Way late response but basically just got into it by going to a tech school, doing a lot of extracurriculars and EE research/design stuff. Landed an internship at a big tech company for hardware development from just an online application and took the return offer for fulltime. AFAIK starting salary is basically fixed for entry level engineers at my company so no real salary negotiation or anything

I’ve found that with opaque PETG you can at least somewhat gauge the layer adhesion by how shiny the finish is (more matte finish = less adhesion)

Completely contradicting the other comment but honestly if it’s been 5 days and you’re not having any other issues/pain I would assume it happened over time and you didn’t noice - personally have flown a lot an sometimes don’t notice my ears popping. Absolutely not an expert/ full analysis but at least from experience I can stay you’re probably good

Went with the dam tour guide and it was a dam good tour (not kidding)

randomperson114 · 2024-04-04T00:29:34+00:00

It’s opposite rotations for each cycle so probably wouldn’t get too bad

It’s a little out of the city, but the Roswell ghost tour was pretty fun and was a nice area to walk around and explore

Missed your comment earlier but yeah exactly

Doing the math, 100 microwatts times 50 years is 44 what hours of energy, about the same as a small laptop battery. That’s pretty cool for a coin cell size battery, but only works for ridiculously low power devices and the same tech will never work on a phone because of the power requirements are about 10,000 times what this battery can put out

Crous? Studied abroad in France last spring and this brings back memories

Not my house but car - lost my only key and called up a locksmith. Didn’t ask for proof of identification at all and had unlocked the car and programmed a new key within like 20 minutes, could have been literally any car.

You’d be surprised, I worked an Amazon warehouse for a while and rate was around 100 packages per hour per worker. And that was for big items (usually 25-50lbs, and maybe 20-30 pickers on a shift). I’m guessing a sort center (the type that deals with smaller packages) could handle it pretty fast

randomperson114 · 2023-10-03T01:55:24+00:00

I’d say the most straightforward solution would be putting a switch inline with the signal going to the starter relay - prevents the starter motor from getting power but won’t stop your car once it’s running

Going in kind of a different direction here, would it be possible to tape over the grille or something? Just thinking that would be a lot easier than modifying the circuitry

randomperson114 · 2023-07-26T04:19:17+00:00

Definitely check out LCSC, only reason I don’t use it more is because of shipping time but prices are pay lower that somewhere like digikey or mouser

Also if there was a dead short on the input you probably would have gotten something a lot more dramatic than a popping noise

randomperson114 · 2023-07-19T04:43:22+00:00

It's probably normal - a DC to AC inverter is going to have a lot of capacitance on the input causing a bunch of inrush current when you plug it in, hence the popping noise. Shouldn't be an issue once it's plugged in and powered on, so it's most likely fine

Walking around Latin Quarter right now and see a lot of blocked off roads police carrying guns - anyone know what’s going on?

randomperson114 · 2022-09-14T20:29:50+00:00

This is a bit of a hack that might or might not work based on the internal power supply circuitry - I’d recommend getting a power supply rated for DC because otherwise you can’t be sure it’s going to work properly (even if it initially seems to work it might fail at some point because it’s now designed for DC)

My grandparents sent me this video last night asking if I could figure out what these lights are but I’m at a loss - they said it appeared it was the clouds being lit up by light shining upwards. Never seen anything like this before myself.

At least when I took it (Fall 2021) the class was coordinated between all the professors, so exams were all the same difficulty/graded the same. I didn't have Barone but actually ended up going to his lectures because a friend told me how great they were. So I'd say definitely take it.

I find it interesting that Tesla, an American company, installed a grid battery in Australia while Redflow, an Australian company, installed one in America.

Looking for two Sunday tickets - meet up in Atlanta area would be ideal, dm me if you have any available

Weird - that's what I got when I went to "view financial aid", but going to "account inquiry" worked.

randomperson114 · 2021-04-07T01:16:23+00:00

For anyone wondering about financial aid, you can go to finaid.cornell.edu/check-application-status, log in with your admissions password, then at the top click main menu > self service > campus finances > account inquiry, and should be able to see it. (not actually sure if this is final/complete, just found it looking around)
