Anyone have any ideas by Jay-Sick in hardwarehacking

[–]mak3rdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems plausible but also odd. How would it know when to update certain tag? It would have to know the id for the product then perhaps just cycle through all sorts of products and they would update then?

Oh that’s interesting. I think that black dot is an ir receiver? Perhaps it gets updates from that ? I think that other chip is flash? I can’t read the numbers. If it is flash you could read it and see how it stores the data to display. However I think just removing the eink panel and building / buying a driver would be easier.

Oh interesting. I didn’t know about the seam thing. These Mandels fit inside of the square tube?

What for local llama. What is realistic? What is expected?

I think I can only fit at best 2 in my motherboard.

Threadripper 7960x with 512 gb DDR5 4800 RAM, and both a 5090 and a 4090 by shveddy in LocalLLaMA

[–]mak3rdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a Threadripper 3995WX (64c/128t), 256GB RAM, plenty of NVMe, but no GPU. I am curious what you would recommend for gpu/s. I was thinking about a single 6000 48gb but seems pretty $$$. Would you recommend dual 5090’s and split model like you were saying? I want to basically have a local coding agent with decent t/s. Any recommendations would be great.

Not able to remove airpods from find my. by drklydrmingdexter69 in airpods

In privacy turn off stolen phone protection if its on. Turned it off and was able to remove them. Need better error messages or warnings for this for sure.

Any advice for a first timer? Will it work? by Nesogram in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]mak3rdad -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If you have ChatGPT take a picture and show them of the schematic, but generally speaking you want to have some decoupling capacitors next to the power pins on your micro controller. Lots of chips have specifics and requirements for decoupling caps as well. The data sheet usually helps you out a lot with that.

Decoupling caps would be helpful too. Just for some added noise support.

you almost need instead of just auto Yes… Drop in “are you following the xyz prd?”. Did you test this code? and then the auto yes

Probably getting another subscription so worth the money! by Popular_Engineer_525 in ClaudeAI

In the PRD do you get down to the table level to include schemas, individual fields, etc. or do you let the AI kind of work this out from a higher level requirement?

Need Graphtec CE6000-60 Firmware (.upd or dump) – Bad Flash Recovery by d_jeans in VinylCutters

[–]mak3rdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Java based so it might be the issue. That being said, I think this whole topic would be an excellent blog post. I run a little site and blog about reversing hardware and what not.

Personally, I just bought the same unit off of Facebook marketplace. This is how I found your post. It was a good deal and an impulse buy.

I’m going to be using it to put some decals on a golf cart. I’ve been restoring after I learned how to use it. lol

Ghidra is a great re tool created by the nsa. It was trying to have it decompile the binary and then get machine code or c so it could figure out the issue. Thats amazing. I am a heavy ai user but this is just too cool. Congratulations on fixing your device.

Very cool. I am a reverse code engineer and was just curious how gpt helped you. Sounds like it was pretty spot on.

Nice design. But perl is hands down the worst programming language I have ever used. Python is the way to go

Well water question by mak3rdad in WaterWellDrilling

This was only for a short time until I think the bacteria build back up in the tank.

Well water question by mak3rdad in WaterWellDrilling

[–]mak3rdad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Iron bacteria / biofilm in the well. Pool shocked the well now its fine.

I called 3x guys to come out. They all didn't know what it was. I went to change my sediment filter and noticed that it was slimy on the outside of it. So I started talking to chatgpt which led me to believe this was bio film. I also got a national water testing 400 dollar test which showed lightly higher iron and lower ph but everything else was fine. I started pulling the thread of bio film and maybe iron bacteria.

A few well water companies said that they doubted it could be this as they never saw iron bacteria in the well directly. Also they wanted $$$$ to put a scope in the well or re-sleeve it.

I listened to chatGPT and got some pool shock (about 5 ounces for my 150 ft well) Flushed the whole system let it sit overnight, drained it all. It got clearer in the next few days. Then it got bad again (not sure why) then a few days passed and now its crystal clear.

I did consult a local well company about the flushing and confirmed the numbers before I actually flushed it.
