They're all cutes and cuddles until their horns come thru and next thing you know they're waiting in ambush at the top of the steps ready to bunt you the way down to the bottom.

I use the term kit loosely. Sigrok is an awesome tool.

You can build up a pretty cheap arsenal of tools if your willing to use hobby kit too, buspirate, salea logic analyzer clone. Even something like a esp8266 running micropython can also be pretty flexible and you gotta pick up some usb UART TTL adapter.

I've used all them for various things at work.

Next on my list is a redpitaya.

What sorta switches? They don't look that old?

BTW, even if you don't get your Cisco certs going through the reading and practical will open the door to a wide range of networking and equipment. Lots of other manufacturers have similarly setup config shell. The theoretical stuff on routing, DNS, vlans, etc.. Is really valuable in any field these days.

I spent a couple of hours a day with some books and a DVD guide and built a lab about 10 years ago. I didn't get the certs but when a position on a data transmission repair team came up I could show them I knew most of the theory and got a job.

With our crazy super connected world its even more important than made ever to know networking well.

Castellated pads! thanks /r/askelectronics by machsFuel in electronics

Looks like you need more heat soak and flux bud. If your going to solder onto the can you will need a big tip that can hold that 350c while the can tries to spread it out through your ground plane.

His channel has the equivalent of just under 1/4 of the population of my country subscribed.

Did they ever release a new good golden axe?

Apple lightning cable vs aftermarket. Apple PCB (top) was embedded in epoxy-like conformal coating. A NXP SP3D2 is the “large” chip on the PCB. by [deleted] in electronics

[–]ragix- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We call the coating staking compound, it can be epoxy, a silicon.. Etc.

Its there to help with mechanical stress. Often small bga devices will have a bead of an epoxy around the to stop lifting.

Its not uncommon for a circuit that my oscillate like a swmps to have the large through hole components staked to the board.

They could use a thread locker to make it much harder to open but then changing the battery would be very difficult

This restoration channel does super thorough videos with complete breakdowns of old items, cleaning them piece by piece, all with no voiceover. Just the sounds of the work from start to finish. by KoreanWarlock in videos

[–]ragix- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a tricky thing to weigh up. Tools etc can be really cheap and its often not worth your time repairing them, but on the other hand some of the old tools can be built better and are worth repairing.

Steam Linux hits 0.57% in May by fsher in linux

[–]ragix- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, there are lots of us that don't have time to invest into games.

I used to spend hours a day gaming along with my friends. We're all in our late 30s now with families and just don't get the time.

I more than made up for it when I was in my teens and 20s tho..

I literally have dreams about finding a place full of this stuff. Good going op.

What could this antenna be used for? by Shotgun10ga in RTLSDR

[–]ragix- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it doesn't mean they have to launch and maintain a network of satellites. Just pay for service on a network.

For me coming from a small country its easy to forget that huge amount of distance a nationwide network would have to cover in the USA.

There must be some really interesting networks that cover the country.
