Doubt it. No age gap or superheroes involved.

Yes, but in Norwegian. -March.

Go away, Robert.

Same. My old doctor recommended daily vit D supplements in months that end with R. Regular store bought dosage is strong enough to actually do something if taken daily, but weak enough that it won’t harm you if you’re not deficient.

I wouldn’t, as managed switching is only a small subset of the managerial tasks I attend. I don’t manage individual switches as much as I manage production systems where managed switch management is only a minor component.

On that note, we actually use hubs in one particular place in these systems, and since I manage their installation and asset tracking, does this make them managed Ethernet hubs?

Unmanaged switches don’t care about VLAN tags, spanning trees, management interfaces, or LACP.

Managed switches care about at least some of those features and therefore will have a management interface to configure them, as well as firmware supporting them.

A dumb/unmanaged switch will look up the MAC address of the intended recipient and map that to a port before forwarding a packet to a particular port. A managed switch might do a lot more.

If you don’t need a managed switch, don’t buy one. If you’re OK with everything on one port being able to communicate with anything on another port, and connectivity is your only concern, you’re probably going to be fine with an unmanaged switch.

Stupid indeed, but of utmost importance.

I don’t know a general approach, but in one particular print with low infill I paused the print to pour in some sand just to make it more bottom heavy. While it worked great in that case, I don’t know how well it’d work in other circumstances. Great cost/weight ratio, though.

Here’s me once again having a finger on the pulse of popular culture - the elbow. I didn’t know that there was a sequel.

I agree with you on the characters and plot - It leaves a lot to be desired, but the good acting makes up for it. I too would’ve loved to see the premise explored more in detail, but I think that would’ve required a much longer runtime, possibly split into several films, each of which wouldn’t really stand on their own. Think of it more as a story in a different world where the world building isn’t that important to fully grasp.

However, there are two very positive points about the movie I want to point out:

• The sound design. It actually sounds realistic. The ambience suits the scene without sucumbing to layers upon layers of what one would expect such a scene to contain. This means that the guns are free to sound like actual guns.
• The cinematography of them escaping through the battle is the true masterpiece. The continuous take approach allows for more immersion in the danger they’re facing and the urgency of the situation. It truly captures how it feels to be stuck in a war zone as a 3RC party, and it feels like a real combat scene with proper ricochets and stray bullets where you are at risk of dying at any moment even if you’re an innocent bystander and nobody is out to get you.

I’d offer you an animal as symbol of your success, but I presently have none in store.

Any chance what you have is not an EPIRB, but a SART? SARTs are only registered with beacon ID and doesn’t require programming. Shows up on radar and sometimes AIS also. No sat comms involved.

Yes, except no plugging involved: It’s some sort of inductive way of programming it via a USB dongle. The info is written into this “programming program” which can read and write data to the unit, it’s written, and then you read it to make sure all the info was applied.

Then you label the unit physically with ship name, callsign, and MMSI. In addition to this there are two stickers that come with the unit, denoting the expiry date of the battery and the hydrostatic release. These go on the unit so that’s it easy to check if it’s time to replace them.

It’s been a while, but off the top of my head: MMSI (which is basically the radio installation identifier. Same number is used for AIS), and an ID digit (0 in wheelhouse, 1 on starboard bridge wing, 2 on port, etc)

For those who didn’t know: EPIRB = Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. Sends an emergency signal via satellite and terrestrial RF. They can be triggered manually, but they also trigger automatically if salt water shorts two exposed pads for a certain amount of time (a minute, I think).
Once triggered it will get a GPS fix and transmit a distress signal via satellite as well as terrestrial VHF. It is programmed with the MMSI of the ship it belongs to.
Works all over the world, although they take a bit longer to successfully transmit the signal in the polar regions as they then have to rely on LEO sattelots in polar orbits.

Source: I have a GOC, and I also used to work with marine electronics. I’ve programmed hundreds of these. Mainly Jordan Jotron TR60 (Ducking autocorrect). Some from McMurdo too, don’t remember the model name.

Fun fact: A coworker did have to make the phonecall of shame to the coastal radio after accidentally dropping one overboard.

I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas. Whaa.

Probably around the same time I managed to find a used 386 for sale cheaply, and I bought it. I could play some of the early greats such as Dune 2, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, while others were playing CD ROM games such as Red Alert.

But I didn’t care because I was still having fun, and lack of too many distractions allowed me to dive deeply into the fundamentals. When they moved on to the next cool game, I taught myself turbo Pascal and played with the serial ports and an old AT modem.

A few years later I got myself a 166MHz (MMX!) and got properly online (IRC, ICQ, etc) along with the rest and they had a hard time understanding how I was immediately so much better at understanding “their” stuff from the start than they ever would be.

I’ve used this a lot in the past at work. I see now that it’s discontinued, but I’m sure they have a new thing in its place. tiny, easy to use, and a huge time saver.

I guess he’s tired of superheroes, sequels, prequels, spinoffs, and reboots. Just like the rest of us.
