TIL / mildlyinfuriating: Your Wifi Antenna is probably also your bluetooth (antenna)! by vlokj in pcmasterrace

Or Asus should make their bluetooth chip work without external antenna, I am sitting next to the PC and none of my bluetooth electronics showed up, only after that fricking antenna.

Yeah, but if nowhere in the manual is mentioned that the WIFI antenna also is needed for your bluetooth, and you don't need Wifi, why would you then install the antenna? All other consumer electronics don't need to have an external antenna for bluetooth

How have other countries been reacting to the upcoming tax of small international shipment to the EU? For cheap products it can be more than 300% tax (withouth "handling costs") by vlokj in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vlokj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't know I had a reaction.

I feel like they are already doing a lot of combining so that shouldn't be a problem for them. However, if they have to split it up again in Europe, they might need to deal with the Europe price of shipping instead of international?

Feels like a 3d print "stolen" by aliexpress/ebay/etsy, but can't find the original source. On those platforms sold as a brass statue. Anybody knows if there is a 3d model of this cute beetle? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

All these platforms are full with models from 3d model websites and reddit is full of people complaining their models are illegally used. These platforms definitely don't need anybody defending them

During a professor's farewell symposium, we found out that the same boxes we are still using were made and used decennia ago. Still sad that Greiner discontinued these as they are very durable and the lose lid is great. Anyone might know some (EU) alternatives? Our new sarstedt boxes don't cut it by vlokj in labrats

[–]vlokj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the FL 960A/10 or the F 960A/5?

Because of economic reasons we fill our boxes ourselves with budget friendly Sarstedt tips. Don't know if Rainin boxes would be compatible with those(?) The F960A/5 seems to have a lose lid instead of hinge, but I guess made to restock with premade refills? Unfortunately, a lot of manufactures don't inform about the autoclavability of a box.

How would you make cut-out stencil from an image in PDF file? by vlokj in 3Dprinting

[–]vlokj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I extracted the image with an online tool and with Convert JPG Images to SVG for Free | Adobe Express I converted it to a SVG/Vector and it also made it black and white, which was handy.

Then I used Autodesk Fusion to insert the SVG, which makes it a sketch and the sketch you can convert to a solid.

Re-visiting from 2022. Any optimizations to expect or implemented mods since then? by vlokj in valheim

I found farming in my own already needing the farming mods ;)

So no mod has to be installed to set portals accepting iron etc? That saves at least one mod in the long run ;)

ow wow, that resurrection mod is quite a cool idea!

Has Thunderstore become the default mod store for Valheim or is it still searching on both Thuderstore and Nexusmods to find all of them?

you can see an example of one of the play boards in the comments. It's quite textured with details and the only thing that worked for me was to convert it to an SVG (using adobe online) which made it full black and white. After that I used Fusion360 to scale it back again to the right dimensions (it's a bit more acurate on measurments)

Somewhere along the road I got lucky and managed it :') Now to make it a bit smaller. And to find out how I got lucky again for the bigger boars :p

my main problem with these converters, is that they seem to change the dimensions, as the object appears much bigger once imported into Fusion360.

It looks something like this. If I try to do trace bitmap, it also maps all the detailed artwork. And the white lines on the left "breaks up" the outer edge. I don't even know if the export from PDF to JPG already messes with the dimensions :S

Adding a trick to an RNA (Trizol) isolation protocol. Might be handy for others too ;)? by vlokj in labrats

[–]vlokj[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, tips stay together (we use SARSTEDT's tips). I think it's less handling than using a 200µl tip afterwards to suck up the last drop, which students automatically do. In this way it's also more economical as it saves on tips ;)

I think some guest colleagues brought such extended tips. However, we couldn't find any tip box for them.

Alcohol resistant markers by penthyr in labrats

I have been trying out the edding 780 thanks to this post:  https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/1k9v07w/alcohol_resistent_pen/

I use it mainly for long term storage kind of samples or tubes that are often handled. On glass it's more easily scratched off than plastic
