You bitch too much.
a few weeks ago I had to quickly splice a line in 3 places in a permanent fashion, and all I had was a fucking soldering iron.

Jesus you're a bitch. If you are doing a lot of punch downs, buy a JackRapid tool and knock them out in like 10 seconds.
For untwisting the pairs, just use a small screwdriver; slip it between the base and pull up. Boom, untwisted. Also, buy a jacket cutter so you don't have to use the string. They are dirt cheap and you just spin it around the cable once and slide the jacket off.

>>wires twisted so tight you have to use
You're really bitchy about this purposeful feature
needle nose or give yourself carpal tunnel to get them untwisted
without the twisting they become more susceptible to EMI

I bought one of those shitty chink USB audio controllers and after 2 weeks it finally malfunctioned.
The issue is that I'm using a server without integrated sound card as a desktop PC.
So how shall I get sound?
I have a laptop, an Android phone, an orange pi and a video card that has audio over HDMI but no monitor with HDMI.
Is there some way to run the HDMI to the pi or the laptop and only use it to output aound?

Apple is my fav hardware developer for sure because my fav thing in IT is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and their computers are full to the brim of it. Every laptop is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the macbook & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whatre they gonna do next, those tricksters, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old applemeister, that card. "Did that dongle?" They say, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch them as they shove a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into their mouth and display em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as they snap their suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

What should I learn to be able to get job security in embedded? I currently already have an embedded software job, but I'm using old tech there (all assembly for a fairly ancient CPU) and I want to know what I should know if/when I decide to move on.

I don't have an ipad and am planning to get one.
I am only using it for:
> Reading, movies, surfing not heavy tasks.
Right now the ipad air 2 is $540 Aud and seems like a good bargain.
However it was released in 2013 and was skeptical whether the hardware will be too weak and out of date. I am hoping to use it for at least 3 years. As a comparison I bought a Note 3 2014 and still using it fine.
Should I get the ipad air 2 or wait for the air 3 or whatever the new ipad would be?

The only reason to prefer an "Air" over an iPad 4 is that your wrists are too weak to hold it upright.
>>
Hey OP, 'Murrica here. Got one for $250 and for that price I think it is perfect. So beyond maybe $350 AUD I don't really think it is worth it.
>>
Typo, the air 2 was released in 2014 my bad.$ 540 is simply the retail price and I could ask for discount a bit less.

Was browsing GitHub one day, came across an interesting program that claims to automate the process of applying for jobs on indeed.com.
Finally got it to run, but it produces no results when searching for jobs. My theory is that indeed changed its search engine interface and thus the program was no longer compatible. But this should be an easy fix, right?
Anyone want to help me fix this program up? A lot of NEETs here could use this. It would be nice to have a tool in our pocket that gives us an edge with 0 effort on our part.

if the line starts to change color you need to extract some acid from your battery and recharge your capacitors manually. if your battery doesn't have any acid, call up your stoner friends and see if they know somebody.
Question for the experts of /g/:
>there's a bunch of websites with a 'search' feature, where you can input a string of text to run against a database to identify matches
>I want to create a single web-based platform where putting in a string of text will automatically search all those websites and return the results together

there's a reason Google sorts and omits over half of the "relevant" searches
What you're describing is essentially what was wrong with 90's search engines; too many people trying to include everything they can and ending up with a pile of garbage the client them self has to sort through
The point of a search engine is that it searches for you, and gives you what might be the most relevant site, not giving you 1000 sites that mentioned your keyword at some point
>>
>>57592962
I'm not talking about a search engine utility.
Here's a good example of what I'm getting at with a totally different pretext:
>people go fishing in their secret spots
>every now and then, fisherman upload text files indicating where their secret spot is
>there's 7 websites that scan the web looking for these text files
>you can query these 7 websites by typing in your location, suburb, region or state; to see if there's any secret fishing spots nearby
>currently, these websites have varying amounts of data and different results
>I want to create a platform whereby you can automatically search all 7 websites for results
is this a little more clear?
>>
>>57593045
I think I understand, what I'm saying is why? The point is to get better and less search results, not more and worse results

change the water every 2 weeks and you're good to go.
>>
>>57592785
would that be any kind of water? distilled, tap, etc?
>>
>>57592806
The pH of tap water is too high, you can use volvic mineral water for a more neutral acidity to clean the pipes once in a while. Distilled is fine. You want to make sure algae don't disturb the flow and the minerals run cooler at the expense of a lesser clean distilled flow.
