a even more foreign language is a bit weird - in my experience the concern about English is much greater than about German. I'd expect people would just only speak swi…

But every speaker of swiss german is expected to also speak and write standard german. "swiss standard german over swiss german dialect" is enforced in school, sometimes even durin…

I'm not sure if that's just my narrow view of europe, but most european railways seem to run double decker trains (albeit not on all lines). Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, …

it's nit-picky, but I think the swiss approach of "as fast as necessary, not as fast as possible" is worth separation from "train go fast", especially since it's mostly the later t…

> extremely fast It's generally called "as fast as necessary", more focused on total journey lenght with the clock-face schedule across the whole country. Other countries certainly…

Modern Panzerholz (Kunstharzpressholz, 'synthetic resin densified wood') is manufactured with resin - this new material doesn't seem to rely on resin, but only on the cellulose con…

The complete system only controls the train insofar as it can apply the brakes (and probably cut the steam). What it can do depends on the lineside equipment. On newer routes it re…
