@IanSJohnston If that is 2 core 20AWG with a braid screen, I think have a fair bit of that on a drum. Used for avionics. Tucked away in a cupboard I think. Not used it for ages.

@fesshole At a funeral service a friend told me at the end of a eulogy the speaker paused, then said “his contribution to the home office and security of the nation will never be known in our lifetime”. Then left. Much discussion over that followed.

@eevblog Dune sandworm starter kit?
In which case you’re going to need a bigger bucket.

Dear @Microsoft365 @Microsoft how for the love of god can you permanently disable the popup “copilot chat” in office apps. Your help links to a setting to untick, which isn’t there.
It’s like Mr Clippy all over again.
Just want to turn it all off.
Permanently.

@eevblog They are fun, aren’t they. I can dig out one I’ve filled out before if it would help.

@eevblog @JaycarAU Good you have physical stores you can visit for stuff. I have a 70 drive to a trade counter from Cambridge in the UK. Assuming they have any stock.

@eevblog I was told masts “breathe”, as the number of users per mast increases they area covered reduces to manage the load. This tries to hand off users to other masts. Guess your local area has high usage at the moment.

@GrandPrixDiary Damn you. I now have an urge to go score some.

Well the latest Fusion 360 update is a train wreck. Anything I edit, I crashes. Naturally, you can't go back to an older version, as it blocks you from opening files.

Magic.

@Rockstarscars I wonder if BMW would come out of that happened to my BMW. The only small problem is it turns 19 this year…

@eevblog Probably available as a direct download.

@eevblog Just quit the keyboard setup. The Yubikey identifies as a keyboard to the OS wants to identify the language and type. Just ignore it.

@IanSJohnston @eevblog Apart from trips to London to visit a client or a site, trains don’t really factor in my business travel. For be fair though, my commute is ~30s from house to office. Faster if it’s raining.

@oz1lqo @DanielBogdanoff I’m afraid you need to part with two organs. One for the scope. The other for the software options. The functionality is in there already, just locked behind a paywall.

@IanSJohnston @eevblog Given the distances involved HS rail gives virtually no tangible benefit, maybe 15 mins saving?
Crazy project.

@eevblog Does it override state EPA protections?

[Jeremy Curtis @rjcurtis]

@eevblog Is there any AC in there? Could be toasty in the summer.

[Jeremy Curtis @rjcurtis]

@eevblog Wait until you have a power supply on test, then roll your chair over some bubble wrap on the floor. Got me few times that.
