Those connectors are good for one connection and no disconnections.

I was hoping it would have PIO…

Yes, you need slightly better flux to avoid using toxic heavy metal in your hobby electronics.

650°F or 340°C. Works beautifully with SAC305.
245.
by CarVac 3y ago
That's not actually true though. I find SAC305 to wick into joints faster than leaded solder does, provided you have quality flux in the solder. If you get the cheapest lead-free solder you can find on Amazon it will be bad. Doubly so

None if you use quality lead-free solder.

It's only horrid when the flux it comes with is crap. Most people try the cheapest garbage they can find on Amazon, and that's the problem. I use Chipquik SAC305 with water-washable no-clean flux core and I actually prefer working

There's also PhobGCC, an rp2040 motherboard replacement offering Hall effect sticks for Gamecube controllers. https://github.com/PhobGCC (I'm lead software dev on it)

The exhaust provides downforce though.

From a Youtube interview with Gordon Murray I saw, the T.50 has fan-enhanced diffusers, the fan ingesting the boundary layer to prevent flow separation. It's not able to produce extra downforce at zero speed. The McMurtry Spéirling is

And yet they charge you to send scores to colleges.

To be charitable, I imagine it might help disincentivize indiscriminate account takeover attacks targeting the account recovery process.

Does that not actually cause a mispredict if the speculative execution happened before the code change?

Does the empty expansion bay shell have provisions for mounting other things inside, like an m.2 expansion? Or would those have to come as a separate expansion module?

It has an option for a discrete AMD GPU. No word on other vendors' GPUs—yet.

I tried one the other day at an Apple store. The click feedback is too weak, and the stepless acceleration is not what my brain expects, so I found it frustrating.

It's not an issue because Phoenix is always dry, so the wet bulb temperature is always low.

On my 1240p I've gone 6 hours on 80% of the battery (the limit I set) coding in vim at a reasonable indoor brightness.

For this you don't need to sell it 5+ years down the road—you pop in a new mainboard with the latest processor, for much less than a new laptop would cost, and off you go.

My girlfriend has had a $3000 gaming laptop die twice. Feels really bad to own e-waste.

Once buckling occurs, it hardly matters what's in compression and what's in tension: the applied force has a tremendous mechanical advantage over the material strength resisting it once the stiffness fails to prevent it from cro

Carbon fiber is used because it is rigid. The failure mode for a member in compression is buckling, which is resisted by stiffness, not strength. It's also a lot easier to make a huge thick tube out of composites than out of titanium

The Xreal isn't a wide FOV at all though, unsuitable for what SimulaVR is going for. It's more literally a head mounted display, rather than a virtual reality headset, with its 46° field of view.

One more core, one more PIO, and more SRAM.

Every screw in the Framework 13 is T5 Torx, and they include a Torx screwdriver in the box. Presumably they're not changing that aspect.

Or just one with a faster response time? The current panel has quite long rise times.

What's changed about the chassis?

It's absolutely possible to keep the pressure off while earning money from a hobby.

The "shiny" aspect is the only way an improperly soldered joint can look the same on lead-free, and as a lead dev on an open-source hardware project that attracts a lot of people new to soldering, I have never ever seen a non-shin

by CarVac 3y ago
I urge people to ditch leaded solder in favor of lead-free. Most difficulties people have in using lead-free comes from one of three things: 1. a poor soldering iron 2. bad quality solder (the cheap stuff with bad flux is bad, duh) 3. poor
