I have two laser heads, a 405nm 500mW and 450nm at 10W laser. I don’t think either of them are suitable for burning away copper but I can try that. I believe to burn away copper you need a pulsed YAG laser or something like that.

I know but where’s the fun in that? I’ve ordered from JLCPCB a few times but it is a hell of a lot more satisfying when I’ve made the whole PCB myself.

Hmm. I’ve gotten to the point where I used my CNC for the chemical etching process as well. Instead of fumbling with toner transfer I use spraypaint and a laser engraver as etch resist. It is way more reliable.

As for ferric chloride, indeed you cannot see your circuit board but it is possible to store this for long. Solutions like HCl + H2O2 don’t last very long and I only do PCB making sporadically.

Guest House Paradiso.

When you’re standing in the shower and you feel a surge of power.

Hex isn’t much better in my experience. Torx is great though.

Ah yes I did it like that before. At home it’s not a problem since my NAS is always connected but taking my laptop outside would be problematic unless I had the VPN enabled.

Ask Ea-Nasir.

The worst annoyances of Linux are nothing compared to basic use of Windows or MacOS.

I’ve been using AutoFS and that’s no longer an issue for me. How did you mount the NAS?

Crazy. In the Netherlands the employer is not even allowed to ask what disease you have. If they want to know if your sick leave is legit they have to get an independent doctor involved.

Yes it’s easy to abuse the system but hear me out, what if, the employer is nice to it’s employees? They’d be unlikely to abuse sick leave.

It would be very wasteful to get rid of my current laptop to replace it with a Framework.

They’re pretty much all great games. I remember joking with friends about God of War back in the day that Kratos would find other pantheons to murder after finishing the Greek one.

God damnit, ID software is hit as well. Right when the DLC for Doom TDA is being released. I was really looking forward to it and really do not want to spend money on this company anymore.

I don’t understand why an AI would make grammatical errors. Isn’t that the one thing they’re supposed to be good at?

Well made!

I’ve lost the bleeps, I’ve lost the sweeps and I’ve lost the creeps!

I wonder if Howtobasic also checks eggs in the supermarket.

I got one specifically for that reason. I don’t even use my consoles anymore.

That whole tipping culture needs to go. It’s infecting parts of Europe as well. It’s a disease.
