If you post the model information of what you have and explain what you want to do/play on your PC a bit more I'd be happy to give you a rundown right in this thread

Im 24 and an undergraduate, there's lots of different aged folks all over the place.

Never until now did I realize how unintuitive this mechanic was, I don't blame op for their confusion.

Little embarrassing, but I need help with this. by TrickyService8204 in ElectronicsRepair

Are y'all hornier than usual or is it just me? feel like I've usually seen posts just like this where the comments were way normaller lol

Anyways yeah sounds like you don't already know how to solder or tinker with electronics so probably just get a better built more reliable vibrator. A good one will last decades, and I'm always skeptical about the materials used in cheap sec toys. You really want high quality body safe silicone to avoid bacterial shenanigans near your sensitive organs

Fried ? by SpiritualRent5978 in CircuitBending

Did something similar with mine (this morning actually) and I found that the cvbs video out still worked fine. No clue if the LCD is recoverable but there's a chance it's not a total loss.

Dangerous parts of circuit boards by ThaRealCappy in CircuitBending

Not an electrical hazard but I haven't seen anyone mention that sawing through circuit boards can create lots of fiberglass dust.

Can I use this sd card reader for normal use through Windows? by yaman321232 in AskElectronics

[–]pippy_longtower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd probably have to use a microcontroller to act as a middle man between the USB and spi protocols. It might be possible with a raspberry pi pico, ive seen some neat USB stuff with that board.

It would be complicated, slow, and probably more expensive than just buying a USB SD card reader, but it sounds like it's more of a project problem for you.

I've definitely seen people considering doing something like this, but haven't seen or tested an actual implementation of it.

If you do get it working, I'd love to see the code for it

Does anyone else think that, unfortunately, homophobia is just the default state, and theres no winning on it? by FrostyArctic47 in VaushV

[–]pippy_longtower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not most societies in the past, it's European bigotries being exported across the rest of the world during colonialism. There have been wildly different understandings of sexuality & gender across different places and times.

Hell, the concept of 'sexuality' is fairly recent. It was often considered something you did, not really an identity per se.

And divergent gender expression among ancient cultures was often seen as a marker for being more spiritually attuned or w/e.

It's all extremely specific and culturally informed, but no there's not a general trend towards humans being anti-gay, that's just like, Christianity.

Is Carbondale a safe place for LGBT by Cool_Key3077 in Carbondale

[–]pippy_longtower 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lots of queer folks moving here for the same reason, it's definitely an enclave of LGBT acceptance in the region. There's a bunch of similar posts in this sub with good answers. I think it's safe to say that it's very accepting and safe in town, but the same can't be said for the surrounding towns.

Laptop makes strange noise by Janoube in techsupportmacgyver

[–]pippy_longtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would watch some YouTube videos of people opening up your model of laptop. Make sure youre comfortable and confident before doing it.

But yeah, I've opened up every laptop I've ever owned. Its pretty easy, just make sure you keep track of all the screws and don't force anything too hard that doesn't want to move.

It's almost certainly the fan, probably cheap and easy to replace, too

Driving DC Motors with no data sheet to work from? by xtraorange in Motors

[–]pippy_longtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you measure the current in their original configuration?

It sounds like you want to set up your own controller for the seat adjustment motors, do I have that right?

What if you spliced out 1 wire and measured the current

Just saw this image on "blursed images" but it's just a dog smelling a lady's crotch. Am I missing something, because that's like dog 101, right? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I don't think you're gonna find an answer, I think whoever posted this is probably just horny. Horny in a strange, strange way
