TSMC

edit: downvote all you want, the fundamental circuit level design is not in question here… it’s how you make the damn thing and TSMC can do it better. intel talks a big game yet continues to fail on delivering any of it. i’ll believe half of what they say when i see it… and it helps that good ol’ uncle sam is helping them out, they’re gonna need it.

edit: also 17 FUCKING years ago… GD!

hard to say for sure, but U109 and U208 could be UART into those Cisco baseband or radio chips. one placement for the 2.4 GHz (G) and 5 GHz (A), respectively. would be interesting to probe around there and see if you get a serial interface to it… obviously for extra credit ;-)

you flux the fluxing flux out of it

not if you want to make it back to your car at the end of the day ;-)

i know this is for the lols, but you’d be surprised how often stuff like this happens… bodge wires and dead bugging it are much cheaper than re-spinning a board/IC. anything to get the boss off your back, just make sure to give your technicians a case of beer/beverage of choice for the extra effort fixing your fuck up.

didn’t Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they’re getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say… fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.

I’ll do YOU one better: WHY is @[email protected]?

it satisfies the borrow checker or else it gets the hose again

I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it’s what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

when you’re the OS, they let you do it. you can do anything.

it would have been perfection if they had done this last thursday (on 4/04), add another fail to the list.

i’m almost certain there’s a hentai like this

100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors… not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.

Haven’t looked up the station’s license to see how much power they could have been pushing, but if I were the “authorities”, I’d definely be checking local hospitals for records of anyone coming in with mild to severe [RF] burns. With [low frequency] AM stations, the tower itself is basically the other half of the antenna electrically… probably lit them up like a Christmas tree.

not surprised it was a Walgreens: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/retail/2022/07/21/walgreens-pharmacy-birth-control-condoms/10110827002/

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn’t stop to think if we should.

i can sort of understand at&t being at&t as they continue to piss hundreds of millions away on subpar investments while continuing to bitch about being poor and needing government handouts to make the boo-boos hurt less, but what does google have to gain from this? and i could have swore that at some point it was mentioned starlink is/was going to use google data centers as PoPs for their ground stations, but maybe i’m miss remembering…

prozac

though i’ll be honest, the several months of dialing-in the initial dosage were an absolute hell, but once it starts working… like hot damn, a whole new person. i can’t function without it, but everyone reacts differently to SSRIs… so YMMV and it’s definitely something to consult a physician about if you’re serious.
