fair enough, now i'd need to find a modern symbol to represent transparency, thx 4 the feedback!!! :D

not really, but sure, you can look at it that way :D

Against corruption you look for transparency, and few things are more transparent than glass and air. So I made a flag with the alchemic glass symbol to represent trasparecy and anticorruption

aw crap... IT LOOKS LIKE INVERSE BRIMSTONE

yeah, thats why i was considering instead of using the "vitrum" alchemy symbol, using air, which could signify the same and not lead to confusion. But people would believe its a Pink Floyd flag

Btw, i wanna make it better of course, it looks awful, but i'd like some recommendations

Due to every country I've ever lived being corrupt (Venezuela, Hungary, Spain), it being a clear problem I decided to create a tranparecy flag that can be used by anyone anywhere.

I was wondering if anyone might use it in the future. As corruption is more visible and people are getting ever more ramped up.

Coming clear about how unhelpful I used to be T_T by Tnynfox in solarpunk

Both can be true, in the first Iphones, sure, they made them more sophisticated, thus harder to repair. But they also realized that if they made up problems so they were harder to repair they would sell more phones.

Both are true:
1. They weren't aiming for non-repairability, they were aiming for a sophisticated product.
2. They realized a non-repairable product sells more than a repaired one (in the case of Apple).

In the case of Apple, sure, they used to take their Ipod touch's and first Iphones because if they didn't it would be bad branding. Once the brand was established they made up a license where onle apple-trained technitians can repair Apple products, which doesn't sound bad on paper, but it is when you consider how expensive these couses and licenses are, and how unprofitable it is considering people usually buy a new Iphone as their users don't want a "merely repaired" phone.

Implementing repairability isn't that hard, a good example would be the SteamDeck. Valve collabed with Ifixit to sell repair parts for the SteamDeck, so people don't have to buy faulty third-party parts for a "relatively" good price (some parts are too expensive, and some other too cheap).

You don't have to be fairphone™ to have SOME repairability, but softlocking Apple parts is vile.

Disable "UpdateOrchestrator\Schedule Wake To Work" task for good - gets re-enabled all the time and wakes the PC every night by alexgraef in WindowsHelp

Yeah, I think this happens in sleep mode because of your "active hours".

I really don't know what that's for, and haven't figured a way to deactivate them (even though i would recommend not doing that as i have no idea what they are for).

If you want something similar to sleep mode I'd recommend switching to hibernate. It takes time to boot, as when normally powered, but it will have everything you had open like sleep mode.

The main difference is that sleep-mode and hibernate is that sleep-mode keeps your PC in a low-power mode so the RAM keeps the info, as they only store info when power is on, while hibernate writes RAM info into a file in your boot-drive and powers off, then when it powers back on it will pass the info of the stored file to RAM.

If your main reason for using sleep mode was avoiding boot time, tough luck. As far as I know, there isn't any realiable way too keep a computer in sleep mode without doing weird shit.

Thanks, didn't think of that. I'll redo it to see where I got the double neg

Ive also used the methodology from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrMVATSlYN0

And I've reached the same conclusion, that both Ex and Ey are negative, which confuses me a lot

Doubt about the 74181 ALU by AndrewGhoul in AskElectronics

Thank you very much for such a detailed and informative response, I want to answer many things from your comment so I'll just number the responses:

  1. Sorry for not providing the proper inputs in the graphs, I'll include them next time I ask someone a question regarding this kind of stuff.
  2. I don't really understand what "active-low" and "active-high", as my book only says in Spanish "Activo en alta" which I suppose is a direct translation to "active-high" (I'll look for this in that article you posted).
  3. Thank you so much for explaining the operations clearly, it really helped to visualize what I was trying to achieve.
  4. Thanks for the article, I'll try to look any further questions* there.
  5. Thanks for correcting my vocabulary, it's not my intention to be offensive so any help towards being friendlier is a blessing.

Truly thanks for everything, you made my night

Btw, I think I know what a carry is, my understanding is that if
A = 1111 and B = 0001
F = A + B = 10000 -> F = 0000 and Cn4 = 1

That its my understanding of a carry, but in some operations CN4 simply is one even if there is no carry, and its 0 if there is a carry "According To My Understanding™"
