Wrestle the cave bears.

Americans will do anything to avoid just using trains.

Bold of you to assume there isn’t already a genestealer cult on Terra. Washington specifically.

Worse: measuring temperatures based on what one guy felt was the coldest it could get in the winter and the hottest his fever would reach.

The main problem was that it interrupted the line. We’d have to stop and inspect each product, then reposition or replace the connectors, before the reflow oven. It also ran the risk of damaging the connector, the PCB, or even the inserter head if the insertion force was too high. We had a higher rework and scrap rate compared to similar SMD-only products, but using pin in paste meant that wave soldering could be skipped altogether, and I guess someone above my pay grade determined that it was better in terms of finances.

This is just my own experience. I don’t know Rpi manufacturing practices.

I used to work on an SMT line, and pin in paste was the bane of my fucking existence. The parts (mainly connectors) were rarely within tolerance, and a leg or two would consistently miss their holes, if not outright rejected by the inserter.

Could be, I have no idea. I’m Hungarian (not a fact I like to advertise), and in my language, “néger” is the correct word. It’s not considered vulgar because the word simply doesn’t have the same historical context. The variant with two "g"s is still no-no. We also have a popular hard candy called “Negró”, so named because of its black color.

This was about Torvalds, not Tech Tips

Wrong again. I was comparing Pewdiepie’s video about Linux to LTT’s Linux challenge. Felix has shown a considerable understanding of Linux and relevant components that many “tech” entertainers (least of all Linus of LTT) don’t.

Your comment is pointless, this isn’t a thread about LTT.

Mint on one computer, Arch with Hyprland on another.

His peak of popularity was in a different era of societal awareness. His humor had an edge that was often crude and immature 15 years ago and unacceptable today, culminating in him dropping the N bomb during a livestream several years ago, and even after apologies, people just can’t let go and are still trying to crucify him.

Some others are simply hating on him because he has opinions that don’t fully align with theirs. Others, simply for being popular.

Personally I don’t feel one way or the other about him, but the video is worth watching. He shows a deep understanding of the system and its components, and more expertise than Linus “Yes, do as I say!” Sebastian presented.

Rabbits, beavers, and hippos are fish, you see.

He didn’t get called “man of steel”, good old Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili called himself that just to massage his ego. Kind of like certified Most Fuckable Twink Nick Adams proclaiming himself to be an “alpha male”.

“Live and let live” obviously doesn’t work. 4chan has done so much damage to the world that I wouldn’t mind seeing their big players in gallows in the town square.

Those are two different measurements.

He’s six feet tall.

And he’s three inches.

I kind of expect Google and Meta to 69 each other. Google takes over Insta, Meta takes over Chrome.

I know. I’ve played it many times. I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough.

Why not just go through Sloan? Seems so much easier.

(I know why you don’t go through Sloan. Feel the sarcasm, people.)

Because one hog ain’t enough, and two’s too low, it is I, Thirty-To-Fifty-Hogg!

Can’t wait to see Mullenweg’s next feat of mental gymnastics about how this was also caused by WP Engine
