Installing toolchains on Windows is a huge pain, and installing the a consistent version of toolchains across platforms is also hard. Platformio is a package manager for embedded systems

I hope I'm not coming across as negative! Y'all are just have a much younger product, and have not had time to do all the polish and tiny tweaks. I'm also much more familiar with Datadog, and sometimes a learning curve feels

I think the colored wax buckets were sitting in a tray full of warm water. Maybe even with the small warming burners underneath like how catering folks do it.

Wokwi is a completely different tool. You would never be able to use it for radio frequency simulation, or much outside of "virtual breadboard" (although I've tried!) Its strengths are around simulating microcontrollers.

Low volume, and everyone who isn't a big company just buys clones. If you are a company or care about reliability, you have to get the OEM version but hopeful you amortize it over thousands of crimps.

None of Espressif's products are able to compete with the nrf52 on low-power & battery-powered applications. Wifi in particularly is a huge power hog and isn't really usable in low-power situations.

You can buy a small fraction of a chicken farm, so that when chicken prices go up, so does the value of the chicken farm. Then you simply sell a tiny fraction of your chicken farm, and use that money to buy a chicken. That way you can prese

I haven't used EasyEDA, but I've seen many schematics built in EasyEDA and I'm not impressed. Rather than having a carefully hand-built symbols library, EasyEDA seems to have just autogenerated symbols, where the pins are all

That's not vaping nicotine. These kids are vaping THC adulterated with vitamin E[1]. Vitamin E is added because it makes a cut product thicker, and thickness is thought of as an indicator of quality. My guess here is that marijuana sti

spicyjpeg basically described the sort of thing I was thinking of, but even for more boring things like opamps or transistors, it's a big hassle to track down or design a simulation model. There's a semi-standardized file format f

Very cool! For now, I'm using the PY32F002A for my low-cost MCU needs, but if this project was around a few months ago, I would have had to think harder about it. I like that you've included a GDB server directly in the project, I

I don't see that being a problem--they sold junk, and rightfully their profits will decrease because that junk was returned. They wouldn't have this problem if they sold quality products.

Library curation is a massive amount of work. Pretty much the reason I end up using falstad instead of a SPICE is because I end up spending all day tracking down and debugging issues with simulation models.

I believe they're referring specifically to the Economic Impact Payments, since those had zero controls from most peoples' perspective. Money just showed up in your bank account.

No, definitely not. You can either use the SSD's built-in firmware encryption, which is always on anyways (to allow for fast erase), or you can configure your system to send TRIM commands.
