Because the brain is really weird, and tinnitus is often a completely internal neurological phenomenon.
The sound machine linked here was really helpful for me when I had some distressing tinnitus due to concerts several years ago. If I listened to this somewhat loudly for several minutes, I'd then get about 2-3 minutes of what felt like pure silence. And for a little while after that as the tinnitus came back, my brain interpreted it as a gentle white noise instead of a continuous high-frequency tone. Then it went back to the tone a little while later. So if I was having trouble sleeping due to hyperfocusing on the tone I'd first pop in some airpods and listen to this for a few mins.
Nowadays my tinnitus is much less bothersome. Probably a combination of objectively getting a little better, and me getting more acclimated to it. Plus I've been using good musician's ear plugs for all my concerts and raves since then which stopped it from getting worse.
For affordable, semi-professional grade equipment, it is hard to beat Quick. I have Quick 202d + Quick 861dw. The tips on 202d are integrated with thermocouples and heating is indirect but inductive, which strikes a nice balance between the price of the tips (3x more affordable than cartridge tips) and performance (heats just like cartridge tips). The handle is light and has short grip-to-tip distance. I still use the original tips I bought a few years ago, so they last. I always soldered lead free and I’m shocked people on the internet find lead free hard. Some even said I must be nuts to solder lead free at 600-650F.
In the hakko line, fx-951 is the step-up which uses a heater and sensor in the tip (t15/t12 tips).
The alternative, for a hobbyist, would be something like this new iFixit iron, the Pinecil, Miniware TS80/TS100 or one of the variety of chinese irons from amazon and Aliexpress that take Hakko T12 tips (Quicko and similar).
On the high-end, professional side, it's JBC and Metcal. Expensive.
The handle is so light! Active tips! Heats up in 2 seconds. Goes to standby mode when you put away the handle to save the tips.
There's even a lighter compatible precision handle that you can buy.
Luke Gorrie posted a bunch of Twitter threads where he compare the sizes of soldering handles. Can't find it now but https://github.com/lukego/soldering might lead you to them.
I'm a ADS200 fan, too. Bought one recently after way too many years of using a 30W Weller. Having a big choice of tips is nice. As a bonus, it's made in the US. I've been able to tackle projects that I'd never have even thought of trying with the old soldering iron.
Their message template feature also has multiple limitations, for instance you aren't allowed to put variables in the footer section, but you are allowed to do so in the header section, which is strange.
Also the current limitations don't solve spam, I get spammed on WhatsApp often, it just limits it on the expense of non-offending businesses that want to offer quality service to their customers.
He loudly gave up on AMD after they did not fix a blocker he had for 5+ months and gave him the runaround the entire time when he asked for the code to fix it himself. He is still shipping the AMD tinybox with huge warning labels.
Randomly stumbled over this[1] post with another fed up open source contributor, due to several serious issues with AMDs GPU drivers and firmware that remain unresolved for years. It also references the geohot decision you mention.
Some quotes:
I find it incredible that these companies that have large support contracts with you and have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into your products, have been forced to turn to me, a mostly unknown self-employed hacker with very limited resources to try to work around these bugs (design faults?) in your hardware.
In the VFIO space we no longer recommend AMD GPUs at all, in every instance where people ask for which GPU to use for their new build, the advise is to use NVidia.
Didn't they recently announce that everything was open sourced? Would be cool if he took another look at it once all of the souce code is available (if not already).
I'm not sure if he's "attempting to solve it" so much as he's looking for yet another way to keep himself famous.
The guy did one good jailbreak for the iPhone, and as near as I can tell, the rest of his work has been a lot of boasting, half-assed hyped-up implementations (e.g: his self-driving car), and trying to befriend other powerful people in tech (see: his promise to single-handedly fix Musk's Twitter). He might be a smart dude, but he vastly overrates his own accomplishments, and doesn't finish near anything he starts.
I see many people in this thread saying that this is a good way to hide insights from ids/numbers, I don't understand, aren't the generated values easily decoded? couldn't I just decode a couple of numbers to get that insight? What am I missing.
I noticed this too, and imo it's a design flaw that people get misled this way. Sequential inputs should yield sequential outputs, otherwise you might think it's meant to be unpredictable like SHA256.
It's like trying to put out fire by lighting more fire, what am I missing?
