Above you see two probes that came with my DSLogic Analyzer. You also see two EZ-Hook XKM-S probes bought from Digikey at 30 SEK each. The latter are vastly higher quality - and much easier to work with since you can place them closer together due to their thinner tips. Highly recommended.

[it’s teh book review] A few weeks ago I read an interesting book; I am a strange loop - by Douglas Hofstadter. He’s quite famous for earlier works, and this book is supposed to set the record straight regarding some things he felt didn’t came out right earlier. I don’t know - I haven’t read his previous material.

Kokoon Relax headphones review
[this post has been updated, see additional edits being made at the bottom] April 2018 I saw a Facebook ad for a pair of headphones that sounded like the perfect match for my needs.
