Yes, TFA article says they never activated any power-saving, so the idle loop is more or less just staying in active mode, which has the same power consumption as doing calculations. But one thing the article didn't point out is what h

As an off-topic remark, I've used the qoitech arc power analyzer quite a bit and it's quite nice and easy to use, when your DUT is <5V and low amps. There's also the Nordic PPK2 kit, which is cheaper but I haven't tri

It is. You can basically check out the company linkedin, people in similar roles/YoE, then google their name to find out their birthday, then just call our IRS. Ask for declared income for year X, X-1 etc. This gives you an anchor as p

To add and not nitpick, but to add the 'a' to the subjective, we make a verb out of it. But it's not immediately obvious what that means, could also be "to put in a cabinet" (which would be my interpretation). Langu

A fun thing you can do with this excellent sw is to slice a 3d object into slices to cut with a laser cutter. Ie you'll get a bunch of layers of eg cardboard or plywood, which you can assemble into a large object. Increase layer height

Yup, an important caveat. And sometimes, it may not be available, due to it not legally being allowed to be sold there (eg not following relevant regulations). And that's a valid enough reason for it not to be sold there, regardless of

It's far easier and efficient to have the seller be responsible for what they sell, rather than every buyer learn relevant regulations and research whether any potential buy follows that. And regulations are necessary since many seller

This is one of many exploitative habits of Amazon. Others include not ensuring products follow regulation, eg on hazardous substances (lead, etc), or on electrical safety. They also make your local {book, game, hobby, ...} shop go bankrupt.

It's like with cars - better performing drive trains (et al) is used to increase the power envelope instead of lowering fuel consumption, since that leads to more sales allegedly.

I was at the Fagradalsfjall eruption at 2023. Had been to Iceland for two weeks w wife and daughter, and on the last day (since the signs were there) I decided to postpone travel home for two days (w + child wanted to go home). On my last d

IIRC lego had two actual patents: the basic brick, and the classic figure. The brick is expired while the figure isn't. Hence you can find "alternate" bricks, but not figures. They do own a shitload of trademarks, and aren&#x

I would assume, yet _another_ standard. There are a bunch of them, and product builders are taking a long long time to properly implement, and often buggy. And they often result in the consumer need to buy yet another gateway/router, a

I heard it's a joke. Ha ha. I do believe that humor and being funny can be learned, and thus taught. Everything from language structure, pacing, expectations (eg the listener builds an expectation or belief of what the comedian talks a

I can see this being huge for 3d-printing. Apply on a sculpted .stl, reposition and download/save the new pose. There is already stuff in Blender to do stuff like that, but Blender is almost like a hobby in itself, just like the actual

I get you are speaking broadly and with apparently quite an opinion already (eg, is that common, really? or just your caricature view of an allergic person?), but I can only offer you my/our perspective. Daughter, highly allergic to pe

Yeah I get that. I'm leaning towards you in this case, since it's so strongly associated ice cream <-> dairy, but nowadays there are all kinds of frozen ice cream-ish products. But yes, a sign is often enough. Not always, si

That I can, and that I do :) However, I object to the notion that people being considerate of people with allergies, or people with allergies, is weird and ok to be made fun of.

by retSava 11mo ago
Is the joke that they are respectful with regards to allergies? Or am I reading a bit much of an attitude into your comment? Because it comes off as rude and tone deaf. With a child that has PA on anaphylaxis-level and has had such an react

You're absolutely right! (/s) The tone of AI-written stuff sounds to me just like the soul-less SEO-optimized content marketing blog crap we saw the years before AI became a thing. Very prevalent on Linkedin too. It just sounds&#x
