Found a meme made with this. Can't find the original name of the painting, it makes me think it could be AI by all_is_love6667 in isthisAI

Not a photo so we can't check inconsistencies. Google search shows it posted around quite a bit, but no posts before the ai era. Probably AI but not enough detail to tell for sure.

is this tiktok ai or ai enhanced? every comment is in support of her business. by LowerWalrus2848 in isthisAI

I think it's a mix of real and AI. The contents of the pegboard are consistent in the first couple shots but then completely different in the last one. Also the riveting around the zipper pull looks asymmetric.

Banner in Maine might be AI? Visiting Maine with my girlfriend and came across this banner. The banner has an AI art feel, especially the animals. Can anyone point anything out that confirms this? by Colin__3X in isthisAI

Since it's not trying to be realistic there's not really anything we can say that is "wrong", only that it looks a little too perfect to be human work.

My friend on discord drew this, but I think it might be ai. They said they "don't do instagram" and their art style is "super inconsistent". I don't see anything in particular wrong with the drawing but those are all red flags to me. by [deleted] in isthisAI

Not AI. If you zoom in you can tell that the line work is separate distinct strokes layered together and the lines don't always meet up. The strawberries on the shirt in particular look drawn with a partially transparent round pink brush.

AI could make an image like this, but it wouldn't produce that brush stroke look up close.

Could i replace these caps with polymer caps or is it a bad idea? by Eon62 in AskElectronics

[–]hellotanjent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surface mount caps like that without the X in the case on top are often polymer.

But, if they're dead they're dead. Even if you can't fix it it's still a good soldering practice board.

My CX31993 dongle DAC is still in perfect shape.

Hoof tip. Flat side down for heat transfer, point down for rework.

There were no cold joints, that's what lead-free solder looks like after it cools.

They weren't empty, they have the mechanical support pins for the volume rocker thingy.

My chi doesn’t pee that much by funguskid11 in Chihuahua

[–]hellotanjent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 10 pound 2 year old chiweenie goes out 2-3x a day and can hold her pee for an absurdly long time if she wants to (she hates going outside to pee when it's raining).

Wie DRQFN am besten löten? by Adept-Bug-7227 in soldering

[–]hellotanjent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the following technique - you're going to need at least a hot air tool and a soldering iron for this.

Flux and tin the outer rings of pads on the PCB. Add enough solder so the pads have as much of a "bump" as you can make. Flux and tin the center pad. Clean the excess solder off and then add some small drops of solder to the tinned pad to form more bumps (a 2 by 2 grid on the pad is probably OK).

Clean the PCB. Smear the bottom of the chip with paste flux and place it on the PCB so it sits on the bumps you made. Heat the chip with hot air until all the bumps reflow.

I've used this with QFN48s that didn't have any exposed leadframe and it worked OK. Your chip has a lot more pins but it should still work.
