  4. I’ll run my channels and giveaways the way I want to…

    It seems like, especially lately, certain individuals and groups seem to think they have a say about my giveaway rules amd how I run my channels. Put simply, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SAY, and while I'm here, none of these chatters had anything to do with my community, my channels, Twitch affiliate or anything else for that matter. I couldn't care less about your opinions. X can be a cesspool sometimes, and its full of trouble makers, most of them live with mummy and daddy, its hilarious they […]

  5. A quotation from Baltasar Gracian

    There is no weakness without its admirer, so be not discomfited because your ways displease some, for they will not fail to be pleasing to others: nor let their approval of them make you vain, for still others will condemn them.
     
    [No hay defecto sin afecto, ni se ha de desconfiar porque no agraden las cosas a algunos, que no faltarán otros que las aprecien; ni aun el aplauso de estos le sea materia al desvanecimiento, que otros lo condenarán.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 101 (1647) [tr. Fischer (1937)]

  7. If that laptop doesn't have an RJ-45 [1] socket on it, it's not a business/enterprise unit. [2] Full stop.

    [1] Yes, technically 8P8C modular connector, but nobody calls it that.

    [2] That makes it a consumer-grade machine, and should be treated as having an expiry date as long as its 1-year warranty. Every day after that is a gift.

  9. I'm looking for #opinions from #electronics #hobbyists or professionals.

    When I'm using a #solderless #breadboard to prototype circuits, resistors can be frustrating. If you just keep re-using the same well-worn ones that look like a pretzel, you have to leave the leads long for the unknown next place you want to use them, and you can accidentally short something else against the leads.

    Over the years I've frequently thought "Someone must make #jumper wires with inline resistors so they're easy to reuse", but I've never seen them for sale. [1]

    So I made a bunch. And wow, it's labour-intensive to make them well. That explains why no-one's selling them.

    Would other people be interested in buying and using these? Anyone can make them, but a lot of people would rather use their limited #hobby time to make their projects, not make things they need to make their #projects.

    I've reduced the amount of time to make them and will keep trying, but I would have to charge at least US $30 for a pack of ten. There are ways to reduce it further, but they require a significant investment in equipment, so I'd have to be selling quite a few.

    I make them with good materials - silicone 26AWG #wire for flexibility, name-brand 1% metal film #resistors, total length 24cm.

    Would anyone want these?

    [1] Closest thing I've found is dfrobot.com/product-1438.html but they're rigid so you need to use an additional wire anyway if you're not connecting exactly that distance through clear space.
