I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.
It’ll be fine as long as you don’t try and start it up again within a few minutes of turning it off.
Pressure just needs to slowly bleed from the high pressure side to the low pressure side of the compressor before it starts again, so that it isn’t initially stalled against high pressure.
Are you familiar with https://old.reddit.com/
How much longer do you think Reddit will keep an option that doesn’t maximise end user engagement metrics?
“Why do people do X, when in my opinion if you disregard the two top reasons for doing X, it’s pointless? Prove to me that it would be better!?”
It’s difficult on the back end of the charger as well.
A shopping centre or rest stop can’t just spring for a few high capacity chargers for the car park. A single megawatt charger is 50 houses worth of consumption, so they now need a substation upgrade to provide what is basically a whole neighbourhood-equivalent of power.
Lots of expensive industrial equipment runs these kinds of processors still. You can still buy motherboards with 8 bit ISA slots even, although you’ll pay quite a premium.
But all of that kind of gear typically runs its own distro with an in-house build system. For example, my work uses a flavour of Buildroot for their embedded Linux systems and you can just set whatever processor type you like all the way back to plain old i386 when you build it.
It was a Sharp “Memory LCD”.

Basically “visible memory storage”.
You treat it as addressable memory and write into it, and it will hold that state using about 15 microwatts to do so.
You can still buy the display modules , there’s a few boards that let you easily drive them with arduinos and etc.
Maybe we should take the Amazon storefront naming approach where instead of repurposing exisiting nouns we just create new words from combinations of vowels and consonants, like Pnopty, or Flontep.
Always make your test messages something like, “Test message, please ignore”.
That way if it all goes wrong at least it looks like it was somewhat intentional.
They’re not missing funds though, it’s not a discrepancy in accounting. They overpaid , they know where the money is, and it’s simply a business decision whether to recover it or not.
They could have simply filtered on overpayment above some arbitrary value based around recovery vs goodwill.
Or they could have let it slide, but still notify people so that they wouldn’t be wondering if it was an accounting error.
But no, they want to recover 23 cents which is well below the cost of everyone’s time and effort to deal with, on both sides of the transaction.
You can just use a soulseek client.
However I have a build of this daemon running on a Qnap storage device, which is super handy just for ad-hoc music searches, and people can also peruse my music library 24/7.
…use Windows on an air-gapped PC to do all your software development? At least then hackers won’t steal your source and post your shameful code on the internet.
You can set up fast roaming (802.11r) which is supported by most mobile clients and gives a much more organised handover between APs. Bit of config tangle but apparently works ok once you get it going.
Why the fuck isn’t there just a simple status LED that is on the same circuit as the camera?
Because cameras aren’t simple on-off devices powered by a single wire, that’s why. It’s always got power, and it’s turned “on” (send image data over the data bus) and “off” (do not send data) by software commands over the same data bus.
So the most convenient solution is then have the camera IC have an output that can drive an indicator light. And as camera ICs are basically full computers in their own right, they can be reprogrammed so that they don’t turn on that output.
End result is that you are much better off either having a physical cover over the camera lens, or having a USB camera that you can unplug.
Does it download the actual music tracks from youtube-music, or does YouTube helpfully provide the video version of the music?
I’ve used a few downloaders and it seems these days that every music video is a whole “production” with 30 seconds of dialogue and intro before the actual music starts, or there’s background noise over the first dozen bars (because the artist is in a cafe or car park or on the train in the clip) and all of that is just a bit tedious when listening to the audio only.
Something like a raspberry pi or equivalent, and use reverse SSH set up to connect to a server with a known address on your end.
This means that ports don’t need to be opened on their end.
Also if you go with a gateway host, shift SSH to a randomised port like 37465, and install fail2ban.
That’s easy. Just fly somewhere and bring it in your carry-on, airport security will let you know.
I don’t think there’s anything commercially available that can do it.
However, as an experiment, you could:
You could probably/eventually script this kind of operation if you have software that can automatically identify and group images.
Dammit now I have to reduce the block size of my discord-based cold storage filesystem.
Letting it ring has no impact. They have autodiallers that call, and when someone picks up, only then is that call assigned to someone in the call centre.
You can often tell this because there is a marked delay in the response to your initial “Hello?”. Long enough that you can reliably just hang up if you don’t hear a response in two seconds.
If it’s a real person who actually wants to call you and they you call again straight away, you can just shrug off your hang-up as a network issue.
These kind of “manual” a/c units normally have a little sticker or a caution in the manual to “wait 5 minutes before restarting”.
People can easily trigger this kind of thing just by turning the thermostat back and forth, so there is usually a thermal cutout on the compressor to keep them mostly safe.
You can usually hear it when it activates, there will be a hum from the stalled compressor for a few seconds and then a little click, and then the compressor won’t start for a minute or two.
