It's been pretty much the same price to Finland for a while now too, maybe small increases but more in line with general inflation and COL increases. Not sure how it's right now since IIRC a lot of my DHL packages came through Qatar for whatever reason, so... might be alternative/slower route...

It's just some PCB's for my backlog so not a huge deal if it takes a while but I was wondering where my JLCPCB shipment was at: So, uh, probably not arriving anytime soon.

I would personally expect them to level out at some point in the future, but that depends on if you have elections and how they go, too.

Wow, it really does. "The Silver Boy is a completely analog take on a VIRTUAL amp, also known as the Silver Boy, which is found inside the Two-Notes Genome software." Right, yeah, being familiar with that software, it's probably pretty accurate. Edit: It sounds much better through some (good)...

I'm gonna socket transistors even harder in the future :devilish: (not but really, you do you, if you hate sockets don't use them, they save me a lot of trouble with pretty much no downsides and would have saved even more if I had used them more in the last build I did)

That does sound like a pretty useful idea, if one has a 3D printer. Personally I just solder in three small metal sockets (or just singular SIP sockets with the plastic on), held on by blu tack while I solder them.

I know there's another thread on here hating on the diypedals subreddit, but you go and do this: Edit: Is it really side jacks if the enclosure is a square? Arguably it could also be top and bottom jacks?

That's a good point - this www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/ is the best article I found on actual AI energy use numbers, and while singular text queries (and surprisingly image generation too - well not too surprising since you can run it...

is very good levelheaded take on AI IMO. I understand a lot of people hate it here, and I'm not really a huge fan myself either, but I don't think it's going to go away anymore. Maybe the art side will be shunned (which would be good IMO), but for general productivity and coding especially it's...

From what I understand, the best way to accomplish that right now would probably be to ask it to code you a program that outputs the schematic as an image. But of course it depends a lot on the models used, and I'm not sure if it's really worthwhile right now.

Man, I'm glad you get an easy question when ordering through DHL to Finland from Tayda where they ask if you want to declare it yourself or want DHL to do it (and charge big fees, of course). Self-declaring is a two minute process, if I order under 150€ I can just pick one of the items and...

Aliexpress is pretty good at giving a refund at stuff like this in my experience, but to be fair, it might not be worth it if it was just two dollars or something.

I tried looking up any patents for the skullsistors, until I realized it just said "registered intellectual property", so... I guess it's more that he owns the idea of putting skull-shaped gloop on transistors. I did run into this though , for whatever it's worth. The links are mostly dead now...

To be fair, if it's not a pure music based competition, then showmanship is a part of putting on a performance.

That's a very good price for that! I would be a little worried about software support in the future, but I don't know if that really matters except maybe for the audio interface part.

Oh, that's good to hear, but the Hebridean is also out of stock (and interests me greatly) which I was also looking at so I think I'm stuck waiting anyway.

A split between values and RefDes makes some sense if it's a board that's meant to build multiple different variants - populate most by numbers and check docs for what you want to use for the rest. But that didn't sound like it.

Excellent news! I'm eyeing a few of the boards, but will have to wait until the drill template is back in stock.

Right, yeah, it looks very different. I assume it's due to one being just a variable resistor going to ground, while the other is a voltage divider. Thanks!

The Fire Red Fuzz I was converting somewhat in the direction of the Ultrastoner is progressing. I first tried to get both the high and low pass to similar frequencies while keeping the 22k resistors, which mostly worked, although it's not the Ultrastoner stack anymore. However, the two positions...
