We're in the top greener booth and I'm chatting with Kyle Meglin and he's going to show us USB-C receptacles which I think is much more interesting than that sounds, right? Sounds good. So over here, we're top greener like she said. We started in the USB market. We have the largest amount of configurations for USB and wall products. But what we'll do is start here with our triple USB port. This is your standard USB-A port. You get up to 5.8 amps of charging power, 2.4 amps per port and then you also still get to keep your two AC outlets. So it's really great for families who have lots of devices charged but not a whole lot of space. So then I'm going to talk also to the audio only audiences, what we're talking about is not something that plugs into your outlet but replaces your outlet, correct? Exactly, yes. So this one we're looking at here has the two standard power ports but it's also got three USB-A and what are these here? So these are just your standard AC outlet just for plug it in, yeah. Getting confused by that. So can I ask you how big that is back behind it because you do have to have I think a little bit bulkier, bigger box area. So they're actually not too much thicker than a standard receptacle and they wire like a standard receptacle as well. So you don't have to have any specialty wires, a neutral wire is a problem for people with older homes but that's not an issue here. And really in terms of space you should be absolutely fine. Okay, so this is adding three USB-A ports. Yes, absolutely. And then what else you got? So then we move down to where we have a couple of different configurations that include USB-C and so what's great about USB-C is a lot of new phone companies, you know, e-readers, tablets, even some Macbooks, that's an example of one that's moving into the USB-C space. So that's just great. It provides you a combined six amps, three amps per port. So you're going to get a nice fast charge out of there. So you can charge a MacBook Pro out of a three amp port? Well, no, not quite. So we have a different model for that. So this is where it gets a little tricky. This is maybe more phones at this point. Yeah, exactly. Phones, tablets, things like that that don't require a whole lot of juice or oomph I guess. That's my technical word for it as well. I'm a mechanical engineer and I never got that stuff. Yeah. Okay, so moving on. So then we come over to here. This one is actually our prize possession. This one, Wirecutter's best USB outlet of 2018. So you get your standard USB-A port, 2.4 amp output, and then three amps in the USB-C. So that's kind of like best of both worlds if you have old or new devices. And so moving on from there is where it gets really technical. Oh, I see it. I see my favorite two letters, PD, for power delivery. You got it. You know, you should do this for a living or something. I don't know, really. I should. Right here, this is one of the first ones that we came out with. It has Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. And so what's great about that is that we actually work with them and it's certified. So you know you're getting the product that you need. I like certified when it comes to my electricity. Absolutely. And all of our products are UL listed, FCC compliant where it's necessary. So really you're getting something that's not going to burn your house down. So power delivery, so can I do my MacBook Pro in that port? You cannot. Never. We're so close. We are getting closer, I promise. Teasing me. Teasing me here, Kyle. Yeah. So but power delivery is great for newer phones. It's just a more efficient way to charge. Okay. So the one we're looking at right now, that has a standard outlet plus the USB 3.0 and power delivery. You got it. In USB-C. You got it. All right. So we lost one of our ports, our power plugs, our receptacles in order to get both of those. We did. But we're coming back for redemption with the newest version. These two here are going to be coming out in mid-2020. I heard May, but don't quote me on that. I don't want to be liable. But so what's great about this is it's the same exact thing except here you're getting the second AC port. Okay. So we've got two AC ports. We've got power delivery. Now it's saying 30 watts though. Oh yeah. So we're bumping up the power on that one. So what we actually are doing, a lot of the power needs for USB-C, it comes into the laptops. Your typical laptop or like I said the Mac was an example. The MacBook. Mac looks like 65 watts. Yeah. 60 to 65. So actually right here in this one, this is where we're moving into serving those people. This is made with gallium nitride. It's new technology for us. It's just a much faster and more efficient way to, I guess, harness power is what we're going to say. But so this is actually 60 watts. So you can. 60 watts. And it even says gallium nitride on it. It does. Yeah. So that's for our people who have a whole lot of devices and you don't need to brick. You don't have to lose outlet space with your big old adapter. Right. So we've got two power outlets. The AC power outlets. We've got power delivery at 60 watts. And quick charge 3.0 at 27 watts. You got it. That's crazy. So those last two are not out yet? They're not out yet. But they will. Do you know what your price point's going to be on the last one? Oh, that's a good question. So pretty much they all start from anywhere from $13 up to $35. But since these ones are such high output, I'd probably say it's going to be in the $40 range. But I don't have to sell a kidney to get it. You can if you want to. But I wouldn't advise it. I'd have a lot of change left over is what you're saying. Yeah. Absolutely. And then you could just buy more. Very good. Yeah. So I could read you the name of this, but it's got a whole bunch of letters and numbers in it. So where would people go to find out more about these fine products? So you can go to topgreener.com backslash 2020. That's where we'll have all of our information, our online catalogs. And then from there, you'll be able to go to the store, browse our products. If you're not a fan of buying online, paying for shipping, you're a prime member. We also sell on Amazon. Very good. We'll be getting my Amazon affiliate links on that one then. There you go. Absolutely. All right. Thank you very much for your time, Kyle. Sounds great.

Kwa pandemi wa kwa nunguye wekhulia, but we must also not allow it to roll back hard-born gains over the 2030 agenda. In 2021, the UN Secretary General will convene a food system summit as part of a decade of action to achieve the sustainable development goals. Within 10 years remaining, many of the 17 SDGs remain out of reach. A good proportion of the world, 690 million people got bed hungry. Over one in every three people globally are obese and these numbers are increasing. Some of these people are right here in Latin America. But I want to assure you that in our food systems also lies the opportunity. There is consensus that transforming our food systems offers one of the single strongest opportunities we have for food security, for nutritional security, for human health, for climate and for our environment. The UN food system summit is working to raise global awareness, deepen our understanding of the problems we must solve, build consensus and set a course to radically change the way we produce, process and consume food. To make this happen, the summit will mobilize innovative ideas, partnerships, multi-stakeholder dialogues to understand and work with the inevitable trade-offs that we will face. It will be a people's summit and a solution summit Because everyone is part of the food system, we are looking to get all ideas on the table and to ensure action is on and driven by different actors. We will need each of you to engage from your own countries. We need Latin America to engage on issues that are most critical and pressing for Latin America. We will need each of you to determine the food system you want for your future and to act to make it happen. We must do this understanding fully well, our place in the world and that what we do as individuals impacts on others. I look forward to working with you on this summit process. Together we can build a world of inclusive growth, environmental sustainability and social justice. We can build a resilient world where no one is hungry and no one is poor and no one is left behind. I thank you.

I've seen a couple teams we're taking off the board, so if needed, I can always R&B, or sorry, not R&B, a pack filler up, the remaining teams, number. But if you want a full spot, that gives you an opportunity to win a St. Nick promo spot by grabbing a full spot in the break. Tyler Freeman, Kevin Alcantara, Nolan Gorman, Quinn Pryster, we add a Thad Ward to 600. Boston Red Sox, and then we got Nick Bitzko to 75 for TV. Daniel with Tampa Bay.

Clayton Beter to 75 for the Dodgers. That is Kevin. And last hit of the break is Daniel Cabrera to 600 for the Detroit Tigers Raymond with that one. Solid guys and there you go. That was the break. So solid hits guys. So I guess a couple of customers were right. Some boxes didn't have three autographs, but on average for sure you always had two. Christian Hernandez was a nice big prospect right there as well. Heston Kirstad was nice. So I'm not really big on the prospects, but I didn't know some of the bigger names of Santana. Honestly, Martin base was really nice. Luis Rodriguez though redemption. Zach Vien was pretty awesome. The Luis Rodriguez blue color match can be a pretty big one too as well. All right, Justin Fosco. Really solid guys. Nice stuff here as always. So again, let's switch scenes and let's give away those St. Nick promo spots. Again, only the customers that bought it straight up. So I had the list right here. So you can see Zach, Kevin, Daniel, Robert, Brian, Ryan, Martin, Steve Birch, and Zach. You guys are not going to be part of the promo, so that's why I took you guys off on this side. So it's just the 21 customer names here. And let me quickly fill in the spaces really quick. So that was the perks of buying a full spot. That should be all right there. And again, top two get a spot. Roll it. Two and a two four times. Good luck. One, two, three, four. Boom. So there's four. And again, from three on down, sad times, but thank you guys. One and two are Robert G and Eric. Congratulations. Eric had the Kansas City of Rose. I don't know if I called your name. And then Robert G had a couple of teams. Pretty sure I did call your name, but there you go. Boom, top two are in. Let's paste you guys into the list randomizer here or the promo list. And then we'll call this 2021. It'll be Bowman Inception PYT number one. And there you go. So far we have 28 promo spots done. By the end of the night, guys, if we can do another spectra, that's two. We can do an impeccable. That's four. Maybe a second impeccable, five, six. We can pretty much be halfway done with the promo by the end of the night. And then of course, have another 32 left to go. So let's get those done, guys. Really appreciate it. Congratulations to the winners. Let's try to get that impeccable rolling, guys. That was like the next closest promo break. So if you guys browse the website, you'll see that spectra's down to six and we're down to five and three left. Five and three left right there. So let's get those rolling, guys. Jaspy'scasebreaks.com, appreciate it.


We are here today in Spinbaldak, Kandahar. Immediately to my right is the border with Pakistan. IOM has a reception center here where we welcome undocumented Afghan migrants returning from Pakistan. Each day this border sees as many as 25,000 people crossing back and forth. It's one of Afghanistan's busiest points of entry. IOM is present here since 2016 providing humanitarian assistance to undocumented migrants. Migrants are registered, referred for humanitarian assistance. In addition to that, IOM is carrying out cross-border surveillance for COVID-19. We're referring to local health authorities at the district hospital here in Spinbaldak town. COVID-19 is still a major issue here in Afghanistan. We have large numbers of people arriving every day. They are not adhering to public health protocols. COVID-19 funding in Afghanistan is coming to a close later this month. One of our major concerns right now as IOM is ensuring that there are new resources available to ensure COVID-19 response can continue.


Look forward to getting out on Sunday and seeing what this defense with all the changes and it's been made and how they perform on Sunday. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to it counting down the hours, counting down the days right now, I'm excited for the guys.  I mean, we push them, I'm excited to go out there and see them cut it loose and play and hopefully things we emphasize show up and looking forward to it. Liza earned the starting slot role. Yeah, I mean, we'll see how it goes. I think between him and Chris, we'll see how it plays out as the game goes. But I mean, he's done a good job. He's done a lot of good things. So he'll be out there. So a lot of coaches talk about a team learning how to win almost like there's some sort of indefinable quality that serves you in late game situations. Do you think you guys have that and what sort of makes that quality? Yeah, I think I think it comes down to culture, the mindset, being able to be at your best in the toughest situations, being able to respond to adversity. I mean, every game's close in this league, as you guys know, regardless of who's playing who, and I think being able to play with that kind of composure, have the confidence from winning those types of games before I think that carries through, hopefully it continues this season. Your DBS have talked about stepping up and challenging guys. Is there a difference when the game is happening and it's third and four to stepping up and challenging those guys as opposed to being off, which has been a habit here for a while? Yeah, no, I mean, that's been our something we've been focusing on all off season. I don't think that changes, I think, based on the call, based on some things that you guys are seeing or we're seeing it can affect that. But at the same time, we're going to be aggressive, we're going to challenge. I guess it's been our mindset. That's what we've been working on, that's what we've been preaching. So that's just not going to go by the wayside. Have you seen it now in the field some, how do Bud and Harold complement each other? Yeah, I mean, I think they're two different skill sets. Bud's a big, strong, athletic dude, explosive. Harold's more probably quicker, a little bit more bendy, right? So different skill sets, I do think they complement each other well, just based on what kind of Harold does versus Bud. Like Bud's got the ability to power through guys and brings all that element to his game.  We talked to some of the guys yesterday, some of the defensive guys, and they had mentioned we just, we want to come out and be a different defense, obviously, this year. What do you stood out in the preseason, maybe in training camp, that you saw that actually come into fruition a little bit? Yeah, I think the energy, I think they were competing, playing and play out, kind of back to what Paul said. I think they were challenging, again, I tell them all the time, they get paid too. They're gonna make their plays, they get paid too, but we gotta make them earn it. We can't just give them anything, we gotta make them earn it. If you get beat, we gotta freaking forget about it and we gotta play the next play, right? I think that goes back to confidence, understanding kind of what the game is, how it's played, played and play out. But I'm hoping to see just the energy, the passion for playing defense, having fun, and at the same time, understanding the situations and the emphasis that we've kind of harped on all offseason. I think the process in getting Bud kind of ready to play and based on what you've seen from him, you feel like he's ready to kind of hit the ground running? Yeah, I mean, he's been out here in terms of mental reps throughout camp. He's been doing different things. He's been able to get mixed in on different tempos from all the way since we started camp, he's been doing different things. So I think mentally he's there. I think physically he's been able to do stuff these past couple of weeks. So I mean, I'm excited.  You wouldn't know he was coming off an ACL, right? So I'm excited to see him go on Sunday. I wanted to get into Niko to work with some of the outside linebackers going individually. Yeah, I think just the versatility of him, like he can play a lot of different spots for us. Whether it's inside, whether it's outside, depending on the situation, like you've got to get him prepared to do that, right? So we've got to be able to put him in those situations and individual work those techniques and individual. We can't just ask him to do something without him working on it. And then in the reverse, we had Weaver sometimes bumping inside at three seconds. It's very similar, I would say the weave stuff is probably a little more pass rush oriented, right? So it's a little bit different in that regard, but it is the same thought process is you've got to be able to work the technique and fundamentals. It's a lot different being on the edge, Russian versus being inside and Russian is night and day, the skill set it takes, the guys you're going against from a tackle to a guard to a center, like totally different mindset. So I think being able to work those things, work those techniques and being able to almost transition their mind to, hey, I got to do this. Now that I'm outside, I got to be able to do this. Now that I'm inside the process, like in trying to find the right rotation for guys, you know, to rush the quarterback from outside.  Yeah, I think now that we're into the season, it becomes a little more game plan based on who we have and their skill sets, based on who they have and their skill sets, trying to find matchups always, but again, you never want to take away from what a guy does well, right? Like you want to put him in position where he's going to be most successful, right? And there's going to be times they're going to be asked to do different things just within the scheme of the defense, but you don't want to overdo it to the point where you're putting a guy in a position where he's probably not, you're not going to get as much value from him there as you would somewhere else just to say you're being versatile, right? Like with the quarterback group you have this year, you're maybe in a position to go into a game and say, well, this guy best suits this receiver. And so we're going to play him on the outside of the slot versus in years past or may have been, well, this is our left guy and this is our right guy. Yeah, I think based on how this thing's kind of played out with the nickel situation, the corner situation, we got some versatility there. We got some different skill sets, some guys that can do both. So by game plan, how we match up or whether we don't match up, I think there is some versatility to change these guys around and align them in different positions. Well, there's first, second down, whether it's third down to get us in the best position to play the pass, obviously on third down. Picking up on what Jim said, you had said during camp at some point, third outside linebacker comes in, you can't have any kind of drop off. You feel like you're equipped to do that now? Yeah, I do. I feel like we're getting there. I do. I feel like we got guys that can go in the game and us not miss a beat. Guys that we can count on, I think the consistency of those backups has improved across the board. And that's the one thing, you always, with the backups, they're 15, they're 20 snaps that they get. Like, you don't want to see a drop off, but more importantly, you want to see guys that are going to go in there and do it the way they're coached, the way they're supposed to within the scheme. All right. How shall we prep it for a UB like Murray? Stop, man.  He can make all the throws. He got a strong arm, and then obviously the athleticism, the elusiveness, I mean, it's a challenge. Like, we're going to have to be on our game. It's going to take everybody, every snap. Like, it's not just one guy. We've got to be detailed in what we're doing. We've got to be coordinated in the run game, in the pass rush. Like, there's a lot of things that go into it. And I think, ultimately, every guy better understand who he is on every single play and what he can do to us on every single play if we're not coordinated. Consider maybe putting a spy on him? Based on game plan, how this thing goes, potentially. I mean, we'll see where it goes. But potentially, I mean, we've done that in the past with some other quarterbacks, right? So I mean, you always have the option to do it. So we'll kind of see. How does that process work, you know, that pass rushing process? Their communication, like how do you kind of like layer it where, you know, like one guy's deep, one's here and, of course, that kind of thing. Yeah, so based on different things that we see on film, ultimately, we have a plan going in, right? To how we're kind of going to handle that, whether we're running games, whether we're straight rushing and trying to balance and stay coordinated in that regard, we kind of have a plan going in with that. T does a great job coaching those guys up on making sure they're playing off of each other. I think that's important, like, on inside and outside. Like, you've got to be able to see color and play off of them. We can't have two guys in the same space. And do you have a lot of space and freedom for them? OK, if, you know, I'm just going to naturally make a move here and you've got to clean up this way, like that natural play there's absolutely stuff that comes into it. I think knowing who that guy is that has the freedom versus knowing who the guy is who doesn't have the freedom based on the play, right? You guys played your starters, most of your starters, you know, a fair bit in each of the preseason games and a lot of teams don't even do that. I guess what was the reason for that? And do you think that'll help you going into the regular season? Yeah, I think just getting these guys playing, right? Like, you're playing defense. You've got to be able to tackle. We've got to be able to get lined up. I think the communication aspect of it was huge for us, doing it under the lights. We got a bunch of new faces, guys playing together for the first time. So I think that played a part in getting them out there, getting them communicating and doing those types of things. But hopefully it pays off where it's not the first time live bullets on Sunday. They got some comfort level going into the game. Hey, we've done this already a few times. Like, it's time to go. Tyler, Jeff used the term yesterday.  Is that essentially, is it essentially keep them hemmed in? Don't, don't. Exactly.   If we go fire in, like, there's a chance we're going to miss, right? Like, so being able to kind of corral and control a guy without shooting, there's a time and place for you to take your shots. But at the same time, there's a time and place to make sure we stay on our feet and kind of try to slow them down a little bit, where it's not make you miss and go 70. Like, you know, for a DC plan, you know, for this week one for the whole off season, a lot of space for what you've seen from them in the past. Some uncertainty about what they could do, what they could throw after the December. Yeah, I think always week one, man, like, you never know. You really never know. I mean, they've added some pieces, obviously, in the draft and in free agency. So that's always, you never really know how that's going to play in terms of their game plan and everything else. So I think the biggest thing for us is we've got to be able to get lined up and we've got to be sound. Like, we've got to know what we're doing in every call, no matter what they give us. Like, that's defense, right? Offense, granted, they see some crazy stuff on third down at times, right? But for the most part, like, offense, they have their rules too. But defensively, like, you've got to prepare for everything. Like, you don't know, right? So I think being sound within your rules on every single defense is critical. No matter what they come out, we should be able to get lined up. We should be able to play.


Hello everyone, this is Amit Don of AmitDon.com Today I will have another episode of Chromebook Tips and Tricks video and I'll talk about how to find ad sign on your Chromebook If this is your first time here or a repeat visit Thank you for your support. On this channel I'm always trying new and different ideas If that is something you're interested in, please visit for more If you're only interested in Chromebook videos, there will be links in the description box below So it sounds very simple how to find ad sign on your Chromebook and even I had trouble when I first had Chromebook It just looks simple but it might be a little bit confusing So if you look at Chromebook keyboard, you can see that there is ad sign or ad button right here So let me just bring this little closer But if you press it, it's not going to give you ad or even if you just press it with let's say Alt or Ctrl, it's not going to give you the ad sign on your document So I have a Google Doc blank page which I have right here and let me show you So I'm going to just press ad which is right here and you can see that it's bringing two and if I press let's say Ctrl, ad it's just opening another page and if I open Ctrl, ad then it's not doing anything So the way you can have ad on your Chromebook is to use the Shift and ad or which is the two button at the same time So let's just take a look at it again So here is we have Shift and here we have ad So here you press the Shift and then you're going to press the ad or which is the same as number two right here and then you'll see that button but it looks like it's pulling up your email addresses or other stuff related to ad So what you can do is just hit the space button which is right here and then here you have your ad button So that's how you get to choose ad button on your Chromebook and again use Shift which is right here and the ad button or the two button they're saying simultaneously Thank you for watching this video There will be more Chromebook videos coming up So I'll see you shortly Thank you


a manager called his own artist music trash on a public forum. As a matter of fact his artist music was so bad to him that he sued him over it. We're gonna talk about what makes music objectively trash or objectively quality. Can't you really check some boxes to determine one or the other? This is a court case by the way. In my opinion this could dictate a lot of things coming up in the future of the music industry and we're going to tell you why you should be threatened by this as an artist. If you don't know what we're talking about we're about to get it to it today on this episode of No Labels Necessary. Let's get it. We made a post about it on No Labels Necessary Instagram. Make sure y'all follow us during the conversation on IG if you aren't already. But in a lawsuit against Chance the Rapper, Pat Corcoran, Chance the Rapper's ex-manager alleged that Chance only took five months on his debut album, The Big Day, and this resulted in poor commercial performance with the bulk of the music being primarily freestyle driven. The lawsuit called it a freestyle driven product of sub-par quality and a complete deviation from the meticulous writing process that brought Bennett fame for his wordplay and wit and cited multiple incidents of Chance ignoring Corcoran's management advice which allegedly led to his firing. We'll stop right here. First point, it only took this man five months to create your project and you put it out there and it's not good. You didn't really put that much time into it. Let's get straight to the artist rebuttal. We're going to talk about it. Rush D says blueprint was made in one session as Jay-Z's blueprint. Legendary project. Johann Lennox, shout out to Johann, another artist, said great albums have been made in a couple of weeks.  There is no rules to art. It can take 15 minutes or 15 months to make a masterpiece. An anonymous source sent us a DM with a link to top 10 music albums recorded in a very short time. Machine head, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath's project Black Sabbath. According to Tomi Yomi, it was recorded in a single day and the session lasted 12 hours. It was mixed the next day. There you go. It's crazy. Kind of Blues by Miles Davis. It was recorded in only two days on March 2nd, 1959 and on April 22nd, 1959. One of the best selling jazz albums of all time and one of the most influential albums of the 20th century. Led Zeppelin, self-titled Led Zeppelin. According to Jimmy Page, it took 36 hours spread out over several weeks and we're getting into fishy territory. That's weird. Are y'all literally clocking in when you create your project? I don't know, man. Why y'all doing that? Ramones, self-titled Ramones. There's a pattern here. Their debut album was recorded over seven days and it's also a very influential album. Bob Dylan, self-titled Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's debut album was recorded in two days. Come on. We could keep just going and going and going. The time period does not seem to be something that makes and breaks whether he put the right effort in or not or whether it's quality or not. You said five months, there have been greater albums that have been created in shorter periods of time. Yeah. I'm sure there have been terrible songs that took a long time to make. That is a good point. People have worked hard on bad music. I'm sure they have. However, I think the idea of essentially clocking an artist in and that way where you say, oh, it has to take this period of time and it has to have all of these specific circumstances does take the artistry from being art to assembly line work as if they're in a like legit traditional job. And that's just not what it is. Yeah. So I want to play devil's advocate here a little bit, right? And I would say if I am this artist manager and I have been your manager for a good portion of your career, I think it's fair to say that I have picked up on nuances of your work style, your work cadence and wet bags you do really well in versus wet bags I would prefer to keep you away from, right? So Pat even said in this post, he completely deviated from the meticulous writing process that brought Bennett fame. So if I'm a manager and I'm looking at man, for as long as I've been working with you, the best work that has come from you was the work that took you X amount of time to produce and actually sit down with and work on. And then you come and give me something that is outside of that timeframe, less than that timeframe.  I'm gonna be a little nervous, man. The artist will make the point of art changes and I could be trying something new and you could be wrong, right? And I could make the argument from the managerial side, the business side of like, I could be wrong. But historically, history has proven that I more than likely won't be, you know what I'm saying? And not in every artist's case, but in your particular case, because if you took the same argument to like a Lil Wayne album, you know, like Lil Wayne is an artist that is and even Jay-Z, somebody mentioned Jay-Z, right? Jay-Z and Lil Wayne were both artists who built a name for themselves off of being able to make really good songs really quickly. Like that was that was Wayne's whole thing for like five years in a row. Like, yo, like, look at me, I go in the booth, seven minutes, I'm out. Two weeks later, the label got it. A month later, it's a hit. You know what I'm saying? That was that was his whole brand. But if you're not an artist that's cut from that cloth, you can't expect us to be as favorable towards it because you have never done anything or maybe never done anything, but you haven't done enough to possibly prove it. Or like I said, I'm looking at where your best works came from. That part is fair in terms of this argument. Like the best way he framed that was following it up with saying this was a complete deviation from the meticulous writing process that brought Bennett to fame for his work place. So I'm only holding you to your standard and past behavior. Exactly. Yep. He has some sensible argument there. I'll give him nothing. All right? That is there. With that being said, Taj Keen, for example, shout out Taj says when you are a true creative, it takes time because you have to live through your music. You have to change and a few months isn't enough to reinvent yourself. Sounds like Chance was just uninspired though. So what if you are forced or tasked with dropping a project and you aren't inspired yet? So you are putting out music based on your skill set, but you aren't putting out music based on your authentic expression because you have nothing to express yet. Yeah. I feel that. I feel that. That's a good point. Somebody else said conspiracy Nick said there are phenomenal albums that were created in less time than that. However, those projects included some of the greatest producers, writers, etc. to ensure that albums were quality products. Those albums don't sound like they were made in a month or less. They don't sound like a lot of them don't sound like that. Right? But what does that really sound like? Right? The big day literally sounds like it was created the way the manager said it was. It was rushed, half-assed, no thought, not cohesive, etc. It ruined his career. The success he had leading up to his album may have doomed him low-key as there wasn't really any pressure per se since every project leading up to it, including features were fired.  Now look. All right. Now there was a mouthful said there. Obviously a lot of people just don't like the project. There are a lot of people who feel like something's not hitting. I felt like it was cohesive personally. I didn't think that that was the issue. I had some issues with the project in terms of that versus what I had liked that I heard in the past. But cohesive wasn't one of them. As a matter of fact, if they were just like, I don't know, nine songs that I liked and it didn't feel cohesive, then I wouldn't be too worried about it. Right? It was just like, well, shoot, I'm still listening because I got songs that I like, but I do love cohesion the best. Five months kept. Sound like bro freestyle it all the same day. All right. So look. That's disrespectful. That is. This person said the black album was recorded in three days. I haven't heard that. But like again, this just begs the question. As an artist, all right, like, should, how much influence should your management team have on you? If you have a business, all right, and things have to keep moving, how much time should you be able to take in between projects? All right? And if you need to take more time, what does it really look like to build your business around that? Because there's so many things that a manager might be seeing in terms of your career that you might not be giving them credit for it. They could be acting in what really seems to be your best interest.  You don't care about the art. And it's like, no, I care about the career that protects and supports your art that could be the direction that the manager was coming from. But at the same time, there was somebody who said, well, this person, like this project in some way sounds like it was heavily influenced by the manager or restricted by the manager who is not an artist. I didn't like that quote, because they said not an artist. They should have said not the artist. You don't know Pat's background. He might have some musical background. Like it's about your project. Because just like T-Pain talked about these other artists who he shouldn't have listened to or if he did listen to them, it wouldn't have allowed him to have a career he had. It's not about being an artist. It's about being the artist and this being your work. And you ultimately being the person that this relies on not letting any outside POV artist quote unquote or not to affect you. But I think that's those two questions, right? How much should that business influence in the manager have? And then how much should the artists keep that out? And I think that's a balance that everybody has to find. Stop what you're doing. We got to interrupt you to let you know you can win $20,000 dollars by submitting your music to 2lost.com slash collab for the crown. We're looking for the best songs and we're partnering with 2lost.

To your point, listening to it doesn't feel like a rush project from a quality standpoint. I think now that I've heard it out loud, I lean more towards Taj's comment. It sounded like he was uninspired pretty much. He was in a different place than he was when making the other albums. Now if you think about what this post is saying and it sounds like they were going to have some internal issues behind the scene, then that would make sense to me. That's better. I don't know man. Uninspired sounds kind of wowed of an accusation for a project that he made heavily around his wife in a relationship.  But I do like more the idea if you and your management team are at odds, you were probably drained. Less uninspired and more drained. Any artist that goes through the process of litigation or, and it's not just an artist by the way. We make things artist specific. Anybody, when you're going through processes of like you're dealing with legal battles or you're dealing with just the house not being in order, you know fighting going on at home, it takes away from the output you're able to put into your right work creative or whatever. And if this was going on, they were already at odds for one reason or another, which probably was behind this project and had other things involved. But they know when it comes to the legal battle, this is the only part that can be considered. Right? So that's not the whole story being told here. I guarantee it. But when you're going through those moments, it can be really hard to creatively feel safe and put out what you need to put out. Yeah, man, that's why artists got to start talking more, man. Like they let, you know, too many people like us control the narrative. Because there are times where you will hear a song and hear music and yeah, you'll think like, oh, they rushed it. They didn't care. I don't know. They got with the wrong team.  He didn't put it into words and the music.  So maybe they their ear shot and they didn't hear certain things where they would have heard if they made it before they went on tour. Or, you know, you can hear that the artist was tired by the time they got to this point. You can hear that, you know, there have been times where like I've known artists personally and like I knew what was going on in their real life and you hear a song and you can hear you can hear that thing reflecting back in the music. And that a lot of times doesn't get considered when fans are critiquing the music because they don't know, you know, like this is even this, this is information that came out well, like two, three years after the album came out, you know, so now there are people who might give Chance Bennett for other dollars. Oh, maybe, you know, maybe this situation is what caused you to produce the output you put out. But, you know, it's like, where was that at the time at the time? It probably been a little bit more impactful if Chance came out and said like, hey, this is the way it is because I was doing X, Y, Z, there probably been a lot more empathy for him in the narrative of the conversation with the change, especially at that time when he was like King, Andy, you know what I'm saying, like he couldn't do no wrong at that time. Now, he could do some wrong, you know. See, I think with something that you said made me realize this, your life is going to go into your music and we period talks about I'm going to live life, right? Get these experiences, evolve, reinvent myself and put that in my music. Well, you not doing that will get put in your music. And sometimes life gets put into your music the way you want it to, through the words or this intentional expression. And sometimes it gets put into your music in terms of what's not there, the mistakes, the lack of lack of attention to detail and what that symbolizes is another piece of art, right? Sometimes art doesn't have to be beautiful, right? It shows the art that is still a symbol of that time period in your life where I was like, damn, there was that fight that I had right there. There was that day that I had to leave the studio before I even had a chance or my my my kid, you know, was in trouble at school and I had to leave whatever, whatever went on like that resulted in the outcome. It's there, right? Whether you like it or not. And that's just something that I guess most numbers every artist should be aware of because people are going to react and whatever that looks like people are going to rack and most of them aren't going to look for context to the thing they're reacting to. Yes. They're just going to say trash. It's going to be binary. Yep. Yep. It's like King of the Hill. Yep. Yep. Yep. And I do want to leave it on this. I do think sometimes working through that is a sign of a higher level artist because tell us what made it hit someone with a cold. Now, you know, I don't know if that was a stress cold. Those do happen. People get cold from being stressed out. It's a thing. Look it up. I swear on everything.  I don't know what kind of cold it was, but either way, she might have hit someone with it. I ain't no colds. There's different levels of stress and circumstances. Colds are stressful, bro. Yeah. Sometimes that can just give you a tonality that you're not used to having and actually working your favor. I'm not going to put that in the same category as real problems. But you know, Taylor, you got that. This is yet another episode, No Labels Necessary, podcast. I'm Raymond Sean. And I'm Corey. Oh, yeah. Peace.


Okay, let's get started. My presentation title is let's calculate with math using math type and Mathematica. Who is use some math type and Mathematica? Oh, thank you. A little bit. Okay for my I'm Koji and Nora from Japan. I love a Neo4j graph database and and I love LivreOffice. I'm a Japanese LivreOffice team or one of the LivreOffice team and I love coffee. And today agenda is Listen, what is LivreOffice math and How do I calculate in math? Who is calculate in math? In math? Okay How? I want to know Now I used to LivreOffice 7.4.1 and math type for Windows or Mac and Mathematica. Okay Really So basic things math My LivreOffice experience I have been using a calc writer and in-press Almost every day, but I'm a newbie to LivreOffice math Math is just a formula editor. Maths do not calculate Yeah, and But save two formats Okay, one is .odf. Other is an XAML 2.0 Like like this. This is XAML 2.0 All Documents a safe format Okay, and my question is how to Calculate in or with math Or and how do I calculate sigma in math or how? I try to use Just OLE OLE is object linking and and Vending objects You can use formula in calc in-press or other application How do I calculate with math? I do not want this solution just formulas are imaginary and Calculates performed in calc This example is formula scale root X Almost the same calc command SQLTX Okay, next is Sigma same as This one scale root Just image only this is a just object and Calculate in calc. The formula is this one sum From k equal one two three two k Now calc is just just a sum But I do want to this this solution Okay, like this OLE object in calc like this You can you can call You can input This object math object from calc or other application, okay, but Okay, this I like the human readable format It's easy to understand sum from k equal one two blah blah blah So easy to understand Next Liberious mass to mass type oops mass type is formula editor like math Download is just three types of download of math one is Microsoft add-in program and Second is mass type for Windows No Mac And mass type for Google work place a workspace three types of type of just a download I use mass type for Windows it's It's like a mat it's easy to create the mass format a mass type a save format is here from One two three four five from dot EPS to dot g is gif Liberia of its mass Save but only two formats dot ODF and MML so Format is different, but our mass type format imported to leave their office write writer and calc used by Windows metafile dot WMF just Just a big picture and I try to use Mathematica From a mass This is a Mathematica super simple command screen It's easy. This is a pie Pie 60 lengths of pie is just here this is a sick command of a 60 length to pie and and This one is good solution Out is here Okay And see Sigma likes here Some to K and K comma three just Just it and answer is 12 This is a Mathematica command Line so much magic on the mass command Okay, the pie 60 is here 60 lengths 3.1 for some some some blah blah blah and By on 15 lengths is the same as Liberty of Sculk Answer Just 15 lengths and this is a command Liberty smart is a percent pie, but it Both commands are So similar Mathematica is here Some to K K Commetry a liver smart is here some from K equal one two three to K so Oh Okay, it's it's so easy to Easy to move move other another command so I'm trying I'm working on a pp is combat command between Matica Mathematica and mass And I want to know who knows a good solution Mathematica and mass or something Application and mass Do you know a good solution Please tell me I'm now working on Creating an a pp by Python or a little bit short Good Okay Thank you Just just to say that it's a really in interesting Attempts to indeed Combine the the formula at editing with with calculation Somehow to get it started and and you work with Python to start converting you said That's interesting. Well, maybe there are indeed people that can give some hints there Yeah, do you have some kind of prototype already? Not it now, but In next next month Okay How to Open or how to download My Application which which site do you know? Yeah, yeah, publish Or my site Yeah, yeah to download Yeah, thank you. Oh, thank you for birthday


And welcome to Desk of Lady Aida. Hey everybody, and welcome to the Desk of Lady Aida. It's me, Lady Aida, and this is my desk, and it's Lady Aida O'Clock. It's time to check out some of the stuff I've been working on. It's been a nice weekend, so Mr. Lady Aida and I have been outside a little bit more. I wear sunscreen, so you can't tell, because I burn instantly. But I did get some samples, and I was poking through them. So I thought, let's kick it. Let's show it off. So let's go to the overhead because I can show off some of the stuff I've been hacking on. So number one, Espresso sent me, well, samples everywhere. Espresso sent me some ESP32 S3 modules that have four megabytes of flash and two megabytes of PS RAM. These are not even released to the public yet, but they kind of slipped me a couple of wheels. I mean, I paid for them and everything. They just sent them to me a little early, which is awesome. So this is the ESP32 S3 Feather, and the silk screen on this one says eight megabytes of flash, but I ran another set of these boards that say four megabytes flash, two megabytes PS RAM because it's really hard to tell which module you have. So I made a new version of this tester. Hold on, let me reboot this board. So this tester, but I rewrote the code and everything for the four megabyte flash, two megabytes PS RAM. I actually didn't think I was gonna get the module for quite a bit. And so I went ahead and I made the QT pie and the Feather with the current ESP32 S3 without the PS RAM. But that said, I think I'll still stock both versions because I think that there's times where you're like, I really need eight megabytes of flash and that extra storage. And there's some times you're like, no, I really need the PS RAM. And I think it's a good trade-off. So we'll probably have both. So this is the tester. Put the board in and I hit the button. I put the board in here and hit the button and it goes through and it flashes the test code and tests all the pins and verifies that the PS RAM is in fact there. So that way, as long as the tester doesn't get mixed up, people get the board that they expect. And we'll also have a little guide. There is a marking on the module that you can look on. So they go past in a couple of seconds, 16 seconds. And then I'll do the QT pie as well because we also got the chip. That one doesn't have a lot of space on the silkscreen. So I'm probably gonna revise it and just tell people like, hey, here's what to look for to know which one you have. And then of course, I've also got the TFT version. I never did the S3 version of this board even though again the module would be identical because I was like, if you're gonna have a display, I feel like you really need to have the PS RAM because you're gonna be like buffering display stuff. I figured like I was gonna wait and so I waited and so I'm gonna also do a version of this board with an S3 because I think people really like our little all-in-one screen. And then if you wanna do like Bluetooth or dual core, I think it'll be nice and handy to have the S3 with a PS RAM. And then I also have that reverse version of this board too. So S3 stuff is going good. S3 is still, remember it's not stable yet in Arduino or circuit Python, but I wanna get the hardware out there and then see where we go. So that's the board version. Oh, I also got like this is a sample I'm testing. So this is a sample, it's a USB cable that tells you the voltage and current. You know, we actually stocked something like this already but that got discontinued. I'm noticing, you know, part of the chip shortage is I think a lot of companies are discontinuing products and changing products. So I'm seeing a lot more like this is no longer available. I gotta find another version, alternative, whatever. So it's definitely a party. So this is one sample that I got. I do like this one. There's also I think a version that's USB-C and I'm gonna try to get that because it'll also show you the voltage and current with USB-C, which I think would be really handy for when you're trying to figure out like did my PD USB-C thing work out? So this sample is one sample that I approved. I'm gonna unplug it, bam. Okay, so that's that. So this ESP, sorry, the ESP32-S3 feather will probably try to fabricate that this week. Next up, this is actually a Mr. Lady Aida request. I got these cool wire, like super skinny wire LEDs. People are using these for like models. I know we have like those wireless LEDs, but sometimes people make models and they want to have like little LEDs and like they don't have space for the wireless ones, but you know, maybe you could use ones that are wired. So here these are skinny and they use wirewrap wire and they have an 0805 LED. And I'm just going to, I have a little board here that I can power it from to show you. So it's just a surface-mount LED, soldered to wires, but you know, it's super bright and it would be great in little models or like wearables and stuff where you just want like a tiny little LED and this without a resistor. So of course it's like super heckin' bright. And then let me see, I've got, that was the cool white. Oh, this is pink-purple. So let's look at the pink-purple one. We talked about pink-purple LEDs last week or two weeks ago. So let me grab one of these and test this out. So I'm going to test all the colors and then I think I'll stock these because you know, it's a lot of people don't have the skill to solder an SMT LED. Oh, these are beautiful. So you can see that. I don't know how clear it is that it's just a nice purple color. Oh yeah, that came out really nicely. So these are nice pink-purple. So yeah, I think you saw these originally in like a bonsai tree kit. And you were like, oh, we should totally stock these. So I think, I think this will be handy for some people. So that's another demo, starting with a sample. Of course now I've got this like wire wrap LED spaghetti going on here. Hold on, let me try to clean this up so we can photograph this. Oh my goodness. Oof, hold on. All right, I think I'm going to give up. So you got a couple other colors. You got warm whites, blue, and I think this one was purple. So you got a couple different colors and then of course it's pink-purple. Okay, so then I just got like a couple more samples. I'll show off and then we'll go into the great search. And you can let me know if there's questions and stuff. I got some transceivers. So one thing that we stock live is ultrasonic modules. And they look like this, where they have a transmitter and a receiver and they have a little chip. And the chip is like, there's like an all-in-one chip that does it, the RCWL9600 or whatever. There's like ASIC chips that'll do the work. And these are really, really cheap. So we sell this, I think this does the standard like parallax style sonar transceiving as well as Yort. And it said it does I squared C, but it doesn't really, although I have to figure out if I can get it to work with I squared C. And then I was like, well, you know, the MaxPotix sonar modules only have one sensor. So I thought I would get some of these, like RX and TX ones, like the ones that can do both because, okay, hold on, let me show you. I don't know if these will have the markings, but for RX TX style sonar, like they come as a pair and hold on. They'll actually say, I think it's on the back. They'll actually have a T and an R on them to tell you which one is the receiver and which is the transmitter. Whereas this module is apparently can do both. Although I've never built my own ultrasonic transceiver or like a distance sensor, but I can't imagine it's that hard because like again, you know, Parallax was doing this in like the 90s with like a PIC microcontroller. So I'm sure that I can do it with a, you know, SAM-D09 or an AT-Tiny running at 20 megahertz. So I thought this can make a nice stomach QT board because I was thinking like I could solder a standard sonar into like an I squared C adapter, but maybe it's like, I can just drive this directly and get the reading and then I wouldn't have to do this like conversion from pulse width to I squared C. It'll just read it and then just give you the I squared C data measurement. Cause I would like to have an ultrasonic that has I squared C and I would like it to be small. Like it would be cool if it was, you know, if it like fit on like your standard one by 0.7 I squared C stem like QT board, right? It would just be like one transceiver. So maybe, I don't know. You saw help make it I squared C. Well, this would be just an all in one, you get all in one chip. So like it would just program a chip to do it. Cool. But I have to learn how to do that. I've never, I've never actually done this. I mean, it's like, I know I have to drive it and then I just have to listen to the echo and it's like 40 kilohertz or just like, again, it's nothing, but I don't know, do I have to have a special, do I have to have an H bridge for this? I don't know. Like how much current does it need? Can I drive it from two pins? Can I just set up like a timer? It's a little bit of a mystery to me. So I just got these modules in. So that's cool. If anybody has any links to somebody who's like DIYed it, let me know. I also got this cool super fun button mixed bag. So the company that I buy some buttons from, I have a couple of companies I buy buttons from because like they're, you know, you need to have multiple suppliers and they're very generic. So they had like a sample pack.  And the reason I actually was interested in this because I wanted, I use these right angle switches and a lot of boards, but I wanted a tinier one.  But it's like, well, instead of just getting like a sample of those, I was like, why don't I get their sample pack because then I'll just see all them.  So, so this is a sample kit of buttons. So the only button that I was really interested in was this one, but I'm thinking that I might stock the whole thing, you know, in the shop so that people who are prototyping designs or they want to like compare buttons. Cause you know, there's one thing to say, oh, it's a three by three millimeter by six millimeter button. And you can like visualize it and maybe even measure a button until you have it in your hands. It's really tough to know if it's gonna be, if it's gonna work out for you. Okay, this is ice blue. Okay. And then, oh, so then let's go to the computer. I'll just show what that button is for and then we'll move on. So the reason I want the small button is this is the Feather M480 Lager that I've just been delayed on finishing. I have, what's funny is I have the chips for this. This is Samdi 51J20, not 19. And so I actually have extra J20s because I bought both, but like only the J20s shift. And so I wanted to replace this button because I really like having a button here. I thought that would be fun, but I don't like that it's kind of in the way of this standoff hole. So I wanted a smaller little button. So I thought, you know, maybe this tiny side switch button which I think will work great would be a good alternative to that one. And so I wanted to get a couple samples so I could redo the PCB. So that's that. Okay, so that's my sample Sunday. Any questions before we go on to- Let's do some great search. This is a great search. The great search brought to you by Did You Key and Ada Freer. LaData User Powers of Engineering every single week to find the things that you need. It's tough to find things because it's a global part shortage. LaData, what is this week's great search?  And then I went to like, oh, I'm like trying to find some chips and stuff that I want to design with. And now I'm back to alternatives because I'm seeing like the second wave of part shortages where I believe that there are parts available but they're not being allocated necessarily. And so, you know, we have a lot of parts that we've ordered and the lead times are still a year. And now I'm actually seeing them stretch out to two years.  And, you know, it's a MOSFET, you know, it's like, hey, most generic common thing, but it has 89 week lead time. And so there's a lot of parts that are again, common that are hard to get. We got a bunch of shipments but it might be a while until we get our next shipments. So this week's, the great search is about the AP2112K3.3 which is our like super favorite low dropout regulator. We use it in like everything. We used to use the MIC 5225 which is also still a great regulator. And we use that on a lot of boards. The AP2112 has very low dropout and also can do 500, 600 milliamps of current easily from up to six volts. It's, you know, great. It's very stable. It doesn't need a bypass cap. It's a great little regulator. And once we started using it on our boards, like our feather boards, for example, all use the AP2112. We're like, well, like instead of stocking, you know, it's cheaper than the MIC 5225. We don't need that 16 volt input for all our STEM IQT boards. Let's just move everything to the AP2112. That makes manufacturing and stocking easier because we only had to stock one LDO. We've really only used one LDO for pretty much anything that needs to be 0.3 volts. And that's totally awesome. As long as you can get that part, which we can no longer guarantee. And we use a lot of them. I go through over a thousand a day of this LDO because it's, again, used in like everything we use in all of our breakouts and our feather boards. So we're not out, but we're worried that we might run out before the next shipment because what we're seeing is you'll get a ship date and that date will start getting bumped and bumped and bumped.  You're actually not gonna get to August and then it goes to November and then it goes to January of next year. And so we needed to find something alternative that I could, you know, to have as a backup so that we wouldn't be like stuck because the regulator is good for up to 500, 600 milliamps which we definitely need for like our feather ESP32 boards. They can use a lot of current. So all our feather boards, I wanna keep that regulator but for our breakouts, we don't need 500, 600 milliamps. A lot of them can get away with 50 or 100 or even less, very few even need more than 100. Most of our sensors are very low power. You know, they sip power and low quiescent currents is not that important. As long as a dropout is low enough and it's pin compatible, it'll work just fine. So today what I'm gonna try to do is find an alternative and one that has a lot of stock so that I can get enough that, you know, in stock it so we can keep all of our STEMIQT boards in stock and let our AP2112 sit for the feather board. So it's like maybe if we divide the stock up, we won't end up using a thousand a day because we'll secure that, you know, hard to get part for the boards that really need it. The boards that don't need it will use something that's a little less capable but hopefully about the same price. So that's the story. But definitely like when I saw that, you know, our purchaser would be like, hey, we need an alt for this. I was like, oh goodness, I gotta do this immediately. So, because, you know, again, we use a thousand a day and if we went out of this part, like we pretty much grind to a halt. So let's find an alternative so Adafruit can stay in business. Okay, so the part that we're talking about is the AP2112K and yes, it's out of stock.  They might be a little bit more in October. If I need a whole bunch, I'm looking for, you know, maybe 6,000 come in October but I'm not gonna get the rest until 2023. Can't wait that long. So again, I use about a thousand a day. So let's look at this. So again, this is a 3.3 regulator, lead time 80 weeks, exciting. But let's find something that's similar enough. Again, the quiescent current isn't that important to me and the current output's not that important. We just have to keep in mind the dropout.  Again, the current we're using is so low, it doesn't matter, but it does have to be a low dropout. I can't use like an LT117 with like a massive one volt dropout. It's just, I need something very light because sometimes you'll give it 3.3 volts and you want about 3.3 volts on the other side. So it's 3.3 volts output. It's a one fixed positive and I want it to be active. I want it to be surface mount and it should, I want to enable, but I'm not 100% sure that that isn't another name as well. And then the reason I'm not picking the supplier device is because thought 25 is the same as thought 23.5. And I think like sometimes the package names are kind of like, you know, they're split between them. So I want to be able to make sure that I can select all the options. And again, output current is an important quiescent current. PSSR, they're all going to be about the same. And then protection features, I'm not too worried about because almost all of them have the same features. Okay, so the output input maximum, I do want it to be at least, well, let's just say five volts, but it can go up, you know, to whatever. But definitely it can't be less than that because I definitely need to have all my boards take five volt input. Then for the package, again, there's a lot of thought 23s, there's thought 25, thought 25, thought 23.5, thought 23.5 DC, there's like a huge number. So I'm going to try to select all of them and try to do my best to get all the different names. So the thought 23.5s, I got those. And then also the thought 25s, that's another name. That's the thing that really you got to watch out for. I think they might also be called SC74s. Yeah, SC74s are also the same thing. Again, this is a tricky thing because you want to get any package that's compatible without getting the ones that are not. Okay, next up, so the current output, I don't want anything with less than 100 milliamps out because I just feel like if I'm going to get a regulator, I don't want to have to, some chips want to, you know, have 100 milliamp peak like, you know, the VL53s, actually those use a 2.8 volt, but like there are some sensors that use, you know, they can have a little bit of a spike in current, let's see, some of the light sensors, especially because they put a burst of IR out. So I think 100 milliamps is my minimum. I really want something that's in stock right now. So, which takes it from 1,000 to 100. And then the dropout is, you know, dropouts are kind of calculating a weird way because they're like, it depends on the output of the regulator. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to check that on, you know, the board itself and see what's up. Okay, so the next step is I do want to kind of try to keep it to about the same price. And the price I pay for the AP2112s on DGK, I think is like about 10, 10ish cents, maybe 12 cents.  I can't afford that because the boards I'm putting them on, they need to be affordable, they need to be low cost. I just need a basic regulator. I don't need, you know, the end all be all. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to look at the combination of the price and stock numbers. So again, I can't really go with something that's only 6,000 pieces in stock because like that's six days. It's not worth it for me to do a revision if it's only six days worth of stock. So I'm going to look at as the ones that are like, ooh, like 192, like that's, you know, if I use a thousand a day and I get 190,000, that takes me to the end of the year. And so I can at least float my current inventory that long. So let's look at the AP2002K, which actually sounds kind of great because it's like similar to the AP2112K. It's a smaller, let's see, it's this one. It's fixed. It has a higher voltage input. Usually that means the dropout's a little higher. It looks like it is a little higher, but it might be okay. The quiescent's also a little bit higher. Again, not uncommon, but it has the overcurrent, over temperature and reverse polarity. So let's look at the data sheet. So yeah, this is a standard, regulator has pretty low LDO. One thing that I will say that just to watch out for is it does have a bypass pin. So the regulator I use now does not require a bypass pin, either has some built-in capacitance or it's just stabilized or it's compensated inside. So the only thing to watch out for is this, if you don't, if I'm using it in a board where that doesn't have that bypass cap spot because no board currently exists, has that that I've designed, I just want to make sure that it's not, it won't go unstable and the noise isn't going to be too high. So you can check through the data sheet because they will have higher noise. That said, the higher noise might be the same as the current regulator I have and as long as that's true, I'm good to go. Another thing to watch out for is some of these regulators are not stable with ceramic capacitors. I've seen that. I've seen some that are like, they need high ESR capacitors on the output, which is like really tricky because you think like, oh, like lower ESR is better. Yes, except when that extra resistance adds a little bit of delay, a little bit of stability to your regulator. So just make sure that it can use ceramic caps. It's unusual these days to not see that. But you can like Google for ESR. Looks like here they're actually like lower ESR is fine and there's no stability. And then sometimes you can search for ceramic. If they don't mention it, then it's probably fine, but true. Yeah, they don't have anything about electrolytics. So yeah, this looks like it'll probably be just fine, stable with ceramic caps. So this is one option. But again, want to watch that noise, see what that's like. The rest of these, there's not that many. Then there's this one, the AP7380. So that one has 120,000 stocks. That's a good option. But I didn't like this high voltage dropout. So the voltage dropout is 1.5 volts, which is like way too high. I need it to be, the other one was 0.4 at 600 milliamps, which means it's gonna be like 50 millivolts at 100 milliamps or so. I could deal with maybe again like 0.2 or whatever, 0.3, but 1.5 is right out. So not gonna look at the AP7380. The next one that has a lot of stock is this one, the AP7354. It's a little bit more expensive. Now we're getting into 17 cents compared to eight cents or whatever. But this one is 150 milliamp output. Very low quiescent current, which is kind of impressive. And the dropout's okay, it's 0.35. And this one, let's load the datasheet. This one doesn't need the bypass cap. So it's maybe low noise, that's pretty good accuracy, range up to 5.5 volts. This is also probably a good option. I think for this one, the AP7354 and the AP2202K, I would just check the noise and the dropout and compare it for like about 50 to 100 milliamps. How does it compare to the AP2112K? It could be that for some higher current breakouts, I would still stick with the AP2112K because like I know it works, it's good at the higher output current. But for like a BME280, it's cool to swap it out. It really doesn't matter what regulator you use, all of them are gonna act the same. And I would just do a revision. And until I get another gigantic shipment of the regulator I'm looking for, I would just swap it out. I'm starting to do more of these dynamic swaps. Definitely like MOSFETs I can't get, diodes I can't get, I'll just find the equivalent part that has the same specifications. Swap it in, I'll just make a revision note, but I won't necessarily separate the stock because if the part is really equivalent enough and it passes test it won't, it's not gonna make a difference in a regulator like this. As long as the noise is within reasoning the dropout's about the same, again, you're not gonna notice much difference for low current uses. So this time I'm gonna try to get through this part shortage being flexible and creative. So those are the two chips I recommend. I think this one probably is gonna be a better fit, but I'm gonna get some samples of both and try them out. And that's great, Church. Okay, a couple questions. Yeah. QSNTS means? QSNTS current is how much current the regulator itself uses. So even if the chip that's powering doesn't use any current, there's always gonna be some power used by the regulator itself at all times. What is voltage dropout? The voltage dropout is the difference between the input and the output. There's always gonna be some difference. You want it to be usually very low because that means that you have a wider input range of valid voltages that will give you a stable output. Okay, and those are the questions. Okay, okay. So we'll see everybody during the week. Lots of shows, lots of content, lots of things ahead. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. We very much appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing all things you share together. I'll see you during the week. Bye, everybody.


Place your bets now as to how many of these I'm actually going to finish. Do you have faith in me? I don't know. Hello my loves, welcome back to my channel. Today we're going to be chatting about the series that I am hoping I'm going to finish this year that I really want to finish this year. So if you've been around a long time you'll know that a big goal, particularly last year, was to finish a lot of series to get down how many series I'm currently reading because I have a tendency to read the first book in a series and then never continue. Okay, I don't know why. I would like to defend myself but sadly that's the truth. No no why because when I read sequels I love them. I don't know what's wrong with me. My goal this year is just to have a net negative with series so just to finish more than I start which sounds easier than it is because I already started two series this year and finished none. So I don't know how well we're gonna do but yeah I thought it'd be fun to do a video just chatting about the series that I'm hoping, fingers crossed that I'm gonna finish this year. Actually six are ones that I'm hoping to finish and four are ones I'm hoping to get up to date with. They are ongoing series but ones that I want to like get caught up with. So I think without further ado let's just get into the first book. So the first series that I want to finish I actually don't own the Second and Third book yet but it's a series that I finished at the end of last year and I just really want to like get it gone you know like it's the kind of series that I want to read quickly. Bare Town by Frederick Beckman is the first book in this series. I believe the Second and Third are us against you and the winners. We're at this ice is it hockey? I think it is hockey is that the the sport?  Yeah we're in this town where hockey is this big thing it's like this ice that a town in Sweden I'm pretty sure. The town's hopes and the town's happiness very much hinge on the hockey team and the particular like I think the teen boys hockey team is doing very well and then an event happens which obviously Snopsis doesn't mention the events so I don't typically but they kind of divides the town and divides loyalties and it was just a beautifully written book I thought all the character studies in this were amazing because this this series has a lot on like emotional connections between people and what have you I do want to kind of finish it this year so I'm hoping to get my hands on the Second and Third book soon and tick it off the list. Next is the Forgotten Women series by Jing Sheng so I have the artists and the scientists left to read I have read the leaders and the writers so these are non-fiction books telling the stories of women throughout history that have been forgotten I have spoken about this many times but I love women women I love women and women's history and I think it's something that's very important that we learn about so these are these beautifully illustrated non-fiction books following these women and it has about maybe three pages about them every single time my favorite one was the leaders as much as I love obviously authors the writers for me was a bit like one note do you know what I mean so I'm hoping that the artists and the scientists won't be because what I liked about the leaders was that there was a lot of variety in what the people were involved in whereas the writers that felt like everyone was kind of doing the same thing so I'm hoping these ones will be have a greater variety but yeah I just think this is something really important to read and I would like to finish off the series they are really quick reads they're all like 200 pages long but obviously they have these illustrations in them I mean look it's so beautiful I always think the artists for these do such a good job and all the different oh I love them so cool so yes hoping to get this series these last two finished off one that I planned to finish in January but I didn't quite get around to is the Themis file so this is the second one Waking Gods and the one that I still have to read is Only Human I love the audiobooks for these if you're gonna read these I would recommend the audiobooks they are full cast this series I can basically tell you nothing about because I only ever give the synopsis of the first book but like the first 60 pages of the first book like I really don't think you should know much going into this series but it's a sci-fi let's just say a giant I think it's a giant hand is discovered that's made out of materials that we can't make that kind of stuff out of and sciency stuff from there and the whole books are told through these interviews with this kind of nameless figure who presides over everything who seems to have very important connections seems to rank above the president of the United States and even by the end of the first book the plot is so different than what I just told you let alone the second and third this one is so I mean I thought the direction the second one went in was great I really loved the route that went down I thought was really interesting I've heard not as many good things about the third one what I love garbage I've heard not as many good things I'm a little bit nervous about the third one because also you know with sci-fi uh characters are gonna die and I'm I'm not yeah with who's left I'm not sure how I'm interested I'm gonna be so I don't know but the audiobooks are always fun I think the actors act like the narrators oh they put their into it let's just say that like they oh it's so good I think their acting is incredible so hopefully I might actually start this this week I might start this this week and then I can finish a series my first series I'm like yeah another one there's going to be pretty easy for me to finish and I have to do it is the teedragon series I have the tapestry and festival left to read I think festival is the second book but it's a prequel and then tapestry is the third book these are beautiful gorgeous gorgeous graphic novels I'm obsessed with them I well I read the first one I was obsessed with it and they're the kind of books that I just keep saving for the perfect day I'm like oh that is that has to be the perfect day when I'm in the best mood but I need to finish it this year they're just perfect they're perfect and I want to give them what they deserve and not no day is ever the perfect day but maybe for like some kind of readathon I will pick these up if you're getting into cozy fantasy this is the graphic novel that I would point you towards it's that kind of thing we have these teedragons that like help they like grow stuff they'll be booty and we're following different characters in this related to that and it's just like comforting warm cozy I can't wait to one day read these to my future children that's like what I think about I'm reading there I'm like oh my god like imagine sitting down with your future child I'm reading this anyway that's a little bit weird but you guys are so weird oh my god you guys are so weird I know everything is weird okay this next series is a finish it this year or I am DNFing it I'm giving myself a year's note because I sometimes I just when I've worked my brain up to reading a series I don't like DNFing it so anyway it is the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy I never know which of the two I've got to read are the second and third I always forget this is the second Days of Blood and Starlight is the second Dreams of God and Monsters is the third so I spoke about I think what what video was it in was it in my reacting to my year goals was it in my I can't remember what video it was in but I spoke about how I have been debating DNFing this series because I didn't love the first one but I don't know I do love Lady Taylor's writing so I'm kind of hoping I could still get something out of this so I have to finish this series this year or DNF it can I give you a good synopsis of the first one not really Karu has managed to keep her two lives in balance oh yeah she's like an art student and she's an errand girl to this monstrous creature is that brimstone a guy called brimstone yeah and it's like this dark world and doors to different wild style opening I'm pretty sure anyways I have to finish this year or I am DNFing that's the truth of the matter it's one or the other and then the final series that I'm going to finish this year is the Stool King Dripper series I have read the first two the next one I need to read is escaping from Houdini and then I don't own the last one yet what is that capturing the devil yeah I don't own that one yet this is Satan's work yeah this is now the oldest series that I am currently reading that I started the longest time ago and I would just like to tick it off the list and finish it it's sitting there two books left to read it can't be that hot in this we're following Augie Rose and Thomas Cresswell and they've got like a romance and they're solving mysteries in Victorian England well the second one's on England is this one you know yeah this is London these I love the premises premise I of but they always fall a little bit short for me I'm not sure if I love Kameniskako's writing I love her ideas but like elements I love about this they are the star chapters I know this is basic okay I know I'm easily bought but like there's little pictures of stuff at the start of chapters wow I love that kind of thing so I love Victorian mysteries like any kind of murder mystery or mysteries set in Victorian London like that is my kind of thing I love that I was deaf I was very into Victorian history growing up as a kid I was convinced for a while I was convinced my job but I was older was gonna be the I don't know if you have this in other countries but like actors who go around hosting workshops pretending to be Victorian that was gonna be my job so I love the era I think it's so it lends itself particularly well to the mystery genre you know you think of dark grungy dirty Victorian London I should love this and this is I'm pretty sure set on the Titanic right no not the Titanic so anyways I definitely think I'll be able to finish this series this year if I set my mind to it okay so those are the six that I want to finish and then the next four a series that I want to get caught up on this year first is my pride and joy the lady hardcastle mystery series I have read the first five I don't own the next one yet but I'm gonna get them they're only like four pound for Amazon so I'm just gonna get them I love this series I love it I gave the most recent one five stars it was so good I also gave in the market for murder five stars and I think these two four stars and that one are 3.5 but the audiobooks for these they're so good I love the audiobooks for lady hardcastle mystery series so in this we're following lady hardcastle and her maid flow they were once spies together um but now they've retired to the English countryside but they have retired to the murder hot spot of the world basically in the town that they live and they just get up to solving murders and solving mysteries together for the local constabulary is that a word and we read from close perspective the audiobooks the books are so humorous they're so fun they're so comforting and I want to try and read I think there's how many more is there out that I haven't read maybe four I want to try and read them like in around the time that they're set so I think the next couple are set in the summer and then I think maybe the next one set in October so I'm gonna try and read them throughout the year roughly when they're set because this one was set in January and I had a lot of fun reading it around that time so yeah that's the plan I love these I would really like to just get caught up on them reading this the start of the year made me realize just how much I love them and maybe want to dedicate more time I don't usually vlog these because like I'm so deep in the series at this point but it just made me remember how much I love this series and how wonderful they are so yeah the next series is one that I only have to read one book to get caught up on and that is the nighthouse alex stand series I need to read hellbent next yes yes I'm debating reading this next week I don't know don't hold me to it oh no it's a hard book anyways um I don't know if I'm going to a little bit nervous but anyways this is the sequel to nighthouse where we're following alex stern who worked what was she in what university is it again Yale she's kind of in charge of supervising the secret societies there and she gets wound up in loads of stuff and I just love it I love it this is my opinion isley bodega's best stuff more or no six of crows in cook kingdom bit more iconic but this is above shadow and bone this is above king of scars it's so gross I need to read this I've waited so long and now I am holding off out of fear so yeah I might read this next week will I do it maybe not maybe I will but I kind of want to read it while the hype is still there so I don't know but I can't believe that this was originally gonna be like seven books and now it's gonna be a trilogy like Lee how could you do that to us how could you do that to us let's not talk about that because I will get upset oh almost dropped the book next series that I would like to get caught up on is the singing hill cycle by Nevo I don't own the next one yet well the one that's just come out which is into the riverlands I've read the first two and then at the end in September I think this year uh there's a new one coming out I think called mammoths at the gate so I would like to read both into the riverlands and mammoths at the gate this year in this series we're following a cleric called G who kind of goes around and gathers stories it gets people to tell them stories and collates them basically so we're following a different story a little short story each time and I find that this series really is a love letter to the telling of stories and how that's been passed down orally through generations on the different methods of storytelling I always love so I love Nevo's writing and these are very short books so they are not hard to get caught up on and then the final series that I want to get caught up on this is kind of another get caught up on or DNF is the pinch of magic series by Michelle Harrison so I don't own the next couple books in this series but I'm debating not getting them physically and just listening to them audibly this is a middle grade fantasy series where we're following these sisters in this first one you're seeing how they've kind of been trapped by this curse blame assuming that the next books kind of go off in these different directions at the moment I think there's three more but I don't know if that last one is the last book or if there's going to be more in the series I don't know I really did enjoy this like the whimsy the fantasy the sister relationships but I just haven't been picking up the middle grade series that I have started so I do want to try and make this one a priority to get caught up on even if that is just listening to audiobooks and not really the books physically okay everyone that was the series that I want to finish or get caught up with this year let me know how you think I'm going to do I think these are all realistic I think I'm definitely going to finish at least most of the ones that I wanted to finish so yeah let me know down below what you thought of any of these series that you've read I would love to know if you've gotten to the end of the video comment a star emoji I don't know I love a good star emoji comment any of the star glittery emojis down below if you got to the end thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you very soon in another video bye
