It’s still the same party in charge that decided to use tanks to run over student protesters. China only seems more stable right now because protesters would have all been rounded up into the re-education camps a long time ago.

“Reasonable” is not the word I’d use. “Predictable” is more apt in my opinion.

I’m guessing that reasoning is why he’s been trying to get our economic relationship with China back to what is was before Trump’s first term. It’s a shitty choice to have to make, but when the US is by far your biggest trading partner, you have to diversify where you can.

The vast majority didn’t fight Trump’s return. The vast majority still aren’t fighting.

I’m guessing that the Poles didn’t give a fuck about German feelings after WWII, and no one gives a fuck about your feelings now. Until something more than hand wringing on the internet is done, expect the negativity to continue.

Sorry, but that argument doesn’t hold water anymore. We gave you guys the benefit of the doubt for his first term, but this time you knew exactly what you were getting, and you allowed him back anyway. 32% of the eligibile population voting for him is not just some small minority.

Depends on what end of the corporate world you are working in. I do industrial automation, and there’s no way you are getting out of having a Windows VM at the very least.

Depends on your cooking and shopping habits I guess. I rarely thaw meat. I rarely eat frozen meals, and when I do, they are usually the type that can be prepared in the oven. My toaster oven is the device that gets 90% of the use. My microwave can go weeks at a time without being used.

My home server has a 12 year old cpu, and that bad boy just keeps chugging along running 24/7.

I feel like I’m the only one that remembers that incognito mode was only ever about keeping your browsing history private on the local machine, not anonymizing all your internet traffic.

I switched from bash to zsh a while ago, mostly just for shits and giggles. I really can’t see any reason to form a strong opinion on it one way or the other.

And what could Russia possibly do to stop the US from doing whatever they want in Venezuela?

I feel like when non-golfers hear “golf course”, they are always picturing the hyper-exclusive, PGA level courses that are the domain of rich douchebags, and assuming that all courses are like that. In reality, there’s way more cheap 9 hole courses where you can play half a round for $20.

It’s like you learned all the words, without managing to learn a single one of the meanings. Oh well. I’m sure you’ll get there some day.

I’m wondering if they got France and Germany mixed up. I don’t remember all the French I was taught growing up, but it didn’t sound right. So I googled it and got “droigts” and “orteils” for “fingers” and “toes”.

Isn’t privateering still done by a privately owned ship? Pretty sure when government vessels do it, it is just a blockade/sanctions enforcement/etc, until someone declares war about it.

You lost me at the third step there. I’m not disabling my adblocker for anyone.

To answer your question anyway, raspberry Pi made the rp2040 chip, which is a microcontroller similar to the esp, instead of a full fat computer SOC

Many. But there too, I’m seeing many people move to VScode + platformio. I’m not saying Arduino is already dead, I’m just saying that the alternatives were already gaining ground.

Maybe it’s just what I’ve been noticing, but I feel like Arduino was already losing its share of the hobbyist market. The plethora of small, cheap esp32 devices have already been taking Arduino’s place.

Still cheaper than moving my main computer to DDR5
