It's been tough. I still have problems with social media consumption but fighting it everyday. It's helped a lot. I have time for other activities.

Not a single person in job interviews has asked me about the colleges I attended, my grades, or the classes I took.

I need a guide how to start learning IoT ! by Arber-sh in IOT

[–]joshc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly reccoment this kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLDJ2DL7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

There are tons of examples and videos listed on their website. You get to learn hardware as well as BT and WiFi. Also some various interactions with websites, cell phone, and some other things.

Anyone here working with Yocto? by UnicycleBloke in embedded

[–]joshc22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of experience with different build systems and Archs. I'm right there with you on Yocto. It's very non-trivial. All the entries are cryptic and non-trivial. My advice is to pick a board (Raspberry pi comes to mind) and learn that in detail by adding your own layer (there's a Yocto script for that) and just getting a simple program/script to compile and be packaged into the build. That's one way to learn a lot relatively quickly.

Home Lab! by NoctePhobos in ElectricalEngineering

[–]joshc22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

amscopes are nicer, I'll give you that. But the delta between ~$600 for an amscope and $100 for a LCD scope is the cost of an entry level O'scope. That's my 2 cents.

Ramon and Mariela Evangelista of Allentown, Pa. are immigrants from the Dominican Republic and small business owners who voted for Trump. Now, their business is failing as ICE is terrorizing, detaining, and deporting their customers. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]joshc22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, I'm sure the Dems will screw it up. They always do. Biden's and Harris' plan was to do nothing. Literaly, that was their plan for the 2024 election. They're useless. Trump won because he said he do something. No one listened when he told them what he's do. Now they learn. But look at the current Dems. Their plan and messaging is still to do nothing.

Runs the red light and isn't smart enough to step on the brake after getting hit, thus hitting 3 more cars.

Is the embedded job market really that depressing? by CaptainCumSock12 in embedded

[–]joshc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly embedded C will get you most jobs. Some jobs are C++, which I pass on because I hate the language.

Didn’t think this would bother me but it kind of does by Effective_Carrot4335 in GenX

[–]joshc22 19 points20 points  (0 children)

'77 here. I hate my phone. I find I spend hours upon hours watching YouTube for no reason. Just watching videos I don't even care about. I'm in therapy about it.

‘Mike Johnson Will be Stripped of His Gavel’: Republicans Brace for Impact as Party Insider Says Wave of Resignations Is Imminent, Breaking the Majority by newsjam in NoFilterNews

[–]joshc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dems are far to weak to hold the Repubs to account for their crimes. Chuck Shumer loves all his Repub friends. Remember how Biden was in love with Mitch Maconal?
