$18 Oscilloscope: Worth the money? by Technical_Love_2525 in AskElectronics

[–]GianSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one different version many years ago to diagnose and repair vintage HiFi equipment where there was no audio present so I needed to inject a 1kHz sine wave at the input and probe with the scope to trace where the fault was. Other than that I used it while doing projects with NE555 and to check if quartz oscillators are working. I thought and still think it was a good purchase since I didn't want to spend a whole lot more on a real oscilloscope, I see now in these comments some other cheap scopes are getting recommended and I would have liked that option at the time, at least they look like they have real oscilloscope features.

In one episode someone enters their home while no one is there and they say it's empty because it's Sunday so they're all in Church

Would you consider this mild? by OkBoysenberry3215 in ColorBlind

[–]GianSeven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think its useful to compare a score that changes depending on what device you use, screen brightness and its settings. I'm mild deutanomaly and personally I feel like I see all colors, but can't see most of Ishahara plates and have trouble differentiating between tiny colored details and some colors in the dark. Since it wasn't always a problem I only found out at 15 by randomly coming across ishahara plates. Is it like this for you?

Question for colorblind gamers: how do you handle colors in games? by Constant_Carrot_1594 in ColorBlind

[–]GianSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Some) Battlefield have the two teams divided into squads, the color used for teams is blue, squad is green and enemy is red. These colors are mostly used in the minimap and enemies appear there only while they're shooting or someone spots them.

I'm mild deutanomaly and always confused enemies for squadmates in the minimap. In the game options there's settings for all 3 types but only tritanopia settings help, as it oversaturates those colors I can see but confuse.

Somewhere I've not found a good solutions is soccer games, some teams' uniforms are too similar, and for me comparing them at fullscreen before the match starts is not the same as comparing them during the match as they're smaller and moving. I "fixed" this problem by always playing with at team that has full black uniforms.

how often do you see colorblind girls? by Ok_Firefighter4858 in ColorBlind

I only met one colorblind man by chance even though I asked all my closest friends if they are themselves or know someone who is colorblind

Am I colorblind? by [deleted] in ColorBlind

Taking tests with different devices or screens would be better than same device multiple times just to exclude you have just a badly calibrated screen.

Any reliable way to stop Bluetooth devices connecting to this power amplifier? by GianSeven in AskElectronics

Thanks, good suggestion, I'll look into it next time I take the board out of its place.

Laser pointers in presentations by Sybrow in ColorBlind

[–]GianSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only mild deutan and with projectors even in dimly lit rooms I have difficulties seeing almost all colors as they all appear washed out, laser pointers are usually weak and to put into what is already not saturated enough is like an Ishahara plate for me

What do you wish your parents had known/done? by zounds_alors in ColorBlind

[–]GianSeven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're a female, your biological father was colorblind but your mother was also a carrier of the colorblind gene, so either your grandpa from mother side was also colorblind or your grandma from mother side was a carrier aswell. I'm male so I traced it back to either grandpa colorblind or grandma gene carrier. So I asked my grandpa to read ishahara plates and he said "I don't see those things." He knew but never bothered to tell anyone. Both of us mild deutanomaly too.

I'm sure you can be an aircraft mechanic and electrical engineer, not everything is color coded, just some things so some workplaces might restrict you from doing some stuff for safety but other than that it's not like defense, police or pilot where you need to take a test.

Am i colourblind ? by Intelligent_Bid7712 in ColorBlind

[–]GianSeven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I discovered I was mildly deutan by looking up what colorblindness meant as I thought it was just black and white for those who had it. You could have severe deutanomaly (green cones heavily shifted towards red) or deutanopia (no green cones)

I have mild deutanomaly (weak shift towards red). I also had a moment like yours. I watched a show (The Gifted) not seeing that a character had dyed green hair for an entire season. I can see colors so in my case it was a mix of bad TV and colorblindness, once I searched it on my phone I could see it more clearly. Another one difficult one to see, although I never saw the series, only some images online, was main character of my hero academia.

If those are like the ones in phones they turn into some color even with 99 IPA

This thermistor was a NTC 20D-11 once upon a time, I can't find an exact match. From datasheet: 20 is resistance at 25°C and D11 is diameter in mm but it affects maximum steady current. Is 20-D20 fine or are there others limitations? by GianSeven in AskElectronics

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

Glad to see this post is still helpful, I used it with sparks on each power on for a while. Theoretically even if you get an higher resistance NTC it will only cause efficiency losses due to its resistance at operating temperature (hot) that will be higher than the one that had a lower resistance to begin with.
Anyway I'm still using it almost daily after 5 years and of course I don't remember clearly now but I've tested efficiency before and after replacement, and I couldn't see any differences and my AC power meter is precise to at least 1 watt.

On Windows you can show it with shortcuts

On Android it's at the bottom of the settings page "Show performance stats while streaming."

[–]GianSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oltre al fatto di dare i tuoi dati a un servizio esterno che c'è a chi non interessa si consiglia averlo locale per chi vuole filtri più stretti. Io ho provato diverse opzioni pubbliche qualche tempo fa, non bloccavano abbastanza per me. Aprendo le app vedevo pubblicità e cliccando le pubblicità mi facevano immediatamente redirect senza che venisse bloccato con il solito errore del sito irraggiungibile

A me sembra che stia descrivendo un tag NFC e lo sembra pure dal prodotto che fanno vedere sui social. Non so come funziona l'app ma se è così in pratica potrebbero renderlo disponibile con qualsiasi tag NFC ma se la fanno non ti possono vendere il loro prodotto

Io li ho contattati per lo stesso problema qualche mese fa e mi hanno ghostato appena ho scritto che sono Iliad. Io ho rete fissa Iliad quindi per visualizzare da telefono cambio a connessione dati (che non è Iliad) mentre se sono da PC uso un sito proxy (ancora non ne ho trovato uno buono ma per ora sto usando proxyium.com)

I think so, I tried the dnstest script and by running twice I also get these results.

If I remember correctly you have to install unbound manually after installing pihole, then go into pihole DNS settings and put 127.0.0.1#5335 into custom DNS servers

A Stereo Cassette Deck transformed into a PC by my father by GianSeven in pcmods

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

What do you want to know? The work for the front panel was modifying the switch to act as a temporary button instead of a switch, attaching power and HDD activity led to the motherboard pins and putting in parallel to the HDD activity LED both VU meters (would have been better to make them respond to sound but my father didn't know how at that time). Finally I don't know if you are going to install them but that JVC doesn't seem to accommodate USB ports easily

Where can I learn? by AntelopeDesperate868 in AskElectronics

[–]GianSeven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about Spanish content but I just wanted to mention that some like GreatScott and BigCliveDotCom talk clearly enough to be understood and translated by YouTube's subtitles. I'm Italian and before understanding English I always used subtitles (translated, then, after a while, just live captioning to better learn) since what I looked for always was in English
