Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic”
  • I don't know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don't use very often, I hope I recall correctly)

    • Refunds
    • Family sharing of games
    • Sharing games for other local users
    • Being able to lend games
    • Remote Play (with friends)
    • Remote Play (stream for a local machine)
    • Linux support through proton
    • probably more?
  • A cool guide software alternative
  • It depends on the use cases. I don't like how this post makes it look like the "Linux" alternatives are drop in, one-to-one replacement. Inkscape has been immensely useful to me, but for professional work, it might not be a reasonable replacement.

  • Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.
  • What do you mean exactly by organic maps editing tools? I was using organic maps before to add businesses, but now StreetComplete can also do that (and more!). I sometimes use Vespucci because it is very powerful, but it's a bit of a pain to use.

  • Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration?
  • Actually, a least some cars (probably more than you think)/have some sort of "emergency" breaking signal, which often result in the usual breaking signal blinking for a while. You need to seriously slam the brakes to see it though. E.g: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j_osu1WgGMU

    There is also a nice technology connection video talking about braking lights for electric cars and in general, which can be dangerous.

  • Riser mount for smd component

    I did not know about this mounting method. Probably it's a way to improve passive cooling capabilities?

    Please do not pet wire-bonded chips
  • We are working towards having a product properly packaged. This is a prototype that is not mature enough yet to justify the cost/time to package it. Moreover, this custom chip is used to measure ultra low currents (down to femto amps), so any packaging could potentially interfere with the measurement capabilities (-> no epoxy). It is however protected by a large shielding box, but it's no use during assembly/modifications :/

  • Please do not pet wire-bonded chips
  • The little gray wires should be all nice and straight. Even though your chip may be a good boi, touching it will wreak havoc on the wire bonding. Repairing the damage shown on the picture takes a skilled worker and very expensive equipment. Even then the repair is not fully guaranteed to be successful.
