I’m not sure if it’s the heat or something but some of the camera angles look like a 3D thing and not real life. The helicopter angles I’d say. Not sure if just my streaming quality but I’m guessing it’s not the case

They are still going ai first on everything but customer support though. Any person who quits apparently won’t get the position filled by anyone else, whoever is left needs to try to use ai to make up for that person

Is this likely to affect investment on them? I ask because it’s surprising to me that they lose $5b a year and now can’t follow a path to proper profitability, unless I’m understanding not for profit wrong.

There are strong competitors out there spending less and I reckon that their top of the line AI is not much better than DeepSeek’s or Anthropic’s and DeepSeek alone is trained at a fraction of the cost. Why would someone continue investing on OpenAI ?

Would the missing part of the front that Leclerc ran pretty much the full race without have caused the issue?

If someone car loses a part but they can finish the race would it cause the weight issue?

Wow. That looks neat

And for most of the race the leaderboard was not showing the time distance between the drivers

I understand that people need to be a bit more tech savvy to use Linux over windows but I reckon that KDE for example is really similar to windows (but actually much much better) and with the ai chatbots we currently have available I reckon any non-tech users would be able solve most of the issues with the chatbot’s help

Does anyone knows of those brita filters that’s pretty much a plastic jar would leak as much microplastics as a regular bottle of water?

Really good game. Played with my wife and we beat it over the weekend as we just couldn’t stop playing

And to recreate the species they’d need hundreds of them from different genetic material. Which means they’ll likely create a single one that will eventually die and costed billions of dollars.

I started using my public library more often this year and was surprised with how easy is to use their system to reserve or even asks for books they may not have. Been reading a lot because of that without spending a penny. The best part for me at least is having a deadline to return the book, this creates a bit of a sense of urgency which makes me read more consistently as if you get newer ones you have to get in a borrow queue and there’s no way to extend it.

It’s also worth mentioning that depending on the library you may get some perks like LinkedIn learning for free as well.

I’m using Linux now for a long time as my daily driver and for all the important stuff.

Games though I still end up using windows 10. My cpu doesnt support 11 and there’s all that crap of copilot recall and whatnot that I’m not interested at all to have on my pc.

Hopefully playing the occasional game won’t be a massive issue because I’ll have to go windows 10 with no security updates then.

Using previous advice here I managed to assemble a piantor and soldered the microcontroller on the pcb directly and I have to say that for a complete beginner that was very challenging.

I've gotten 5 pairs of PCBs and I kind of destroyed one pair but I am still trying to assemble at least another keyboard so I have a backup as I reckon it would take me a few days to be able to be proficient again on a non ortholinear keyboard now.

So I decided to try to use the female pin headers to be able to remove the microcontroller if I ever need to in case it dies or something of the sort.

I had the regular pin headers already and I know I can remove the pins from the white strip so I was going to solder them into the pcb while attached to the female and cut the extra length they'd have.

I got this specific female ones from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005053790061.html I got the ones named "1x40P Female Tin"

When they arrived however, I ended up noticing that the regular pin headers I have do not fit the female ones. I have no idea what to search for to buy just the pins and what dimensions I'd need to get them, can anyone please advise me on what's the name of the loose pins and which ones should I buy please.

Thanks in advance, thanks to this community I have a working kb now :)

 

I’m joining the split keyboard group by building a piantor. I have the pcbs already and they’re lead free coated and I will use lead free solder on the components.

I’m a bit worried though as I used a borrowed split and I noticed I keep touching the soldering in the microcontroller quite a bit and the build I was going for was a bare one where we just put rubber feet directly in the pcb so there’s no case or anything.

I tend to rub my eyes and bite my nails quite a bit during the day. I was wondering if it’s safe enough on lead free solder or if this is something I should completely avoid.

Any suggestions in case I should avoid it entirely. I reckon the worst place would be the top of the pcb maybe I can use some hot glue where the solder is but I have no idea if it’s hard to pull it off later if I need to review/resolder.

This is my first project and I haven’t done anything like this before, so even the flux I’m kind of unaware how to clean, solder comes with it right, do I need to wipe it somehow or use isopropyl alcohol and wipe with maybe a paper towel?

Sorry about being a complete noob. I searched around but most people are concerned about the lead solder not lead free like me.

 

So, I understand that all interactions we make like posts and comments are visible from anyone.

Even though I believe it's a bit less private than I'd like I also believe that upvotes and downvotes are federated, I wonder if they're federated in a more private way using some hash or something or if it's just openly federated.

What about the email I had to use to register here? Hopefully this one lives only with the database of the this instance and it's not federated at all.

Cheers

 

I was wondering if there's a place where I can see my upvote and downvote history. Sorry about starting a post but I really couldn't find this information anywhere and can't find where in the website I can do it.
