Why does that remind me of Jerma

Figma balls

My friend frequents goodwill and one time, he came home super excited to show me the Husky mini socket set he bought. He excitedly told me “oh it was only $35!”, assuming he had gotten a great deal… that same socket set was also $35 brand new at Home Depot. It’s almost predatory because people just assume goodwill has better prices. That said… my friend should’ve been smart enough to double check that before buying it, lol

And 5G. You forgot 5G.

My uni used Ubuntu in the CompE computer labs; unfortunately all other labs were windows. But the introduction to Linux was certainly nice!

Are those 3D printed replacement caps or something?

I love it! I use a Model M daily for work and remapped my RAlt to a windows key.

lol, fair enough

“Traveling, not driving” …that’s not how cars work

Not sure they did… I’ve never even heard of it before until just now

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

Most of the time, the product itself comes out of engineering just fine and then it gets torn up and/or ruined by the business side of the company. That said, sometimes people do make mistakes - in my mind, it’s more of how they’re handled by the company (oftentimes poorly). One of the products my team worked on a few years ago was one that required us to spin up our own ASIC. We spun one up (in the neighborhood of ~20-30 million dollars USD), and a few months later, found a critical flaw in it. So we spun up a second ASIC, again spending $20-30M, and when we were nearly going to release the product, we discovered a bad flaw in the new ASIC. The products worked for the most part, but of course not always, as the bug would sometimes get hit. My company did the right thing and never released the product, though.

Carefully-calculated trace lengths and signal pathing have left the chat

As someone that works writing firmware for SAS devices… it’s happened all too many times

Ah, duh! Totally forgot about that part of the article, lol

The z80 actually just went EOL last week! After nearly 50 years.

Shut

Thank you! That makes much more sense.
