you flux the fluxing flux out of it

not if you want to make it back to your car at the end of the day ;-)

i know this is for the lols, but you’d be surprised how often stuff like this happens… bodge wires and dead bugging it are much cheaper than re-spinning a board/IC. anything to get the boss off your back, just make sure to give your technicians a case of beer/beverage of choice for the extra effort fixing your fuck up.

it satisfies the borrow checker or else it gets the hose again

100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors… not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.

Haven’t looked up the station’s license to see how much power they could have been pushing, but if I were the “authorities”, I’d definely be checking local hospitals for records of anyone coming in with mild to severe [RF] burns. With [low frequency] AM stations, the tower itself is basically the other half of the antenna electrically… probably lit them up like a Christmas tree.

i can sort of understand at&t being at&t as they continue to piss hundreds of millions away on subpar investments while continuing to bitch about being poor and needing government handouts to make the boo-boos hurt less, but what does google have to gain from this? and i could have swore that at some point it was mentioned starlink is/was going to use google data centers as PoPs for their ground stations, but maybe i’m miss remembering…

prozac

though i’ll be honest, the several months of dialing-in the initial dosage were an absolute hell, but once it starts working… like hot damn, a whole new person. i can’t function without it, but everyone reacts differently to SSRIs… so YMMV and it’s definitely something to consult a physician about if you’re serious.

turn your key, sir!

it wouldn’t hurt. i wish my work would just give me a VM to remote into instead of dealing with it on my network, at least in my case all the EDA tools I use are ran on Linux anyway… my last employer put so much spyware “security” software on their work issued laptops that Suricata on my router/firewall would light up like a Christmas tree. no idea what it was trying to do without breaking out Wireshark and analyzing captures, but that’s when i said enough is enough… can’t be trusted.

amen, i love EndeavorOS. i’ve jettisoned all Windows support in my house and anything that needs Windows gets put into an isolated VLAN that can’t talk to anything else. and for the archaic business crap that only has a Windows release, CrossOver is a godsend. same CodeWeavers devs that made Proton and is essentially Wine Premium.

6.6.5 has been a massive pain in the ass with the MTK wifi in my asus g14. very happy this got released quickly, no more deadlocks!

The Fly… fuck.

and they better watch out, there’s a live stick of dynamite next to that ekg machine. time’s a ticking, hurry up and buy!

Dave Plummer has a very interesting take on this since he was the dev manager for Windows CD Autorun at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI

omg me too… a much nerdier friend of mine told me to install Gentoo on my first custom build back in the early aughts. printed out the guide and spent over a week 24/7 compiling everything with an athlon 64 3500+… and had never used Linux before this… good times, man.

it probably wouldn’t be too hard to diplex it with one of the low band antennas, wouldn’t be great reception but it’d give you something for FM stations that are close enough. a relatively big ass coupling inductor and small series cap before the antenna tuner shouldn’t do too much insertion loss damage, these cellular front ends are lossy AF already… and the lowest low band freq is like 6x higher from the FM band, so isolation should be ok… dunno, obviously adds more cost than what it’s worth to the bean counters in charge i’m sure.

from what i recall almost every QCOM chipset has the circuitry baked in, it’s just disabled. https://www.wired.com/2016/07/phones-fm-chips-radio-smartphone/

and don’t forget those extra air handler things like if you have a HRV. i swear the previous owners of mine never cleaned it and the OEM filters basically disintegrated when i did it the first time after moving in. luckily all i had to do to replace them was cutting down to size those cheap-o washable filters from the hardware store, good enough to keep the large chunks out.

not relevant to every household, but regularly clean/rinse the effluent filter on your septic system (i do mine at least 2x a year)… and realize you may have more than one. it ain’t a pretty job, but you’re going to save yourself from a massive repair bill and/or damage from a backup by spending the 15 minutes to git er done.
