That's really cool to see. I have a GCP and I haven't yet modified it, but I'm tempted to do this. I've cross-posted to /c/ece@lemmy.world :)

I haven't had Stumptown beans in forever, but they're great. I've had Hair Bender & Founder's Blend, both of which I would recommend. I haven't tried Homestead yet. Do you adjust the temperature of the water at all when dialing in lighter roasts? I've heard higher temps can lead to better extraction for those.
Is it possible to have a relative link on Lemmy for posts and comments? I've been able to link to local communities with the /c/community@lemmy.world notation, but when I look at the same post on two different instances, the ID in the URL is different, so I'm not sure how to link a relative path to a post (or to a comment).
Thanks for copying over this list! I'll have to share this with a friend who is starting to work with FPGAs.
Looks fun! Who’s going to post the first BGA rework video? Haha
Took me a bit but from this post I realized you have to search for the community with the full name, i.e. !ece@lemmy.world, in the "Communities" tab in the instance you're in. Looks like I'm able to access it from your instance now: https://reddthat.com/c/ece@lemmy.world
I'm unfamiliar with career prospects for electrical engineers in Sweden, so I'll defer to that advice you have gotten, and hope someone who is familiar can add some helpful information. Perusing through LinkedIn and Indeed could be helpful in seeing what the job offerings are like in your local area. I'll try to add something useful to the discussion though. From what you've said, you seem very passionate about computer science -- self-learning and working in a related field while pursuing a degree in EE is no joke. It would be a shame to abandon that pursuit if it truly is a passion of yours.
Some questions I have that might be helpful to think over:
- What is the process to change your major now? I recognize you're only a year away from graduating with an EE degree, but it could be useful to know what the application process would be like, what barriers you would face with regard to admittance into the CS program now, etc.
- What is your plan after undergrad? Have you thought about pursuing a master's degree in CS? There are options for fully remote classes (for instance, my alma mater has an online MS in CS program called "OMSCS").
- In terms of careers as an EE that could provide more job opportunities and straddle the line between EE and CS, have you looked into roles related to firmware engineering / embedded software engineering?
For those uninitiated and those interested in Smith Charts, check out this video from w2aew. I recommend his channel for all things RF related.
Calling all electrical and computer engineers, students, and hobbyists interested in the subject. Do you have burning questions about the field (and sub-fields)? Do you have a schematic or layout you'd like the community to review? Did you let the magic smoke out? You did, didn't you? That's all fine. Come share your questions, experiences, thoughts, articles, etc. with us.
Oh that's good to know. I haven't experimented much with decaf, but I should give it a shot.
Those B&W coffees look great. I'm eyeing their Esteban Madrid, and about to go into the rabbit hole of coffee bean processing...
I've been meaning to get that book. I've enjoyed Vegan Richa's Instant Pot Cookbook. Also, not a cookbook, but I love the recipes from Addicted to Dates -- the tiramisu is amazing.
Thought it could be fun to get a thread going on what beans we're currently using, maybe with some pertinent details on the brew variables if you feel inclined to share.
This past week I've been using Portrait Coffee's Toni, a medium-roast single-origin from Brazil, roasted in Atlanta. I've been really pleased with the taste of my pulls with a 1:2 ratio. Great chocolatey notes, which is what I typically seek.
It's niche political drama, and it doesn't really affect the development of Lemmy.
I've had Ripple brand pea milk with drip coffee and it was okay, I can see how the taste might be off-putting for some people though. For espresso I will pretty much stick to oat milk (Oatly Barista, Califia Farms).
Welcome to the electrical and computer engineering community. Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or professional, we appreciate your questions, answers, and other contributions to this community.
Yeah, local subreddit and former college subreddit. Fun community, I'm sure something will be formed on Lemmy as well.
