Maybe Thriftbooks? They do offer shipping to Canada but it’s not always cheap.

I can’t change the thickness. I might try cross hatching the ground plane (suggested in the SE) and seeing how that affects the impedance as well.

It’s a USB adapter for a dock. It has a nonstandard pinout, so I made an adapter for it.

I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.

There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.

What helped me understand QM was spending four years getting a degree in physics then never using it again.

If you have a Dremel, I bet you could take out the center bit and use a regular slotted screwdriver.

Yeah in the fall, it’s the only dying-looking tree in an evergreen forest

It shows the space weather forecast. I think it was G4 last night.

After it started getting dark. It was very vivid around 10:30ish to 11:30 or so. I went to sleep after that though, so it might’ve gotten brighter. I was checking periodically earlier but wasn’t seeing anything til it suddenly became visible.

Tbh least favorite conifer. Not even evergreen

I’m not sure, there was a ton of light pollution where I was at. It was all over the sky in every direction and moved around.

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

This is in Canada btw

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

I use it all the time to help simplify long excerpts, giving me an introductory gist of what something says.

You could write C or assembly and it would be compiled to something that would run on an embedded chip. They may or may not be running an RTOS.
