@carlinmack lol at "as a person of kink". :)

"You nobles, you sons of my chiefs, you superfine dandies, you have trusted to your birth and your possessions and have set at naught my orders to your own advancement; you have neglected the pursuit of learning and you have given yourselves over to luxury and sport, to idleness and profitless pastimes. By the King of Heaven, I take no account of your noble birth and your fine looks, though others may admire you for them. Know this for certain, that unless you make up for your former sloth by vigourous study, you will never get any favour from me"

@Algot Use Appla!? Why do you want people to put kids up for adoption, you are evil!

A picture of an early prototype for my ROES SWR meter and VNC. I later had to completely redesign the hardware for version 1.0, but the UI is still pretty similar.

This week I hope to add a frequency counter to the design and work towards a v2.

PS: See my pinned post to see v1 in action along with the analog board. The post also includes the v1 Schematic

@Algot I dnt use a landline for exactly that reason. I prefer all my voicemail converted to text too.

@Algot Well if they are known spam then they get autoblocked and it never rings. If they are spam but not reported as such yet then it shows you the text version of what they say in real time. If it indicates a spam call then you can click "report spam" and they will get a recording to remove your number, they are reported to the database as spam and autoblocked in the future. Furthermore since the conversation is recorded if they call you again then they are automatically reported as not complying with law.

@Algot Start using google's phone screen, I love it.

@comphys Here it is fully hooked up to the control board and mostly working, plus schematic

@comphys Here is a directional coupler and VNA board I built on my bench, without the microprocessor bit attached.

@celesteh Good move, the definition was never really the important part of what was being said anyway. So I agree, mostly just a distraction.

@celesteh The specific definition isnt particularly important for the assertion I was making which really just boils down to which of the two groups a person identifies as being in. Which in turns dictates the sort of people they are around and the habits they pick up.

@comphys I already have relatively high end spectrum analyzers and scopes. I even have several directional couplers 3 of which I made myself. The issue I have had with all the directional couplers I used so far is they tend to either not support the power or vary with frequency. I need to give it another go but success has been limited.

@celesteh I am refering to what is generally meant by "left" specifically the definition provided by wikipedia, to quote:

The term left-wing can also refer to "the radical, reforming, or **socialist** section of a political party or system".

@celesteh Correct I am using the definition most of the world uses in general conversation, not a technical term (also the definition provided by wikipedia).

I've been hankering to do some EE work lately... I think I want to do something analog, maybe RF, but what to do....

@Surasanji I dont really give it a single definition. I see human progress as multi-faceted. Just as I dont see intelligence as meaning math or science but includes artistic and social intelligence among others.
