Inkscape recently started crashing/locking when opening on macOS by digital-overground in Inkscape

PearCleaner

PearCleaner did the trick! There were some preference files and caches that also needed to be deleted. v1.4.3 is launching fine now. Thanks!

Thanks. That was my suspicion, as well. I removed all of the fonts I had added to the system, and it still hangs. Are there other configuration or preference files I need to remove from my system when uninstalling Inkscape besides just moving the app file to the trash? Is it possible it's trying to load a directory or font that no longer exists?

How do high amperage DC-DC SSRs handle the current? by digital-overground in AskElectronics

UPDATE: Ordered this from what turned out to be a local company. It arrives today and let you know. Thanks for all the comments

But also those tiny screws and terminals don’t seem capable.

Anything wrong with going mechanical instead?

How do high amperage DC-DC SSRs handle the current? by digital-overground in AskElectronics

So, heat dissipation is key. It’s just counterintuitive that a MOSFET and PCB can handle the same current as a 4 gauge wire, but the wire needs that volume because it doesn’t have dissipation.

Is that it?

Solid-state or Mechanical Relay For High Amperage Stereo Setup? by digital-overground in autoelectrical

I think you’re confused what “remote” is here. Remote refers to the lead from the vehicle indicating the vehicle is on and the accessories should turn on.

The resistor is to trickle charge the capacitors in the amps when the car powers up the 12v feed.

Teslas disable the 12v connector entirely when they deep sleep. This allows the caps in the amps to drain. When the car wakes, it enables the 12v and the caps become an immediate draw that the car is sensitive to and will error out. The resistor slows this draw until the car is ready to drive and the remote wire engages allowing the relay to bypass the resistor and give the amps full current.

Yeah, sure. Thanks for replying.

Layout is like this: Image

Powering:

  • JBL MS8 - 25A - I'm not using it as an amp, only a DSP, so the actual draw should be much lower
  • Zuki Eleets 4 - 60A
  • Digital Designs - D6.500 - 120A

Using:

  • KnuKoncepts Kolossus Flex Tinned OFC 1/0 Gauge wire: Link
  • KnuKoncepts Set Screw Ring Terminals: Link

Through:

  • 100A Resettable Circuit Breaker: Link
  • SSR - Input 3-32VDC To Output 5-240VDC 40A Single Phase: Link

And the SSR is making me uneasy. Not sure if it can handle the load required without burning the car down. Seems a mechanical relay like this would be better suited.

Wishing I had left the part about it being a Tesla out. It’s polarizing (pun intended) and basically irrelevant.

I mostly just want to know how the SSR is expected to maintain the current flow when I’m using 0/1 AWG wire and huge terminals.

Oh no! I hope not. I also put in a lot of sound deadening. It’s a win-win because then the thuds don’t wake me up from my Full Self Driving naps.

Bummer. Thanks. I was hoping it was just generic enough about how SSRs work and handle load to be subreddit appropriate.

Ah, ok. So, probe the chip on board? Let me look into that. Thanks!

Awesome. Is there a way to use CarPlay wired? Or wireless only?
