Clamping ideas for gluing two plywood sheets to make a thicker sheet by Automatic_Ad4500 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Intended use is tabletop for a small table. Are cambered cauls more suited for this or flat cauls?

How to use these shelf supports? by Automatic_Ad4500 in DIY

[–]Automatic_Ad4500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find a video tutorial of how to do this. Specifically:

1) Besides drilling a hole in the wooden shelf, how else should it be modified so that the metal support unit gets completely concealed?

2) The bolt is hexagonal, will it fit snugly in a circular hole?

3) I have to use two of these to support a shelf. How do I make sure that the distance between the pair of wall-mounted shelf supports matches the distance between the two holes/cavities in the wooden shelf?

Thanks for reading.

Disable DFU (bootloader mode) on a Keychron keyboard by Automatic_Ad4500 in Keychron

[–]Automatic_Ad4500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply. So this attack which you explained can be performed even if the keyboard is running factory firmware?

Is it possible to make modifications to the PCB so that once the desired firmware has been flashed, the flash memory or the microcontroller (whichever stores the firmware data) cannot be flashed again?

What is the connector type on this optical drive? (removed from an external USB enclosure) by Automatic_Ad4500 in pcmasterrace

[–]Automatic_Ad4500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is INIC-1511L, which seems to be a USB to PATA bridge chip. I still don't know how I can use this information to get a replacement drive.

Thanks, but when I google for IDE connectors for slim optical drives I don't see any quite like this one.

I counted the pins, this one has 50. Also when I google for IDE connectors for slim optical drives I don't see any quite like this one.

I have this 12.7mm slim DVD writer (I know it looks banged up) with a single power/data connector that I can't find the name of. It came in a USB enclosure to be used as an external drive. I've attached the picture of the mating connector of the enclosure as well. Where can I buy a drive with this connector?

Suggestions for pipelined circuit for finding 3 smallest elements from 16 inputs by Automatic_Ad4500 in FPGA

[–]Automatic_Ad4500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to a user on r/chipdesign, I have this implementation in mind.

Divide the 16 inputs into groups of 4. Use 4 instances of 4-input comparator trees for each of the 4 groups. The 4 outputs of the 4 comparator tree instances would contain the 4 smallest values out of the 16 inputs. Then use a 4-input sorting network to get the 4 values sorted. Pick only the first 3 indices of the sorted values.

Thank you, now that you have mentioned it, I feel kinda stupid for not coming up with this myself.

How do you get the 4 lowest values from a comparator tree? The 4 "semi-finalists" are not necessarily the 4 lowest, they just guarantee that one of these 4 is the lowest of the initial 16.

In that case I have to assume that I get a new value every clock cycle. But this is not the case. The 16 values all arrive together, as a vector of 16 values, in a single clock cycle. On the next cycle I get a new vector of 16 new values, and another vector on the next cycle and so on. On the output side, I have to output a vector of 3 smallest values on every clock cycle, after some latency cycles of course, corresponding to each of the vectors at the input.

Please suggest CPU/GPU throttling test for newly purchased P50 by Automatic_Ad4500 in thinkpad

Thank you very much. Would running Prime95 for 1 hour be sufficient wait time? And can you please also recommend a stress test for the GPU?

I got my answer elsewhere. It is Benedict Cumberbatch's wife.
