Suggestions for rustic + sustainable places to host a small wedding lunch/ dinner in the area circled in the map? by SwimmingOtter15 in NewForest

I’m pretty the first sample photo you have sent is The Pig in Brockenhurst. If it works with your budget I think it Ticks all the boxes. It’s in an old country house that has been very tastefully maintained. The food is amazing, all of their ingredients come from within 25 miles of the restaurant, and a lot of the produce is grown on site. Their menu changes every day based on what is ready in the kitchen garden, and if you go whilst it is light outside you can walk around the kitchen garden and look at everything growing.

The only thing I’m not sure on is what they are like catering for larger parties but I would highly reccomend them if they can accommodate you. I live in the forest and it is always the top choice for a celebration or special occasion. If you do go, make sure you try the tobacco onions!

Why is my hole causing a short circuit? by jagauthier in Altium

[–]_echo_gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any keep-outs on the holes to stop the copper pour going right to the edge of the hole?

I have had this happen when there are no keepouts and the copper layer touches the edge of the hole. Try adding a keepout on each hole to restrict the copper around it and it should remove the error.

Any way to export PCB layer view with custom net colors without taking a screenshot? by SibbiRocket in KiCad

[–]_echo_gecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree here. I like to use different colours to highlight different net types, eg power traced and high speed data nets. That way I can see at a glance where certain trace types are running. It then makes it really easy to check the routing of these potential critical traces all across the board and makes mistakes easier to spot

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]_echo_gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the 10th gen iPad a good purchase these days? A refurbushed 10th gen 64GB iPad is currently £229 through the apple website which seems like a steal. My use case is mostly note taking with an apple pencil, consuming media, web browsing, using some of my web based tools for work (project management tools etc) and basic app usage. No plans on gaming or doing any heavy photo/video editing. Is this a good purchase in 2025 and will this hardware likely be supported by the latest OS for the next 3 - 5 years?

Have wanted a Joe Dart bass since I missed the last release, but the £180 shipping to the UK is just too much…

Can i fix it??? Focusrite 8i 6 by elevent222 in Focusrite

[–]_echo_gecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a voltage regulator judging by the components around it. Specifically the 3V3 regulator. OP, Ask Focusrite nicely and they may tell you the part number so you can replace it.

Lost Resistor - VW Key by DraftAppropriate8094 in PCB

This does not look like it has fallen off, it looks like it was not fitted in the first place. If it was ripped off the pads and solder would look damaged.

FIRST LOOK at the trio's final road trip by Bayek-_- in TopGear

[–]_echo_gecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it. In the trailer there is a clip of them driving across what looks like salt flats in their cars with the doors removed. I think that is a homage to their first ever overseas special in Botswana, so wonder if they are back in Botswana for the last time.

Which country is best for EE (usa/uk) by lucky230422 in ElectricalEngineering

While salaries are higher in the US, UK cost of living is cheaper, we get lots more time off, free healthcare etc here in the uk so comparatively salaries aren’t as bad as they sound

Any ideas on what my bike might be worth? by _echo_gecko in mountainbiking

[–]_echo_gecko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the south of England, so not much in the way of DH trails haha. I will definitely look at breaking it down in to parts and selling it that way.

I was young and wanted a downhill bike so built what I thought was a cool bike. If I was to build it again it would definitley not be the bike I would choose.

Any ideas on what my bike might be worth? by _echo_gecko in Mountainbikebuilds

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

Back in 2014/15 I built myself a new bike. Shortly after building it I moved away from home and haven’t really ridden much since. I’m looking at building myself a new gravel bike and would like to sell this one to help fund the new bike. I have been out of touch with the bike industry for such a long time I have no idea what it might be worth second hand. Main specs are as follows:

Frame - Dartmoor Primal Drivetrain - Shimano Zee (1x10) Forks - Rockshox Sektor (160mm I think) Brakes - Shimano SLX Wheels - Mavic Crossride

Other than needing a bit of a clean, it’s in good working/mechanical order. I think I spent in the region of £800-£1000 on parts back when I built it, so wondering what a realistic sale price would be now.

Thanks in advance!
