I switched away from full solid copper floods due to this. (Even with nice soldering equipment.) I still use full size floods but they are more like basket-weave patterns, probably 50% copper. I rotate the pattern on my second inner plane.
Four layer boards are so cheap now, it's all I choose. I usually do two internal ground planes and route my power on one side unbroken. I haven't made an interrupted return path since watching Rick Hartley videos.
I love perl. I work with it every day still, 25 years later. I recently rewrote a cellular provisioning API in it to be fully object oriented.
I do not write it to win an obfuscation contest. I like it to be read as easily as possible. It is a joy to watch the core objects of the system work together so cleanly.
My friends and I played Wizardry on an Apple II with a green screen for so long that it would blast out the green receptors in our eyes for a while afterwards, and everything would be pink hued.
Oh man. I never noticed that, but played many many hours in the same hardware. Remember how you could tell if you’d be getting more than merely gold after a fight based on the Disk II sounds?
Tethering to 5G and LTE enabled cell phones in this situation is very common. They are certainly getting rid of their broadband fiber, cable or DSL before their discounted cell services.
Excepting tethering in the US often has unfathomably low data-transfer limits before the carrier seriously kneecaps the speed or even cuts you off entirely.
AT&T, for example, defaults to a 5GB limit: https://www.att.com/plans/tethering/ - you could easily hit that limit from watching a couple hours' of Netflix.
And to preempty classist pearl-clutching: I maintain people on low-income assistance programs should/must have the same effective right to watch Netflix as anyone else.
I have a feeling the overlap of people who truly need a subsidy to afford internet access, and Netflix subscribers, has to be pretty empty.
I'm not necessarily against subsidies, FWIW. Schools near me have all but mandated you have Internet at home. If that's going to be the case, it needs to be available. Maybe a bare minimum speed(few mbps?) free tier?
> the same effective right to watch Netflix as anyone else.
That would be "no right" then because there is no such thing as a "right" to a commercial service. It is a privilege which can be acquired by paying for the service.
I do not pay for Netflix nor for any other such service so I can not watch it.
The sensor that detects whether the lid is closed works just as well whether you slam it shut or close it gently, so it's unnecessary to actually slam the lid.
I bet the Earth chuckles at our attempts to label either of these the largest living things. I guess as Guinness Book entries go, these will do until something surpasses them. I've got to think that there is a more massive fungus in the Amazon for example.
I’ve seen this in Vancouver, Portland, and SF. Not saying it isn’t worse in Victoria, just that all these cities have a similar political leaning and policies, and have induced the same criminal behaviors.
I've seen people smoking heroin on the subway, in the park, and various other public places in Oslo and yet public drug use isn't decriminalised here. Once you hit a certain low, you just stop caring, I suppose.
