Profs teaching seem to be a little "out of touch"?

"How do you do, fellow kids?"

I recently enrolled for a second Bachelor's degree part-time as a part of my "mid career skills upgrading", and I find that some of the profs teaching the mods seems to be a bit blur with regards to their subject matter. Is this normal?

Comparing to my "original" Bachelor's degree when I went for undergrad studies in 2006 at another local uni, I feel like there's a noticeable change in teaching quality. I find that YouTube and ChatGPT/Gemini AI aids me more in understanding the topic at hand than the actual profs teaching. Or am I just "too cool for school"?

My dream cordless soldering iron, but one thing stops me from using it properly...

...the screen doesn't rotate, and there's no button sequence/setting to rotate it.

Champagne Socialist Hasan Piker is trying to go after MorePegasus, a Singapore-based reaction/commentator channel.

I'm not sure if people already know this but Hasan Piker, an infamous Twitch streamer who supports Hamas, was sponsored a trip to Cuba (allegedly by the Cuban govt) and electro-shocked his dog, is trying to go after MorePegasus, who is based in SG. Interesting that he thinks he can get the SG govt to go after MorePegasus.

If Hasan visits SG (he does say he is considering to visit SG), I think ICA would just let him in, wait for him to start a broadcast in SG, then go after him and deport his arse.

How do I use the 3 seashells on the Ramrod

I've recently been contracted for work with DRG as a Reclaimer but I'm not sure how the toilet works, it's a bit different from my last gig. Does anyone have any idea?

Swee Heng no longer accepts Visa/MasterCard payments

Sign of bad times ahead? Or just administrative work to use a cheaper payment provider?

▲ 3 r/R36S

Out of curiosity I decided to check the CID value of one of my 64GB cards that came with both my R36 Ultra or RX6H game console (I ordered 64GB for both, and I used a green paint pen on one of them to differentiate it), but as it turns out, the card's manufacturer seems to be a pretty recent and reputable, assuming the CID is real. As I had bought the consoles in July/August last year, I am inclined to believe it is real, since the production date does precede my purchase date by about 6 to 7 months, which is an interesting data point on how the supply chain works at AliExpress.

It might be a binning process that led to this card being present in R36S clones, and I've yet to test the actual read/write speeds, but so far it's been behaving nicely. I don't think I'll use this for my phone/camera/dashcam, but I can definitely use this for my "non-critical" stuff like my Raspberry Pi and the R36 Ultra/RX6H.
