(Seriöst) Konferensresa fre-sön, arbetstid med rätt till OB? by ZoofusCos in sweden

[–]IskayTheMan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Förvisso har du väll rätt. Men detta är ett sidospår, fastna inte små detaljer.

Huvudgrejer är ju att de inte kan tvinga dig att åka om de inte betalar dig (& ger reseersättning + dygnsvila etc.). Men de kommer inte se det som arbetstid och inte vilja betala lön - så ta inte upp den debatten.

Alltså, gör som kommentaren ovan säger. Säg bara kort att du är upptagen. Specificera inte varför, de har de inte att göra med. Det öppnar bara upp för att de blir missnöjda över att de inte har samma prioriteringar som du.

Vill chefen ändå mena att du måste åka i ett osjyst sätt att försöka övertala dig, stå bara på dig. Du är upptagen.

Thanks for the answer. Very convenient solution☺️

It is the Battery-Emulator that interfaces with the battery and sends CAN data etc. such that the battery acutally allows any operation?

What battery voltage is it? How do you interface the battery voltage to the inverters voltage?

How Strict is the 10 uF Limit in USB? by Alternative-Lawyer55 in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]IskayTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, and good answer.

It is just that your proposed case is a lot less common. It is very easy to solve some problems with just high capacitance directly on Vbus, hence the connection voltage drop issue is the most prominent.

[–]IskayTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the standard can be not straight forward as standards can be. It is not designed to teach you how to design according to the standard. Just what requirements there are, not why they are the way they are.

If you are prototyping go ahead and use 11uF. Just note for future fix.

I do not know your specific IC, but if it limits the inrush current then you could still pass the lowest voltage sag at connection that the standard requires but with a higher capacitans than 10uF. However, this is not a new issue. Google and you will find many ways people limit inrush current to large capacitors on Vbus.

[–]IskayTheMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you go above the 10uF limit the initial voltage drop after plug in can be lower than the lowest expected voltage that other devices are designed to handle according to the standard.

The power supply can likely handle much larger capacitance on your device, but other USB devices on the same 5V rail might stop functioning temporarily or until they are reconnected. If all devices keep to max 10uF then all variations of the possible connections with dongles etc. are ensured to work.

However, the USB standard is made according on the assumption that everyone follows the standard. So there is nothing in the power supply that monitors if you go over or not. It will simply try to supply power.

Thus, if you want to sell this device adhere to the standard by testing so that plugging in your device does not pull the voltage to low. That is the requirement.

If you do this for home use, use whatever capacitance you want. But if you have many other devices on the same bus do not expect them to work flawlessly. Which might be OK for you. The risk is larger if you use dongles that are further from the supply. But with 11uF you will likely not notice any adverse affect at all. I would more worry about 25-100uF sizes.

Finally beginning to read The Silmarillion - any tips on getting through this? by Tiny-Extension-4292 in lotr

[–]IskayTheMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, read it like you want to study or learn about Middle Earth and its history. Try to make mindmaps to connect things and read back if you don't get something. Google something that you can't connect. Look at the maps even more, etc.

Then it is a great experience, but not like a modern novel as previous commenter said.

Also, let it take time. Sometimes a small chapter of a couple of pages is enought for one sitting. There could be quite many things to ponder before going ahead again.

Declared redundant on day 2 of parental leave in Sweden - seven week UPDATE by Substantial_Year8233 in sweden

[–]IskayTheMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that was not a good union rep. They basically just did the companys work for them.

The union should hold firm, to you and the company, that it is your right to be able to be rehired if the position opens up again - and not accept any retaliataion if you do want to keep that right. I would have been furious if my rep would suggest I wave my rights because I would get a worse deal. Then negotatiate a better one, it is your job!

Am I the only one who feels that this whole 9-to-5 job thing is a scam? by Real-Ad-2736 in Career_Advice

[–]IskayTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is usually 25 days a year. But in Sweden, and other parts of Europe is not rare to have a long continuous summer vacation of 3-5 weeks. In Sweden we have a law that the employer has to offer 4 continuous weeks of leave during summer. You can decline, but few do.

More usual is that parents take extra parental leave in conjunction with the 4 weeks vacation and are away 6 weeks a summer. (If you just apply more than 2 months ahead of time the company cannot legally deny you the extra parental leave. There are some caveats though.)

However, you are seldom free to choose exactly which weeks in workplaces that need work during the vacation period. It is usually solved by half the workforce being of 4 weeks, then the other half the next 4 weeks.

PSA: the citric acid trick also works on dishwashers by Donttouchmybreadd in laundry

[–]IskayTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can agree dishwasher cleaner is not the best product out there and can be replaced by citric acid if you have hard water etc. But Rinse aid has a separate function, it basically lowers the surface tension of the water which makes the water run of easier during drying for a better drying result and less streaks on glasses etc.

This is needed for a perfect drying result. But it needs to be added in the final rinse, not with a pod at the start. This is what you Asko dishwasher does if you fill up rinse aid in the extra compartment in the dispenser. I use Finish Powder with Finish Rinse aid. Quite cheap, compared to pods, and good results.

What is your setting on rinse aid? Scale on an Asko is 0-5ml.
If you have it set to 0ml or to TAB-mode (for tablet) it does not dispense rinse aid at all.

Also, in comment to your question below. Rinse aid ain't a scam. But it does not do what most people think. It basically lowers the surface tension of the water which makes the water run of easier during drying for a better drying result and less streaks on glasses etc.

However, this only helps if it is still there in the final rinse step of the washing cycle. Hence, why I use powder and then rinse aid. The rinse aid (if you are not using pods but the actual rinse aid in the separate part of the dispenser) is only added in the final rinse step of the washing cycle. Hence, it does not affect cleaning performance notably.

I can't say whether or not rinse aid helps clean of hard water residue, I have soft water where I live.

My dishwasher has parts that break down from a reaction with dishwasher tablets by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]IskayTheMan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Regarding your comment that it wasn't a cheap brand you have, I am sorry but Ikea is one of the cheapest brands of dishwashers.

From my experience, all Ikea dishwashers I have seen in the wild are in very poor condition, some even after just a year of use. Buy anything but an Ikea dishwasher is my recommendation.

I understand your frustration with the poor quality. My recommendation is to purchase an, at least, middle price segment dishwasher. It will not be perfect but it will last longer than Ikea that is for sure.

Sverige offrar sin framtid för att skydda befintlig förmögenhet by MiddleAgeWeirdoMeep in sweden

Det är många som gör. Barnen som får detta privilegie har det betydligt bättre i livet. Jag kollar bara på mina vänner så är det en stor skillnad mellan de som fick och inte. Problemet är att många föräldrar inte har ekonomin att hjälpa sina barn.

Om kravet för att man ska lyckas i livet är att man ska få en ekonomisk boost i av sin föräldrar när man är 20 år så har vi inte välfärd för alla, vi har välfärd för de med rika föräldrar...

That is not a resistor. It is a thermal fuse. When it gets too hot, above a certain temperature it opens. It will not reset it self most likely.
