I can tell you having been responsible for the aspects of a TINY scale in comparison button, about 30,000 units a year, that buttons are fucking hard man! It's so much harder to make a button than an entire PCB. You wouldn't think

There is no doubt AI won't be used to fix the fully voiced issue. That is such a no-brainer. As to graphics, my favorite games of the past 5 years were average graphics at best. (Subnautica, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Hades... Red Dea

There is almost no difference in r/politics and the other "formerly default" (but still default by means of network effects) subs. It's all the same lunatic that has no idea they're on the other side of the horsesho

What? You don't like getting strongly opinionated advice from kids that haven't even gotten their first internship yet? I swear some of the things I've been downvoted for in r/embedded is just out of control nuts.

That list of murdered trans people is awful. I wonder why only two I could find were trans men, and almost all were in large cities? Is it that much safer to be a trans man than a trans woman? It’s a shame there isn’t any details at all aro

I don’t know much about myocarditis, but isn’t it possible and even likely a large number of those cases would be undiagnosed?

I’m a little out of loop, but isn’t it true that there can be no possible studies for long covid more than a year and half or so? Of course there is long Covid, and of course there is the possibility of long Covid vaccine regardless of how

As I understand it, Israel does count previous infection similar to vaccinated status. Not an argument, just a data point.

Is that a thing that happens to you? That sucks. Aside: Was the entry on your blog about being hugged by a significant other while in line at a hard store a fan fiction? Seems like you have to be on guard all the time as a woman in 2021, ag
