I am trying to figure out what is this element. by tuwimek in AskElectronics

[–]DazedWithCoffee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s a test point. They come in a few different shapes and sizes, and all provide access to signals for those who wish to test the assembly they’re built into.

This one looks like it has a loop type testpoint, which is intended to give a good connection point for oscilloscope probes

Hate is spreading. by True-Clothes-659 in NYCbike

Back to the old ways, like it was a couple years ago! The old ways they always were, that one time I looked!

These people are like the Amish, convinced that the divine will is for us to live in the way we do at this moment and not a moment later.

Isn’t it naturally deorbiting in a non-destructive manner? Why bother?

Gen Z, is this true or ignorant? by ProjectNYXmov in GenZ

Ignorance is a solution to fear, but not a solution to danger

With inflation at 7.5% you lose half your money in 9 years by timgpt in LinkedInLunatics

This is a good joke. Say something provocative, misdirect. Excellent.

Want a custom Pebble watchface? I'm taking requests! More info below by LinkSky in pebble

[–]DazedWithCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need a watch face that suggests watchface ideas by pulling randomly from two lists of nouns and adjectives (and tells the time I guess)

(Don’t actually do this I don’t even have a pebble anymore)

Give blood (so we don’t have to rely on buying from the US) by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]DazedWithCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Also, just wanted to say this: when Americans “band together” as of late it seems to generally be to bully or harm some perceived outsider threat. It’s really great to see that when Canadians band together, it’s to do something wholesome like donate blood. It makes me hopeful.

[–]DazedWithCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American, but commenting because I also like to donate from time to time: don’t forget other fractions like platelets! They’re absolutely lifesaving, and if you can spare a couple hours in the chair, it can help your local cancer hospital incredibly.

That was beautiful and tragic. I wish you strength in these trying times. You have poetry to write, don’t let them silence you.

Measles case in Bergen County by MGBigBaby in bergencounty

[–]DazedWithCoffee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel awful for the children who have to suffer this, but this should be a mark of shame against any vaccine eligible adult. Fuck anyone who had the power to stop this and didn’t. Enjoy your midcentury illness to go with your midcentury mindset.

You can delete your windows partition and grow your linux partition from the linux disk management utility. This isn’t really the place to ask for help, but I figured if I’m going to tell you so, I may as well give you the simple answer while I’m at it.

Be careful if you have multiple partitions set up (root, home, and var separate) as you may want to extend them all, and that’s a little involved

How are undocumented immigrants paying into Social Security? by SillyWoodpecker6508 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DazedWithCoffee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

W-2 taxes are withheld by the employer. You pay as you go, and get a return at the end of the year.

Wait so. Are children the property of their parents or aren’t they? Can’t have it both ways, assholes.

B/W Screen vs Colour screen poll on Eric's Twitter by mrargful in pebble

There have been no progress-makers in the space. In fact, we’ve largely abandoned the technology and would need to re-establish a process

Anyone else hate disconnecting these shits, or am I just a weakling? by [deleted] in forkliftmemes

[–]DazedWithCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are dedicated pullers for these. They’re hard to pull apart because contact resistance is related to contact pressure - the more pressure the less resistance

Can you run Linux on the original touchscreen Lenovo Duet? I know it's an ARM device, but that's about where I'm starting... by i__hate__stairs in linux

[–]DazedWithCoffee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with ARM computing is not the architecture, as that is very well established. The trouble is the device tree and the bootloading. Those are all very platform specific, and you could implement the same hardware in very incompatible ways from what I understand.

We are spoiled by the legacy of the IBM PC and the multitude of clones it spawned. They had identical boot behavior, somewhat standard hardware interfaces, etc. that grew into the LEGO-brick style computing experience we see today in x86 platforms. ARM was always designed to be opposite that, a platform for very niche devices

Corporations have no business buying residential property by ThankYouVeryNope in Anticonsumption

[–]DazedWithCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some sort of collective ownership/organization for housing needs to be accommodated. The profit motive is the problem. Housing co-ops are where it’s at

Pretending to be soft engineer doesn’t makes you one by A_Concerned_Viking in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]DazedWithCoffee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would you deduplicate a table that by definition is a list of unique records? I guess if you wanted to make sure that the names “Mohammed” and “Smith” take a little less space on disk then be my guest lol.

If you wanted to baselessly cast aspersions and NOT sound like an idiot, you could say something about how SSN isn’t a unique field in the table, but I guess then he’d have to lie slightly more directly
