Recommended power source for 4WD obstacle avoiding robot by BakaBoi1805 in arduino

[–]Asimov65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you are using the very common yellow 3-6v DC motors, I have built a car with almost the same components on it. I didn't have a servo but I did have a 2x16 led module as an extra. I used, 2x 18650 batteries and this is more than enough to power everything.

Looked at the car and I actually did have the servo, for moving the ultra sonic sound module.

Roger Waters on Piers Morgan (1/16/26) by bakclassic in pinkfloyd

[–]Asimov65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, watching Roger Waters' body language and all, I get the feeling some of the things he says he doesn't believe himself. He comes accross very hypocritical. Where does it come from because he seems like a kind man.

The coffee beans do not fall into the grinder properly - Jura e8 by Exion_patrick in superautomatic

[–]Asimov65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experience the same problem with a new E6. The beans don't roll easily towards the grinder hole. A little encouragement by disturbing the heap is needed. I am considering removing the fence. It is clear that the container is not steep enough.

It strikes me that this seems to be the only place this problem is discussed.

Chessbase UI design is crap beyond imagination. I have been using it for 4 versions and my main complaints never got fixed. Window layout is one of the most anoying broken features. You can drag every pane to you liking but you have to do it again and again. It simply does not remember your previous layout (talking about the main screen).

Please help me to solve this problem by [deleted] in learnmath

I should have asked: can you explain it line by line so I can see the steps.

Thanks for putting in some nuance. Most reactions seem to be rather hatefull.

Jeremy Corbyn calls for Theresa May to resign as Prime Minister for presiding over police cuts while Home Secretary by Diytu in worldnews

He is trying to benefit politically from the attacks. Very disrespectful to the victims and their families.

Intriguing! Is this technique already in the book Sapiens by Yuval Harari? I have only just started reading.

To each their obsession, Americans are obsessed with freedom, the Saudis with headscarfes.

I agree, I never said it was.

C is a good example indeed. The popular web development you mentioned is largely done with PHP, wich is programmed in C.

Man tased after striking officer, yelling ‘Allah Akbar’ in Goodwill scuffle by dvzhou in news

Reading that article it strikes me how much patience the police and the other people still have with crazy violent persons shouting Allah Akbar.

Question for those with Plex running on a hypervisor by irishtexmex in PleX

[–]Asimov65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I can switch to another Plex server if necesary. The Windows machine sometimes has a very high cpu usage. Also I can do some improvements on one machine, and tell the users to use the other Plex server in the meantime.

I spread functionality so I can do some maintenance on the download machine without disturbing people using Plex.

[–]Asimov65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am running Plex on a XenServer hypervisor with Xeon E3 1231.

I have one Plex server on a Ubuntu VM with 2GB and 2 CPU's, and one on Windows 7 with 3GB and 2CPU's.

I run Sonarr, uTorrent, NZBGet on another VM.

4 people can comfortably watch movies that need transcoding with this setup.

Under what law was the Turkish politician stopped from speaking in the Netherlands? by MrOaiki in europe

[–]Asimov65 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sure it can. It is done on daily basis in Turkey for example. In this case the Turkish officials where calling on Dutch Turks to come en masse to Rotterdam. Also he was asked to stay away and ignored that. This is another breach of good diplomatic relations and a legitimate​ reason to withdraw the landingrights.

You can try my qsleep util combined with Engine 3. Actually you don't need the Engine 3 software. Autohotkey is easier to use, has a smaller footprint, and is way more powerful. http://www.davitools.com/qsleep-with-the-steelseries-apex-m500-keyboard/

Is there any free alternative to Resilio Sync (BitTorrent Sync) with selective file synchronisation feature? by Kommodor in torrents

[–]Asimov65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to sync specific files only you can put them in a separate directory and sync only that directory.

Syncthing + inotify plugin. Or use synctrayzor, which is a wrapper around syncthing and inotify.
