It works for now, but the reason most wires have a rubber-like insulator around them is that it takes very little to Crack or abrade a thin coating such as this and turn it into a fire hazard.
I'm surprised a product with such a small safety margin is allowed for sale.
If it were a ban on the rare earth minerals themselves, yes, but a ban on the extraction technologies just secures dependence on Chinese sources.
The reason China is a major exporter of these minerals has less to do with their availability in China and more to do with their lax environmental regulations, which allow extraction via means that are prohibited in many other countries.
So preventing their extraction in countries where stricter environmental standards are in place just means more environmental damage.
I don't know about you, but if I've driven an hour to go to a store and can't park my ute directly in front of it, I turn straight around and go home again.
Unless you're in a position to scale up majorly in the near future, and need systems in place for a hundred employees, don't overthink it. Get yourself a second NAS for all of your critical data, and keep it airgapped from the rest of the network except for your weekly backups.
I'd look into using google for your email and calendar service also, as it has good integration between email and calendars, plus you can share calendars between people.
I had two jetsons that i was using for a project, had one on my desk and one in another office. Started back into some gpio stuff that I'd been working on the last few days and found that i was getting nothing, after about an hour of fucking with configuration trying to determine what had happened, i realised that i had sshed into the wrong one.
Now i make sure to give descriptive hostnames to every device on my network.
I really find it hard to empathise with a company that outsources it's manufacturing to China in order to exploit cheap labour and poor environmental protections. It feels like having your IP ripped off by the people you're exploiting in order to save a buck is fair comeuppance.
Fuck it. No-one is this thread can seem to agree, so I'm making a unilateral declaration that from here on out, all units of time except for the second are abolished, and we just use unix time for everything. You have until 1699217619s to make the switch.
Maybe it's becuase i grew up on python and bash still seems somewhat alien to me, but any time I'm crafting something with more than three or so nested functions, I use python as a wrapper for bash. Python initiates a bash script, parses the retval, inititates the next bash script from that data, etc.
What consoles need is the opposite. Something to make controller-based games run smoothly with a mouse and keyboard.
The biggest hurdle to getting someone like myself off a pc and onto a console is how awkward it is to use a controller when you've grown up with a mouse and keyboard.
Does anyone really use youtube these days anyway? Its gone from a site where you might discover new and interesting things to a site full of clickbait trash and ads for other trash. Its gotten the point where if i see that a video i might otherwise watch is hosted on youtube, i just scroll past because I cant be bothered dealing with their site.
I'd be quite happy for it to just die off at this stage.
All cad files have a defined structure which could be interpreted. Unfortunately many cad files are proprietary and decoding them externally to the closed-source programs that create them is a massive undertaking that would get you sued
The Constant, by Mark Chrysler.
Headlined as "a history of getting things wrong", the host goes into deep dives about what we thought we knew, how we eventually came to figure out we were wrong, the repercussions of both.
It takes a seriously funny and well researched approach to a number of major events in our history, and I absolutely must recommend "the foolkiller" a five episode exploration of a submarine found at the bottom of the Chicago River then lost to history, with a very juicy footnote delivered several episodes later, that I dare not spoil for you.
