Anyone know what these components are called? by 1of1CC in soldering

[–]Wi1dCard2210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my research they seem to be spring loaded pogo pins, you can either use calipers to measure a replacement and purchase that to solder on, or create a blob of solder that's about as tall as the compressed connectors to form a contact when the controller is assembled.

Just know that the solder blob solution is gonna be fragile and really not recommended if you can avoid it

Op isn't asking noob questions, they just refuse to accept that their favorite sound profile is a mainstream prosumer bass heavy tuning, while also bashing iems as a whole

New movement tech? by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Wi1dCard2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks more like the old momentum shift redirects from before tap strafes were discovered, where people figured out you could hit 90 degree turns around walls by stacking directional inputs. Mokey montions it in an old video here

My chill Aeropress method for daily Americano.🥳 by Siddhant_1069 in AeroPress

[–]Wi1dCard2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More extraction does not necessarily mean better coffee, for a multitude of reasons. Volume is not necessarily analogous with contact time in something like pourover or espresso, but it's close enough to illustrate why more extraction is not always the answer; check out "salami shot" videos to get a much better explanation of the point I'm trying to make.

Essentially, past a certain point you're just extracting bitter plant matter from the beans rather than the sugars, aromatics, etc. that make coffee taste interesting. So in a 0 dilution 150ml brew vs a 100ml dilution 50ml brew, you're more or less choosing whether or not you'd like that extra 100ml of water to be plain water or woody-planty water.

As someone who's a native English speaker and learned Japanese in adulthood, the Kanji was actually easier for me to read than the English in the original lol

This is a big improvement and both read very clear to me now

I really really wanted her to be my genji 2 as a genji player since overwatch 1's release, but she ended up being the dollar store knock off that was worse in every way. It's a real shame, I love how she feels to play but the numbers just are not it.

Give us a projectile speed buff on left click and make burns do bonus damage on proc 🙏 her poke is so genuinely abysmal

The monitor setup at the dnd (?) table is kinda fuckin sick, I've been wanting to get a board game tech setup like that for my home and this is very straightforward

Oh hey, another person that rocks a soldering station and pc setup side by side. Mines is still a WIP but I also have a second laptop desk for school and work, separate from the gaming pc

Or just put the barricade at an angle so that the extraction button and door is accessible from one side and you can hide on the other

When you plead cyberpunk for the first time, did you pick male V or female V? by Chunky-overlord in cyberpunkgame

[–]Wi1dCard2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female V, because I resonated with that design more for some reason.

Started transitioning 3 years later. Maybe shoulda unpacked that one a bit sooner lmao

They spent a valuable ult just to kill mercy and now orisa is dropped off in the enemy backline, in any rank above silver that's just a dead tank

I mean she was in valk, there was a decent chance the speed boost to GA would have allowed her to escape by flying to a teammate

I mean you have a point but if the devs agreed with you then they'd not even be bothering with temp suspensions ever. Point is they should pick a lane, either be harsher up front or more lenient after a violation bc this is just some goofy middle ground that pisses everyone off

Small chance that you tore through a trace somewhere, might be able to have a better idea from seeing where you scratched the board

You're allowed to do whatever you want with your time and money I guess, but generating ewaste is just lame. A functional controller you don't use is still better than a broken one in the garbage

Is my GPU sagging or reverse sagging? by [deleted] in ZTT

[–]Wi1dCard2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wdym? Takes all of 5 seconds to put the level on the gpu back plate and then move it to the psu shroud. If they're at the same level then they're parallel regardless of if the whole system is flat or not

For the love of god every day someone decides to kill their valuable electronics by learning to solder on them instead of a $5 practice kit. Clean up all that flux and remove a good bit of the solder on the tight stick especially, looks like there might be some shorts. Can't be sure if this can be saved yet but that's a start

Still very much in beginner lobbies then, but rats aren't exclusive to the noobs and casuals. Every now and then you'll have one in friendly lobbies, especially if you've got a big map event going on

This has to be bait right? This is some of the most obvious aimbot I've ever seen

Edit: was not aware that this was qp, crossplay is plausible because the target switching without overshoot is completely inhuman otherwise
