They pioneered modern day planned obsolescence, they also popularised unrepairable electronics. They try to block or bastardise any right to repair bills. They force chip distributors to not sell chips they use so their products can't be repaired. They make building applications for Mac at scale a huge pain in the ass and extremely expensive, the solution I recently built wastes insane amounts of power because of the way Apple licenses their stuff. Overall it's a shitty company who fucks poor people in developing nations, fucks the environment and fucks it's customers. I don't care how well it may or may not work, fuck Apple.
Also OSX ui is shit and annoying.
I've decided to label myself bisexual homoromantic. Way easier than some rigid BS people enjoy policing.
I've gotten worse treatment in the lesbian community than any other. Demanding tolerance from others doesn't immediately mean that those people demanding tolerance are tolerant themselves.
I think it's also important for people to understand the mental effects of dating an ace person as someone who isn't ace. I got caught up in that and it took a long while for me to stop thinking I was undesirable and gross.
Same here. I'll pirate the security updates for the next 3 years and then switch. Fuck Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft.
Probably just designed to fail maybe?
But you're not discussing it, your projecting your world views on others and making accusations and assumptions about me. Which I don't really appreciate. You neither know me, how my mind works or what I've gone through. It also seems like you may or may not understand how mental health issues can affect cognition or perception.
So with that, I'll end the conversation there.
It was a joke. Just like "If a tree falls in the forest, and you're watching a video of it on Linux, does it make a sound?"
I dislike Bluetooth anyway, it's a shit protocol.
What does that even matter?
Maybe I don't want to be alive? Maybe being alive was something that was done to me? Maybe being born into the family and body I have is the trick?
Like, you sound so pedantic, bitter and quite angry about something people say to express something happening slowly without necessarily noticing how bad it is until something brings it to their attention.
Believe it or not, and this may be hard to grasp, but not everyone experiences life the way you do in your head.
So I've worked in IT for around 18 years now and in that time I've worked for 2 gaming companies, I started my most recent a year ago, but I'm wondering if I should just jump ship for the tech industry again, I'm now waiting for the layoffs in our business unit. I'm an immigrant living on a work permit and losing my job will mean losing the life I've made for myself over the last 4 years, and that terrifies me.
I used to love the company I work for but now I'm wondering if it's worth it anymore.
Today we welcome the teams at Activision Blizzard King to Team Xbox. It's a good day to play.
Hi,
I'm looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don't fully understand.
I'm planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.
The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.
What I'd like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a Janson 2450AT42B100 or a Molex 479480001.
They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don't think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don't know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I'm not actually sure if it is or not:
You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH
So my questions are:
1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?
2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?
3: If I can't get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?
Edit: Found this SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.
