undergrad C/C++ background, PHP is a cakewalk by comparison :-)

ah, understandable. i’m a EE by day and all of the coding i contribute to Mbin is purely for fun with no bearing on real-life, so my github profile is expendable/only for Mbin. ;-)

if you can, please create an issue for this specific problem at https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues if one doesn’t already exist or thumbs-up/add a comment to an existing one so it gets visibility. broad fediverse compatibility is one of our main project goals, but not all platforms conform to the AP spec (or it’s not addressed by the spec) and instead do their own thing, so it sounds like we’ll need to work out a common ground.

no, we maintainers (~6 active out of 13 total) have full merge power and admin rights over the repo, all it takes is 1 other maintainer to approve a PR for it to be eligible to get merged into our main branch… C4 ftw https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/C4.md.

TSMC

edit: downvote all you want, the fundamental circuit level design is not in question here… it’s how you make the damn thing and TSMC can do it better. intel talks a big game yet continues to fail on delivering any of it. i’ll believe half of what they say when i see it… and it helps that good ol’ uncle sam is helping them out, they’re gonna need it.

edit: also 17 FUCKING years ago… GD!

hard to say for sure, but U109 and U208 could be UART into those Cisco baseband or radio chips. one placement for the 2.4 GHz (G) and 5 GHz (A), respectively. would be interesting to probe around there and see if you get a serial interface to it… obviously for extra credit ;-)

you flux the fluxing flux out of it

not if you want to make it back to your car at the end of the day ;-)

i know this is for the lols, but you’d be surprised how often stuff like this happens… bodge wires and dead bugging it are much cheaper than re-spinning a board/IC. anything to get the boss off your back, just make sure to give your technicians a case of beer/beverage of choice for the extra effort fixing your fuck up.

didn’t Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they’re getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say… fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.

I’ll do YOU one better: WHY is @melroy@kbin.melroy.org?

it satisfies the borrow checker or else it gets the hose again

I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it’s what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

when you’re the OS, they let you do it. you can do anything.

100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors… not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.

hi, kbin.run admin here, i wanted to confirm that the 429 and 500s you’re seeing are not on kbin.run but fedia.io? thanks!

Haven’t looked up the station’s license to see how much power they could have been pushing, but if I were the “authorities”, I’d definely be checking local hospitals for records of anyone coming in with mild to severe [RF] burns. With [low frequency] AM stations, the tower itself is basically the other half of the antenna electrically… probably lit them up like a Christmas tree.

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn’t stop to think if we should.
