ATmega328 microcontroller used in Ukrainian drones in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@OP your link doesn't discuss the 328 unless you scroll down past several articles by the same person.

Actual link to the article glossing over usage of the 328

Found halfway down the linked page:

“An ATmega328 microcontroller, voltage booster, MOSFETs - everything is standard,” says UAV Developer. “What is worth paying attention to - the [Ukrainians] are absolutely right on the path of electrifying ammunition.”

What are your strategies to not be late? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I plan my days backwards. If my appointment is at 13:00 tomorrow I check the travel timetables and determine the absolute latest I have to leave. From there, how long does it take to get ready? What time do I have to be awake in order to get ready? What time do I have to be asleep by in order to get a full night of rest? The anxiety and restlessness makes sure I stay on top of it.

...and a lot of weed to make sure I actually do fall asleep on time as one or two puffs too many puts me in the right spot to fall asleep quickly.

Saw it with my partner on Friday.

My review:

There was so much fan service that I thought it was a bad Tumblr fanfic and wish I had pirated it.

Fan service spoilers, general complaints, not in order

Andy the android. Seriously? How lazy.
Rook? Ash? Rook in Dutch is "smoke", give me a break! Also that CG face was abysmal! I've seen better deepfake videos.
How the hell does the Company find Nostromo in the middle of space after it blew up in all directions at an unknown location? Stuff keeps moving outward in space and space is infinite... To even figure out where it would be their physicists would have had to pinpoint the original site of the explosion, where the explosion took place on the ship, how much outward force the explosion exerted on the ship, and the exact date and time of the explosion. In the middle of fucking space.
The mouse/rat giving "birth" was a terrible callback to 3 with the dog or cow, depending on the cut.
Trying to blow the Xeno out of a hole in glass... C'mon!
Humanoid birth (Alien 4) that looks like an Engineer (Prometheus), coming out of a human...
Xeno breathing down Rain's neck
Andy sounding like David when inserting the module
Andy and Rook continuing the terrible trope that every single android has referred to it as "the perfect organism"
Face huggers swimming, a bad callback to 4
Do NOT get me started on how convenient it was that the ship flew into the cargo bay when the pilot lost control
The cryosleep fluid makes no sense and retcons 2. If Ripley was out for as long as she was between 1 and 2, then how many canisters were on her EEV?!?! What about between 2 and 3?!
Rain stepping out of the lift with the gun was a shot for shot remake of 2
Andy crying when being left behind, a callback to David, unless hes one of the original David models with a new skin? Lazy writing either way
Stay away from her... BITCH 🤮
The acid kill retcons 4. One drop goes completely through the guy's leg, while in 4 it only burns the skin slightly.
The scene where Rain blew away the Xenos when gravity was off was a callback to 2 with the turrets in the tunnel, down to having several rounds left after they're all gone
Rain entering the mission in the ship's log at the end. Does she even have any formal training there?
Since when are planetary rings solid? And since when does a vessel the size of a large city turn into shredded cheese when scraping against a bunch of space ice?
Flashing runway lights, a direct callback to all of the other ones

hidden content

There's more but these are enough to get the point across. I think it would have been a better film if it tried to be its own film and not reference every single iconic scene from the previous installations. At least they kept the technology and set painting consistent this time, unlike Prometheus...

The answer has got to be helix ;)

[Solved] [Slackware] What's the best way to hide the preinstalled software you don't need from the KDE menu? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Piggybacking onto this, MenuLibre also works and the "hide from menus" setting does exactly that if a GUI is preferable. I used it to hide a bunch of VSTs a while back.

How to respond to the "But what about the farmers?" argument? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Farmers are responsible for plenty of emissions. We dealt with this behaviour here in The Netherlands for a while.

Controversial opinion

I was on their side with regards to the lack of transition planning until they started setting things on fire and blocking supermarkets and emergency services. Now they can go get fucked and fall in line with the rest of us.
