I'm new here, and I've been calling it "go-dot". What's the correct pronunciation?

Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.

I had to get a new battery for my OP6T after using it for over 5 years - exclusively charging it using the fast charger. I'm sure that I can get another 3 years out of this phone, at the very least.

The battery + replacement service fee was around 40 USD.

I don't expect much more from the battery TBH.

The ads come at different entry and exit points for every user.

They're not referring to the YouTube ads, but the "let's take a minute to talk about today's sponsor nordvpn that I used on my trip to Antarctica." This is a part of the video file itself, and it starts and ends at the same time for all users.

At what point do you think it's okay to punch a nazi?

I just checked out fWallet and it doesn't support importing random PDFs so that's a huge downside to me since a lot of events I attend only send a PDF with barcodes/QR codes.

Okay, I'm convinced. 😂

How are China's stringent lockdowns explained in this conspiracy theory? Also, where do I sign up as a member?

Awesome, thanks!

Where does something like "use a DC motor to build a tiny little fan" stand, in terms of safety?

Thanks, fire safety concerns have definitely played a major role in why I haven't actually started building stuff. I'll keep this in mind.

 

Background: I took some 100 and 200-level courses on electronics in college over a decade ago. I still remember some stuff (Ohm's law, Kirchoff's law), and I can recognise the basic parts in a circuit diagram.

I am also happy to pick up a beginner friendly text book and go through the theory by myself, if there are any recommendations.

However, I've never even held a soldering gun. I am a blank slate when it comes to any practical applications. I get overwhelmed trying to figure out what kit to order on Amazon.

So, is there a course/tutorial you'd recommend for learning the hands on parts of it? I'd prefer as much handholding as possible. Ex -- if someone sells all the components to finish the projects in the course that would be the course I pick.

 

People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I've noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn't that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn't be much stopping them from raising prices even more.

 

I am currently logged into my account on lemmy.world. I'd like to view the home page of literature.cafe (or any other instance), view all the communities there etc.

I could just tap on the instance name, or even add instances that I wasn't signed in to on liftoff which no longer works.

Is there a way to do this on voyager?
