Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some common things people buy that you would never buy?
3·7 days agoI have been happy with my Garmin. It is functional without having to connect to anything, and data can be easily exported to a computer for more advanced processing. It is a handy GPS receiver that lets me monitor heart rate and log running metrics.

Ask Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•How do you organize your components library?English
1·8 days agoThanks! The problem I run into is that the bags end up taking up a lot more space than the components themselves. Yesterday I started testing printing a small label with the component’s code and sticking it into the reel.

1·8 days agoOoh, I like that idea for the larger components that don’t fit into the smaller binder. I bought some trading card sheets to test. Thanks :D

1·10 days agoI do have a wall with similar boxes. From the image, I am not sure if they are the same size. I just measured one of my small drawers and it is 14 cm x 5.5 cm x 5 cm. Since I have many different tiny components, I quickly ran out of space when I tried to give each component its own drawer.
But I think that I might be able to do a better job with these if I take everything out and start organizing again. I set the rules for how to place things before I started buying SMD components, and many of the through-hole components I can combine without problem. An improvement would be if I can find something like this but with many more and much smaller boxes.

1·10 days agoWhen you mix different components into one of the boxes, do you have a system to label them? Or are the components easy enough to recognize by looking at them?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology would you give to ancient people just to fuck with them?
1·1 month agoHopefully the English language is developed and Rick Astley gets to make his song before anyone figures it out!

19·1 month agoI would take a portable CD player, place a CD with Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up on it playing backwards, hook up solar panels, remove the ability to shut it on/off, and set it up a circuit that will:
- As the device solar charges, keep it off until some voltage threshold is exceeded
- Once the voltage is high enough, start a random timer (8 - 100 hours), so that it is not immediately obvious that the sun activated the device
- When the timer ends, turn the music on on repeat mode
- Sometimes turn the music off at random, and then turn it on again at random after a long delay, so that in some cases you can have turn ‘ON’ events without the device being exposed to the sun
- When the voltage drops below a low threshold, turn the device off until it is charged again

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s a big mistake you made in another language?
11·2 months agoI speak spanish natively and at during uni I would hang out with a group of Brazillian friends. I would speak a mixture of portuguese and spanish with them.
The mom of one of these friends made a Brazilian dish for us (Feijoada) and asked me how it was as it was the first time I tried it. I answered that the dish as ‘exquisito’, which in Spanish means delicious (similar ‘exquisite’). She seemed somewhat disappointed and upset by my response so I probed a little and found out that ‘esquisito’ in Portuguese actually means ‘weird’. She thought I was calling her dish weird tasting. I found quickly enough to clarify, but I did feel bad about making her fell that way… She was very excited about sharing her cooking and she thought I called it weird.

18·2 months agoIt’s spider season! That’s very normal in September/October. At least in the Netherlands but I imagine it’s similar in the UK.
I didn’t know about Foxes. I very rarely see them.

Wholesome@reddthat.com•What do you all think if a Christmas appeal?
10·2 months agoI’d be happy to contribute to a fedi-organized charity!
‘Christmas’ can create a bit of a split as there is a wide range of opinions on it, so you could also consider framing it differently if you are not attached to the Christian tradition. For me, I’m OK, Christmas or otherwise 😁
If fundraising you may want to put some effort in providing options that preserve anonymity considering that Lemmy has a large demographic of privacy-conscious individuals.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you buy a Smart Glass in the foreseeable future?
5·2 months agoThe use-cases that I see advertised are not things that I do in my day-to-day. I usually place my phone on a drawer or leave it in my backpack - I definitely don’t want it on my face.
So, to me, smart glasses feel like an uncomfortable gimmick at this point. Maybe there is something amazing about them that has not yet clicked with me, but for the time being I don’t see me buying one of these for the foreseeable future.














By hand. We are only two people, and we usually clean after we cook/eat. When one is cleaning only 2 plates + a pot/pan at a time, it is easy to use little water. Spray of soap, metal scrub, sponge scrub, and then turn the tap on to rinse for a few seconds. Utensils get individually scrubbed and then all rinsed together for a few seconds.
Maybe when we have kids a dish washer will make sense.
