OC42 transistors! 😍

Seat 61 — Byway Travel

Fancy a European holiday by rail this year? I've been given voucher code SEAT61OFF for eco-friendly holiday firm Byway, it gives £61 off any booking made in Jan, Feb or March for travel at any time of year to any Byway destination, booked through www.byway.travel/seat-61-enqu...

I'm still nostalgic for Sunday mornings with the twin tub. First the sheets, then the other whites, then the light colours, and finally the dark colours. All in the same water. And the rubber web thing for the spinner that we kept nicking to play spiderman.

I agree, looks like a solder/flux problem. All the joints in the photo are odd - either poor penetration of the through-hole or weird blobbing. I went back to leaded for exactly this problem!
Doesn't explain the round vs square pad thing, but that's maybe just a coincidence.

We'd still like a photo to see it for our (curious) selves! 😉

Or are all the square ones on the ground plane and sucking out all the heat?

Was going to suggest the F65 by Chauvin Arnoux .... but no DC for the clamp. Just thought I'd mention it for anyone else landing here.

Ask here! 😉

Wait 'til you find out what the British Board of Film Classification saw in the Kintyre peninsula... 😉

We strike again tomorrow and Friday.

JOIN US - the picketline was packed last week. Will be the same tomorrow.

The strength of feeling is undimmed 💪⬇️

Go for it! And for even more fun (and, I think, a better understanding of the hardware) make your own. I started with some basic ShrimpingIt designs.

Yeah, already had this happen to me a few years ago. Ended up using the track from a new one to replace the bad one in the old pot. Some _minor_ adjustment was required, but it's still going strong...

Errr, stones, pounds and ounces.

14 rings of 16 LEDs ... pounds and ounces? Bathroom scales display?

A connoisseur?

Everyone? 🙄

Unfortunately people have such a short attention span, especially when mainlining reality TV. Today's catastrophe is quicky replaced by tomorrow's episode of Strictly. 😢

Ahem, you're _differently_ talented. 😉

As are we all! 😁

@arcrooksmoor.bsky.social Hey twin!

What was the weather like on the other days?

And haven't 1 and 3 been reversed?

How about this home-made one...

Anyone out there got any news of Naomi Wu @realsexycyborg.bsky.social ?
Used to follow her on the other place for her techie, social and political insights, and her doing anything to help people, until things became difficult for her.
Just like to know she's doing her thing and doing ok really...

But, I can...

Hopefully Espressif will turn up in this place soon to answer this sort of question.
