So I found this service guide for a Thinkpad and the drawings seem to contain a suspicious amount of detail. I can see it slowly render layer by layer on some pages, like 85.Did they dump raw CAD models into this PDF or something? I wonder how this PDF actually works.https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/p50_hmm_en.pdf

I just watched Space Balls for the 900th time and if anyone is wondering, yup, it's still excellent.

The more I use C++, the more I absolutely hate it.I've just learned about pure virtual functions, which are simply abstract functions from C#, but done in the worst way.You can't explicitly make a C++ class or function abstract, but if you add a =0 to your virtual function declaration, the containing class becomes abstract.If a child class does not implement the function, it then also becomes abstract and cannot be instantiated.

Yo dawg I heard you like abstractions so we abstracted your abstractions and we kinda lost the plot so now you have std::add instead of an opeartor

"Cassette tape recording is killing the music industry!""CD ripping is killing the music industry!""Digital piracy is killing the music industry!"Damn, sure is crazy how we killed the music industry three times. Shame there's literally no music anymore

@foone no one can steal your laptop if it's too heavy to run with! Also convenient as a blunt weapon.Also I really want an actual docking station, USB-C is for chumps. Give me freaky PCI any day.I've seriously considered just designing a new motherboard for my old Thinkpad because it's such a good and beefy machine.

It's interesting to think that "my browser doesn't work with this website" used to mean "my browser is out of date". Now it means "someone intentionally broke this website for my browser because it supports ad blocking"

Hey #ADHD peeps, I'm having some side effects from my meds and I'm wondering if this is common?I'm on dextroamphetamine, both extended release and immediate release.At the end of the day when it's all wearing off, I crash hard with brain fog, lightheadedness. I know that's normal, but lately I've been getting visual effects? Flashes around the edges of my vision, auras and stuff. It's like a migraine precursor, but no headache. It's been getting worse over time.

So payday is, uh, *several* weeks late and the rainy day fund will only last so long. I'm a C# Dev with 10 years of experience in games and desktop software. 3 years of C/C++ writing firmware and designing PCBs, also embedded Linux software, Bluetooth and IoT widgetry.If you're hiring, I'm in the Cincinnati area. I'm also open to remote, one-off, and contract work.

@ricci BACK IN MY DAY we had ten-pound transformers hanging precariously off an outlet with a 12V automotive jack dangling off a cord. What a time to be alive

Saying that mastodon is "losing" to twitter or has "failed" to break into the mainstream is like saying that kids playing basketball in the street are "losing" to pro hockey teams, or that a 5th grade chess club in Japan has "failed" to break into American pro baseball.Buddy, these things are not remotely the same. Mastodon exists in an entirely separate universe from Twitter. Mastodon is an *explicit rejection* of mainstream social media. We can't lose because we were never playing.

It's still so incredibly fucked up that my phone can pull down a gigabit of data per second from the actual aether, but a voice call immediately drops down to 32kbit/s in emulation of a series of analog technologies that haven't existed for decades.

The entire hardware team at work has been brought to a screaming halt because goddamn motherfucking Altium has been outputting invalid gerbers and somehow magically bridged two internal planes on a series of very expensive PCBs.Every program I've used to view these gerbers shows the short. Except Altium. If I open the same file in two programs, Altium tells me lies.We spend more than my salary on Altium subscriptions. What a fucking joke.
