  • If you want to be really pissed, read up on doctor disgraced former doctor, lifelong charlatan and grifter Andrew Wakefield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

    He abused autistic kids in a medical experiment that was meant to convince both the public and the scientific community that a specific combined vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella, a.k.a MMR) could trigger some kind of bowel disease that causes autism, all so he could peddle his own alternative that is three separate shots.








  • are rolling release distros stable enough

    I’ve been using Arch (or some flavor of it) for several years, and I’ve never had any serious issues that I didn’t cause myself. The thing that might catch you with your pants down is if a dependency introduces a change that breaks another application, but catastrophic failures are fairly rare, as long as you’re willing to learn how to maintain your system.

    is it possible/easy to roll back to a previous version

    Yes. The application is called Timeshift, and it’s specifically designed to back up the system files to a separate partition. If your root filesystem is btrfs, it can also manage filesystem-level snapshots that you can roll back if you bugger the system.


  • The main problem was that it interrupted the line. We’d have to stop and inspect each product, then reposition or replace the connectors, before the reflow oven. It also ran the risk of damaging the connector, the PCB, or even the inserter head if the insertion force was too high. We had a higher rework and scrap rate compared to similar SMD-only products, but using pin in paste meant that wave soldering could be skipped altogether, and I guess someone above my pay grade determined that it was better in terms of finances.

    This is just my own experience. I don’t know Rpi manufacturing practices.

    I’m not defending anyone. There’s enough drama in the F/LOSS space already. I’m trying to keep the community clean of inflammatory remarks that might get out of control while I’m asleep. I’ve seen your comment history – even if you’re stating “just facts”, your temper is going to be an issue.

    You might well be right, but this is not a space to discuss politics. Find another community to air out your grievances and I might even join you in shitting on whoever needs shitting on.
