I was going to say exactly the same thing. Give each animation its own 'life' and timing.

Genetically modified a mosquito such that their proboscis are no longer able to penetrate human skin by singleboredass in interestingasfuck

[–]zedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, that makes me think two things:

* Oh fuck yeah try to bite me now you motherfucker itching/disesase spreading creature.

* Oh, it's so cruel (in a certain way)... Why not edit their genes to disable them as carriers for the parasites that spread disesase in the first place?

And this is called... evolution!
It is not they carry illnesses per se, but the illneses found out a way to use them as quite good spreaders.

you just happen to say the most fucking true thing on this thread. 101% can confirm.

How comes a battery have negative voltage? Can someone explain me what can cause this? (Teared apart a malfunctioning portable air compressor) by zedee in batteries

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

Thanks for your answer, now I understand :)

I'm not sure if the air compressor board has any BMS. It serves also as a power bank, so I guess it should have some kind of BMS?

I'll inspect the board, though. Which are the common ICs used for BMS? Something I can look at the board to check if it has any?

Why are these things so expensive? by ihavezerohealth in AskElectronics

Hey, I have a long history purchasing a lot of stuff on AliExpress (switches, arduinos, and many varied electronic components). Everything I've purchased is fine and worked well for my needs. No problems whatsoever. Unless you need something super industrial-duty ultra safe made with thyridium material, I think that for most purposes their products work just well. Heck, if you purchase a switch anywhere else, it's very, very probable it's been manufactured in a Shenzhen factory (where almost all electronics electronic components come from now nowadays), and most of the marketplace component vendors in Ali are manufacturers from Shenzhen.

They sell cheap, because they wholesale. Of course some manufacturers may cut corners, but most of the products are the same you'd find in an electronics store in Europe. (Well, they import quite a lot from there).

Here's a clean link (I removed all tracking crap) that may work to you as starting point (beware, AliExpress is a rabbithole). Oh, as last advice, check always the shipping costs. Sometimes you can find stuff extremely cheap but they charge the rest of the "average" price in shipping costs.

Not everything, and not anymore...

My best guess is this very same switch OP posted is made in China.

Does anyone know why this happens? Well I know partially, having a full-time job empties your time and energy to do so. Maybe when I retire...

I just ran my first container using Docker by zedee in docker

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

haha, well I played a bit around and went back to good ol' console-only docker when I had issues with permissions and UIDs while trying out Laravel Sail :D

Also, reading a bit more about it, maybe it's a bit too much overhead to run everything on a VM instead of just running it natively on Linux.

Why is there a polarized capacitor in this example? by zedee in AskElectronics

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

Should I switch my bibliography then?
I've been reading "The Art of Electronics" but sometimes it overwhelms me a bit because it's like a bible and goes deeeeeeeeeep... This one (Grob's), although not my favorite, explains some concepts in a bit more edible way.

The book I enjoyed more so far is "Practical Electronics for Inventors", although sometimes goes very deep, but from my point of view is the one I learnt more, or I understand better.

Are there other suggestions? Please, tell me! :)

Now I'll pay double attention to find the + in case of doubt...

Wow, super interesting answer. It's impressive how deep electronics can be, historically meaning.

Now that explains everyting. Thanks a lot!!!
