Looks fun! Who’s going to post the first BGA rework video? Haha

Took me a bit but from this post I realized you have to search for the community with the full name, i.e. [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]), in the "Communities" tab in the instance you're in. Looks like I'm able to access it from your instance now: https://reddthat.com/c/[email protected]

Eagle was the first piece of ECAD software for PCBs I used. I remember using the free version that limited my workspace to 4" square or so. Good times. Wish I had found KiCAD first though.

Agreed, Anker cables have held up for me for years.

I've enjoyed my 1Zpresso K-Max, although in retrospect getting the blind shaker design in the magnetic catch cup of the K-Plus would have been nice. The external adjustment with detents was a selling point for me, despite it having a slightly coarser adjustment than comparably-priced manual grinders.

I'm unfamiliar with career prospects for electrical engineers in Sweden, so I'll defer to that advice you have gotten, and hope someone who is familiar can add some helpful information. Perusing through LinkedIn and Indeed could be helpful in seeing what the job offerings are like in your local area. I'll try to add something useful to the discussion though. From what you've said, you seem very passionate about computer science -- self-learning and working in a related field while pursuing a degree in EE is no joke. It would be a shame to abandon that pursuit if it truly is a passion of yours.

Some questions I have that might be helpful to think over:

  1. What is the process to change your major now? I recognize you're only a year away from graduating with an EE degree, but it could be useful to know what the application process would be like, what barriers you would face with regard to admittance into the CS program now, etc.
  2. What is your plan after undergrad? Have you thought about pursuing a master's degree in CS? There are options for fully remote classes (for instance, my alma mater has an online MS in CS program called "OMSCS").
  3. In terms of careers as an EE that could provide more job opportunities and straddle the line between EE and CS, have you looked into roles related to firmware engineering / embedded software engineering?

I love them too. There are also videos for Something I Can Never Have and The Becoming that Rob uploaded from this period. You may have seen these already, but they are worth linking.

Looks nice! For what it's worth, the "expand here" option worked on my end with Firefox.

Oh that's good to know. I haven't experimented much with decaf, but I should give it a shot.

Those B&W coffees look great. I'm eyeing their Esteban Madrid, and about to go into the rabbit hole of coffee bean processing...

I've been meaning to get that book. I've enjoyed Vegan Richa's Instant Pot Cookbook. Also, not a cookbook, but I love the recipes from Addicted to Dates -- the tiramisu is amazing.

It's niche political drama, and it doesn't really affect the development of Lemmy.
