In particular: I'm not that happy with either Ardupilot or Betaflight.
Ardupilot is way too heavyweight and bloated, and at the same time does weird things (e.g. autopilot on my counter thinks it is yawing, when there is a compass that should keep it straight).
Betaflight is clean but it only really supports multicopters: So much of what is interesting is in fixed wings and ones that transition from multicopter to fixed-wing.
Plus I want something for students to muck with.
hey nerds! the offspring is looking for a new graphics card for their gaming rig so they can play latest shiny stuff!
with GPU shitcoin mining having been condemned to hell where it belongs, i understand that prices are in the realm of sanity now.
nvidia or amd is fine, just as long as it's the good stuff. a generation behind the latest is fine.
so what's good in the UK for a windows 10 gaming rig this week?
(plz boost, the more suggestions the better. think of the gamer children.)
UPDATE: we're probably going for a 3060, there's some damn fine deals and it should be able to deal with the hipness for a few years yet.

My experience so far here is not terribly different from Twitter, to be honest. I'm here because most of the people I care about moved. But a substantial fraction of my mentions are people interpreting my every word as uncharitably as possible and telling me what an awful person I must be.
When blocking them gets too exhausting, I'll probably just drop off, and you'll have to tell me how awful I am via email or USPS. In person by appointment only,
