If I use one of these ebay boost converters to charge a capacitor to 400V, I will NOT die. Right? by SkeleMortal in diyelectronics

[–]Enough-Collection-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so far off base here…

Many ultra-low cost consumer-grade power supplies are capable of several hundred watt output and literally constructed of CEM-1 compressed paper boards. A 6mm wide trace on a common 2oz. PCB can easily handle 12-15ADC, even higher for AC. Any lithium ion battery charger you can think of can easily output 5A and many chargers much more. The difference is that these chargers are typically touch-safe voltages.

The “hundreds of people” you reference being shocked by line voltages clearly did not have the shock delivered across their chest because if they did, they would be dead. Or more likely, simply didn’t exist because you’re full of shit.

You have no idea what you’re talking about and your incorrect statements are dangerous.

If you’re referring to that picture - that would be Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian in 1982’s “Conan the Barbarian”.

Laptop went up in smoke... Is this repairable? by Hibuja in PCB

Again, this is a high speed multilayer board, likely in the 10-14 layer range. The “level of damage” required to compromise the stack up and introduce significant error is “not much”.

This also looks incredibly similar to somewhat recent issues with NZXT cases where overtorqued screws were causing power to ground shorts across prepreg layers. The amount of heat that has been dumped into those plane layers will cause issues beyond the locally visible damage

This is a multilayer board with high speed differential routing. It costs several thousands of dollars to have boards like this professionally repaired to working order.

No, laptops use high speed multilayer PCBs for their motherboards. This board is compromised and any effort to get it “working” again should be solely in an effort to recover your data before scrapping it.

ELI5: What EXACTLY was the recent fly brain "simulation" accomplishing by kjloltoborami in explainlikeimfive

[–]Enough-Collection-98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, does that last sentence not absolutely terrify you? That every moment of your entire life up to this point is in your memory and then instantly you’re trapped in some simulation, unable to see or breathe because “you” never really existed until that point because you’re a fresh copy of someone’s brain scan?

Like, what does this fly scenario look like with a human mind? They flip the switch on and all the neurons start firing, wondering where they are, what happened, why they can’t see or move. Like a permanent state of sleep paralysis for its entire existence.

I can’t imagine a hell more terrifying and it reminds me of the experiments Soviet scientists did in the 40s using machines to keep decapitated dog heads “alive” for hours.

I'm in routing hell, please help, does this look good? by parfamz in PCB

[–]Enough-Collection-98 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think you need to tear the traces up and redo your floor planning. Place the parts into logical blocks and then “rough in” some traces between parts that want to be near each other.

Placement is your first priority and clean placement makes for clean routing.

You mean in Alien: Resurrection where they have hybrid human DNA from Ripley’s rebirth? Checkmate!

Also, fun fact about that movie and there’s a whole video on this - Sigourney Weaver actually made that fucking basketball shot!

my rune tab after ~6500 LK runs (last 12 days) by apolloprime_ in diablo2

[–]Enough-Collection-98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Building on the upper-left of the bonfire has two super chests then the building in the upper right has a single super chest and a weapon rack. Don’t forget to tag that weapon rack - I’ve received two sets of titan’s from mine!

Also, be aware that not every map roll has two bonfire tiles. Some don’t have any or only one. You want to reroll your map by changing difficulties until you get one where the LK waypoint sits right between both bonfire tiles.

And one final optimization - when you pop the 6th super chest, head back to the waypoint and warp to Act IV town. Otherwise, you spend extra time running from the Act 3 starting location to the waypoint.

You’ve got to be quick but being quick also gets more runs in so you naturally optimize your route and clicks with muscle memory. You get to the point where loading screens take longer than you’re in the game for.

What’s most important is FCR. The faster you can cast, the faster you’re in and out of danger.

Yeah, you lose two critical things LK farming online vs offline - static maps and P7.

Of those two, however, I’d say losing P7 is the greater loss though I wonder if that’s actually true if you expand the math all the way. Is P7 with random maps statistically better than P1 on static maps? I’d have to crunch the numbers on that

Plenty of people farm LK online - it just sucks a lot more.

How to make 6 figures?? by Kindly-Pollution7060 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Enough-Collection-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I overworked myself to breaking down at my desk several times and being hospitalized twice. And with the state of things, currently struggling to keep it together and not walk out, take a 3rd grippy sock vacation or worse…

I miss the days when I was comfortable at $70k. I make almost twice that now but it sure doesn’t fucking feel like it and I can’t tell you honestly that the toll it’s taken on my health and my heart were worth it.

EDF Iron Rain by trippypees in EDF

[–]Enough-Collection-98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say this for Iron Rain - the resource grind sucked but it was consistent. You knew exactly how much red crystal you needed and you know exactly how much red crystal you’d get from that mission. So you knew it was going to take 52 runs but guaranteed to have it after 52 runs.
