I am currently fighting the desire to build a flight simulator modeled after a Cessna 172 or similar. I definitely will not have the money for that for a long while.

People say #SoftwareBloat is not a thing and I present to you a 4.2GB difference in installation size depending on the existence of #.NETframework or not... That's ridiculous... 4.2GB... why?

Army tests robotic coyotes to defend fighter jets Unmanned ground vehicles mounted with life-size plastic coyotes are one idea proposed as part of a new effort to keep wildlife away from military aircraft.

Coyote decoys on a mobile platform... 😂

While in college, I had a lot of people wanting to study with me for the electronics courses we were in, but they would not want to help me with the composition course issue I had. I have generally learned "people suck, do you" over the years and it makes me feel bitter.

I dropped out because of composition courses and learned how awful corporate culture is over 16 years of employment. No one gave me advice that stuck or resonated with me at some point in my life like that.

Nice... Somehow #gpsd has managed to get this far using 'ifconfig' in a test script. 🙄

Absolutely awful. I still remember seeing plates stacked up from my last experience with a roommate in my house.

Are brown outs common in the area?

FCC urges courts to ignore 5th Circuit ruling that agency can’t issue fines One court said FCC violated right to trial, but other courts haven’t ruled yet.

Without fines, how can the FCC maintain amateur radio compliance? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Chart showing the composition of electricity generation in Spain. Shows a large drop in supply, with only a portion of renewables remaining online as nuclear/fossil sources all suddenly go to zero.

It's a little hard to get a chart of generation over time from the Spanish grid operator's website, but the below from ENTSOE looks correct. Can see that currently it is a portion of solar/wind/hydro that is still running. All nuclear, gas and coal generation has tripped offline.

That diagonal line is not in the file or displayed in the print preview. I am not sure where it came from. This is print two of two with the extra lines. The behavior of modern stuff is such a disappointment. @adobe.com #PDF

That front panel reminds me of the ModComp mainframe I was around back in the late 2000s.

It showed up this way. I had so many questions, too.

How about bifurcated crankcases?

Big engine stuff... Because big generators are cool.

I need to adopt this mindset more.

Does anyone actually find someone they vibe with? It seems everyone I meet just wants to fight instead...

I had heard of it, but never used it. Affiliate hijacking is not cool. Especially when it only benefits the CEO and shareholders.

Delete your honey browser plug-in, it does nothing for you.

I found the secret sauce for a Caterpillar part number. Chonky diode on a chonky resistor with some harnessing.

I really despise inconsistent user experiences. My old phone would give me the option to open it. Cancel and download again are pretty useless options. Quality is an afterthought. Just release it.

Don't mind me, I'm just undressing a big circuit breaker.

Pulse rated resistor on an RS485 bus? What?! 🤣 I'd love to see that transient! #TexasInstruments EnDat2.2 Interfacing

Germany has too many solar panels, and it's pushed energy prices into negative territory Germany has installed a record number of solar panels. But consumers aren't starting to use them fast enough.

I like how this article makes a good thing sound bad. markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodi...

Inverter hacking commences!

Anyone taking home $1,000,000 a year effectively makes $480.77 an hour. Who do you work for?

Battery build is going somewhere. Probably shortly into a brick wall for lack of parts.

Yiiiiii.....iiiiiip

Oh, that's cool!

My weekly commute is 1000 miles currently. 😂
