i wonder, i know it would be a terrible idea, but how terrible an idea would it be to use motor oil to fry food? how about using cooking oil as an engine lubricant?

why do people always seem to use the darlington pair and never the sziklai pair, despite the sziklai's obvious advantages?

If you deal with any service workers today - delivery people, shop attendants, anything - be sure to thank them for what they're doing for you.

If you are one of those people, then please just let me say: thank you. What you and others like you do keeps the world moving, in good times and bad alike, and you do not get the appreciation you deserve.

hey

fun fact: the reason intel called it the pentium processor is because of a ruling stating that you can't trademark a number, so their original plan to call it the 586 (as the successor to the 486, itself succeeding the 386, and so on) had to be changed

this has been solved, though still have no idea what caused it

Urgent question for tech people: how the fuck do I get a bunch of files from an android phone onto a windows 10 pc? bluetooth works but i have to send each file individually and there's a lot of them. if i connect by usb, the computer doesn't seem to be able to see the files (searching their names returns nothing)
