07:54 PM aandrew: I'm able to get *some* parts
07:55 PM aandrew: I really want like 250 STM32F411RE but they're unobtanium, and all hte graymarket sites just have stupid prices, $52/ea
07:55 PM aandrew: I have 75 STM32F411CC but some of the team is scared of 0.4mm BGAs
07:55 PM Tom_L: need any mega32u2?
07:56 PM aandrew: they want me to use ATSAMD51J and holy shitballs is that toolset godawful. I mean mplab was always a dog but they managed to crap it up real good
07:56 PM aandrew: Tom_L: unfortunately not
07:56 PM aandrew: need a bit more giddy up and go
07:56 PM rue_mohr: how about a marvel processor

07:57 PM rue_mohr: do you NEED the getup-and-go or can you offload all the work to a 74HC00 ?
07:59 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/boards/new_batch/USB_chips.jpg
07:59 PM Tom_L: maybe a few more than that

08:00 PM rue_mohr: I told him about them being unobtainium
08:00 PM aandrew: I am going to have to start keeping my work stash in a gun safe
08:01 PM rue_mohr: I have 3 drawers of stm32s :)
08:01 PM Tom_L: i'd have to look but i'm pretty sure i have those left
08:01 PM rue_mohr: I had a feeling quite a while ago the end was near
08:02 PM rue_mohr: whats with all the raspberry pi chips I keep seeing on twitter?
08:02 PM Tom_L: better stock up on alot of things
08:02 PM rue_mohr: too late
08:02 PM Tom_L: ships can't get in port cause nobody's there to unload them
08:02 PM rue_mohr: even resistors are starting to get stupid
08:02 PM Tom_L: food, tp etc
08:03 PM aandrew: yeah I bought reels of standard resistors and caps, plus whatever I already have. the stm32 shortage is shitty but I'll weather though
08:03 PM Tom_L: we're all in the same boat
08:03 PM aandrew: got two freezers of food and plans (only plans and some basic materials) for hydroponics for some of the leafy veggies
08:06 PM Tom_L: they advised if you want christmas get it now
08:06 PM aandrew: hm?
08:06 PM rue_mohr: aandrew, how long did your last ali package take to arrive?
08:07 PM aandrew: they were pretty zippy if I remember correctly, under a month
08:07 PM aandrew: I've had some things take a week, others take 3 months, it's all over
08:07 PM aandrew: right now trying to get some glass spheres (spherical lenses) for an experiment
10:25 PM rue_mohr: haha I bought myself a 10 pack of beadboards!
10:26 PM rue_mohr: I completely forgot, its like christmas
10:26 PM rue_mohr: and narrow 28 pin dip sockets
10:26 PM Tom_L: :)
11:08 PM rue_mohr: It looks like I can adjust the new version of firefox in a way that seems ok
11:08 PM rue_mohr: so, that just leaves me with the kompozer issue
11:12 PM aandrew: does that mean I can stop using imgbb now?
11:19 PM rue_mohr: no
11:20 PM rue_mohr: I cant upgrade firefox till I have a gui html editor to replace compozer
11:20 PM rue_mohr: or a docker image for it
11:52 PM rue_mohr: so
11:52 PM rue_mohr: the arduino I used on the new 3d printer, doens't come up when the usb is plugged in
