You already don’t have a good vibe from him, and life goals sound incompatible. If he made one sexual innuendo and you didn’t respond to it, then he continued doing so he doesn’t respect your boundaries.

Hard pass

The lack of documentation is a huge problem, if you opened up an old tube amp to fix it there was often a full schematic taped to the cover. Solid state amps often had component values stenciled right on the board.

The case was reportedly quite damning and ended up going nowhere.

I haven’t seen any sources yet that say that’s why she was fired though, it could be. It seems more likely that trump hates her dad and wants to install another loyalist.

Wired did a piece on this, but there isn’t much more information in it than this one

Behind the curve, watersports are so 90’s

The level of technical knowledge needed to repair things has increased, while general technical knowledge has decreased. People aren’t reading Popular Mechanics from the 1950’s where “build a hovercraft from an old lawnmower” the building one.

Parts are also a huge problem. Where previously a car alternator, for example, was three discrete parts, alternator-rectifier–voltage regulator, that is now a single assembly. If one of those parts goes bad you need to replace the whole thing, unless you have used parts you can pull from. For some things the assembly is NLA, no longer available.

As for why it’s cheaper that comes down to manufacturers wanting to sell you a new one, not wanting to have to spend money on repair stock sitting somewhere, and possibly not having access to it themselves since very few manufacturers actually produce a complete product on their own.

For something simple like a Bluetooth speaker, the power supply comes from one company, the Bluetooth module and amplifier from another, the driver, a display board, the housing, someone designs it and puts that all together. If any one of those chains fails you may not be able to source the part to fix something.

There are usually workarounds to this but unless you are doing it yourself it will be cost prohibitive

Example: friend rented a house with a new stove, gas top, electric oven. Two months later the oven stopped working, motherboard was NFG (no fucking good), it was also NLA. So the landlord bought a new stove. The old one could have been made to work, but the complete functionally would not have been there. If my friend owned this I would have said ‘I can make it work, but you will be missing these features’.

I’m all for that.

When I post in the Wikipedia community though I do so because I find an article interesting, not because I agree with its contents or someone’s objectives.

I have never seen the original, I did see the reconstruction as a static display though. My friend said “wait, those inbreds were at the forefront of submarine tech?”

So she’s going to jail for breaking U.K. privacy laws and lying about it. That’s good I guess.

Co-op announced on 30 April that it had been hacked, initially saying it would only have a “small impact” on its call centre and back office.

But days later, after being contacted by the alleged hackers, BBC News revealed that customer and employee data had been accessed.

Oh, no, my bad she said

it was “personal” to her because of the impact that it had on her colleagues.

We can only hope that she can afford therapy to get over this…

She earns an annual salary of £750,000, plus a bonus, bringing her total remuneration to over £1 million in recent years

No, the writer freely admits it is their fault. They try to get a new case, but it’s no longer available. The problem is lack of first party support and third party options.

The same as whatever those ai pins were called.

There should be laws specifying minimum support times and open sourcing code and hardware after that.

Yep

They believe she received around 385 million baht ($11.9m; £8.8m) over the past three years.

Organized religion is just tax free graft

Hopefully aeharding will weigh in.

Previously were you only blocking via Voyager? If you were maybe it is some kind of sync problem, and now that you blocked via Piefed it forced a sync.

Just a thought

Are they being blocked but just not showing in the Voyager blocklist? Or are you seeing things on Voyager that are blocked on Piefed web ui?

I know this doesn’t matter anymore, but I thought you couldn’t depart to 3rd countries unless someone arrived from there.

And yes, I read this bit

Last month, the US Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own.

Doesn’t it violate international law?

Define “some” money. If your needs are actually basic, roof over your head, food, like that, then there are many places you can go.

Participate in a free community repair event, where volunteer fixers will help you learn how to repair your broken or slow devices - and tackle the growing mountain of e-waste.

Keep in mind that some people are not actually interested in fixing their own things, they may not be able to because of disabilities too.

Informally I’m the guy in my hood who fixes shit, neighbors bring things to me all the time. Been doing it for years, only one person has shown any real interest in learning about it though. I always try to say “If it happens again, you can do this” if I think it’s safe for them to do so.

Some will take the initiative, some won’t. I also don’t want someone unqualified to just start poking around on Mains voltage or with powerful motors.
