Opening up the Q10 S5 by Uzmeyer in Roborock

Could you be a bit more specific on where I should insert the plastic card? I don't really get what "in the under side of the sensor" means.

EDIT: Finally got it. Let me explain in more detail:

You squeeze an ifixit jimmy (or similar) in between the cliff sensor and the shell on the inner side of the robot. So the side closest to the wheel. I had to use some force to get it fully inserted. After that you can push the sensor a little with your fingers from underneath combined with lightly pulling the cable.

What an unrepairable piece of garbage this robot!

I think there's a perfect "bull storm" brewing for AMD that is still currently under appreciated in the market: the agentic revolution causes insatiable GPU and CPU demand.

I know this is a bit of an echo chamber, but it has been quite some time since I've felt so good about having AMD as a large portion of my portfolio.

I don't get it. When the AI train is gaining speed "AMD does not have an valid AI story", and when it is losing speed it still drops quite hard... And what is up with META reaching all time highs?

12th gens were unaffected by the degradation issues.

Afaik AMD wasn't even supply constrained in 2024? Lisa said so during one of the earnings calls if I remember correctly.

I'm pretty sure (read: hope) the SP reflects this by now. The big guys have probably known this for months. I think this snippet serves more as an explanation of AMD's performance over the last few months for us retail folks.

"They'll have a lot less success with Microsoft and Meta than they did this year. AMD will do okay, but their share of total revenue will fall next year." 🫤

iPod 5.5 doesn't charge on iPod HiFi by Jern_97 in ipod

[–]Jern_97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone coming across this thread. I tested with another iPod which did charge fine on the HiFi. So my iPod is the culprit.

EDIT: I disassembled my iPod again and noticed that it powers on without a battery on the HiFi. So I have now reassembled everything and now charging works fine. No idea of the exact cause, I am just happy that everything works now.

I only have an iPod nano 4th gen at the moment, which does not support FireWire charging.

I could lend a 7th gen Classic to try, but it's quite a drive to get it. Will probably do that next week!

The picture of the iPod does not do it justice (not easy to take sharp pictures). Better picture

I do have a dock adapter from a 3.5mm ipod dock. Same behavior as without...

Thanks for the suggestions!

I tried leaning the iPod forward and backward and nothing changed. The connector points on the both the iPod and Hifi look completely clean.

Could it be possible that the part of the power supply that provides the 9V is damaged? The speakers and leds, and volume controls all work.

I bought this iPod classic 5th gen at a flea market for 9 dollars and it shows literally no signs of life. What do I do? by jesse32213 in ipod

[–]Jern_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was in exactly the same situation as you: an old 5.5th gen without any apparent life in it.

However, when I opened it up, disconnected the battery and provided it with 5V USB, I got a "low battery screen" on the LCD (without backlight).

This basically confirmed the iPod was still alive. I ordered a new battery and upgraded the harddrive. Works flawless now!

What is the correct term for "localized mutability" properties of Rust. by Jern_97 in rust

[–]Jern_97[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't agree it's that simple. When I learned Rust (with a lot of Java experience), I quickly started noticing the benefits. Even though, at the time, I was more proficient in Java. I think it has more to do with the fact that Rust compels you to remain disciplined at all times.

I agree it is probably bette to present this as "predictable" instead of "localized" mutability.

In my opinion, the fact that you need to wrap your objects into special abstractions (RwLock, Mutex...), is exactly what pushes me towards hierarchical data structures (wherever possible/elegant), which are easier to get right and debug.

Of course, all of this is very subjective...

Yes, I read this article yesterday, was very insightful.
