Privacy is one of those things that has to be collective to be effective. It doesn't matter if you put on a hat, a cloak, shades, and a fake beard when you go out of your home if you are the only one doing it, they'll just identify you as the person in a cloak, hat, shades, and a fake beard.

'Dishonored and Prey'[two games] 'dev' [short for developer, the people that made the games] 'Arkane' [the name of the studio, i.e. the 'developer'] 'founder' [the person that founded said studio]. So, after unwrapping, it would be something like 'The founder of Arkane, the studio that developed Dishonored and Prey, says...'.

It is weird, and I certainly hate it, but it's proper 'journalist grammar'.

Don't know about the glue thing, the smds were put by a machine, but they would move like the one in the picture if you didn't set the machine right. I can't say for sure with that resolution but I think those white things are the shiny reflections on the pins/solder. I will look into these smd glues tho, that could come handy.

And about the tape I have to say that my experience with wave soldering is not very vast, literally just one place, but they used painters tape, of the cheapest kind, and it worked just fine—no melting (it's paper?), and no burning since the solder doesn't get that hot (~200°C), the tape might stay a bit wet from the flux also idk.

To the second and third issues, I think they happened because of bad settings in the wave soldering machine, and/or not prepping the board beforehand. Maybe the wave was to high, or the speed too slow. Many times you have to cover the smd components with a bit of painters tape. Even the orientation of the board on the frame can matter.

In Spain we study the American Revolution, as the first of the liberal democratic revolutions, in as much detail as our own civil war. Or we did 20+ years ago. So I guess the Brits do too and the other commenter is just teasing or something.

I've been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It's usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.

I'm not sure it's possible to bankrupt a city like LA, they can go into massive debt and you and your children will end up paying it. They can also take the money from elsewhere in the budget: a shepherd will stop feeding the sheep but not the dogs.

Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn't convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.

It doesn't matter if you only saw the orphans in a spreadsheet, you and the guy in the article kissed the book and have done the same shit to others in the name of the same government that is now doing it to him.

Also in the remarks of his service and also in yours, even if as a pen-pusher 🫡, I get some hints of pride which makes this article a leopards eat face of unrepentant supporter imho.

stupid

dipshit

There's no need for that mate.

How many brown fathers did you kill or kidnapped acting as a thug of your government? If, after that, other thugs from your government came to kidnap yours, I would say it's a clear 'never thought the leopards would eat my face' situation.
