More modern iPhones (14 onward and 15pro onward) are a lot easier to replace the battery. No need to remove the screen anymore, it can all be done from the back side. Apparently the pull tabs for the batteries are a lot better, as well. Sti

Right, and science shows that in calorie controlled diets (where people have their diets carefully controlled), they have no issue with weight loss/gain/whatever. This leads to the obvious conclusion it's peoples inability to

Sure, it has some impact, but we’re not talking about anything too crazy. And that also assumes full total clogging of all pores… which is unlikely to happen. You won’t have perfect sealing and pressure will just equalize.

Unless you’re moving the altitude of the drive substantially after it’s already clogged, how would this happen? There’s no air exchange on hard drives.

It’s a combination of societal weakness/acceptance, marketing, and access to easier alternatives (eg, stuff that will make you fat) in my view. There’s not one thing that does it, but years and years of… conditioning that’s led us to t

Just because folks had access to tons of fats and such doesn’t mean that this is causal to gaining weight. It has to do with how good everything tasted. The ability to have food that’s just delicious has never been easier. Not just access t

Pray tell, besides satiety, what exactly is the difference between carbs from a sweet potato and carbs from glucose syrup, or just plain sugar? You’re missing the other good stuff in a sweet potato (vitamins, fiber, some protein even), but

No. Current will find a way. Lightning will destroy things you didn’t even think would be possible to destroy.

What is there to handle? I have a ZFS array that works just fine with hard drives that automatically spin down. ZFS handles this without an issue. The main gotchas tend to be: if you use the array for many things, especially stuff that thro

They're not airtight in the true sense (besides the helium filled ones nowadays), but every drive made in the past... 30? 40 years is airtight in the sense that no dust can ever get into the drive. There's a breather hole somewher

All packetized traffic is digital. What’s your point? Regardless of the implementation, anything that would require all other traffic to back off (ie not transmit) every 1ms would break most wireless things.

Do you know how many RF signals would be interrupted by a 1ms broadcast every second that covers every possible spectrum? A hint: most of them. Many protocols rely on exclusive access to the spectrum, and couldn’t possibly be synchronized w

Why would it do either of these things? It would kill the black market for stolen apple parts, but otherwise it shouldn’t impact anything else. Assuming you can “unpair” iCloud on dead phones (which you can do already, to my knowledge), the

Third party parts exist for tons of Apple devices. Usually of varying (typically poor, especially with batteries) quality. You can get OLED screens (actually oled!) that are replacements even. They pretty much will all give you the “unable

They contact you later (weeks or months later). And it’s contacting your phone number to attempt to convince you to unlink it, usually with some sob story or threat. They know the phones are worth way way less if they are blacklisted, so th

Flooding on roads is not super common in Austin. Some areas have flooding, sure, but it’s extremely localized. I think you hear it a lot as outreach related to other Texas cities. Houston, by comparison, might as well be a river for how oft

It’s much harder to regain muscle, though. Especially as you’re older. And if weight loss drugs are done without regard for diet (ie you just eat chips… but fewer chips), then muscle loss would be expected.

Do you want to track your kid, or give them access to maps? If the latter, offline maps on any number of phones should work great these days. You could lock down the phone heavily so they can’t get access to anything besides music and maps,

They’ll work just fine, assuming your kid comes back to you frequently enough. Only downside is you’d only get a kid location if near someone with an iPhone.

Broadly speaking, modern espresso groupheads for home use you want to focus on one thing: responsiveness. You want it to react to temperature provided, not resist changes to temperature, and be able to be controlled. E61 groupheads are typi

My mistake on that. Yeah, guess it’s only the TS80 series. Either way, it’s been used. But they seem incompatible. Also, it’s gonna be the current that kills you. If they’re running higher voltages it probably isn’t an issue.

by Kirby64 2y ago
Was just going to comment on this. Sure it’s “the standard”, but it has so many downsides for home usage. Just stick with the standard 58mm portafilter but ditch the ancient e61.

The delta in price isn't that different. Legit Hakko tips for FX888/903/907 are ~$7-10 each. Legit Hakko tips for T12/T15 are only $12-20 apiece. Twice as much, sure, but how many tips do you really go through? We'r

Replacing single cells is a problem for other cells in parallel with it, especially with the high current of e-bike batteries, but replacing all cells in parallel (appears to be 4 cells in this battery) should be fine. Either way, being abl

I’d think for the vast majority of uses it’d be just fine. The duty cycle of a soldering iron is extremely low. Most of the time it’s sitting there topping up the heat on the iron, barely sipping power. If you’re truly cranking heat into so

Literally all the cheap soldering irons (Miniware TS80/100/etc, Pinecil) use a 3.5mm jack for their tips. These look incompatible, though, with those designs, which is a shame.

If you're using full power for longer than 40 seconds, you're almost certainly doing something wrong (or, need to switch to a chunkier soldering iron). At a certain point, the limiting factor becomes how quickly you can transfer h

The heating element and temperature sensor are also in the tips themselves in both Pinecil and the Miniware TS80/TS100 designs. Every modern 'commercial' soldering iron (Hakko T12 line, JBC, many others) has moved this way to

If you could actually fit something in there, you get your reward of a destroyed pair of headphones I assume. Or maybe it won’t sense a thermistor and nothing will happen. I’d assume without a thermistor it won’t actually function (although

People that use CAD for a full time job? 2k/yr is basically nothing. As a business expensive it’s a rounding error.
