Yes and that's BAD. You're the most corp-simping distro around, maybe you always have been, but it's obvious that these companies are literally evil and they still get thank you messages with love hearts from you folks.

@nprofile1q... Huh. I'mactually reading that slide as showing they can control the phase to compensate for the temperature changes, not that they're using the temperature too control the phase. Maintaining a nice stable 80ps despite introducing temperature fluctuations, then showing how when they turn off their script the phase follows the temperature again.

I think! 🤔

My kitchen had cheap vinyl tiles badly stuck on top of an older lino/vinyl floor. The vinyl tiles were both horrible and very damaged. Unfortunately the lino under was also damaged quite badly partly from the glue used for the vinyl tiles.

One day I got annoyed with it and just ripped it all up, and underneath were the original (probably, 1920s) dark floortiles, the type that contain asbestos but which are fine as long as you don't go breaking them apart. They look *so much* better!
