@npub1fuh…3kut *squints* 256… threads? Go on, tell us how many threads per core

Today I needed to move 3 tape libraries, 3 servers, and 120TB worth of NAS. Tomorrow, I will be moving 2 tape libraries, because of stripped-out screw heads. There will be no negotiation: I’m bringing everything I could possibly need to undo those two screws, up to and including an angle grinder with a cut-off disc

@npub1fuh…3kut that’s why it’s called “rough-in” - if the customer won’t see it when finished, then anything goes

Balsamic vinegar? You mean Italian sweet and sour sauce?

Oh, remember those USB-rechargeable 9V batteries I bought a while ago?
Yeah, definitely DO NOT use them in a smoke alarm. They go from 9V to 0V as soon as the internal cell’s under-voltage cutoff is hit. A real 9V battery slowly loses voltage as it discharges, the smoke alarm monitors this and makes annoying beeping noises when the battery voltage goes under a threshold.
⚠️ Going from 9V straight to 0V gives you a dead smoke alarm with no warning ⚠️

@npub1rv4…ft5j … is that a USB header with V+ tied directly to the battery?

@npub1kr5…nwzy can confirm. Some of them have supporting legs on the shield that sucks up all the heat that go through holes on the board, and I’ve heard of one single socket that’s entirely through-hole connections - 20 or so pins

Influenza infection: 1 star, not generally recommended. The hallucinations and fever dreams are interesting, definitely don’t like my legs feeling like they’ve been beaten with a sack of doorknobs.

Ok that’s fucking it. I’m done with these “digital marketing” fuckheads infesting my email inbox which they scraped from LinkedIn.
Any unsolicited email from them will be responded to with a suggestion to stick their face in a woodchipper so they can finally be useful.
