If you ever want to see how many radio amateurs are out there in the field doing activations (summits on the air , parks on the air even bunkers on the air) in your part of the world then this website is excellent ..…
Sometimes if they get to hot or following many many heating/cooling cycles the insulation varnish on the transformer windings starts to fail leading to short circuit issues.
For a human who deals with student work or reads job applications spotting AI generated work quickly becomes trivially easy. Text seems to use the same general framework (although words are swapped around) also we see…
Check if your phone has dropped to 2G. It is rare to find a location which only has 2G coverage but when it happens while voice/sms works OK data speed drops to almost zero.
When my Mother first started wandering my first thought was there had to be some technical solution but I'm afraid the way that the mind with dementia works means that there isn't. We tried both Airtags and GPS trackers…
Back in the late 80s I had a job servicing the 2 way radios used by bus drivers. Then you could smoke of buses & it caused a lot of problems not just for the passengers but for the electronics getting into volume…
Once at a Farnborough air show many years back there was a display from an aircraft maintenance company with small sections of the skin of old airliners. On those if there was a small imperfection of the metal skin or…
These things are now everywhere , not just litter but an environmental horror story and a fire risk as well. Previously I had seen them & wondered what they were then this Big Clive video explained all ..…
No I must admit that is even lower than I thought they were capable of , yet somehow doesn't surprise me.
Yes I'm seeing those as well. The pictures are just a little to perfect & the job history non existent.
I never thought I would say this but LinkedIn seems to have gone even further downhill than it was a few years ago. You know things are bad when even the low end recruiters seem to have left the platform. These days 90%…
I bought an SoundBlaster16 DSP card on the basic premise it had a DSP on it as I wanted to do some audio processing. Not sure if it actually did have a DSP IC in it as Creative never released any info on how to program…
Not sure where you are but this may be linked to the number of resignations and vacancies in many big companies at the moment. I have been trying to buy some high value electronic instruments at work for the last 12…
Back in the day I used to have to repair the CRT monitors for these. They were incredibly heavy and you could do yourself serious harm just lifting one from a box onto your bench. The reason for the weight was that once…
I can't agree more , reading this every bullsh*t alarm in my brain was triggering. In his report Mr Godfrey never mentions the frequencies used for the WSPR transmissions. This mode can be used on VHF/UHF frequencies…
Sadly not all Agilent/HP equipment uses rotary encoders like this. One of their function generators was brought to me with a clear rotary encoder fault. I opened it up expecting to find a rotary encoder like this. But…
There can be a very fine line. A few years ago I worked with someone who was a bullying objectionable arse especially to younger staff. Eventually it all caught up with him and with HR breathing down his neck he managed…

This is an interesting thread as despite working for many many years in IT I know next to nothing about SAP. I have worked with people from all parts of the IT ecosystem over the years but not SAP. It appears to be its…
Years ago I was involved in a project to scrape certain info out of a SAP system with a web interface. It would have been easier to do it with a API but my conversations with the SAP people at work were going nowhere…
If you are applying for a job remember that frequently the job description will have been "improved" by a HR drone with little else to do who adds words and phrases she doesn't understand but thinks should be in a job…
I did that and am trying to access via Twitter but just hit the same paywall.
My wife used to be a Talk Talk customer in the days of dial ins. Anyway 5 or so years back they suddenly started billing her credit card again monthly for the service she had cancelled years before. We couldn't stop…
