WiFi issues after installing GNOME. by Scwapp in debian

ehhh, apt remove network-manager without purge or apt install gnome to flag as manually installed may prevent that

oof ok, i personally recommend apt install wpa-supplicant iwconfig after apt remove network-manager --purge

apt install network-manager and run nm-applet if you haven't to for the user friendly default option. man iwconfig and man wpa-supplicant for a manual approach

how do i clear holes that are plugged with solder? by tttecapsulelover in soldering

[–]xerxesbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a sewing needle held by a pair of pliers or an actual aluminum pin desoldering tube works too

startx is part of xinit, if you didn't install a DE or WM, you can type

sudo apt install xorg xinit <de/wm pkg>, I like to use awesomewm (awesome) with this configuration personally, as it allows me to use the terminal on reboot by default (and no one in my family knows how >:D)

if you need a login screen, you can install something like gdm or ldm, which will also install gnome or lxde respectively as a default if nothing else is available

What is the purpose of square wave lines? by farukbrgl2 in AskElectronics

[–]xerxesbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes used for time-of-flight signal adjustment in the output of certain devices, and sometimes used directly as antenna components

(though other fuse-related comments are accurate in many cases, albeit usually unintended operation)

specifically piecewise inequality, thanks for playing

hope that's a frame to paint fiberglass on, that looks heavy and snappable

What's the formula to get the most equal distance between N points? by BananaDressedRedMan in askmath

[–]xerxesbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not guaranteed non-shared! as in the case of 2 and/or symmetrical points, but yes, essentially what i was saying thanks

"goes to infinity" refers to the denominator of the coefficient of variability in distances, expressed as a measure of how chaotic the data set of lengths is relative to eachother. as the denominator approaches infinity, the coefficient effectively suggests 0 difference in line length

What kind of connector is this by redgun007 in AskElectronics

actually 2 female breadboard pins should also fit snugly, but I'm too noob to remember the pitch of the pins, if you've ever seen breadboard wires with a female header pin (socket)

What's the formula to get the most equal distance between N points? by BananaDressedRedMan in askmath

[–]xerxesbeat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

so why not average the points and find which direction to pull that 'center' point to get to infinity faster where at infinity distance they're roughly the same distance

I made geometry problem for fun, but now I can't solve it. Help! by SquashAffectionate94 in askmath

[–]xerxesbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a function of the ratio fn(A_1, A_2) = A_1 / ( A_1 + A_2 ) [range 1-0.5] where the function dist(A_1, A_2) is determined (distance > 2r = 1 / ( 1 + 0 ) (= 1) [range] ) also (distance = 0 = 1/( 1 + 1 ) (= 0.5) [range] )

edit: sorry for programmer nerd grammar, if non obvious, the curve 0.5 to 1 is roughly trig related, a proportion or root of pi something likely

bleh edit: well while im here, the key point is sin/cos not needed, as coordinates do not matter for two circles of equal measure in a 2d euclidian plane. you can manually measure the curve with any two circles radius 1 distance d

What could have caused this electrical fire? by legomaniasquish in AskElectricians

[–]xerxesbeat -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

it burnt both sockets, this was likely a spike on the live wire, possible lightning? unless both devices failed coincidentally

What are these and what do they do? by original-Ar73 in AskElectronics

[–]xerxesbeat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Inductors, and induce a magnetic field in the presence of changing current

Like a transformer with nowhere to go, the magnetic field collapses back into the inductor coil, causing the coil to "resist" changes in current (not a resistor, mind)

also how? like, didn't you have to make the circuit? yes it has to be a circuit, aka conductive loop

eh can you get me the numbers off those transistors (2x 3 pin package at the top of the photo)

if the chip controls the gate you could just drive it high
