@timbray@cosocial.ca So glad I'm on excellent municipal fiber. Great speed and service at a fair price. But the city had to win a lawsuit brought on by the usual suspects to be able to do it.
Why do people keep believing the lie that private companies can do better?
Whelp, the NYT Connections is complete nonsense again tonight. Glad I didn't bother to try for very long.
I feel for all the #engineers whose bosses are getting all these #AI generated spam messages that I'm getting, full of scary word salad about supposed "issues" with their product. Must be a full-time job to defuse all that if you have gullible non-technical executives.
Oops. I wish that when I had copied a symbol to make a new part in #KiCad, and then proceeded to forget to update the pinout, that I had at least used a symbol that had the pinout that 95% of the SOT23-5 buck converters on the market seem to use. But no, of course I copied the symbol with a pinout that only a few chips even used. And those are all asynchronous buck converters. 🙄
