Somehow as a society we’ve come up with a real black and white view of disability. You’re either able-bodied or completely disabled, no in between. This does not match reality. Many wheelchair users can stand and walk in a limited capacity, for example.
Unfortunately this leads to misinformed people casting moral judgments upon disabled individuals who don’t act “disabled enough”. Hopefully we get over that misconception some day.
@machine2918@lemmy.world here are some links for that kind of thing:
Blind != No Sight. It’s possible they have low vision. They do mention an assistive magnifier in a comment on that post. Still more challenging than a fully-sighted individual, and would take a lot of practice. All too often though people assume blind means no sight at all.
Jigs are going to be your friend. I’d also recommend a good articulated PCB vice. I’ve seen some 3D printed ones, or you can buy a Panavise if you’re a millionaire.
An easy-ish way to solder one-handed would be to use stencils and solder paste. The paste can hold components in place (weakly tho) and you can melt the solder either with a standard iron, hot air reflow iron, or even a soldering hotplate or oven. The hotplate and oven will be limiting though because it will reflow the entire board and will more or less limit you to single sided component layouts.
Alternatively I have used this goofy grip in the past. It takes a lot of dexterity though!
I was coming to say the same, lol.
For fun: Count the fingers on each hand in each panel.
I went to that last year! I was somewhat disappointed. It was a bit more burlesque than circus for my tastes. Also there was this extremely long clown act that was the least funny thing on earth. Still, the other acts were good. The juggler was my favorite part, and the magic show was great. These are my takeaways tho, YMMV. I hope you have a great time!

I’m upvoting but I’m sad
Do we have an equivalent service on lemmy.ca? (I don’t know anything about net security and am just curious)
Last year I saw a 70s rock anthem retelling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream. I cannot for the life of me remember who put it on though.

Just blocked them, thanks for the heads up 👍
Strange, it always worked on my desktop. I think I fixed it, but apparently I can’t tell lol.
Hmmmmmmm, yeah. I made that on the desktop, but I see it doesn’t work on Boost. Even when I try to “Open in Browser”. Copying and pasting into Firefox Mobile works tho. Weird.
It’s more than a day later, but I will see if I can fix it anyway lol.
you should post this to the vexillology community
Edit: Fixed the link. Missed the https:// bit which is super important for mobile. Sorry gang.
If you paid someone for Windows and still had the activate message then they ripped you off.
While some softwares have free versions, unactivated Windows isn’t that. Free versions are typically feature-limited, or serve up ads to cover the cost. More importantly they are intended to be free and offered as such. Unactivated Windows is a paid product that hasn’t had the proof of purchase (product key) applied yet. Microsoft has hitherto been lax about enforcement, at least against non-enterprise users, but it is still against their terms of service to continue to use Windows without providing a key.
Like, sure you can get it and install it for free, but that doesn’t mean it’s a “Free Version” in any official sense. If it was indeed a free version then they wouldn’t pester you to activate, they would clearly state it’s a Free version, and the activate watermark wouldn’t be there.
This is digging deeper into my youth, so take this with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure older versions of Windows were different. I remember having to provide the product key during the installation of Vista way back when. Before I ever saw the desktop. This is when Windows came in a box from a physical store. Nowadays with online purchases it makes sense to provide a level of computer functionality so users can access the online store.
That’s not exactly the same as them offering the whole OS for free. That’s basically a trial version. The “Activate Windows” message is stuck there and it will bug you with reminders to activate all the time. Their intent is for you to purchase a key from them. Any other method to remove the message and activate Windows that does not involve paying them money is against their terms of service.
Saying that’s Windows offering the OS for free is like saying you can get free books from a library if you just don’t return them. It goes against the intent of the service.
I don’t know all the details, but you can buy Windows 11 from them still. An “upgrade” from 10 to 11 may be free, at least that’s what the world’s most annoying pop-up was telling me before I switched to Linux.
You’re forgetting piracy. I didn’t buy any parts with OEM licenses. Granted I went grey market for my Windows 10 so I paid someone like $20.
You have to completely tear up the road for those usually, and that takes more time and money. They might have needed to do something similar for these, but it almost looks like they’re placed there. The guy at the end did say they’re looking into planters at least.
