--- Quote from: Cerebus on July 17, 2022, 05:11:47 pm ---...You seem to have this unfounded belief that the English criminal law is something handed down from on high by the elite to oppress the huddled masses. It isn't, most criminal law in England and Wales evolved as Common Law, based on precedents set in the trials of ordinary people for the actions they took towards other ordinary people who had brought the matter before the courts for adjudication.

I probably didn't explain my thinking very well; sorry.  :-[

Not English criminal law specifically; but the change in direction of lawmaking in general over my lifetime. I'm pretty sure you've noticed the resumed tendency for laws in general to reinforce the Golden Rule rather than any real form of social equity. Also the general trend towards an ever-tightening net of laws which as an aggregate tend to criminalize poverty.

I guess I thought it was only so egregious over here; examples like these show to me that this isn't just a "Corporate States of America" problem but rather a "Human beings and Humanity" problem.

At least, that's where my thinking was going. :-//

At this point I'm going to drop the subject, as it is definitely dipping toes in the Politics mudpuddle.

Ok 465 done. There were three issues:

1. Inconsistent trace height and drop outs. This was the usual channel bandwidth leaf switches that needed cleaning. Fixed - cleaned.
2. Probe indicator for channel 2 being wrong. This was the also usual resistor shorted to the CH2 attenuator casing. Fixed - bent back out of the way.
3. Delayed time base trigger edge switch broken. Decided not to fix this for now. As usual it's on the corner so got dinked. It's sort of normal on these. Can't win everything.
4. Chasing ghosts because the Siglent probe I was using is apparently duff already (ffs)

Apart from that it works fine!

Reminder of before:



And now:



Main tools used were a microfibre cloth and some kitchen spray  :-DD

Edit: forgot nudes:

Dicky bandwidth limit switch:



Stupidly placed resistor after unshorting it - they moved it slightly in later models:

Wrong in almost every important respect. It is unlawful for someone to park on your driveway(tort), it is not unlawful to have said vehicle moved on private property, but becomes illegal the moment on is on public property unless one is properly licensed to do so or is a bailiff acting under court order, or anyone acting under the directions of a police constable or traffic warden (RTA), ...............

There's the law and what you can in theory do, such as suing someone for damages for parking on your driveway, and there's the practicality of doing this in  a timely way and gaining just redress.

There was a case a few years back of someone who parked a car on a private driveway, in some port, I think it was Dover. They had permission to park on the driveway at an address in the street, to avoid the ferry port parking charges. The problem was they parked at the wrong address, causing the householder immense problems, as parking was tight in the street. I'm not quite sure what happened, but it didn't seem a simple matter of calling the police and having them remove the car.
