Somehow I feel like the green on some green PCBs from the 80s and 90s look so much nicer than the standard green PCBs you get now, but I can’t put my finger on it. https://xdevs.com/doc/Fluke/8842A/img/acred.jpg

There are makerspaces here, but they are still a bit far which sucks because they are cool. But with the time getting there and back plus the cost of admission, I feel like I’d have to be doing way more projects to make it worth. definitely one thing I regret about school is not using their makerspace enough. Also kinda the whole degree. hehehehhh

Though I mostly work on electronics and I think the good thing about electronics, compared to machine shop stuff, is that you can really get a lot done with just a little lab. Precision gear still costs a lot, but it’s nothing compared to the cost of big mills and lathes and stuff. And it actually fits in the apartment

it’s so slick.

I need to get back to building shit

divisive? yeah division between this genocide supporter and his lunch money

“It’s got good stuff, but mixed with memes and Redditism and laziness”

that’s what I’m here for mostly.

i say this as a battery guy

holy shit stop putting batteries in stuff. they suck

I’ve managed to avoid learning about whatever the fuck this is

gamers are horrible

whoa, I see kicad schematics. Add me too.

It’s definitely appropriate to just keep it simple for something like this, at least for the basic version. No microcontroller required. Yet, anyways. :sicko-embedded-engineer:

If I’m at home and not working, it’s no contest - I plug in some real headphones, open back over-ears preferably.

That said, I’ve been really liking these wireless Samsung things recently. They are in-ears, so maybe a bit off-topic. These days it seems all I do is eat hot chip, work with loud equipment, and ride the train - so, lots of background noise and over-ears are too cumbersome.

1. I’m getting lucky with this bluetooth stuff. They pair immediately when i open the little case, 100% of the time.
2. These samsung ones just sit in my outer ear and may be the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever tried. Definitely the most comfortable in-ears. They don’t even fall out when I’m running, and the normal silicone-tipped ones always did.
3. They don’t sound good, and this is no surprise because the driver is so small and the form factor is so weird. But they sound okay, and on the train no headphones are sounding that much better than these.
4. Cable doesn’t get in the way or get caught on things when I’m working, and also maybe it’s some sensory thing but I hate how the cable feels running under my shirt. For me this is huge.
5. The battery is not great. Needs charging every day.

At any rate, wired definitely shouldn’t be phased out. My new phone has no 3.5mm jack

it’s wild how they just look like little guys, how did that happen

I think one of the main flaws of socialism and planned economies in general is not accounting for supply and demand. In a capitalist society, if you don’t want something, you don’t buy it, whereas under a planned economy you’re stuck with it because that’s what the state decided to make. Case in point the coffee shortages in east Germany when it was controlled by the soviets. The people were extremely unhappy to the point of rioting.

the coffee

As opposed to our famously robust capitalist economy which never has shortages and efficiently allocates resources to the most critical needs, of course.
