Aww man, this is not the follow-up I was hoping for…

Aren’t you a (midnight) wolf? This is confusing

Oh no, it seems the Germans have broken confinement!

Isn’t it the first book in a series? I think I remember reading the whole series a while back

No idea why this is downvoted. Seems like a helpful suggestion

Thank you for pointing that out! I missed the context of the survival backpack and now it makes more sense. When you view this as more of a ‘what if’ for a somewhat (hopefully) fictional situation this becomes a fun challenge of creating PCBs from limited resources. I’m wondering how I might try to build a PCB under such circumstances now. I’m still not a fan of their ‘urban mining’ though. If anything I believe there would be better sources for silver in a disaster/post-apocalypse.

Idk, this one is weird to me. I agree that micro electronics production is not conflict free and appreciate a search for alternatives, but clay? From an engineering perspective this isn’t just a bad material for PCBs, it’s neigh impossible to use. How would that affect device longevity, or recyclability? Their production process is quite failure prone as they mention. Not to mention how their design is easily magnitudes larger than a comparable laminated fiber PCB. Also urban-mined is a needlessly opaque buzzword imo. They mean recycled, right? Just say so, no need for flourishes. Emphasizing that the clay is sourced from a wild forest and burned over a bonfire is meant to feel sustainable via association. There is nothing environmentally conscious about these inefficient methods and it makes this project appear amateurish. Nothing wrong with amateur attempts to help the problem, but somehow I get the feeling no one bothered to ask a PCB fab worker or repair technician along the way. More sustainable PCBs start with open source documentation and freely available replacement parts, not forest clay. Full disclosure, I read the description text on the site and (only) skimmed through the video. Feel free to correct me if I misrepresented anything.

You’ve heard of Yugoslavia, now get ready for Yugoslavia 2 - electric boogaloo! Now with even more ethniceties under one flag, what could go wrong?

A hero of science! We thank you!

Weird way to spell “Heimweh”

Idk, maybe the collapse of Yugoslavia? Perhaps the Ottoman rule and aftermath. Different religions tied to different cultures as a deviding factor seem to stand out to me

Edit: I can’t read apparently, disregard my comment.

Graphene OS only works on Pixel Phones. They’re really the gold standard. Pick one from the supported list on the graphene os website that suits your needs.

Well then why not say that then? I could follow the rest of the screenshot conversation but that part confused me. Anyone should be able to call out homophobia and gatekeeping the right to such critique hardly benefits any oppressed groups. And I think we probably agree on that.

Your statement likely made more sense in context, but that’s missing in the screenshot. Generalizations like this are wrong and easy enough to avoid.

Token German chiming in

You got most of it quite right, except the ending. It’s -erle, or really just -le (depending on where you split the word). The suffix is used to change a word to sound smaller, cute, playful and generally less serious. It also has a southern accent/sound to me, but take that with a pinch of salt. Not sure if there is an english comparison. Its similar to another german suffix: -chen

Yes, Whichposting! I didn’t know I needed this! Now we shall all ponder they orb, finally
