2023-09-26 10:22:08 <xelxebar    > Really want to pick one up, but I don't I can justify it.
2023-09-26 10:22:42 <xelxebar    > My hardware tinkering skills are so anemic that it'd probably just lay around in wont of some creative spark.
2023-09-26 10:39:21 <MrMobius    > you're not really a hardware guy unless you have a pile of unused boards you're promising yourself you'll get to someday
2023-09-26 10:39:32 <MrMobius    > the worst is when they are giving them away for free
2023-09-26 10:43:24 <thrig       > six motherboards up on cinder blocks on the front lawn...
2023-09-26 12:15:21 <KipIngram   > lmao...
2023-09-26 12:15:34 <KipIngram   > There's a great HOA joke in there somewhere...
2023-09-26 14:55:58 <KipIngram   > Interesting.  I'm perusing this HP RPL documentation, and I see things in there that seem a lot like some of the ideas I'm planning.  Maybe that means I'm on a worthwhile path.
2023-09-26 14:56:29 <Riviera     > KipIngram: Like what?
2023-09-26 14:56:32 <Zarutian_iPad> worthwhile idea mine to "steal" from?

2023-09-26 15:07:52 <KipIngram   > Like the division into levels, with a "system" level and a "uSER" level.  Also the capacity for some of native operations to have operation guided by the inupt types.  I know that's not an uncommon thing, but it looks like it's "wired in" at a fairly low level in the RPL.
2023-09-26 15:08:34 <KipIngram   > Zarutian_iPad: That's why I'm reading it.  :-)
2023-09-26 15:09:29 <KipIngram   > I'm trying to push this type-specific operation support in at the very bottom level, right at the vm assembly level.
2023-09-26 15:10:07 <KipIngram   > But I imagine I will want instructions for switching that on and off.
2023-09-26 18:45:31 <xelxebar    > Well, I do have a PinePhone, another e-Ink phone, a DIY board for air quality sensor, a logic analyzer, and a bench power supply that are all "totally going to get used pretty soon".
2023-09-26 18:55:04 <Zarutian_iPad> got an soldiering iron?
2023-09-26 19:42:37 <xelxebar    > A Hakko
2023-09-26 19:43:02 <Zarutian_iPad> used those, pretty reliable
2023-09-26 19:43:36 <Zarutian_iPad> not recommended for smd rework though on account of the tip being just too damn big
2023-09-26 19:44:11 <xelxebar    > What is an SMD?
2023-09-26 19:44:53 <Zarutian_iPad> Surface Mounted Device as opposite to Through-hole
2023-09-26 20:16:36 <MrMobius    > Zarutian_iPad: you can get any tip you want for your Hakko
2023-09-26 20:16:49 <MrMobius    > I switched mine out for a chisel tip
