How much network bandwidth can I use before my ISP does something? Can I just saturate my uplink 24/7?

Meme image about installing STMicroelectronics STM32 software, showing the STM32CubeMX download page with instructions like "make sure you have administrator rights" and "chmod 777 SetupSTM32CubeMX", alongside STMicroelectronics, STM32CubeIDE, and STM32CubeMX logos. A cartoon character reacts with speech bubbles saying "ok ST" and "no ST", criticizing that this should not be the proper way to install the software.

Thank you ST.

I used IR ports to send java apps and ringtones around.

shoutout to Coilcraft Inc. for their insane generosity in this age of corporate stinginess

Wanted to disable my rack cooling fans when the HDDs are spun down but I forgot about the toasty PSU that also needs cooling in there.

the reason the current source looks so small and weird is because I want to cheap out on shipping when I send this out for characterization

Is hashing every single metric I have in home assistant a good source of entropy?

So, uuugh starting a project to write my own paramedic CAD out of spite was certainly A use of free will.

Global warming is out of hand.

Got like 10 mosquito bites in mid December 💀

Dear dumb Realtek crab spirit, why are you waking my laptop back up the moment I close the lid?

Learning BGA reballing… and yes, all my balls exploded. 💀

A two panel comic as follows: - Panel 1: Presenter at the stage asks the crowd: "who want to buy expensive devboard", everyone in the audience raises their hand. - Panel 2: Presenter at the stage asks the crowd: "who want to install obscure toolchain", everyone in the audience lowers their hand.

Every single time

Pretty nice that they found a way to recycle the sacrificial layer from their CNC drills.

Intrigued by the IKEA hat 🧐

Alt text: A vintage-style black-and-white illustration from Popular Science magazine (January 1963) shows a hand pouring oil into a hole in the ground. The original text suggests disposing of oil by digging a hole with a posthole digger and covering it with soil. However, the image has been edited with colorful 18650 lithium-ion battery cells placed into the hole. The caption reads: "Disposing of used 18650 cells can be a problem. Solution: Dig a hole in the ground with a posthole digger. Then pour the 18650. It will be absorbed before your next change. Cover the spot with soil."

Texas Instruments has some much cheaper and also pretty good switching chips. I think they're all grouped under the TPS series.

I think I decided, it's the certified banger one

I have two unfinished projects right now. Both are video and blog post worthy, one has finished hardware but no software, the other one has good enough software but no hardware...

Both will be certified bangers, so I can't decide.

A meme showing a map of the world with various structures including ports, airports, railroads, and the last panel says "YouTube premium users" implying they don't exist. Someone replied to this image with "@grok what are ports".

We already have people like that, and even though they could just google a question, they don't. And it's scary how little they know about survival, basic hygiene, food safety, politics, etc. We're already there.

trust me bro quantization is the key

Im in this post and I don't like it

Was trying to fall asleep when my HDD array woke up to do a monthly backup. NAS drives are pretty loud when they're right next to you.
