I assume you’re talking about the n52 vs n20. I’ve had both engines as daily drivers, and they’re both fine. The n20 has a bad rap due to early models failing from a timing chain guides breaking.

Ah WASD keyboards :(. Does anyone by chance have the manuals for the v1 and or v3 coding keyboards from them?

Definitely worth visiting if you’re there, along with the remains of the medieval fortress under the Louvre.

I used to work in this industry and can confirm. California was by far the biggest cohort of consumers we had.

Also High Occupancy Lanes will sometimes have their own exits on the left side.

Iraq was ruled by a sociopath that used chemical weapons against his own citizens. I didn’t agree with the invasion, but there is no doubt Iraq is better off today than it would have been without U.S. involvement.

Not sure I see it like that. Micropython removes most of the rough edges of doing embedded C. If you prefer no code then I suggest ESPHome for your ESP IoT projects.

You could try signing up for a race. 5k’s are a good intro if you’re new to running. Plus it’s a nearly free hobby.

It’s wild to hear people scape goat REIT funds and campaign for rent control when the real problem happens to be “average people” owning investment properties. Step 1 of fixing the problem is the immediate repeal of Prop 13.

2020 yes. 2024 on PS5 IMO was a waste of money. The problem is they both require tons of computing power to run smoothly and look good.

Check out OpenRGB. It more often than not supports your device and it runs on most OS’s. I used it to turn off the rave happening in my rig.

Is this really easier to work with than bodge wire (wire wrap)? Asking because I still have a few rolls and would rather not waste money.
