And I want to be able to repair my laptop if I screw up one again with my coffee mug. T440p are nice for it since they are not thin and they have a CPU socket, which mean we can change it since it is not soldered on the motherboard

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

Grilled my laptop last week by accidentally throwing by coffee mug on it 😔 So it is time to find a new one !

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

And the costs will be quite low since I’m going to buy almost everything on second hand market
- The upgradable side is quite a pleasant game for the EE engineer I am, I hope I don’t screw everything
- Lastly, but not to show my self, I’m trying to reduce my environmental impact

[Mickey @HackingThings]

Yeah, let me just scrape the SOC to expose JTAG pads on the package…

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

Looks promising !

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

First test !

Foggy start to the day. 🌍📡🛰🔴

@climatecouncil @AusConservation "Only a few", I just did the calc and it needs nearly 900 wind turbines to replace a common french nuclear power plant. It is huge, it requires to build 12 offshore wind farms like St Nazaire one. Keep in mind that Australia still relies heavily on coal, which is a disaster.

Got some problems with expression of losses in a transmission line. Pozar gives an empirical equation for transmission line but the roughness delta is in RMS (Rq). I need to get it in arithmetical roughness (Ra)

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

I mean I'm trying to qualify tge losses on a simple straight waveguide. But the S params before the first mode are terrible, also the same after the second mode.

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

Struggling with SSLT calibration for a VNA, I just have a custom cal kit but the results are not good for me.

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

My bad, I'm just an absolute dumb. My HFSS project was set in Terminal mode and not in Driven mode.

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

Wtf why Ansys HFSS R2 has changed the waveport configuration ? I'm struggling to simulate a simple waveguide nothing more 😓

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

Lastly, I really need to get my radio ham license this year, it'll not be easy, I should look if there is a local ham club in my city

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

And it is now very clear that I'm beginning a PhD in a few months, the lab is nice and the team very comprehensive

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

I recently got the opportunity to use big VNAs (2 / 4 ports, up to 40GHz) , not so easy to use but I'm trying to control these with pyVISA to get the data. I hope it will work

[Gydius Lab @GydiusLab]

Yesterday, I got the opportunity to visit a FabLab near my workplace. I think I’ve finally found a place where I’ll spend a lot of time ! Everything looks neat and people seemed to be nice
