The "Low Tech Magazine" has a guide to building a DIY bike generator https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/03/how-to-build-a-pra... Unfortunately even with the bike it seems like you really need to find

9950X is dual channel, running 4 DIMMs runs them interleaved, with two DIMMs sharing one physical connection, impacting signal integrity severely. AFAIK this has gotten worse with DDR5 to the point that it's generally recommended to av

Strix Halo uses a 256bit memory interface, the normal desktop processors only have a 128bit interface, that's the biggest difference in bandwidth. For more bandwidth you need to go to a Threadripper. Strix Halo seems to use LPDDR with

Switzerland can't join the EU without a referendum anyway, I don't think that's realistic anyway. The prevailing juristic opinion seems to be that changing away from the franc would have required a referendum because while it

Politco makes it sound much bigger than it actually is. Only two things are now secured in the constitution: - The franc is the national currency - The swiss national bank is responsible for the supply of cash. This doesn't have any ef

Assuming you have the yellowish, metal tracks (M-Track) it should work more or less. Electrically the tracks with the connectors for power might have capacitors for radio interference reasons, they're unnecessary for and cause problems

GP mentioned Märklin H0, so Y-Loops aren't a Problem anyway because both wheels have the same potential, it's a modified 3rail system with a bunch of studs in the middle as a 3rd rail.

And that would violate both BMWs Trademark and Patent, which at least in Switzerland could mean having to pay BMW damages and get fined for importing counterfeit goods.

ASP.NET could mean a bunch of programming languages and I'm assuming that a ASP.NET Server doesn't disclose that. It's probably safe to guess mostly C#, but that requires a different metric.

Doesn't Brave disable WebBluetooth by default via a flag?

For me it's a bottle opener, a corkscrew and a knife that's good enough. More picnic less camping in the wild.

STM32 MCUs are 3V3, not 5V right? Arduino really isn't great with naming, a Uno can be an AVR or ARM based board, now either 3V3 or 5V based and also a SBC rather than just a MCU.

I'd like to argue that electric Rechauds are superior anyway. Fuel paste or gas always seems to run out just before you're finished, everything cools down while refilling and then you have to get the fluid up to temperature again.

Probably too small. Also Switzerland is easy to bully, as can be seen by the current US tariff regime.

MAUI is supposed to use native ui components, AvaloniaUI just uses Skia. I think going with a non-native approach would kinda make Linux a clear second class platform, especially with all the native features that need to be rebuilt? Is the

.NET LTS is on a 2-year cycle, isn't it? I've worked in .NET shops with very niche WPF/WinForms applications where customers were years behind with our software/major .NET Framework releases. I don't think it's

I don't think that's a fair summary of Mozillas Position on the WebBluetooth/WebSerial/WebUSB specs. Interacting with arbitary devices has arbitrary consequences, mozilla seems to assume users are not able to understand

I've done the same thing for a few reasons. - Certain things need good layouts - I think I can see a DC-DC Converter, you need to minimize certain loop areas, etc. You also need to ensure that you use the correct footprints for the chi

Switching to a even more foreign language is a bit weird - in my experience the concern about English is much greater than about German. I'd expect people would just only speak swiss German (deciding between talking swiss German or sta

But every speaker of swiss german is expected to also speak and write standard german. "swiss standard german over swiss german dialect" is enforced in school, sometimes even during breaks. There's no formalized system for wr

I'm not sure if that's just my narrow view of europe, but most european railways seem to run double decker trains (albeit not on all lines). Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republi

it's nit-picky, but I think the swiss approach of "as fast as necessary, not as fast as possible" is worth separation from "train go fast", especially since it's mostly the later that shows up in comparisions&#

> extremely fast It's generally called "as fast as necessary", more focused on total journey lenght with the clock-face schedule across the whole country. Other countries certainly have faster trains.

Modern Panzerholz (Kunstharzpressholz, 'synthetic resin densified wood') is manufactured with resin - this new material doesn't seem to rely on resin, but only on the cellulose contained in the wood.

The complete system only controls the train insofar as it can apply the brakes (and probably cut the steam). What it can do depends on the lineside equipment. On newer routes it replaces the signals, keeps track of where the train is, where

Route knowledge exists in Germany, it's called "Streckenkunde" and under normal circumstances drivers in germany can't just drive anywhere. I think it's a fairly common thing in europe, Switzerland and Austria also

In my understanding it's a complete ETCS L2 system, so it needs a "Euroradio" for GSM-R, a bunch of redudant sensors for Odometry, a balise transmission module, an interface to the train to interact with the brakes and a cent

Would Canada get voting rights? I would assume that Canada (or any other aquisition) would get a status like the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico to prevent a political shift in the US.
