No because that would require some form of energy transfer. To observe the state of the system you have to take energy from it. I suspect your very presence would likely be a big contributor to this not working to start with too. Disclaimer

No BitTorrent clients in the App Store either. So I have to watch everything on openload instead.

I go to sleep at 00:00 and wake up at 07:30 so that makes me rather happy :)

That's why you need multiple layers of protection: seller -> paypal -> card company -> real money

Paypal offers one extra thing over the top, which is the ability to easily get your money back if the seller screws up. I use this a lot with sellers in the UK. If you ask them directly for a refund because they forget something or sent you

Those are likely pretty trivial boards which you place parts yourself. I do that at home with crap equipment. It's not quite as easy if you have to have someone to place parts for you, which is required without significant investment i

I’d like to see that but I think the turnaround and unpredictability of third parties adds a lot of risk to a product development cycle. If you look at lead times for PCBs and population for example it can be a 30 day turnaround minimum for

Ignoring the obvious welfare complaint, which I incidentally agree with, it paints a pretty good picture of all the health and social problems leading up to this situation for a lot of people. It also shows how the health of the previous ge

Indeed. When A is shit and B is shit then the result of your A/B testing is going to be the least shit of the two. At the end of the day it's going to be shit either way. I'm a firm believer that you should never ask your use

Not what I wanted to wake up to this morning. I suspect we’re in for a rough ride for a long time thanks to this mess.

It's the same in the UK with RSGB. Very easy.

Yep you don’t need a lot of watts either. You can get a long way on 5W.

We’re on a solar cycle minima at the moment which slightly ruins ionospheric propagation on HF which is the least “line of sight” set of bands. However it’s on the up again so in a year or so expect 1000km regularly. I regularly hear East E

Have a look at amateur radio and satellite operations as a whole. You can, with some persistence and brains have a chat with someone a vast distance away via satellite repeater with nothing but a cheap handheld radio. I’ve only managed to r

I did this as well for a bit. You get to the point when carrots, tomatoes and potatoes taste incredibly sweet and broccoli, if not murdered, tastes marvellous. I ended up growing a load of things. Then there was a relapse :(

Yes indeed. These were perfectly good ones but the furniture salvage people locally didn’t want them and no one came on gumtree or freecycle :(

Where I live in the UK we just put the clothes in a bag next to the recycling containers and they get taken away. They also take away car batteries, car oil, small appliances, batteries etc In an effort to not have to go to the dump with th

I managed to break my 2013 15” retina MacBook Pro a couple of days ago. It slid off my lap and down my legs and gently hit the floor from about 6 inches up. This managed to critically deform the lid and pop the screen. This in itself is a b

The early ARM machines didn’t really make it out of the U.K. I had some early Acorn/ARM stuff in 1988. It was by far the most advanced bit of kit at the time. Literally smoked everything and did so for a number of years afterwards. Ex

Now that’s what I come here for. I had a Master with 65C102 coprocessor (internal one) and I still claim to this day that it was the finest machine I have ever used. Rather cool what you can achieve with the tube even to this day.

This sounds expensive and unreliable and will just result in very expensive headlight assemblies that have to be replaced entirely. Also inability to get the parts to fix them a decade down the line. This is already a problem with some vehi

Couldn't agree more. Now people will have to start delivering value instead of clicks and content will be worth what it's worth rather than the advertising leverage. This should remove a lot of pointless mind consuming junk as eco
