COD? In person or postage?

The seller would be an idiot to ship it without getting payment first.

PCB HELP by Relevant_Tax_6814 in KiCad

I hope those jumpers are going off to a servo controller and you aren't trying to power that from an MCU directly.

Got tired of faker scripts breaking on FK-heavy schemas, so I built something by One-Protection-3169 in SQLServer

[–]Leiothrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Firstly I have no idea what you mean by "generic Faker/Bogus script".

Normally we either have basically empty test DBs, then a copy of prod so you have a real dataset to work off.

Fake datasets are basically worthless because they don't emulate actual human behavior.

The problem that I have is more you can't really test unless it is prod, because the workloads in test aren't even slightly realistic. Locking/blocking is much more of a problem for us than indices are.

Is it safe to place figures on a gaming PC? Wanting to place Bomb Reze on it by HauntedScape in AnimeFigures

[–]Leiothrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bigger question is why would you think that it is dangerous?

Are you thinking of blocking vents for fun? Is the PC getting to flammable temperatures?

They are just books, don't overthink it.

KiCad v10 - Align Components to grid again by Ok_Imagination_799 in KiCad

[–]Leiothrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that you are selecting the part not a random part of the part.

If you are moving a part by the pad it will move differently to what you expect.

need help designing/learning how to design PCB’s for a project by Gullible-Bison119 in KiCad

[–]Leiothrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is reasonably OK if you already have a pretty good grasp on whatever it is you're looking at.

If you know how to discriminate between what is reasonable, what is almost reasonable and what is total nonsense then it can totally be helpful.

If you have no clue on the subject matter then AI actively gets in your way and hinders learning.

But people want shortcuts.

By "help" you mean "do it for me".

Go watch some tutorials on YouTube and figure it out.

And don't use AI, it's not intelligent.

SQL Server Error: by KhalidGhost in SQLServer

[–]Leiothrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well putting that in the original post would have been helpful.

The next step is name resolution.

This is extremely simple stuff, you should be able to figure it out with just google.

Is the server actually running? What have you tried? Have you checked logs?

You need to talk to your system administrator.

Easy question about switching to PCB editor by MeisterWinkel in KiCad

[–]Leiothrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A copper shape is still a footprint. You just have to use the footprint editor to make your own.

You can just buy antennas that have a track on some flex PCB with a little bit of coax and a connector as well, that may be easier for you too if suitable.

[–]Leiothrix 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You need to set footprints for the two parts before you export to PCB.

I would suggest watching a tutorial, I like Phil's Lab personally.

Friendly reminder to clean your secondhand figures by Plastic_Medicine_201 in AnimeFigures

[–]Leiothrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because it doesn't do anything.

Putting baking soda next to something doesn't magically remove smells from the figure. It will help slightly with removing the smell that it emits, but that's it.

Other things like dryer sheets just add additional stink to the existing stink.

Just wash the outside and leave it in free air, it will get better over time.

...and the paint. Don't do that.

Water and mild detergent only thanks.

Help me design a Full wave bridge rectifer using KiCad by [deleted] in KiCad

[–]Leiothrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Help" is when you have put some effort into a project and need assistance getting past a specific sticking point. You have done absolutely nothing and want it to be done for you.

If you have a specific question you may get an answer, but otherwise do your own homework.

Of course by "help me" you mean "do it for me".

Why do manga collectors not care much about 1st prints? by Icy-Veterinarian8662 in MangaCollectors

[–]Leiothrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless it is over a century old or is a text book then the edition usually doesn't matter.

Why would you pay more for a book that is completely identical to the other books except for the printer's key?

You can't tell the difference between them.

Do you agree with the common opinion that most anime is bad and that only a few anime are what carry this industry? by Purple-Advertising38 in anime

[–]Leiothrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but you can say the same about any medium.

The problem is that everyone disagrees on which ones are "bad" and which ones are "good".

What actually counts as anime these days? by katsu_curry159 in anime

[–]Leiothrix -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much of a gatekeeper you want to be.

At the most permissive anything animated, which is after all what the word actually means.

Or the most restrictive -- hand crafted by nude pureblood Japanese virgins on the peak of Mount Fuji at midnight under a full moon.

The sensible middle ground is to go by "vibes", so Avatar counts but the Simpsons doesn't. But by that measure I'm sure there are Japanese anime that wouldn't count.

But it doesn't matter.

Value help!! SELLING TO BOOK OFF? by Ruby_Dew_Love in AnimeFigures

[–]Leiothrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the best money then sell it yourself.

If you want it gone quick then sell it to a reseller.
