Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other projects or weird thing in the cart with it. It doesent have to be hobby electronics with soldering and all that but bonus points if it is.

Firefox just released a new feature where you can copy a link without tracking stuff in the URL

Oh dang, that'll save me a bit of time stripping that stuff out. It's amazing how easy it is once you have just a little bit of understanding of how URLs work. My most common URL hack is getting youtube shorts to play with full controls. You just replace /shorts/[videoID] with watch?v=[videoID]

I used it today to go through this video frame by frame to discover that she in fact didn't hit her face:

On desktop you can use , and . to step through the frames.
