after long deliberations with my boss he decided I do a write up why I want to fiddle with FPGAs and do some training while on the job.

if we do not train ourselves on our jobs, welll .....
anyway, it seems the bean counters are winning again.
just picked up one of those new fancy CPUs (R7 3700x), stuffed it into an X570 board that I still had flying around, and alas, it works. It's one of those refurbished boards that came back from
Louis Rossmann Asus Repair Center. Asus also picked up my exploded graphics card for repairs today.
Got this shipping damage power supply which I need to have a look at, and also I am waiting for that other HP power supply that I ebayed ...
Also my car dealer called and asked me to pick up my car for the summer. There goes the fuel economy.
Anyway. shitloads of work to do, and everything annoying. Hubby is out of his feverish dreams and enjoying some numbnuts movie.
I'm pinybraining about how to get that missile silo ...
As for the Phalanx CIWS that was mentioned earlier, I almost got a permit to build a gatling at home along with a collector license. When the government critter heard that the gatling I had in mind was either an M61 or a GAU-8 he kindly withdrew his offer.
How did I get started with that stuff ...
