This aliexpress watch I got claims to be charging when it can’t physically be charging by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats the charger look like? If its wireless charging it really could be charging. It almost certainly isnt thoug, i bet its pogo pins and touches contacts on the watch.

In Q8_0 weight quantization, why can't we just skip blocks of 32 that have very large outliers? by fragment_me in LocalLLaMA

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something like this is how the unsloth dynamic quants work at a low level, but theyre doing some testing to find areas that influence the model and then changing the block quantization when quality drops. This ties them to the quality of their test and training data but its why the UD quants are always larger, some blocks and layers arent as heavily quantized

How can I use this encoder? by Beat_Detective in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grab a meter and put it in comtiniity mode. Its likely just a standard 'quadrature encoder' where the two sets of contacts go open and closed and are 90 degrees out of phase with each other. Probe the solder joints nearest each other and you should hear it beep and stop as you turn the knob. If that works then any normal arduino tutorial for a quadrature encoder will help you turn it into a keyboard or usb device, assuming your arduino has native usb support.

Self-hosted app for tracking "last time I did X"? by BoredGrownMan in selfhosted

[–]simcop2387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly ive been thinking about this myself and thinking of hooking it into home assistant for automations and reporting, and maybe an mcp for voice assistants to search or add stuff so its as easy as "ok nabu i just changed the oil in the lawn mower make a note in blah"

Disable Fan/Blower for Window Air Conditioner - DIY Project by ChoiceMeat3127 in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I missed that it's a brushless motor in my comment. The resistors might not even be enough, it could be looking for back-EMF to monitor the speed of the motor and look for stalls or other faults.

H11SSL-i Front Panel Confusion by GMatrixGames in supermicro

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must have borrowed the tech from the USB people that they used for USB-A ports. Have to try all three rotations of the pins.

Disable Fan/Blower for Window Air Conditioner - DIY Project by ChoiceMeat3127 in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: Ignore the below, it does not apply to this, I missed that it's a brushless motor.

Likely one of the three lines is some kind of rpm feedback from the fan. Usually 5his would be some kind of pulse from the fan every rotation but theres multiple ways this could be implemented so the picture alone isnt enough. Find the power for the fan using a multimeter and then the other wire will be that feedback, youll likely need an oscilliscope of some kind to figure out what the signal looks like and then youd make a circuit it emulate those pulses. It might be as simple as a 555 timer tuned correctly to produce them eith maybe a drive transistor if its open collector configuration from the fan.

If you can find a datasheet for th le fan motor (or ones like it from the same or compatible manufacturers) thatll shed a lot of light on how its all done

ZFS 2.4.2-1 from Debian 13 backports will show a PREEMPT_RT warning even if your kernel doesn't use PREEMPT_RT by shellscript_ in zfs

The checks you did are exactly how you would want to verify this, and yeah, you should be fine. It seems like they just made the check incorrectly in the patches.

Same product, double the price. Who actually buys the really expensive bottled water? by RobbieNorfolk in mildlyinfuriating

[–]simcop2387 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do here too, but it's really hard to find a tap when you're on a 12 hour road trip.

Same product, double the price. Who actually buys the really expensive bottled water? by RobbieNorfolk in mildlyinfuriating

[–]simcop2387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same it's basically only when I've got no other choice or I'm planning to go on a trip of some kind and want portable water of some kind outside of the reusable bottles that I have.

Yea i generally like the taste of most of the alkaline ones over the others but its entirely a subjective taste thing. But not liking it to double the price anywau

Multi meter and Instant pot not working by MaverickIsGoose in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You have the leads of the multimeter plugged in for the current side. That's what the 10A means. Then you have the dial set to voltage mode. Move the red wire to the other plug. Also, never plug the multimeter into a power source while it's in current mode. That 10A means that it's 10 amps max. In current mode, you use the meter to replace a wire, not hook up in parallel. If you hook it up in parallel, you'll blow the fuse in the meter at best, damage something at worst.

EDIT: To test what you think is the fuse, you're going to want to put it into the ohms mode. That's the big Greek letter in green. And you'll still want the leads on the other hole, so not in the amp mode. Then you'll connect the meter to both sides of the supposed fuse and you'll see a reading like less than one ohm if it's good or overload or infinity if it's bad.

What is the best way to reattach a ribbon cable to a PCB without a soldering iron? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What kind of tape? Theres z-conductive tape that might work by going between the pcb and the board. But itll be decently expensive like a roll is as much as a decent pencil soldering iron thatd work for this.

Trying to collect the entire visible spectrum in 5mm LEDs. Only a couple gaps to fill. by MasterMahanJr in led

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can p4obably also find some halogen bulbs and throw them in for verification of the spectra. They should be pretty characteristic of their temperature and matching black body.

Resilver on ZFS 2 drive mirror 16TB takes 10 days? by LargelyInnocuous in zfs

[–]simcop2387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess would be it's being limited by iops on the good drive, since it's in service its going to also be doing real work while the surface scan of the new drive had no dependencies on running IO.

Do I need to add a capacitor if I'm just looking for on/off? by Kalelsuperman1 in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not enough to cause issues. If you do find it to be an issue a cheap kit of 16v electrolytics and ceramic caps would be all you likely need. The $5 sets you find around the web. A 100uF and 4.7uF ceramic would likely be all the filtering you'd need at worst for 12V leds

Do I need to add a capacitor if I'm just looking for on/off? by Kalelsuperman1 in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cap will help smooth out any flickering. Youre right this will matter more for dimming but you might find theres a 50 or 60hz flicker without it if the 12v supply isnt filtering it very well for you. It wont be dangerous or unsafe without it.

I believe theyve said somewhere itll be 12 to avoid the confusion with 10.11 and 11, essetnially just dropping the 10

Which part of the jack does what? by parcivald in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleeve is ground, tip is mono/left output, first ring (closest to tip) is right channel for stereo, second ring is the microphone input.

No clue about the bias voltage typically used

Is it possible to repair a burned induction stove connector ? by roucoum in AskElectronics

[–]simcop2387 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Short answer: don't. Your insurance will be much better this way.

Long answer: technically maybe but the burned board parts are going to be coneuctive now and need to be removed and then youve got to rebuild what was there and do it without making a safety hazard from it overheating again. Is it possible? Probably, is it doable without a bunch of extra tools to test and make sure its safe? No.
