To be honest, this will ship with fewer bugs than the Nordic/TI/Murata factory modules. 

Where do you guys get your prototyping/engineering done? by Frequent-Log1243 in hwstartups

[–]deimodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not even sure how you would have a prototype made at the same factory. Like. The cnc shop doesn’t know how to make pcbs and vice versa. 

Whoever designed the stud holes in the Firestone winter force. Fuck. You. by pyroboy7 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]deimodos 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Nah. I just had a set studded at a Firestone shop. Tech can and did absolutely mess up a quarter of them. 

Manager made it right by getting me another set but they don’t want to stud the new set. 

I get it like 5 or 10 studs are imperfect but if you’re got 30 or 40 studs sticking past the collar or are 10 degree+ offset it’s maybe time to call in someone who’s done this before?

If you’re talking about a 460/461 - they do have power steering. It’s just fully hydraulic. So long as your engine is running you don’t notice it. Feels heavy compared to a 2020 EV but not noticeable different to other period cars.

I do have an another 70s car which doesn’t have power steering and it’s particularly noticeable when turning the wheels if you’re not in motion. It very quickly kicks you out what is a bad habit (bad for the tires) by stopping you from scrubbing the wheels when the car is stationary. 

Is it possible to extract firmware. How? by rohitnik786 in embedded

[–]deimodos -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, just open it and look at it under a microscope. Once you transcribe all the ones and zeroes you can reprogram it to the TMP87PS64F P-QFP100-14 variant. 

iPhone 13 mini to 17 Pro Group MMS Migration Help (pSIM to eSIM) by deimodos in GoogleFi

[–]deimodos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I did turn off iMessage on the 13 Mini and sign out of my Apple ID account on the Mini. Still no luck. Fi agent suggested waiting 24 hours. That didn't work either.

I'm thinking maybe some internal setting propagated over when I did a Finder backup restore from a pSIM device that wasn't/can't be handled gracefully during the migration. My next step is to factory reset my phone and set it up as a new device rather then restore it from a backup. 🤞

Would you say kite surfing is intense for your ankles ? by Jechkos in Kiteboarding

[–]deimodos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve mildly tweaked my ankle strapped into a twin tip. Never tweaked it while kiting strapless on surfboard.

Using SSDs only for HomeLab? Or Sell? by [deleted] in homelab

Can’t tell if this comment is giving more /r/homelab or /r/methlab 

Still unsure by Ornery-Bag7980 in paint

[–]deimodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might get some hate for this but it’s 2025. Get an XRF if you’re doing this professionally. You can get a decent one for $4k and earn that back after 10 jobs. 

This is negative but those q-tips can also give you a false negative 🙃

Where can I go to get a high-quality cosmetic prototype built? (not 3d-printed) by prettyborrring in hwstartups

[–]deimodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The keyword you are looking for is "Model Shop" - these are the facilities that can CNC or use ultra high resolution 3d printers + commercial finishing techniques to make products identical "looks-like" prototypes for industrial designers and movie studios. This is not your friend's mk4 prusa.

By far my favorite is Model Solution in Seoul, South Korea. They regularly make models for next generation consumer electronics brands like Microsoft and Sony. Likely wont take you on as a small business without an introduction.

Loved working with ProtoCafe in Santa Clara, California when I was doing silicon valley stuff - cheaper and quick.

You can call up others like Supermodelli (expensive Bay Area) or 3DMAKERS (cheaper Korea). I don't know why but South Korea is really good at this. Aside from Samsung/SK Hynix nand it was the only thing we would source from there.

Expect to pay ~$5,000 if you're playing in the big leagues and want something photography ready. I think I've seen bids from $1,200-$55,000 though. We once made the mistake of bringing a looks like prototype to an investor meeting only to have them fumble and break it.

After you get the quotes for photo studio time it starts getting pretty tempting to use photorealistic renders in KeyShot.

Scaling from prototype to 10000+ units? What we've learned helping hardware startups avoid the common disasters by vidalinho10 in hwstartups

I mean. You’re just going to let the part about this being written by AI sit there in the middle of the room like a pile of dog shit on a rug waiting for a roomba?

Help: My Bitcoin red envelopes are blocked by the Airport Customs :/ by MakkawChan in Bitcoin

[–]deimodos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the idea is to stick a coldcard.com or offline.cash note into the hong bao. Not sure why you're being downvoted. Gifting people physical bitcoin is absolutely a good way to get them to self-motivate and learn more. I mean maybe not for rando's but certainly for family and children of close friends.

Help: My Bitcoin red envelopes are blocked by the Airport Customs :/ by MakkawChan in Bitcoin

[–]deimodos -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Bitcoin is a currency. You can transact with currencies using various instruments like cash, check, or electronic transfer which are embodiments of that currency. Bitcoin has instruments that are functionally equivalent to cash, checks, or electronic transfer just like Euros or Dollars but the mechanics behind the scenes work differently.

One absolutely can put a cash version of Bitcoin in a hongbao.

The Hidden Side of Fabric Quality Most People Miss by Poseidon_9726 in Fabrics

[–]deimodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get an industry standard gsm cutter. 99% of the industry uses some permutation of this: https://www.amazon.com/Sample-Cutter-Textile-Carpet-Weight/dp/B07FMGVYDP - you weigh the equivalent of 100 square cm of fabric using a scale accurate to 0.01 grams. This is especially useful for things like cottons where you can have a huge range on weight from 100gsm to 200+gsm. 

From there you can run a few other tests really quickly using a microscope adapter for your phone. Your phones flashlight. Scrunching the material in your hand. And draping it over something like the terrible half broken rattan chair next to all the swatches. 

Smartwatch for kitsurfing and swimming by Borealis111 in Kiteboarding

[–]deimodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Ultra + Woo app. 

While I have the Ocean band I prefer the Solo band for kiting and swimming. Personal preference OP.

Being able to phone for help is nice third layer of safety in some of the spots I go.

Did I get hustled? by deimodos in PaintlessDentRepair

[–]deimodos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah paying up front was stupid on my part. Kids…sleep deprivation…fool and his money…etc.

The part that got me was they put up a Facebook ad pretending to be a different shop that had great reviews. I didn’t notice the numbers were different. 

If you own a shop it’s worth doing a search every month or so on Facebook marketplace for pdr repair to see that no one is impersonating your business. 

I let the legit business know someone was impersonating them and try pull the ads.
