fun OT factoid (that maybe shows a bit about my life): 12 months ago my energy supplier calculated monthly downpay for me, based on previous 12 months, now they recalculated based on last 12 months. Difference: 1,3%
<whitequark>
not sure what it menas
<whitequark>
*means
<DocScrutinizer05>
seems always-on of a few IT and LED lamps results in an amazingly constant over-all consumption. I only wonder how my 28kW waterheater comes in there
<whitequark>
LED lamps, didn't you rant here about incandescent quite a bit?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, I said it's a pity they are not available anymore
<whitequark>
ah
* whitequark
uses fluorescent... couldn't quite find good LED lamps for my socket
<DocScrutinizer05>
when I really started ranting then about Hg-filled "energy saver" FL lamps
<DocScrutinizer05>
which go dark after a year at most, when they don't break completely before that timespan
<DocScrutinizer05>
last time my fuse tripped been from a energysaver CFL-lamp
<DocScrutinizer05>
:-/
<whitequark>
mhm, maybe I'm less sensitive, but these CFL lamps don't burn out in a year
<whitequark>
in a five maybe
<DocScrutinizer05>
maybe yours are better quality. Russian quality? ;-)
<whitequark>
chinese ofcourse
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, I used up three of those critters during last 5 years
<whitequark>
russia maybe does only those huge lamps used in street lights, or maybe those long rods you see in industrial/government buildings
<DocScrutinizer05>
I think two failed after maybe 1000h
<whitequark>
they seem pretty simple to fuck up

umm, s/CFL/CCFL/ ?
<DocScrutinizer05>
Cold Cathode
<whitequark>
ccfl
<DocScrutinizer05>
though *some* of those energywaster have even heated cathodes
<whitequark>
I know a guy who was anal enough about lighting that he bought a quartz lamp somewhere overseas, rated for I don't even know how much kW
<whitequark>
when asked, he told me "I like my workplace brightly lit"
<whitequark>
well a week after he bought it, he got a visit from law enforcement. door torn from his hands or even broken (can't remember), him lying face down on the floor
<whitequark>
turns out similar lamps (with different spectrum) are used to grow cannabis, and his package tripped something at customs
<DocScrutinizer05>
LOL
<DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, those HQL are fine for growing plants
<DocScrutinizer05>
but, honestly, way too bright for working
<whitequark>
basically exactly what I wanted to do with EMC2
<whitequark>
though I wonder if it even works

wpwrak: how do you deal with burr around drilled holes in pcbs?
<whitequark>
I have a rather extreme problem with it
<whitequark>
in fact some of the raised edges I have are almost 1mm in height

whitequark: burr ? in holes ? never heard of it :)
<wpwrak>
at least not for the small ones, for vias. may be different if i made huge holes
<wpwrak>
burr is usually favoured by dull cutting edges. maybe weak fixtures may also be a factor (though mine aren't exactly fortresses)

<whitequark>
no, around holes
<whitequark>
lifted copper around them on both sides
<whitequark>
hrmm... I may have had some limited success with plating
<whitequark>
but solder sure as hell isn't pulled by capillary effect into those holes
<whitequark>
meaning they're unsuitable for actual work.
<whitequark>
guess I need to figure out the proper bath finally.
<whitequark>
interesting though; while the plated layer does come off in flakes, it requires quite some muscular effort to do so
<whitequark>
e.g. I would say the force is comparable with force required to tear off factory laminated copper, if you have a lifted corner
<whitequark>
(in flakes) i.e. it nevertheless bonds to itself much stronger than to underlying copper or dielectric
<wpwrak>
(drill) what Z speed do you use ?
<zrafa>
wpwrak: yes, but in libswd/ we have cc25*.c which is built by Makefile and used by ben.c . So I needed to comment those parts of ben.c so I can build the swd software to try with our mcu
<zrafa>
without CC* stuff
<wpwrak>
well, you could just leave it in and ignore it. it doesn't get in the way.
