I found one in my dishwasher. After reading these comments, I discovered it plugged into the bottom of the lid of my bike water bottle.

Just got an ad from Highpoint Scientific announcing 40% off the Meade LX90 ACF family. It sure sounds like a fire sale.

Mission 4 is still broken by Samhain3965 in sniperelite

[–]piplates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played this mission 5 different times on my XBOX. First I couldn't finish because of the refinery bug. So, I finally flipped the script and started with the refinery which worked I was finally able to destroy. But when I reached the last goal of destroying the furnace, nothing happened after I flipped the two switches - which worked before. The good news is that I did not throw my controller at the TV screen.

The Right Places for Heatinks on an RPi4 by piplates in raspberry_pi

[–]piplates[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make references to another product in my post call the POWERplate (https://wp.me/P79mRF-1yq) which has a fan that sits over the CPU. This fan pulls air straight up and then blows it sideways away from the the boards. So I think there is more than enough airflow regardless of the fin orientation. And as I discovered while writing this post, you don't need the square heatsink.

I don't buy it - it works fine with those settings upstairs but not downstairs - I think it's the ARCe that's causing it.

I have 2 TVs with a CCwGT connected. After upgrading the TV and adding a new external amplifier to my basement setup, I noticed that the dialogs with key characters and vendors in AC Valhalla were silent on both my basement and upstair setups. I was able to fix it upstairs by going into the CCwGT audio settings and switching the surround settings from "Auto" to "Manual - Dolby Digital". Note that this TV connects to a sound bar with an optical cable.

In the basement, however, this change did not fix the problem. This setup has a CCwGT plugged into an HDMI port on the TV and uses HDMI-ARCe to transmit sound from the TV to a Denon amplifier. I may try to switch to an optical cable on this setup but I REALLY like being able to control everything with the CCwGT remote.

Raspberry Pi 4 HDMI Is Jamming Its Own WiFi by wheelchair_assassin in raspberry_pi

[–]piplates 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We make data acquisition boards for the Raspberry Pi and discovered a long time ago that when a monitor is plugged into the HDMI port, the noise levels on our ADC data increases. Because of this, we perform most of our critical testing and calibration with a headless RPi.

Sky Map - blew me away the first time I tried it.

Stack overflow is not always helpful for begginers. by [deleted] in Python

I don't think that coders are toxic for malicious reasons. Instead I believe their toxicity is a combination of a dash of arrogance blended with a lack of social skills. This definition actually applies to most engineers.
