As already been said, an Oscilloscope is for more professional work. As an example you can take a look at the iPod Remote Protocol ( https://tinymicros.com/wiki/Apple_iPod_Remote_Protocol ) or watch Jeff Geerlings video

Yeah I forgot solder wick. It's better to have both. However, if you'd always used cheap pumps you'd maybe like to try the Engineer SS03. It's a whole different ballpark, although it is pretty expensive. The clones are n

I don't fully agree. Hakko is high quality, quiet, but also VERY expensive (300+ bucks) and the gun contains the vacuum pump which makes it HEAVY and not easy to work with for longer than a few minutes. The ZD-8965 is cheaper (not as h

I'm aware of that. Just thinking of using ANY space, that can be filled - like all hallow room in the plane that cannot be made use of. I'm not an engineer, probably it is more reasonable to fill the remaining space with battery ;

I wonder if these airplanes are using helium to "reduce the weight"... that is something I also don't usually on drones. Probably too expensive.

Oh I forgot... a big magnifier glass (8x to 15x) with an LED light is way cheaper than a microscope and very helpful for small parts soldering (SMD) :-)

While soldering is not that hard, different tasks require different tools. Most of them can be from very cheap to very expensive. As a beginner I'd recommend the following: A small USB-C soldering iron supported by IronOS[1], e.g. Pine

Seems that it is doable: https://github.com/PixiEditor/PixiEditor However, I think without having the burden of legacy code and APIs it is a bit easier to accomplish. Probably paint.net has been targeting Windows platf

Here is the article: https://brettcodes.com/im-done-using-ai/ This was a great read. Thank you. Somehow this is very similar to what I felt like about six months ago. The AI fatigue is real and I'm still kind of f

These are self-hosted clients... It's a web interface for multi-mail (many accounts) not tied to one provider. This is not about hosting a DIY mail server. Also see https://roundcube.net/

I did a lot of research in this field and additionally in audiobooks. While I still think that the iPod Nano 7 is the perfect device for me, I recently got my hands on a HiBy R1. For 60 bucks it is a remarkable non Android device (in fact i

You are right... I personally own a T480s and it is a remarkable device, which can be repaired just like the framework (although most parts are no longer available new). I added a glass trackpad (which is way better than the original) and o

Great, then i have to try this. Hopefully it can be used via git to have a deployment for all my home linux desktop environments including my wife and parents. Thanks for taking the time and for making this!

Is this a similar but more generic approach to cosmic sync[1] or more like a company deploys to many employees? 1: https://ostechnix.com/system76-cosmic-sync-linux-desktop-set...

I think the only way vendors will learn that this is not acceptable is people not buying their stuff any more. In my opinion Windows has pushed "slop" too far and is now experiencing lowering market share and I really hope this ha

One thing I also did not know until recently was that there actually is ECC unified memory. I noticed the difference because in a Hardware forum someone wrote that the framework desktop does not have ECC while an HP G2 Workstation also feat

On ZFS it often is old snapshots and it is surprisingly hard to find out how much space will be freed after destroying one. I found out that 'zfs destroy' has a dry-run option along with one that can show reclaimed space. After th

If the ORM is capable of validation or integrates with such a component, i personally think that it integrates well for these parts of an APP, where simple datamanagement is required... E.g. adding, editing and deleting DB records, that nee

Additionally I think the migration management that most ORMs support are also a good thing. Defined and type-safe forward and backward strategies are helpful in most cases, especially if you'd like to support more than one DBMS. I pers

There are other open source models that produce very good quality: F5-TTS FishTTS (they changed their license to make money) I also did some experiments with CoquiTTS, but FishTTS was the most promising in german language samples.
