I'm looking if my CS:GO is any better with a 144hz screen I'm borrowing from my BF. XD I have a 240Hz screen which I hardly ever use for game, because I am a coach gamer for life and a 24" screen just does not work for that. :D Hahahaha! I love couch gaming. I played Stray on the couch. Steam in ho...

I made a rack mount panel for my inverter. It's gonna cost less than R500 to make it.

Thats so cool. Where are you getting it cut?

Place my work uses to get enclosures cut.

XD That was a friggen challenge. First I tried a Windows XP VM. Then I tried DOSBOX. Then I tried installing Windows XP on the machine but it didn't have Sata drivers. So I downloaded a freedos bootable USB ISO, which worked. What a process... It might be time to upgrade your radios xD I have bette...

I finally managed to program that 2 way radio! All it took was borrowing a DOS computer from work and some help from Wolfie-DMX Where on earth did you get a DOS computer?

I'm enjoying Olivier Orands stuff recently.

Must be, those things can reak havoc on electronics that don't have a good filter, but is quite cheap and easy to just plug in and start using. They're fine unless you try and use them on something with an induction motor like a fridge or a fan. Sad thing is most things we use runs on DC So we conv...

Fair enough.
I guess that's why those horrible mecer battery box square wave doohickeys are so popular?

I actually also have quite the inverter/power bank, an ecoflow delta 1800, bought it just before the stage 6 loadshedding hit last year, been working amazing, although a bit loud. Also wired it up to my db board. I just feel it is a waste to power an entire computer on a limted resource, especially...

Sounds awesome! You drew up the cupbourds in CAD? RTS gamses are awesome! My boyfriend is unfortunatly not fond of them so I don't play often. I used Onshape, the usual CAD software like solidworks/autodesk is way too expensive ;_; I use to play Red Alert 2 like crazy as a kid. Never got to good at...

Hi there Somnia! Haha! IT Does seem to be the job most furries are in. What ganmes do you play? And what projects are you working on? Same dude. Currently into Cities Skyline 2, really like RTS type games, also tried Cocoon, but for some reason it has no sound on my pc. Also finished up Cyberpunk 2...

Ooooh! Home lab? I'm running mine on a Pi precariously perched on my inverter next to my mikrotik. Been thinking of putting it on my server that runs jellyfin and some other software. But it's struggling just running that some times. Poor little HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 Jip, my homelab compris...

I've made a few boards for myself with sensors and stuff. I enjoy playing with Home Automation. ^^ I also really enjoy tinkering with home automation, but my creativity is a bit lacking on how to use it, so I never really get into it. If I had a R5 for everytime I installed home assistant on a vm o...

Same dude.

I was trying to make a battery fuel guage for home assistant, and oh my god. The example code didn't even compile. And nowhere in the datasheet it gave me the actual address to the I2C. I had to scan the port and find it that way. And the registers didn't have any descriptions. Ah home assistant, t...

Ah! Makes sense. So we can agree that manufacturers of such devices do not know how to write a damn datasheet? Like dude. I don't need 200 pages on how to cool your chip. Just tell me what to send the chip and what to expect back. I don't have time to read all 300 pages of your datasheet to find th...

You also work in the electronics industry? Software developent actually, in the supply chain sector. So I sometimes have to work directly with hardware, like electronic scales, remote probes, etc. Ah! Makes sense. So we can agree that manufacturers of such devices do not know how to write a damn da...

Been reading the SARL Handbook to prepare for the HAM exam next year. XD

Oh! Sweet! We do LORA stuff at work some times. It's an super old iCom. I had to make a bootable DOS USB just to get the software to run. But it's not responding to the commands. It's a OOOOLD clone of a makerbot X2. But it's motherboard died so I rebuilt it with RAMPS and Arduino Ah, the age old, ...

The CPU Roaster 5000? :P Looking forward to the weekend. Gonna try getting my radio programmed. And my 3D printer tuned. I installed Klipper the other day but had a wedding and just havent had time to finish setting it up XD Jip, but it doesn't seem to be roasting my ryzen 7600X too bad, though I h...

If it was to be accurate, they'd have called it Cretaceous Park

I'd love one of those so much!

I started listening to podcasts actually.
I'm listening to a series "Everything wrong with the Bible" by friendly atheist.

Also been listening to Steven Frys seven deadly sins
