am well aware that leaded solder still has some niche applications, but the comment i replied to called lead-free a "clusterfuck" without any regard for the huge public health benefits. i hope you agree it's good that e-waste

You've mis-interpreted why I commented. aerospace is a small part of what soldering is used for, globally. the majority is consumer electronics. keeping lead out of people's homes is a valuable public-health move, not a needless

I built a few identical fidget-spinner toy kits using either leaded and lead-free solder to decide which type I should keep buying from then on, the leaded stuff was admittedly a tiny bit easier to work with and usually left a slightly

The electronics to drive the right frequency for efficiently heating ferrous metals (about 25KHz) are affordable. The electronics to drive the much higher (at least double?) frequencies for non-ferrous metals safely are not so affordable.

A myth. Copper and aluminium won't heat on a consumer-grade kitchen induction stove, which only have a set of coils designed for ferrous metals, but restaurant kitchen professional IH stoves can use the different frequencies that heat

Good project, but I've always hated the word "blogroll". It's a pun on "bog roll", like toilet paper, isn't it?

There are tons of alternative single-board-computers available. The Orange Pi 5 is great for MUCH higher end performance but still under (usd)$100, and there are other options (Orange Pi 3? Banana Pi? Radxa RockPi?) that still match or beat

By VPU, I meant the square on the board that eats h.265 hw_enc and hw_dec and things like that, yes. I've been told it's a separate square from the GPU, by someone who is full-time waist-deep on getting Arch running on that hardwa

Yeah it's the first under $100 system I've tried, (and I'm a fan of the genre) that's truly a desktop replacement in terms of being a snappy responsive desktop even with lots of browser tabs, etc. I do know they have the

The RK3588 seems like a beast for performance per dollar, I have one running desktop Linux for emulators and games, but I haven't used the NPU yet, because I haven't taken the time to figure out how to get OpenCV to talk to it. Is

Interesting. Could you give a bit more of a concrete, specific example of "good pathfinding hurting the experience"? It's an odd sounding idea, to me. Also, you seem to be deep in this world, I'll also ask you - are ther

Hmm. I read the licence.md. Does this mean if I fork the game to try my own patches, I'm forbidden from using the game's artwork in my forked version? If so, that is a serious impediment, tbf.

Get a Pi sbc of some sort, install an OS you trust, run Kodi on it, and only ever use the TV to display that. Streaming services, YouTube etc, are available as Kodi addons. Though it's a bit of a hassle to do l the first log in to you

It would be useful if headlines said "~$10", "sub $100", "sub $1000" et cetera, instead of vague terms like "low-cost".

What volume of trade is that high "official" ruble value based on? The retail/p2p volume outside of state-run banks seems to be higher now, and at a significantly lower ruble value. & welcome to hn, first commenter!
