med , it is very amazing to see how busy you are with the Tek 535A.
You are a perfect adress for a 517..
@mnem. Indeed. Need lots of cheap threads here. I’d rather like a 32-core 4GHz SPARC64 with 128 hardware contexts and optimised Clang and Go compilers myself but they don’t exist

Oh yeah; I totally have an application for THAT...

I prepared EXPLOSIVE RUNES today.so what do you think he paid for that and did he buy it to sell on ebay? really?

Yeah, but gamer punks with nothing but disposable income are what drive the market in consumer PCs; what's considered "current" for everything "mainstream" trickles down from that market. For the last couple decades, consumer laptop hardware has been driven by the "mobile" versions of those same processors, to the point that rubrik has taken over the laptop PC market as well; nowadays there are essentially "content creator" machines, "gaming" machines, and "corporate/education fleet" machines with very little crossover between the breeds, except for cases where market-wankery has gone completely off the deep end.
It is that factor which creates so much confusion for the average buyer; half of mobile-computing sales is driven by a completely inane/ignorant/incompetent "let's throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" mentality that makes you look at half the stuff out there and say a) "Who the FUCK kept their job long enough to think up this utterly unmitigated POS...?" and 2) Who the fuck signed off on this POS instead of firing that incompetent fuckwit on the spot...?" and ‰) Please, for the sake of all that is good in the world, please tell me everyone responsible has been fired... inside a rocket directly into the sun.

Well, I'm starting down the deepest and heaviest rabbit hole yet for my lab...I'm looking at 8510C VNA systems.
The 8510C is seriously badass though. I personally know of several still in professional service, and it can do a lot more than just traditional network analysis. [1] Radar cross section testing, on wafer probing (using a third party test apparatus that probably cost as much as or more than the VNA to procure), dialectric constant analysis, antenna pattern testing, etc.

Not wanting a lab workstation for content creation, but rather to have horsepower for EM simulations and other heavy duty compute workloads. Xeon, lots of RAM, and Quadro for GPU compute.
Boat? Who said anything about a boat??? I'm gonna need a ship!

Awww... come on over to the AMD side; we have cookies.

Also bagels.

Chocolate chip?
Hahaha.
Ok so I felt sorry for that cute HM307 and bought it
Totally useless 10MHz single channel scope but it has CT and XY features. It'll probably end up as a display for various simple low frequency analogue things i build.
Edit: did i say it was cute. It's cute. That's the excuse

Vern is working on a recipe that has both... *wibble*

Just curious. Did you had to pay any income tax for the DE-5000?
Suspecting that I'll have no luck, and latter proven to be right, I bought just the meter to one seller, and the TL-22 to another one.
Thing is, for now they don't charge taxes for things costing less than €22, the case for the leads, but for the meter that costed around €75, was charged €31 of taxes.
