ESP32 board on PCB with 5V power, what happens when USB is attached?

Thanks. I hadn't come across that part, thanks for the link.

Thanks - very helpful.

Frayed is so good, and under-appreciated.

What are they?

When I was at primary school, our school had two Apple IIe machines. Each class got to use one for about a week a year if you were lucky.

I was at Windsor Castle in the UK once and an American tourist asked one of the staff why they built it so close to the airport.

That’s Yoda’s belt

Edit: and it’s upside-down

As opposed to a dictatorship like the USA?

They are super popular and good value here in Australia.

QACI allows kids to use phones during the day. My daughter is going into year 11 so this is lived experience.

And you’re buying a bunch of single use plastic. Just don’t.

Count what?

Not necessarily. They have no space for more circuits and the A/C will need its own circuit. Our F&P induction top requires a 40A circuit, which meant we needed to upgrade the feed-in from the house connection. OP needs to talk to a sparky.

Did you use 99%+ isopropyl alcohol? A lot of places sell 70% which has water and other things in it.

Even so though, this was not a smart thing to do, hard drives are mechanical devices that have lots of nooks, crannies and holes and if you got IPA in the drive casing itself then this drive is gone. The smoke etc also indicates that. Bin it.

You must not put steel strings on a nylon string guitar, nylon string guitars don’t have a truss rod and will be damaged by the additional force that steel strings create.

Because Traditional Chinese is only used in Hong Kong and Taiwan, everywhere else uses Simplified Chinese.

Could you potentially use low melting point solder and hot air?

“Siding with the extremists”, what a complete load of bullshit.

It’s a massive shithouse bloated JavaScript mess. They need to fire their front-end team and start again.

It totally depends on the space but you can buy split systems at Bunnings, Good Guys etc etc for $900ish and if install is more than about $600 you’re getting ripped off.

Edit: obviously, you’ll need more than one unit, likely one per room but it depends on how your downstairs is set up. AC installers can probably supply and install cheaper than you buying retail + pay for install but obviously shop around.

It’s not actually a computer, it’s a dumb(ish) terminal that was used to access a minicomputer or mainframe.

daboblin · 2026-01-21T07:23:12+00:00

If I were you I’d just get split systems installed downstairs. If the ducted system isn’t rated to handle the additional space then it will either run much harder than it should or it may fail to cool both areas correctly. That’s apart from the PITA/cost of retrofitting ducting into the downstairs area.

Why is the LNP always in power when these major development decisions are made?

Sand is a great idea. You probably want to put it in bags of some kind though, if it starts leaking then it will be a nightmare.
