Two things can be true

Yeah- that is a bit odd. Who and if not intentional, how?

Holy shit, that AI chat is too good.

Yep.

2mA minimum, and that’s just q current. It’s gonna be much higher when you’re actually using it for a clock.

I’m sure the casio’s main power sink is the display. I bet the refresh rate could be reduced for better battery life.

You can’t tell me that there isn’t a good reason that 0.001% resistors exist. Otherwise why sell them?

That costs more money.

People also don’t realize how incredibly stupid humans can be. I don’t mean that in a judgemental or moral kind of way, I mean that the educational system has failed a lot of people.

There’s some % of people that could use AI for every decision in their lives and the outcome would be the same or better.

That’s even more terrifying IMO.

This is where “universal basic income” comes into play

Kinda looks like larry david

It’s definitely an arms race. One other outcome is that it gets too expensive to be cost effective and slows down that way.

Then i guess i won’t stay on reddit for very long

I’m gonna keep doing that until they ban my reddit account

But it never seemed worth caring or worrying about

And that’s exactly why they want to stop it

Leaded is objectively better for everything except health/pollution. Which is the point of RoHS.

Leaded solder has a lower melting point, flows much better, easier to visually see bad solder joints, and doesn’t form whiskers. Also less brittle, so cracked joints are less likely.

Fumes don’t contain lead, it’s not nearly hot enough. Those fumes are flux burning.

Lead free sucks ass and you can pry my leaded solder from my cold dead hands.

Seriously just wash your hands.

What downsides?
