wait until they discover that there are actual people named molly…

look, it’s the same form they gave out at the island!

Octanitrocubane

speaking of sci-fi dramas, i’ve recently discovered the Z Machine and it took me a good minute before i realized it actually exists and isn’t something from a movie. That shit is too cool to be true

Damn, made me chuckle

Anyways, going by

, i have had multiple people (2, which is not a lot but it’s weird it happened more then once) say that they couldnt solder just to discover that they were using their soldering iron wrong.

When you press the solder against the iron’s tip, it should get wicked by the tip, and remain there until you press it on some wire/component leads.

If the solder beads up and slips away from the iron, or beads up and forms a blob at the end of the solder wire, it’s oxidised and you probably need to get a new tip. It needs to be shiny and metallic.

The tip needs to be regularely cleaned while soldering by brushing it on a wet sponge, and never let the iron cool down without some solder on the tip to prevent oxidation.

also, FLUX FLUX FLUX

wasnt the whole point to be able to solder one yourself?

founder is a bit hard to bear sometimes. He banned me from all channels over a the tiniest little argument and so I can’t interact with and get any support from the community

i have seen the harsh takes on the valetudo website but thought it was a joke, what happened to deserve that

Instead of being mean and changing subjects, do you have anything interesting to add?

considering no one said anything about cost

ever heard time = money?

sorry if i used language too advanced for a 5yo brain to comprehend

will try over the next days, tysm!

That’s probably a problem with your router

isp provided router

receiving hardware

tried multiple devices, both wireless and wired, even with an name brand external wireless antenna

Especially if you’re in an area with a lot of other wifi signals or radio frequency interference

Middle of nowhere countryside.

If it’s an ISP provided router you could probably ask for them to look at it

Tried, they gave me the Deny, defend, depose treatment

i hate apple with a burning passion but at least their cable lasted more then 3 years without wearing the port down to where you need to angle the connector with force or it doesnt charge

i hate mtp until i see the 6 hours remaining on a wireless transfer and then i love mtp

take manufacturer’s claims

divide by 10

half it

half it again

you now have the max your device will ever reach, with the usual speeds being ~60% of that

(my isp says 300mbps, divide by 10, half, half, 7,5mbps, which i think i never saw since the speeds are actually from 3 to 4)

yup!

People with a new phone every 2/3 years never need to use angled charger treatment, which i find i need to do too often these days

that being said, there is no standard indicator for ports, chargers, and cables to signify what charging speed they support.

Sure, usb c can technically do 240W, but most people use crappy chinese cables which will do max 5W and blame it on the usb specification

doesnt cost shit to me…

retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?

I’m just a little disgruntled because I like treating my Pi’s as headless servers, often with a single purpose, and I don’t want to have to erase the SD cards to upgrade versions.

sounds like a dietpi usecase! (sorry for the shilling, i just really like the project)

but hey, if debian works don’t touch it
