Linde is huge. They can produce and offer all gases in all available purity classes.

Is there some reason you'd want gasses in a lower purity class?

(Well, it's cheaper.)


It might be more convenient to purchase pre-blended mixes for many applications. For example 90% argon 10% isobutane. In welding this would be "impure" but for ionization counting it's exactly what you want.

Fire suppression, welding gases, etc.

The only reason is cost. If you don’t need the purity then save the money.

Not only cheaper - but often also "good enough"

Is this an ad?

I don't think Linde™ needs an add, everyone knows Linde™ is the most reliable partner in producing and storing gases in all available purity classes.

(joke off, it's probably not an add, but they were excited to share the reason you see Linde on all sorts of gas tanks all over the place. It's actually quite common and if you see it once you see it everywhere. )


I've never seen Linde ever in my life (Australia).

What is funny though, at least in the Australia and UK regions, they still use the BOC brand, which is a subsidiary under Linde.


Linde was definitely around as a distinct brand in Australia before they bought BOC in 2006, but since then as you said, they now just trade as BOC.

Competitors in the space in Australia include Air Liquide and Supagas.

Supagas tend to have better prices for smaller operators, and hobbyists.


Possibly but also plausible is that its a deep joke that everyone is in on.

When googling the company, the marketing slogan that comes up is "Linde is Everywhere" but that works on so many levels. They sell air, air is everywhere. Therefore Linde is everywhere.

They are a company that sells air: that stuff that people breathe. Forget this AI nonsense. Jensen has to constantly pull something out of rear to keep food on the table. These guys sell air. What a business. :)


This is 2025, everything is an ad.

The company I work pays normal salaries for their PhD students.

That pretty much standard in Germany in industrial research departments.


>The company I work pays normal salaries for their PhD students.

Which is uncommon. BMW used to list their salaries for PhD students, which were fixed at 36.000 a year, which are wages you would expect for working at a grocery store.


I have nich'ed tech blog too. Mostly about self-developed things. Sadly this is the most valuable data source for LLM fuckers.

But honestly: without having an efficient way to fight them crawlers I'm not willed to write for it anymore.

Is there an efficient solution I can add? It lives on a Shared Web Hoster. For self-hosted stuff there's Anubis. Also willed not to use Cloudfare.

A4-sized, 32 layers.. I'd guess something around 1500€ at JLC.


~$320USD each at ALLPCB with a MOQ of 5 for their standard 32-layer stackup, but that doesn't include the blind vias. Probably close to $400?


JLC will not do blind vias for you under any circumstances.


And 44k blind vias...


Being that engineer in a PCB Fab in China who has to punch all the vias by hand

heart attack


Are these pushed by hand? I'd believe if you said it happens in the UK. Fabs are still stuck in the 90s.


Joking.

There are videos from JLCPCB (one of the biggest). That stuff is 90% automated.


bias (even blind) are certainly automated these days. only time i've seen people manually via in the last several years is using a pcb mill, and little copper rivets you could slam thru a fr2 board for quick in house top/bottom prototypes


If the US does less data gathering (balloon starts, buoy maintenance, setting up weather huts in super remote sites, etc.) it will affect all forecasts.

Models all use a "current world state" of all sensors available to bootstrap their runs.

Similar thing happened during the beginning of Covid-19: they are using modified cargo/passenger planes to gather weather data during their routine trips. Suddenly this huge data source was gone (but was partially replaced by the experimental ADM-Aeolus satellite - which turned out to be a huge global gamer changer due to its unexpected high quality data)


As a end user I also want to see the variance to get a feeling of the uncertainty.

Quite a lot of weather sites offer this data in an easily eatable visual format.


That would be great - do you recommend any sites?



Time for some overclocking... 10k RPM.

Stellar Work!


Tune the washing machine chip for aggressive popcorn effect on deceleration, vroooom!


Ehh, you were going to knock out those terrible worktops anyway. It's really saved you a lot of labour.



I guessed rightly what that would be before clicking on it.


Huawei and other Chinese companies laid huge patent minefields around pretty much every modern high-speed radio technology.

If you ever worked in 5G/6G/Wifi/etc. standardization you will quickly see one thing: they know their job.

So even if you rip out all Chinese hardware - you will still have to pay money to them if you replace it with local stuff from Nokia/Ericson/etc.
