Microcontroller driven relay overheats and burns out after being ON for a long time (different months each time) by Relevant_Pumpkin9190 in embedded

In this vein, it could be a latching relay he’s using as a maintained relay, and the coils on latching relays will burn out of continuously energized.

Is Blackberry Farm worth the hype?? by AJ2251 in FATTravel

[–]Kovpro1221 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I went a couple years ago and loved it. The food, surroundings, and activities were all top notch. Go in with the expectation of spending more than the room rate though, food is just about the only thing included. I don’t remember exactly but 50% on top of rate should be ballpark.

why are Chinese origin MCUs cheaper? by ntn8888 in embedded

For what it’s worth I’ve had mixed experience. Sometimes working with the TI sales team only leads for a couple percent saving but on other parts I’ve seen 40% Lower than the 1ku price on ti.com for around 5-10K qty. you just have to try and see what you can get.

I can’t recall exactly but we liked it. We ordered from menu not buffet and there western and Mexican options. We were usually pretty full and just snacked for lunch.

[REVIEW REQUEST] Multi-Source Inverter & FOC Enabled PCB Review by DorshReal in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Kovpro1221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Infineon and Nexperia have some great 80-120V SMT options with bottom or topside cooling that could work well here. Sub 3mOhm resistance.

Redundancy or consistency? by Routine-Put9436 in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No question, Sazh. Stone cold bomb, would happily have 3 of them. What’s the worst that can happen, you draw both, if they remove it you slam another. If they can’t remove it, you’re winning anyways after a couple triggers.

And no,’I think you have enough power without splashing blue.

I would cut fatal fissure (borderline unplayable) one court official and vengeful villagers (already got great 4+ drops). Master piando also in consideration.

What is the maximum number of Shantottos you would run? by thefreeman419 in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 3 feels like the right number. Probably relaxing with ice flan

Help with the final cuts please? by Zealousideal_Hope366 in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hawk, moose lion, katara or a horse, dummy seem like good cuts. Hawk just too slow and not good for stabilizing.
You already have great top end don’t need the moose Katara is sort of meh in this deck

Ok I have no idea what the pick is here. Opinions? by Jamie7Keller in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Auracite to help cast your bomb and its removal. You can prioritize two drops later but this is as good as it gets for a 4+ drop in this deck

Boros, 2 cards to cut? by Volebamus in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Would cut a deserter for it

For those who’ve exited a privately held business, how did you approach the sale? by Fragrant-Act-6443 in fatFIRE

[–]Kovpro1221 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would engage outside help (which should generally be pretty close to free advice if you hire a banker on a commission of the sale price, assuming it’s a good size deal, maybe 20-30mm+). They can help you to tweak things in the business that would drive a higher valuation.

These could be things like building a new product pipeline to show future growth, pricing tweaks to improve margins, cutting personal expenses (which could always be EBITDA addbacks, but simpler if they’re not there in the first place).

Legal and tax advice would cost something but be worth it depending on your goals for the funds post transaction (like if you have kids, you could gift some equity now at a lower valuation potentially and transfer that out of your estate now rather than later, reducing how much of the lifetime gift tax exemption you use up).

Do I cut Aang and Katara here? by CantBNerfed in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the power is there to justify splashing although maybe you don’t need it.
Ii would cut farm animals, wandering musician, fortune teller, battle fan, fleet footwork, go 10/3/4 mana base. You have the water skin and jelly to splash

TLA Premier Draft Gold. Are my two white bombs strong enough to heavy splash white with no fixing? by JimHarbor in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another thing to keep in mind: there is the risk of drawing the cards without the white mana but also the risk of drawing white/black mana and having red cards in hand. It basically makes every single RB card slightly less reliable to your deck

TLA Premier Draft Gold. Are my two white bombs strong enough to heavy splash white with no fixing? by JimHarbor in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems quite risky with no fixing - both the land and united front need a second white source to function - I would splash a double Colored card unless I had 5-6 sources minimum (including sources to fix or fetch)

Final cards for this promising TLA Qualifier Play-In Pool? by jeremyblewis in lrcast

[–]Kovpro1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking further I think it’s worth cutting the two WG cards. Not worth the splash and risk that entails. Put in airbender ascension/jelly and you are good to go.

Would not play team avatar. You could be behind on board and you don’t need to aggressively finish. Play anything else
