This is what I think of when all of these headlines about boomer-to-millineal wealth transfers come out every few months.

How is this a good thing? How does this wealth transfer help decentralize the wealth in the US?

The only thing I’m probably being left is a vintage collection of HGTV Magazines and piles of depreciating assets.

I had a similar bug happen to me with refunds Q1 of 2022. They withdrew money from my account mistakenly a few times and are still trying to resolve it. I suspended all transfers from my checking account to eBay and now they’re sending menacing emails. They still seem like they are unable to fix the problem and their systems are threatening me with collections even though their support teams openly admit it’s a mistake.

Feel free to DM me as well, I seriously wonder if there is some security vulnerability being exploited here that eBay is either incompetent to find or is trying to cover up.

Dead bug style circuit assembly has been popular in the ham community for a long time. It’s definitely a legacy thing but still quite common for hobbyist projects.

It’s quite suitable for specific RF situations provided you have done the right characterization work.

God I love krazam. I think what makes it better is the hint of amazon hell he adds into all his videos (I believe he works there).

We’ll see how the new EVs entering the market change things. Most of the Tesla owners that I know purchased it as their first car.

I will agree the powertrain and tech (not the god awful screen) are the best in the market at the moment. Maybe it’s just me, but a vehicle needs to cover the basics before anything fancy such as the acceleration will sell it.

For something priced as high as the TM3, TMY or TMX, I find it hilarious that someone would spend even more money just to bring it to parity with other the automotive "luxuries" such as sound deadening. Mind you, most of these luxuries are have been provided by other economy cars at <50% of the cost for _decades_.

Just as an observation I don't think the new money buying these cars understands or has ever sat in an actual nice car at the same price point. It's reminiscent of bay area housing. Crap quality, outrageously expensive, and with plenty of people with no other life experiences willing to defend it at a moment's notice.

I think it’s pretty funny

Who knows.

Decided it was best to leave names out.

I used to run one of the more populated channels on freenode before one of they killed nickserv registration without notifying anyone. As a result I lost chanserv access and the oper/freenode staff member I contacted “couldn’t prove I was the actual owner”. I think that freenode has suffered from chronic mismanagement for years.

I professionally worked with some members in the channel who attested to my identity and true ownership of the channel and I offered to provide a signed pgp message using my registered email to prove that I owned the channel using a domain name that I own which matched all of my information (basically a true cryptographic proof of identity).

Instead of this, the oper made me announce my intentions to “re-take over” the channel to the other members saying that if nobody contested then he’d return ownership. I did this for about four months every week. Then the oper decided to give owner perms to his friend saying that I wasn’t active enough to administer the channel. After his buddy took over the channel, there have been no administrative actions taken (ie no mode changed) because there haven’t needed to be any? It’s almost as if I knew how to administer an IRC channel and configured it in a way where it didn’t need to be touched? Either way it was pretty much a slap in the face after spending years growing a community for their platform. If anyone is a member of this channel and wants to start fresh ##embedded channel somewhere else, happy to do so. I hope others do the same.

Looks like the former staff member resigned recently. Good on you buddy. But you still have a special place on my no fly list :).

So why aren’t we doing the same thing to Comcast again?

Hence why they people use percentile measurements for alerting at places like AMZN.

I’ve been using the demo for a few months now — it is impressive software.

Excellent post, Jack.

Any chance you're going to release a nude version of classy finder?
