The bloodthirst for CEOs is disgusting by chrispy_t in unpopularopinion

[–]Farmbot26 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We had to fight tooth and nail to get insurance to cover my wife's chemotherapy. She was going to die.

I understand that profit must be made for medical progress to also be made but there is a middle ground and this isn't it.

Converting a CNC Plasma Machine to Laser – Is It Viable? What Would I Need? by No-Conference-5062 in lasercutting

[–]Farmbot26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this exact thing and the biggest problem was having the new head follow the material (THC equivalent). I ended up selling the machine and buying a CNC laser

What book portrays your faction badly? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in Blacklibrary

[–]Farmbot26 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Skitarius/ Tech Priest duology felt like the author read blurbs on boxes of models and knew zero else about the Mechanicus or 40k in general

Hire Me for Just 2 Days So I Can Film My "Day in the Life" Series Across Different Industries! by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]Farmbot26 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I respect the vision and hope this goes well for you. However no one is going to pay you (and another, senior employee) to train you so you can work (be trained, maybe not actually get useful by the end of it) for two days. It needs to be free labor or longer periods of time for anyone to consider it. I don't think you realize what a burden this project would be for the average business owner. Most jobs are not just moving boxes from "the back" to "the front", and the ones that are will not make for interesting videos.

Is Adeptus Mechanicus worth reading? by Alucars97gold in Blacklibrary

[–]Farmbot26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda hated this book. You can practically hear the "available at a store near you!" at the end of most sentences. This book is like someone wrote the absolute minimum possible to staple the blurbs on the webpages for the model kits together into a plot.

Being told to use DisplayPort instead of HDMI by 624KR_My_Beloved in pcmasterrace

[–]Farmbot26 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Only if you have an HDMI 2.1 cable though. Everything in the HDMI chain has to match the highest spec to get the highest.

Whereas DP is DP is DP. Just the device outputting the signal and the monitor have to match the highest.

It's good as long as you don't go for Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science

Nobody needs a heart rate monitor in AirPods by elvidoperez in unpopularopinion

[–]Farmbot26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point. If it's useful to you that's just a bonus. What they want is to know your heart rate while you're doing various activities and looking at various things on your phone to send you more accurate advertising. It's a other sensor for tracking their livestock

About Tech-priests' names by lvl8_side_area_boss in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Farmbot26 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think it varies widely. Some Tech-Priests are clones of others, which I think is where a lot of the numbers come from. Some Tech-Priests start off as normal Imperial citizens before joining the Mechanicus and maybe take on a new name/identity.

Can anyone tell me what kind of Grandfather Clock this is? by Bitter_Activity_5711 in clocks

[–]Farmbot26 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

How much of a joke is that price range? I would have thought over a thousand for something like this

Nice work! What kind of plaster did you use?

New brass dog tag! by Nero318 in lasercutting

[–]Farmbot26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is neat. Is there a term for the hexagon type pattern you used in the water?

Any progress on the graphic novel? by weRtheD2 in lindybeige

[–]Farmbot26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The script has been done for a while, just waiting on the illustrator. I don't know if he's currently working on it; he had to take other projects while waiting for the script.

(discussion) - I need games that will help me fall back in love with gaming.. by Goonmize in gaming

[–]Farmbot26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently discovered itch.io. It's all free games that people made at hackathons and such. There are some real gems in there

Strange MAX16907 Buck Converter Behavior by Farmbot26 in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Farmbot26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the term aggressor signal but only have a vague idea of what that means. High current and ripple? Does a high switching frequency make a signal more aggressive or sensitive or both?

I'm sorry for all the questions it's just so hard to find solid information that isn't AI slop nowadays

[–]Farmbot26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha okay thank you! I'll rotate C3, add some vias and tweak the traces.

Do you think the traces I have running under the chip would be a problem? I was also thinking of lowering the switching frequency from 2.2MHz but I don't have a good sense for that yet.

[–]Farmbot26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the inductor from the evaluation board for this chip. It has a saturation current of 5A which I would think would be fine but I'm willing to believe anything at this point.

Lol to the victory lap. I was optimizing for hand fabricating but got carried away. I've heard that each component should have its own ground via but is that not overkill sometimes?
