They’re not even trying to hide that it’s dogshit at this point.

We need to bring back 2010-2012 rage comic memes. All we needed was a badly cut-out blonde wig to trans Derp’s gender.

Same, 770 pro 80-ohm from Custom Cans. I immediately recognised the removable headband padding.

Is that a Beyerdynamic headphone I see? Possibly an 80-ohm version?

Americans will do anything to avoid just using trains.

Wasted Rick Roll opportunity.

I want to see someone run Linux on a Turing-complete deck of MTG cards.

The main problem was that it interrupted the line. We’d have to stop and inspect each product, then reposition or replace the connectors, before the reflow oven. It also ran the risk of damaging the connector, the PCB, or even the inserter head if the insertion force was too high. We had a higher rework and scrap rate compared to similar SMD-only products, but using pin in paste meant that wave soldering could be skipped altogether, and I guess someone above my pay grade determined that it was better in terms of finances.

This is just my own experience. I don’t know Rpi manufacturing practices.

I used to work on an SMT line, and pin in paste was the bane of my fucking existence. The parts (mainly connectors) were rarely within tolerance, and a leg or two would consistently miss their holes, if not outright rejected by the inserter.

I’m not defending anyone. There’s enough drama in the F/LOSS space already. I’m trying to keep the community clean of inflammatory remarks that might get out of control while I’m asleep. I’ve seen your comment history – even if you’re stating “just facts”, your temper is going to be an issue.

You might well be right, but this is not a space to discuss politics. Find another community to air out your grievances and I might even join you in shitting on whoever needs shitting on.

Could be, I have no idea. I’m Hungarian (not a fact I like to advertise), and in my language, “néger” is the correct word. It’s not considered vulgar because the word simply doesn’t have the same historical context. The variant with two "g"s is still no-no. We also have a popular hard candy called “Negró”, so named because of its black color.

This was about Torvalds, not Tech Tips

Wrong again. I was comparing Pewdiepie’s video about Linux to LTT’s Linux challenge. Felix has shown a considerable understanding of Linux and relevant components that many “tech” entertainers (least of all Linus of LTT) don’t.

Your comment is pointless, this isn’t a thread about LTT.

I was there with KSP from the early days. Squad was not in the video game business, they were a billboard advertisement company. The lead dev HarvesteR started it as a passion project. It found success with the alpha and full release in 2015.

Then in 2017 Take-Two bought the rights to the game. Squad kept working on the original, but development of the sequel was handed off to Star Theory with Private Division publishing. The game was delayed, then development was moved to a new studio, Intercept Games, which was owned by Take-Two. They also poached a third of Star Theory’s personnel, which resulted in the studio’s death. They fucked around for a few years, released the early access version, then sold Private Division, closed Intercept Games, and abandoned the game.

In short: corporate interests. KSP2’s failure had nothing to do with KSP or its developers.

Mint on one computer, Arch with Hyprland on another.

His peak of popularity was in a different era of societal awareness. His humor had an edge that was often crude and immature 15 years ago and unacceptable today, culminating in him dropping the N bomb during a livestream several years ago, and even after apologies, people just can’t let go and are still trying to crucify him.

Some others are simply hating on him because he has opinions that don’t fully align with theirs. Others, simply for being popular.

Personally I don’t feel one way or the other about him, but the video is worth watching. He shows a deep understanding of the system and its components, and more expertise than Linus “Yes, do as I say!” Sebastian presented.
