    And in this specific application (simple resistor as a load) you could even save all the diodes and generate even more heat in the resistor alone instead of also „heating“ the diodes. *

    This my most favorite circuit. It’s a very simple and elegant solution doing its job in silence without getting the kudos it deserves.

    • I know RL is just a simple generalization for a load.


  • That’s definitely not going to happen. One of the few things Windows is doing right is backwards compatibility. Have 30 year old exe? It usually just runs fine. In my experience a lot of business logic relies on this compatibility. It would be stupid from a business standpoint to break this compatibility. It would upset a lot of paying customers.

    But wait a second. I’m speaking about Microsoft. All we wanted was a Windows 7 with a modernized GUI. And we got Windows 10 with Cortana, multiple Control panels, redundant settings that contradicted each other. We got Windows 11 with ads everywhere, Copilot, enforced MS accounts and so on.

    It would perfectly make sense to switch to Linux. They could fire a lot of devs. I’m sure they would save a lot of money for a couple of seconds.

    Obviously they don’t give a shit about customers, so this sounds like a normal thing Microsoft could do for short term gains.











  • IMHO if the system is fair and there was a real crime (Not people getting punished for some BS „crime“ or for just belonging to a minority, wrong skin color etc.) then let them work. But not for corpos/financial reasons: Let them do things that make everyday life of everybody outside a bit better. This way they can at least give something back to society.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that I don’t think that something like this would work in the US.

    I agree. It’s totally simple and people overcomplicate.

    BTW one nice thing about German is, that you can even use the same logic for Boolean operators: The AND operator ∧ is called UND being the shorter word (when you put the name at the top). The OR operator ∨ is called ODER being the longer word.

    You can use the same logic in English if you Place AND/OR at the bottom instead 😁

    You have experienced the pinnacle of Windows (we could probably also add Windows 7 to this). Do yourself a favor and never touch a Windows 10 and especially Windows 11 machine. It’s unimaginable how Microsoft managed to break everything that was working and how clever they are in terms of marketing to sell you stuff you don’t need.

    They made me finally switch to Linux because my paid 365 subscription offered me to try the new outlook because Windows Mail was to be discontinued in future. I activated the test and the fun began: Only one of seven accounts was imported into outlook. Of course it was the only Microsoft account (Outlook). All other Accounts were ignored. I thought „Ok migration didn’t work, I’ll do it later manually“ I had a new email. I clicked on it. Edge opened although Firefox was my standard browser. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that I was clickbaited into opening an advertisement by one of the biggest companies on this planet.

    This made me immediately stop my work and install Linux Mint. I’m not going back any time soon.

    For job related reasons I have to use a lot of VMs. Unfortunately most of them are Windows 10. I created a naked installation years ago and basically use this as the base for individual development VMs. One of these annoyed me for days to make an update. All I could click was „remind me in one hour“ or update immediately. So I chose the one hour a lot of times. I finally let it update. Now my (Windows default!) task bar is transparent and also the whole windows menu. A colleague using the same VM with the latest updates (without changes to installed software) has no issues.
