    True! They are def easier to clean. I did hate pulling off the knobs to wipe things down on my halogen electric cooktop. Thing that bugs me is that induction is an objectively superior technology, and shit interfaces stand in the way of most intuitively experiencing that. You can see this...

    This x 1000! Thank you, Patrick. :) Generally, the closer to the societal default ones identity is, the less they recognize the need for these sorts of things. Nine times out of ten, it's not malicious; you've explained the underlying mechanism for the lack of recognition perfectly. I really...

    I've had it...

    I bought an induction cook top. Not a SINGLE cooktop had proper dials. They were all touch screen. I found one that has a somewhat dialesque interface, a Samsung with a barely functional magnetic dial. There are induction ranges that have dials, but my kitchen isn't made for that, so I was...

    I never demanded any protection. And I'm not demanding this change be made, I'm suggesting. Demanding has a negative connotation; it isn't charitable to use negative connotations when debating. I was directed to post my suggestion here by someone on the board when I suggest this change via DM...

    Just thought of one thing. The blue/red indicator should also have blinking/steady states for people with colour vision disabilities. Like, blinks while blue, and goes solid when red. I've employed some very important industrial design principles here. The lights are good because at a glance...

    Texas Instruments discontinuing a lot of IC's

    AHHHH! I'm not smart enough to know what "and more" means. Does anyone have a list of part numbers for chips that are needed for these reloaded projects that aren't already found on the donor logic board? :eek::eek::eek:

    ... with rubbish soldering options in the prosumer space. Hakko used to be great, but they're leaning so hard into digital UI the wrong way - with buttons, not dials! Louis Rossman hilariously comments they have an "80s alarm clock approach" to setting temperature. And it's true. Their hot air...

    Asking for a change to the CoC to reflect more recently identified marginalized groups doesn't have to be viewed through a political lens. It very much is a Bill & Ted "be awesome to each other" change that can be made so that new trans/enby people joining see that they ALSO matter in addition...

    Immutable Characteristic: Neurodiversity/Neurodivergence

    That's why I mentioned it's satire. It's a form of illustrating what many in our community feel like because we're often pathologized relative to this neurotypical society. Identity matters, whether we like it or not. This is also why I didn't post a link, but rather invited people to DM me if...

    Immutable Characteristic: Neurodiversity/Neurodivergence

    You don't have to disclose group membership to anyone. That is a personal choice. But if we are going to list protected classes in a CoC, then we need to keep it up to date. As to your slippery slope argument - it's not as if new protected classes emerge every day. It takes decades sometimes...

    That hunt is something else! I'm not even looking for a functional one! Just a complete one. Imma do a reloaded build, and only need the case for a 3D scan for an industrial case design. But these listings on eBay are like... out of pocket expensive! Someone needs to check these sellers'...

    Thanks for your thoughts on my request. And if something in my reply comes across with an upset or disrespectful tone, it's because words are only a small part of communication. In the absense of facial expression and vocal tone, I want to let you know I'm responding with an understanding and...

    I'm looking at such an option for a van life friend. How has the latency been with VZW?

    Tools and Techniques

    Last one (for now... haha) A tools & techniques section to the forums and Discord server would be pretty handy, I think. Coming from automotive hobby life, I know tools are a HUGE part of conversations. People new to the hobby benefit disproportionately from such conversations. Even cooler, new...

    Immutable Characteristic: Neurodiversity/Neurodivergence

    Hi again! I'm asking that "neurodiversity/neurodivergence" be added to the anti-discrimination section of the CoC. Many in the neurodivergent community, including myself, do not see our personalities/behaviours as disabilities, but differences. Unfortunately, we live in a world where many...

    Greetings all, I'm asking that "gender identity", "gender expression" and "sex" be added the to anti-discrimination section of the CoC. These are all distinct immutable characteristics that, in combination with the already listed "sexual orientation" and "gender", depict the 5 areas of...

    Carrera040 Clone Board?

    Is no hurry. I don't have my friggin' SE/30 yet. But I also don't quite have the hang of finding reasonably sellers, so I'm stuck with eBay gougers and dummy bidders that drive prices way beyond the actual values of things. And obvi not gonna pay those amounts.
