thread in which I talk about why the "wrap your games console in a towel" or "reflow the bga" thing works to fix some consoles, and it's nothing to do with solder balls.

@gsuberland Outlook does frequently make me ask myself, “How do I work this?”  @gsuberland I hope this email finds you in an average house with a nice hardwood floor, your wife and your job, your kids and your car, your feet on the table, and a Cuban cigar. did you know that the default Windows 10 desktop background is a photo, not a digital effect? it's a Kvant Spectrum laser projector with Saturn 9000 scanners beaming light into a sheet of transparent acrylic with black cardboard masks. there's even a short video showing an animated show variant of it here: https://www.precisionlasers.com/projects/windows10

 @gsuberland but this is C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain...  the upside of having ADHD is that I can complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings. the downside of having ADHD is that I keep putting myself in situations where I need to complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.

 @gsuberland I really appreciate the great conversation you kicked off here. So many good replies!  @gsuberland@chaos.social the problem is when you burn yourself from that so hard that your average 2 hours work finishes being 10 hours work and there are days you cannot function x3  @gsuberland sounds quite similar to one of my former colleagues with narcolepsia. She'd go on a 40 hour+ coding bender sometimes, then collapse and you wouldn't see her for a week. "Karens shouting about masks at people in public" aka Non Maskable Interrupt @gsuberland in the bored tones of someone reciting the responses at a mass take your damn upvote hello I would like to talk to you about your blahaj's extended warranty

 Is this a Bash shell script, C shell script, Dash shell script, Korn shell script, Z shell script? Or a shell script written in a specific defunct Unix vendor's custom version of a Bourne shell sold only to our company in 1982 and we can't find hardware for that box on Ebay anymore and the numbers don't work if we budget anything to port this?   @gsuberland And sometimes the shell script could have been a python/C#/whatever script. "average GPU spends 70% of its time rendering raymarched stuff" factoid actually just statistical error. average GPU marches 0 rays a year. Shaders Georg, who lives in a demoparty & renders over 400 exegfx prods a day, is an outlier and should not have been counted That the Internet Archive lost their lawsuit only serves to prove that we need more projects like Sci-Hub and Library Genesis to bolster the availability that more mainstream libraries cannot provide due to pressure applied by rent-seekers. I wanted to read a technical book the other day. The publisher was charging $130 for an e-book copy. A physical copy was listed at over $200. Both of the authors of the book have been dead for a decade. It's greed, pure and simple. if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself. at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.

 @gsuberland i feel like if this happened in 2023 they'd just do the apple "you're holding it wrong" thing and tell people to not use the booted cables correct blahaj unpacking procedures source: https://twitter.com/Mahoukarp/status/1595937769540435973 |
