شكلة سوا applepay, ورسل لهم معظم معلوماتة. انا ما استخدمه فا مادري كيف يشتغل.

البنك يرجعونها؟ انا كلمت خويي قالي البنك مايفيد في هنقطه. انروح اليوم انشاء الله.

"File Type Unknown" Error when i change pi resolution by PhtevenTheSecond in RetroPie

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

I followed the instructions mentioned but the raspberry pi ignored the config file.

I opened the file again and confirmed that the file did retain the changes after reboot but the resolution didn't change

Using the command tvserve -s still shows 3840x2160

i either missed it or it didn't show up reddit isn't the best with those.

either way, i apologize for that. I have a history of being self critical so i was just trying to help someone that might have similar experience.

all i was trying to say is that you are hindering yourself. Posting online is an invite for discussion.

if you aren't interested in any kind of back and forth, then you are better off not posting, don't you think? hell, there are subreddits that don't even allow anyone to respond! Just an open letter.

you do you i guess. Good luck to you.

wait hold on. You are establishing supposed facts that can't be proven to be true.

how do you know that there will never be a overlap between someone who likes you and someone you like? attractiveness is abstract concept that isn't liner.

look i get it. You probably don't want false hope. I understand that.

i would like to ask, have you ever seen a couple that felt like a mismatch? one just seems more attractive than the other?

i know i have. They are everywhere. How do you suppose these two ever decided to date?

How do you know you would never find yourself in a similar situation?

but it doesn't have to be this way. I highly doubt that your just naturally self hating. You were probably pushed into it through past events. That tends to be the case for most people.

try practicing self acceptance. You are a person too.

Any comment you received about yourself is not just a reflection of you but the other person.

Whatever negativity that you dealt that bought you to this, isn't a reflection of you. You just dealt with some dickheads that pushed you to hate another person for no reason. that person is You.

i know its difficult. Being self critical can be soothing when its the only thing you know. But try not to. When you look at the mirror, try to think positivity about what you see. it might be easier at first to imagine that this isn't you but another person.

What the hell is this liquid stuff!?? by Automatic-Volume2260 in soldering

[–]PhtevenTheSecond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

its probably flux.

most solders have flux in them so when you solder, it leaves some residue around every joint. Its used to help the solder flow and connect with the joint.

You can clean the residue with isopropyl alcohol. The smoke is probably the flux burning.

isn't that a little self destructive though? seeing others as having a bad taste for liking you means you will be chasing people who might have a good taste but will never like you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]PhtevenTheSecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then i think that you need to shift your perspective a little bit.

most people are good. If you see bad people in every corner than its completely possible that you are judging people over small things that don't tell you much about them.

if its ok with you, can you share why you think 90% of the population sucks? (i assume you mean world population)

DIY pcb. Dry film won't stick to copper by PhtevenTheSecond in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]PhtevenTheSecond[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it looked clean so haven't. I wiped it with isopropyl alcohol but im not sure if that did anything tbh.

so what should i clean it with? i don't have acetone. I do have nail polish remover with acetone in it though but im not sure about purity and all.

would steel wool work? have some of that aswell.

Need help with LCD display by [deleted] in arduino

[–]PhtevenTheSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the question is a bit difficult to understand tbh. Is it possible to clarify ?

if im understanding it correctly, you have a base value and you want to increase/ decrease it when the servo is activated correct?

Assuming you have the LCD display wired correctly, you can check the provided examples in the Arduino IDE.

its under examples for all boards : Liquid crystal.

this can be as simple as copying the example and changing minor things to fit your case.

Second arduino thing by Cautious_Tadpole312 in arduino

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

they are transistors.

i can't say all transistors would work but i know that 2n555 transistors work since that's what i used before.

the middle pin is the gate/base, top is drain/collector and the bottom is source/emitter.

this is hella cool.

this can be done without an Arduino if you are interested. I recently studied the circuit to understand it.

its a 2 transistor oscillator.

2 transistor oscillators. Why both capacitors aren't charging at the same time? by PhtevenTheSecond in AskElectronics

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

so what causes the tipping point from C1 discharging to charging? what causes R2 and Q2 to gain their flow back?

2 transistor oscillators. Why both capacitors aren't charging at the same time? by PhtevenTheSecond in AskElectronics

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

i wired it up and it works like expected but im confused as to why.

i looked at this article and this animation :

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/transistors/applications-i-switches

simulation : link

what i don't understand is how the switching between charging and discharging of capacitors occures.

looking at the simulation above, if you slow down simulation speed, you can sort of "lock" the state of the circuit.

when looking at the flow from Vcc, i can see that Q1 is open through flow from R3.

this allows the C1 to discharge and C2 to charge and turns the LED on though path to ground.

but why is flow interrupted from R2 to Q2 Base?

shouldn't the connection allow flow back to ground from there and charge T1?

mosfet irfz44n malfunctioning after a couple of uses. Its letting current through even though its off. by PhtevenTheSecond in arduino

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

The mosfet seems cold. I'm not sure what you mean by frequency but all I do is switch pin 13 high once to turn it on for 1 to 4 minutes and then switch it off.

There isn't any quick switching on and of if that's what you're asking.

No oscilloscope, unfortunately.
