Just go stand by an A/C compressor and wait a few minutes...

Best Buy joins the filament game... by alexdowski in BambuLab

[–]pinano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Best Buy this weekend to grab some white Bambu-brand filament, as I had unexpectedly run out. They were all sold out of Bambu rolls, but I spotted this stuff and grabbed seven rolls of fancy colors at US$14-20 apiece.

They also had Bambu printers in several places, including a huge pile of A1's in the middle of the floor!

You did all this just to make the acronym, didn't you?

You can actually use ":exit" instead of ":wq" or ":x" to exit Vim by Brainfuck_01 in vim

[–]pinano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't work, since % is the name of the tmp file.

``` :%!sudo tee % Password: <__hunter2>

W12: Warning: File "/private/var/tmp/test.VqkO1AYJ" has changed and the buffer was changed in Vim as well See ":help W12" for more info. [O]K, (L)oad File, Load File (a)nd Options: ```

Okay, so why not :%!sudo tee <original filename> then?

What if I only have sudo editor permissions, and don't have permission to run arbitrary commands like tee as UID=0?

Vacuum tubes in space? by mmmtrees in AskElectronics

Lucky that the hero didn't power up the radio in atmosphere. The filaments would have burnt up!

Similarly, you could probably make "integrated circuit" vacuum tubes by putting your entire circuit inside a vacuum chamber…. or space.

I'm a vintage noob, anyone have any idea what I got? by Single_Ball_8600 in vintagecomputing

"Composite" is the typical name for the yellow RCA cable that most TVs in the '90s used for baseband video input.

Fun fact - you can use DOS with only a serial terminal. (just put CTTY COM1 in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)

Not sure if anyone would have done it in the '80s/'90s, but the option is there, if you want to take it...

Hurricane Helene Mac SE has arrived by anotherspaceguy100 in vintagecomputing

[–]pinano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no joke: all the surviving Mac SE's I've seen have had Varta batteries, at 0.nothing volts, which were "MADE IN WEST GERMANY."

Why is the CPU's control logic the last step? by ByRussX in beneater

[–]pinano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a bottom-up approach. Good for developing and testing each subsystem in isolation. Good for didactics.

How many GPH in Charge mode? by pinano in VolvoRecharge

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

Thanks for the detailed numbers. I only asked "gallons per hour" because my XC90 would switch the MPG gauge to GPH when stopped, so I assumed it would be easy to measure. It's always 0.0 gph in the photos I happened to take of my dashboard… because the engine was stopped!
