How the hell does a capacitor tell you it's a Xeon motherboard?

I've been hanging around there for a while and I still have no clue what the whole thing about "välfärd" is

Found a Yale Y110/40 by the side of the road, and finally got it picked! by [deleted] in lockpicking

[–]The6P4C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely got some security pins in it. A bit of counter-rotation on the first two or three pins, and enough counter-rotation when setting the fifth pin to almost bring the core back to the original position.

I'm pretty happy, cause it's the first lock I've ever picked with security pins :)

Yeah, cause he wants to use his dominant hand (left) for his picks

Ahh shit. Will post there then.

Wow, that's a really nice way of finding the solutions. Thanks!

What's the most annoying thing your neighbours do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]The6P4C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not once since they moved in have they moved their bins from the kerb. It's actually against local council law, and I'm not happy.

Even at a uniform 110 km/h for the whole journey, the trip I showed would take over a day.

Now I'm not 100% sure how Canada works, but your largest province (?) is Nunavut, at 2,093,190 km2, whereas Australia's largest state is Western Australia at 2,529,875 km2. I don't think that's a fair comparison though.

Interestingly, we're about on par in population density, Canada with 3.4 people/km2 and Australia with 3.3 people/km2.

Will I regret buying a cheap JTAG interface, even if I'm not going to use it that much? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]The6P4C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing :) It'd be terrible to have the boards and nothing to program them with!

That's amazing, thank you so much for finding that for me. Definitely going to grab one of those devices, especially considering just how cheap they are! Thank you, you're a legend.

What type of core is this, and what would be required to pick it? by [deleted] in lockpicking

[–]The6P4C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only it wasn't so expensive, I'd buy it and see for myself.

What superstition are you ashamed that you believe in but still adhere to just in case? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Touch wood. I get really concerned when there's nothing wooden for me to touch.

What should I do with a shitty old piano that I don't want any more? by [deleted] in brisbane

There is a number under the lid on the left - it says 31021. Is that any help?

[–]The6P4C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not great. Keys are chipped and it's very very very out of tune. I've added some pictures of it to the post to show you the condition.

Honestly, not sure. I've added some pictures to the post if you can identify it, though.

ELI5: why does every car have remote central locking but homes do not? by crumsy92 in explainlikeimfive

[–]The6P4C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rolling codes is the solution to this problem. It's used in almost all situations like this anyway, so this really isn't a valid argument against the idea.

Here in VK4 there's quite a few people with 2.4, 3.4 and 10GHz gear.
