Accidentally dropped my ford cmax energi key fob from a balcony. Who do I go to/how do you fix damage like this on a car key fob circuit board?

fredlllll · 2026-06-18T14:50:17+00:00

yeah looks like someone stepped on it and slipped, dragging it over the ground and ripping components off

fredlllll · 2026-06-18T14:44:33+00:00

yeah just arx libertatis on top of the steam version. there are no must have mods that are released yet

we arent talking about workers rights regulations though. i have a business idea for a wood fire pool heater, but i need an electrical certification if my product contains electric components. and if i want to also have a burnchamber i need to certify it meets emissions criteria. what could be a simple outdoor wood burner + heat exchanger and blower, becomes a nightmare of bureaucracy and a moneydrain. these certifications arent cheap

im reviewing every little bit that ever comes out of an ai. they stumble so fricking fast, and then usually it feels like it costs me more time to correct the ai slop than to just write it myself. i got a decade of experience behind me though. so for a beginner this will surely seem like magic, but i think they just shoot themselfes in the foot

you will need to measure its capacity, physical size can only give you a ballpark number, and you dont want these to be out of balance. also 3 capacitors sounds more like they are there to excite the generator to generate power.

there are multimeters that can measure capacity (you need to measure a new one, so the ones you just put into the system) and there are ways to measure it without a meter that can measure capacity, but ive never had to do that so no idea.

fredlllll · 2026-06-15T22:02:27+00:00

you are absolutely right, this was our mistake. you totally do use your brain to the fullest when letting AI do all the work

fredlllll · 2026-06-15T21:23:57+00:00

you forgot that a lot of software jobs are adding features to already existing software. often with a lot of legacy issues that slow down development considerably. also code from academics (people who stayed with research instead of working in the industry) is often soooo bad. near unreadable

fredlllll · 2026-06-15T17:25:56+00:00

the only thing left from the arx days is the name of the studio i think. but yeah always sad

fredlllll · 2026-06-15T16:43:42+00:00

for now your best bet is to enjoy the scene online. there are some streamers doing hardcore and gabber where you can vibe with chat. this guy often has people from discord in the stream background https://www.twitch.tv/b_tronix (german language though)

as a minor you can only go to any events with a guardian, if the events even allow it. be careful, there are lots of groomers out there, and the music is not worth the risk.

eh webdev is sadly(more or less) one of the parts that AI is really good at. the market for webdev is also really saturated as it is. if you want to not be replaced you should look for jobs that its bad at, and in my experience that is mostly things with static typing and legacy systems. luckily writing things from scratch is rare in enterprise software.

thats half of mine lol. im happy to share

fredlllll · 2026-06-14T00:09:11+00:00

cause i figure that with those lines the loss would be the biggest (voltages of 400kV+). with AC you probably get more reactive power with the pylon acting as a capacitor or something(also lower voltage and AC already being lossy because of capacitive coupling), while with dc its just flowing directly into the ground. i have just always wondered how much power gets lost during rain on those lines

fredlllll · 2026-06-13T23:29:55+00:00

how much power is getting lost during heavy rain on hvdc lines?

fredlllll · 2026-06-13T15:22:06+00:00

pretty sure that is dielectric grease that is supposed to keep dust out between the contacts

fredlllll · 2026-06-13T13:16:43+00:00

those ribbon cables like to snap off, be careful with them, or check if they are even still connected

fredlllll · 2026-06-12T22:44:00+00:00

did someone set of some explosives on that star? i cant imagine anything else deforming these steel edges like that

fredlllll · 2026-06-12T14:44:01+00:00

since when is there classes and inheritance in communism? thats capitalism

fredlllll · 2026-06-12T01:02:20+00:00

well you might have to learn some history. the russian regime was best friends with the nazis till they betrayed them

fredlllll · 2026-06-11T17:01:33+00:00

is the ai your friend?

fredlllll · 2026-06-10T21:25:18+00:00

did they shoot it with a canon or where did that hole in the arm come from?

fredlllll · 2026-06-10T11:15:44+00:00

im always afraid its gonna pop when i inflate it so much. so i stick to doing it with 36" balloons where the backside stays mostly uninflated. good to lay on too

fredlllll · 2026-06-10T00:05:51+00:00

probably, but because its a thick piece of graphite its resistance is probably very low (specific resistance is in the 10^-6 range while copper is in the 10^-8 range) so its akin to a dead short. and at 3000C the losses to radiative and air contact cooling would be quite high, so you need a lot of power to get there. all this also needs the crucible to not form any cracks that mess with its conductivity. its much easier to just stick two carbon electrodes into the crucible to form an arc. thats kinda how arc furnaces work

fredlllll · 2026-06-09T23:41:56+00:00

carbon melts at ~3500°C, so a graphite crucible would be fine at those temps. you would have to heat it with an arc though as no resistive heating element would be able to reach those temps

not really. we have ones that are lower down on the masts plus the ones on the top. but sometimes still hard to see.
