That seems to be a nonsensical generalization. A lot of symbols have the negative condition applied with an X. So if you applied it to "generic dry" it would mean do not dry. But it's reasonable when applied to a subset. For instance, do not tumble dry

It's not just moisture sensing. Modern dryers also use patterns to prevent shrinking in terms of reducing the heat and then bringing it back as opposed to a constant temperature until dry.

Unless the load is very small this doesn't really do much - water evaporates and uses however much heat the dryer can put out. It is only near the end of the cycle where this can make a difference in most cases.

The whole point is that the amount of heat the dryer puts out goes to zero/very low amount for a period of time. So the evaporation stops and the cloth I guess has some time to make smaller adjustments? Then the heat resumes. I don't understand why it works, but I do know modern dryers do it.

No, it means anything they haven't shipped by the end of the day is being cancelled as an order. So I'm guessing they have very little inventory in stock or adafruit is contractually required to buy it back.

"Existing inventory will be sold through while supplies last. Once inventory is exhausted, no additional units will be restocked. We have put the remaining stock on sale." https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/01/12/discontinuing-the-teens...

The question was about Adafruit products on Sparkfun. This answer is about Teensies on Adafruit.

Mind expanding on that?


I'm not the commenter, but I interpret it as:

The benefit that others get by you reaching your potential is greater than the risk to others of you making space for yourself to reach your potential.


There is a clear difference between "I had to kill someone to save 50 lives" and "I saved 50 lives, so I'm allowed to murder one person as payment"

At switching time, the affordable option was compact fluorescents. Which did suck.

In the US, the answer is that exit would have to work in the event that AWS is down or power is out. Some exceptions exist for special cases.

It could also be intentional UX design. Or a result of the keyboard hardware.

You'd be surprised. You could probably get three digits of the square root in under a minute if you tried.

Bad example. IKEA assembles better with a manual screwdriver.

You wouldn't say that anymore if you would have ever assembled PAX doors.

Maybe? I'm not familiar with every ikea product. But it looks like it take a dozen small screws into soft wood.
