To the second and third issues, I think they happened because of bad settings in the wave soldering machine, and/or not prepping the board beforehand. Maybe the wave was to high, or the speed too slow. Many times you have to cover the smd components with a bit of painters tape. Even the orientation of the board on the frame can matter.
I’ve been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It’s usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.
Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn’t convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.
It is not a matter of more or less aggressive, some materials dissolve more easily in one type of solvent than in others. You can try, dissolving a teaspoon of salt in water is much easier than in oil. Have you ever eaten chocolate or drunk water while chewing bubblegum? Here the opposite happens, the fats in the chocolate dissolve the bubblegum rubber and make it softer while water doesn’t, it just chills it which makes it firmer.
Now plastic, rubber, or paints, finishings… can be many different things. IPA is safe to use on natural rubber while oils will make it swell and degrade, or even melt it. But most rubbers are synthetic, basically rubbery plastic. These plastics and other engineered materials can have all kind of different properties, while looking exactly the same. So the only thing you can do, other than research on that particular material and solvent, is trying it on a safer or hidden part of the thing.
In my experience: oil isn’t good on most rubbers, IPA is ok. For metals (iron, steel, mechanical parts…), contrary to you I usually advise to clean them with oil/grease, alcohol is appropriate if you don’t want it to be oily, only in rust resistant metals. Consumer/industrial products paints and finishings are usually fine with both ipa and oil if applied swiftly and dried quickly– acetone, kerosene, toluene… will strip them away probably. For wood, almost everything will fuck it up.
money, the copyright and the politics
Of course, the things that haven’t affected the internet or haven’t been affected by it at all.
Yep I know. These are the ones the company buys. I’ve tried others when I had to buy a box while out and about but n a hardware store or even a supermarket. Latex gets destroyed very fast, I didn’t notice much of a difference with vinyl… but you are right I have to try if some other material goes better. The thing is I don’t have a clue what the fuck they put in the inks and nobody seems to be able to tell me.
I sincerely doubt these newcomers can achieve at their first try what well established manufacturers haven’t through revision after revision of their machines. The price is the first clue, flatbed uv printers this size start at about ten thousand. Also, important information like which printhead they mount, printing speed (m2/h), uv lamp wattage… is missing which is suspicious at best.
Not at all like a resin printer. Imagine a hybrid: the top part is an inkjet printer with a printhead that goes side-to-side shooting ink but instead of paper sliding under it there’s a flatbed not unlike the one in a filament 3D printer. The ink is cured by a uv lamp (or more than one, but I suspect this printer has only one and very small and weak since the smaller lamp I work with costs more than this hole printer) usually fixed to the side of the printhead ‘carriage’.
No. Just don’t! You nerds, tinkerers, hackers, makers… listen to me: DO NOT BUY THIS.
I didn’t think I’d have to read the words ‘Consumer UV printer’ ever. It’s just a deranged concept. UV printers are the worst kind of machines there are. Imagine an inkjet printer but a thousand times worse, I’m not joking. I work with these, but professional/industrial ones, in professional printshops, and they are an absolute toothache for my customers (again, professionals that make a living with printers and similar equipment). The customers like me, because I’m the one solving them problems (even if the bill for the solutions is more often than not a few thousands) but I’m sure the salespeople look under their cars every morning.
This will only be a hole in your pocket, a piece of junk taking up space in your home, and even a hazard to your health or your kids’ or pets’–UV ink is some nasty shit before curing, some of them make my hands itch even trough the nitrile gloves, and you have to handle and dispose of the waste ink properly ie hiring some waste management service.
It’s true that you can make beautiful things with them, but for a home it’s just not worth it, just take your designs and your media (the things you want to print on) to a print shop and have them printed there.
I agree with both of you but it’s a bit more nuanced than that: what if someone not familiar with the original IPs asks for a ‘space wizard’ or an ‘Italian plumber cartoon’, it outputs Obi Wan or Mario, and they use it in their work? Who’s getting sued by Disney or Nintendo?
The installation in my home follows my country’s regulations as they were ~15 years ago. It’s divided into several circuits, the ‘general use’ outlets one is rated for 25A in total AND at any point, ie you could plug a 5750W appliance in any of those outlets. The lights circuit is the lowest rated at 15A, still letting you ‘plug’ up to 3450W.
Remember when Trump first got elected and
Anonymousabsolutely everything just suddenly vanished?
Now it’s only Trump this, trump that… all the time, your comment as an example, so if he didn’t say anything about anonymous then no one has heard anything about them.
He’s not wrong. Schools are day-prisons where parents leave their kids while they slave away to make the rich richer. Most teachers (in my experience at least) are absolute shit, and so are the education systems (again in my experience). And before the ‘in the Scandinavian countries…’ bunch comes: I know a few Nordic people, not impressed, they just have lots of money to throw at the problems (which I would say is the secret for every other statistics they excel in).
Quick edit: that being said I don’t know anyone, including myself, that has learned a language with Duolingo. Can be fun but it’s useless for actually learning.
No, that’s not my assumption. Where did I say that? Rich people are mostly born, not made.
English is not my first language and I’m no expert in sewers maintenance so substitute whatever trade/job title instead of plumber.
I’m not against this robot quite the opposite. But I’m curious about the reaction when technology ‘takes the jobs’ of working class people like in this case (or you know last couple centuries) being very different than when it takes the job of artists, journalists, writers…
In which world they aren’t? Like if you have the option of working throwing paint onto a pice of cloth or taping bananas to walls would you chose to work with literal human shit to your knees and your elbows??
Also see my other comment, only 8% of artist (in the UK) are working class against A FUCKING 100% plumbers being working class.
Not trolling at all. I used to hang around an art school when I was a teenager, the vast majority of those kids came from pretty well off families. The small percentage that were of a more working class background were there to get into graphic design or the-like in college, so they didn’t end up being artists.
A quick web search gives that only 8% of artists are working class in the UK which is a wealthy country, I’d bet the percentage goes down in poorer ones.
Generative ai is also machine learning, and you could say that the ai is generating movements and actions for the drone. My question, that was not about the underlying technology or semantics, still stands.
Don’t know about the glue thing, the smds were put by a machine, but they would move like the one in the picture if you didn’t set the machine right. I can’t say for sure with that resolution but I think those white things are the shiny reflections on the pins/solder. I will look into these smd glues tho, that could come handy.
And about the tape I have to say that my experience with wave soldering is not very vast, literally just one place, but they used painters tape, of the cheapest kind, and it worked just fine—no melting (it’s paper?), and no burning since the solder doesn’t get that hot (~200°C), the tape might stay a bit wet from the flux also idk.
