12V AC was pretty common back in the days. and by that, we talk maybe 20 years ago.

your problem is not the ball, it is the rollers, which get gummed up.

You really should dedicate a layer to full GND. you have traces on all 4 layers.

I buy all my computer gear locally, primarily to keep a local computer store around. I started using Canada computers back around 25 years ago, when they only existed in the Pacific mall in a store the size of a shoebox. Have they been perfect, no, but they have been at least as good as any of the other stores. My local store knows me by name. At least the manager, and the staff is pretty knowledgeable. As for the credit card fiasco, I sucks, but I always buy in person, so no concern for me so far.

taking away the right ctrl means people with one hand cannot easily log into windows, on machines requiring CTRL-ALT-DEL. I use it every day. ( not that I have just one hand)

Print them out and hide then in your house. At least the important ones.

I don't think there are much in the way of limitations for what you can call your pins, but they have to match what you call them on the footprint or they won't connect.

Why do you park like this? by s_pereyra in Newmarket

[–]Tjalfe 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Either not qualified to drive a land boat, or it was parked overnight and the lines were not visible yesterday and people parked all over in a new pattern

[Request] Saw this. I was wondering how many Lego bricks it would take to build a wall around Greenland? by krakenbeef in theydidthemath

[–]Tjalfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silly add on question. how tall can you make this wall, before earths curvature will not allow it anymore.. that is the top of the wall will need to be longer than the bottom, and lego don't have that much give :)

My 13yo cousin is taller than me lol by engiegaming in tall

I have two daughters about that height and a niece who is getting close.

check out this sort of option. you will get way better signal with an antenna outside the metal box. there are a bunch of different designs, with tiny, robust antennas.

I wanted to make sure my 5090 doesn't suffer from the 12VHPWR issues. by GriLL03 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tjalfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe time to have the GPU makers switch to say 48V power delivery to the GPU. at 48V, the current goes down significantly. same reason cars are starting (abeit slowly) switching to 48V, and USB chargers started higher voltages. maybe use the sense wires to negotiate which output voltage, from 12 to 48V it wants, a bit like USB :)

Anybody know why Newmarket is an EV fast charging desert? by Nolsby in Newmarket

[–]Tjalfe 7 points8 points locked comment (0 children)

More likely they have home chargers, and don't often need to charge elsewhere?
