I deliberately chose a sewing machine that contains zero thinking sand - and yet, I get a deadlock due to multithreading issues on my first day of using it.

@erin do you know how modern seeing machines do variable speed control? (I started wondering whether the PSU contains thinking sand.)

@robryk I’m absolutely sure there is nothing “modern” about this one in terms of motor control, it’s just the dumbest possible triac+diac waveform chopper.

if it sounds like a triac chopper, bogs down at slow speeds like a triac chopper and quacks like a triac chopper, it’s a triac chopper.
