And in this specific application (simple resistor as a load) you could even save all the diodes and generate even more heat in the resistor alone instead of also „heating“ the diodes. *

This my most favorite circuit. It’s a very simple and elegant solution doing its job in silence without getting the kudos it deserves.

• I know RL is just a simple generalization for a load.

I also resisted to downvote you for the same reason. The willpower cycle continues 😁

I don’t want to sound negative but you’re both very young. If I think back to all the couples we had when we were your age I think all of them aren’t together anymore. I’m not saying you are going to split definitely but it may be very likely. People change a lot when they are growing up with age ~20+. So you may end up with the feeling of wasted time or missed opportunities if you wait a whole year.

Also, everybody should live his own life and solve his own problems. It’s going to get very hard for yourself if you jump in for everything. And your bf won’t learn lessons for his own life and doesn’t get a chance to grow.

I’d say don’t wait. Do your thing, your bf does his thing and you try to have a good time together in your free time 😁

That’s definitely not going to happen. One of the few things Windows is doing right is backwards compatibility. Have 30 year old exe? It usually just runs fine. In my experience a lot of business logic relies on this compatibility. It would be stupid from a business standpoint to break this compatibility. It would upset a lot of paying customers.

But wait a second. I’m speaking about Microsoft. All we wanted was a Windows 7 with a modernized GUI. And we got Windows 10 with Cortana, multiple Control panels, redundant settings that contradicted each other. We got Windows 11 with ads everywhere, Copilot, enforced MS accounts and so on.

It would perfectly make sense to switch to Linux. They could fire a lot of devs. I’m sure they would save a lot of money for a couple of seconds.

Obviously they don’t give a shit about customers, so this sounds like a normal thing Microsoft could do for short term gains.

Without using fancy components: Just simply adding a 6.2 and a 2400 Ohm resistor in parallel already gives you 6.18402 Ohm ⚡️

I knew I was going to find a comment about the Model M!

I use the modern incarnation made by Unicomp since 2019. Best Keyboard I ever had and probably my main keyboard for the rest of my life. It’s really that good! Minimal wear on the buttons after 6 years (I’m a developer so the keyboard gets used once in a while 😉)

One thing I wanted to mention: Although I like the clicky sound, it is quite loud. It was loud enough that I woke up my little baby girl when working at night. So I had to silence it or buy another keyboard 😔 I ended up with fiddling dental floss inside of every single spring and used o rings to dampen the noise it makes when you hit the buttons hard and they bottom out. I’d say you get 80-90% of the tactility with 30% of the noise. Perfect combo in my opinion.

Underrated comment!

I heard they are so good that they point it out in announcements when a delay was caused by foreign trains (Looking at you Deutsche Bahn)

Is C++ the first enemy that managed to win against one punch man?

TIL I have Trypophobia!

After already being the worlds biggest asshole for not wearing a suit, he may as well ask for securities. For the millionth time. Although that’s only 2% of the deal and he doesn’t have the cards. But he has raw earth. I think I’ve said enough, except thank you.

Watching zelensky die inside while contributing to this shitshow was hard. I can’t imagine how bad that poor guy must have felt. And I’m sure he’s already seen a lot of bad things.

Bought around 12 years ago. Original plan was to live there for about 5 years and then get something bigger, make kids and rent my small house. So I financed it with low payments that it would be no financial burden for me.

Then I got busy, did not find a house I liked until all prices exploded. Here I am now: Although I earn much more I’m too poor to buy something bigger, while feeling guilty knowing how cheap my house was back then. It’s really fucked up.

What I still can’t comprehend as a non American: It’s not Canada that’s going to pay the tariffs. It’s mostly US companies and at the end the US consumers will pay for it. That’s literally grabbing money from the pockets of US citizens. In what way does this sound like a good idea to a Trump voter? What happens if the affected countries start trading with each other and ignore the US? Trade wars have the the potential to develop into a full scale war if one of the participants is starved of the precious oil…

A Pet Sematary?

I agree. It’s totally simple and people overcomplicate.

BTW one nice thing about German is, that you can even use the same logic for Boolean operators: The AND operator ∧ is called UND being the shorter word (when you put the name at the top). The OR operator ∨ is called ODER being the longer word.

You can use the same logic in English if you Place AND/OR at the bottom instead 😁

May I name this piece of art? From now on let’s call it:

„The sourcecode“

It reminds me of the spaghetti code I create at work 😁

Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein für alle Tage?

How about making it mandatory to insure all employees including CEOs in the same insurance company but a group of paying customers decide what is getting paid and what not 😉
