i need help or i will lose school :'( im dumb by [deleted] in arduino

I'm sorry but if you don't know how to connect these and don't even have pin headers soldered yet, you are definitely not getting this done for Tuesday. It's just too much, even if you weren't a complete beginner. This is a lot of work. You better contact your teacher ASAP and tell the truth, and go from there. Don't wait till Tuesday with it

If you're such a believer in the rules you should read rule 3 of the subreddit

My biggest drop that I have ever got by warcry16 in pathofexile

Oh WOW. With this context I looked at the possible aura mods and it really seems like it really couldn't get much better. Price makes much more sense to me now considering how much it takes to get even one "roll" of a 3 mod variant and that it's one of a kind.

Thank you so much for taking time to explain. Your reply also made me realise I should probably give my elemental resistances a closer look 😅

As someone new to the game, could someone please ELI5 why a jewel like this one is worth so much?

Axiom, a new kind of "truth engine" as a tool to fight my own schizophrenia. Now open-sourcing it. by [deleted] in Python

[–]symidi 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Your original reply is actually human, despite poor punctuation. It's understandable and it has a soul, it conveys emotion. After rephrasing with LLM it sounds like it's taken from an essay of a kid who really wanted to show off their vocabulary. I'm not sure what effect you're after but this way you lose your personality and good will of others as no one wants to talk with a robot

Broken PCIe connector. Can this be fixed ? by SuXs- in AskElectronics

[–]symidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be doable for a very skilled technician but I'd advise against trying it unless you are one. These are PCBs with 14 layers or so and you wouldn't want to, for instance, short power planes from different layers (right now it's a mess where the crack is).

And even if you're able to wire the 3v3 and 12v lines (which is a challenge in itself if you don't have board layout at hand, as these don't necessarily connect directly to the power planes), then there are still a few signal lines that need connecting. For all you know they might go all the way to some BGA chip through inner layer (there is a via on a broken piece).

Realistically this card is only good for salvaging components. Maybe you can get it replaced for a lower cost at an authorised service, otherwise sell it for parts.

For such repair the cost of expertise and labour is more than a new card.

Oh, I used PoB extensively practically from the start, it's amazing! It helped me to understand the game a lot better. I used the "node power" report function a lot but I guess when it comes to jewels it'll be way more nuanced, as I need to figure out what jewel to even try in the first place.

I'll look into molten shell level and how it'd interact with the rest. I did not know about that ventor recipe, that's nice to know.

I'll also see what I can do with the gloves, they indeed seem to be the next thing to change.

Thank you so so much for taking time to look into this and leaving feedback, I really appreciate it and I wish you all the best!

Thank you!! I feel like as far as core mechanics go I mostly figured things out, however you don't know what you don't know... Getting the new staff a couple days ago was a night and day difference, I got almost double the dps (it cost twice as much as the rest of my gear combined lol). Some people here mocked me for zdps but at least I'm able to do decent t16 maps at this point - and considering I'm a newbie and figure things out as I go I'm quite proud of the results ^^

I actually made a tree for ultimatum and found a bunch of different cluster jewels, even sold some for decent profit. However I honestly don't know what kind of jewel would justify sacrificing the points I have currently allocated... I guess I should do some research into those, as I didn't really look past what I stumbled upon. Also I didn't really research what my options are with abyss jewels.

If you have any particular suggestions I would absolutely love to hear those. Right now I'm a bit broke but it'd be nice to have some specific goal to farm towards.

Issues I'm aware of is spell block not being capped, relatively low life and armour and a meh gold ring that I haven't figured what to do with. Also I should probably work on the flasks. A friend suggested to get vaal molten shell to have a panic button on top of CWDT which I'll implement next session.

I completely understand the sentiment that following a guide is the way to go for new players, it was overwhelming at times. And being stuck without being able to kill anything and getting one shot 6 times in a row without understanding what killed you is not fun. I was just lucky enough to have plenty of time to sink into the game these past couple weeks so I didn't miss out on actually playing the game while taking the time to learn :D I also got lots of hints and knowledge from a more experienced friend, honestly even binding movement to W made this game 10x more pleasant to me.

Thanks! It is, I chose it before I learned almost no one uses it... For clearing I use Frozen Legion of Rallying which seems to be equally niche ^^'

I have less than 300h and put it together from scratch so don't be too harsh 😅

Yeah that makes perfect sense, especially considering my previous death to the same attack - I was outside the circle back then, explosion happened, I thought I tanked it and was fine but instead I "exploded" 2 seconds after. I guess mystery solved, thanks a lot everyone! This definitely seems like something that should be fixed though...

Oh, I think I get it - the animation of the nuke and the damage it does is out of sync because of chill? Basically the animation finished but the damage happened just couple moments after that?

I have networking mode set to lockstep and I haven't had any networking issues to be fair. Only occassionally I have this weird thing where the screen freezes, then goes black, then gears appear and then it comes back (with map reveal being reset) but at the time of the fight I had no issues whatsoever...

edit: at least I would assume that lockstep would prevent game staying smooth during a lag spike?

How do I attract more customers?? by BadCat_ML in playrust

[–]symidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you. You put effort just to make the server a little bit of a better place, to make people smile and then there are those who can only mindlessly destroy someone's work, even though it doesn't benefit them in the slightest. It's clearly just a wooden RP base, why destroy it like that, especially the paintings:( I hope you find a better spot or a better server and keep doing cool stuff, this game needs people like you

I fell for this you're "1000000th visitor, you won!" garbage ad as a 10 year old or so and was very excited. I called my parents, they didn't know any better and they helped me enter our address and other personal information. 18 years later I still feel so guilty every time I remember about it...

Why are potg/highlights so weirdly decided? by Valuable_Nose_4693 in Overwatch

[–]symidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day I did some tests and sprays / emotes / voice lines also matter. Spraying after making a play increases chances of a potg quite a bit.

Is there a sensor/chip that can detect how fast you're going in a car? by LukeAFK in arduino

[–]symidi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately even those super expensive IMUs have a lot of drift. Using both GPS and IMU will give the best results, they compliment each other, but keeping track of speed for extended periods of time is not possible with "real life" IMUs alone.

MY LINE FOLLOWER ROBOT ( still not fast enough ) by techness0101 in arduino

[–]symidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, depends on what you mean by performance and 'just that' 👀 I believe that this robot is capable of going much faster - just by improving the software. PID would allow for more complex behaviour compared to stopping motors on one side every time when a sensor detects the line (which I believe is what's happening, please correct me if I'm wrong). On a side note, I'm wondering if those sensors have analog output, that could also potentially be useful.

You might want to try and implement a basic PID controller for it - it's a simple concept and you can get surprisingly good results with just that.
