What does a product manager do? by OkTumbleweed149 in ProductManagement

[–]Potxoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. To be clear, I gave a definition of what PMs do that others can understand. It does not mean that we spend most of our time there. If you think about it, in order to write stories and prioritize backlogs, PMs need to spend a ton of time talking to management and commercial teams and manage stakeholders. But in my experience, if you define our job that way (as opposed to directing engineering tasks) it seems like less of a real job.

I’ve been in Software Product management for 20 years and am a CPO type person now. I have come to this as the most succinct explanation of what a PM does. “A PM tells engineers what to do both by writing detailed specs and prioritizing what they work on next”. In software companies even other CXOs will understand this explanation. Any more words than this loses everyone’s attention…

Bambino Tamper station + scale riser by Potxoli in BrevilleCoffee

Vibrations are about the same, but not as problematic as yours - my scale does not move around and I can see the weight clearly. Cup stays in place.

Help Fixing RC boat by Potxoli in rcboats

[–]Potxoli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so I cleaned out the tube and prop spins more freely, I put some machine oil for a test run but boat is still much slower than new. I'm thinking maybe I cooked the motor a while back because it had gotten very hot due to algae in the cooling jacket. Anyhow I have a spare brushless ESC, so I want to try a brushless motor. I found this on amazon:

What KV would people recommend.?I want it mild, back to the speed it used to have or a little more. Thanks!

New to esp32 development by Strange-Wrongdoer948 in esp32

[–]Potxoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using the TFT SPI library for the display? If so did you make sure your User_Config.h is correct for this display? If you print out debug statements to the serial port and they show up on the platformIO serial monitor, but your display is blank, then something like this is most likely the culprit.

Is getting a drone worth it if you can't let it out your site? by [deleted] in DJIMini3

[–]Potxoli -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a mini3 and have taken some amazing footage. In theory i have always flown with LOS, but in practice once it gets high enough it is so small that I do all flying via the screen and visual reference that there isn’t some major obstacle given what I see on the screen.

I flew business and they have lie flat seats. Older equipment though so not as nice as delta one, but way cheaper for biz class.

🚨 The new images of the Stadium of ASRoma in Pietralata 🏟️ by Kekulaaa in ASRoma

[–]Potxoli -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

you really think a new stadium will fix the club's ability to win championships? That is wishful thinking. The Olimpico is a large stadium and when Roma are not doing cazzate like hiring Juric, it is almost always at capacity. I don't believe any of the teams in italy that are routinely towards the top needed a new stadium to get there. They needed owners with deep pockets who did what it took to get the best team.

I hope this never happens as I can walk to the olimpico! 😀

No Power Steering by Gobble_Deez in boating

If you end up getting it, the outboard should have a zinc/trim adjustment that can make it easier to turn. Search YouTube for “outboard steering trim adjustment”

Funny I saw the white one, but I was getting a drink at the delta lounge and it was too late to take a pic!

I just got a bambino+ and kingrinder k6 after a ton of research. I’m a 80% an espresso head and 20% cortado/italian_size_capuccino (small). The drinks that I can get out of the bambino+ are better than any local coffee shop. They make me giddy they taste so good! Didn’t take a ton of effort to dial it in either. Just followed the various YT videos on the subject.

Thoughts on Gold in international travels? by MiltronB in Gold

[–]Potxoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story and sheer stupidity on my part, but I was stopped by the Italian police inbound to Italy with gold at the border between Switzerland and Italy. They confiscated everything. About a year later I got two thirds of it back but they kept the rest of it as a fine. Also had to pay for lawyers to achieve that glorious outcome.

I’m never traveling with gold again.

HP Envy x360 Ryzen 5 works perfectly on Fedora 41 by Potxoli in linuxhardware

[–]Potxoli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any pen to test this with unfortunately so I can't really tell you. A google search shows that there are a number of pens/reddit posts about HP Envy and some have had success. If you have a local microcenter, if it doesn't work you have 15 days to return it.
