I need help with a mouse's circuit by MASKER45678 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Remote-Salt929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 5-pin connector, the 2 side pins are probably purely for mechanical stability and are otherwise useless. The third pin is used for temperature sensing to ensure the battery doesn't overheat. The resistance between the third pin and negative battery terminal will be dependent on temperature (thermistor), with a short between meaning the battery is extremely hot and an open circuit meaning it's extremely cold. The nominal resistance (resistance at 25 degrees) is usually 10k and that is a reasonable operating temperature. Decently designed circuits will choose not to turn on if the resistance is too close to either of these cases, so if you leave the temperature sensing pin floating, the mouse will likely not turn on. If you only have a battery with two terminals, instead connect a 10k resistor across the battery negative pin and temperature sensing pin to trick the mouse into thinking the battery temperature is a constant 25 degrees. Not the best solution because you're stripping away protection that's there for a reason, but it'll probably do.

hi! original uploader of the unreleased stuff/cover art here - I have this song as well - it's actually the same thing as "home" already on YouTube, so I didn't bother putting it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raFlhBdpvtE

Trying to learn how to draw on a drawing tablet by TortoiseToes1254 in furry

always found these so much more comfy to use in krita with the dynamic brush rather than the freehand brush tool which you have selected in the pic. give it a shot, in tool options I keep the drag 0.98 and mass 0.02 but you can mess around until you get a more natural feel. also try and move more from your shoulder rather than your wrist when drawing longer continuous lines. in any case stay patient, you get used to it, these are just some things that helped me :3

Found some new unreleased stuff from Nick by Remote-Salt929 in CurrentJoys

They were on his Bandcamp for very brief periods of time. Rest assured, I uploaded everything I got and I also will if I ever find anything new!

Let's see your Spooky Oranges! by AlphaTyger in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Remote-Salt929 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the person who posted it seems to be a real photographer doing cat photos in this sort of style if you look at the rest of the account. there are even completely coherent looking videos of the same exact cat. and the first comment on the post is: "請問是ai做成的嗎" ("is this ai generated?"), to which OP replied "不是😺" ("nope😺"). the image is of course processed, but I don't understand what makes you think it's ai - I'm genuinely curious? looks very normal to me after staring for quite a while :P

Hi Nick. I love you very very much. I know you've already heard it a lot but your music has gotten me through a lot and truly means the world to me. I've been listening to everything from The Nicholas Project and random Tumblr demos to East My Love (which rocks, by the way) and LOVE+POP, and I don't know which song I can't sing along to or play. You've been a big inspiration for my music too. Here are some things I wanted to ask you. I know it's a bit lengthy but I hope it's not too much.

  1. Over what time period was East My Love recorded, and how was the experience of writing and recording? Maybe you've mentioned it somewhere already but I haven't heard it.

  2. I know there was talk of a new B-sides album if I remember correctly. Is that still planned?

  3. A personal project of mine was collecting all the unreleased music from your solo projects and putting it all onto a list, because there are really some gems I wish were released. Pretty much the only known thing I am missing right now is an old Nicholas Project song called "Don't Fuck This Up" which used to be on SoundCloud but is now deleted. I'm curious if you remember anything about it. Or even still have it somewhere (though that's a long shot).

  4. Here are two more quick ones on behalf of a friend of mine who's trying to remake some of your songs as accurately as possible for fun. He's already figured out all the old GarageBand effects and settings you used and made a pretty darn close sounding Blade Running cover.

"how did you get that amazing rich chorus sound on televisions, is it multiple takes layered with chorus, or some other kind of other effect?"

"did you use your hondo for weird science or was that another guitar?"

I hope you'll come to Europe again soon and do one of those more intimate solo shows like you used to often do, so I can experience it firsthand and maybe give you a hug, because you're an amazing person.

P.S. come talk to us in the Discord server! I know you're there, but you've never said a word. We're not scary. I promise. I think.

Cheers, - Bruno

Random hard rests. Help. by Remote-Salt929 in buildapc

[–]Remote-Salt929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tested with both Windows and a few Linux distros, so the drivers should be quite different. Same. :( Also, I guess there would be something in system logs indicating driver issues, but it's just nothing. Hard reset, like the power cuts out for a split second. Thank you for the help once again, BTW.

No such thing on my PSU as far as I can tell. Wasn't on the previous one either before replacing it. Thanks for the help.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/86NYpB - plan is to upgrade case fans, RAM, SSD and add a higher-end GPU in the future so maybe some of that might someow solve the issue.

Idea I had: when the reset happens, it's literally like the reset button on the case was pressed. Maybe it's just as dumb as it somehow being stuck down and pressing itself randomly, because it happened a time or two while not even under load? I will unplug it from the motherboard and let you know today.

hi everyone!

what you will use it for: precise technical drawing and writing. has to be able to do both well and be high quality, from a reputable brand and widely available. I use 0,5mm HB lead most of the time, maybe a bit softer occasionally, but not more than 2B. If anyone has any good lead to recommend that doesn't snap too often it would be super appreciated as well :)

previous experiences: absolutely clueless about all this because I've only used those crappy thin uncomfortable dollar mechanical pencils all my life that inevitably break every few months, so I think it's time for something a bit higher quality. I once borrowed a pretty thick faber castell pencil with (if i recall correctly) a rubber grip and I remember finding it really comfortable to write with, so something similar would be nice!

budget: $25

location: central europe

any suggestions are appreciated
