meatpimp posted:Crappy picture of a temporary installation, but here it is with the translucent sheet taped to the windshield with both front and back protective coverings still on: Is the reflected image focused at like 15-20 yards like a HUD is supposed to be, or is it focused right at the display or windshield? Optics are magic to me, but it is supposed to be the former so you can read the display without taking your focus off the road. I have no idea how you focus an image at a distance farther out that it is, so I can't explain how it works or why. Basically if the optics and display element work how they are supposed to I might go for a couple of the 10 dollar ones and see if I can hack on the firmware or just swap out the microcontroller and make it do exactly what I want.

Massachusetts has had 3? 4? tornados since I bought my house. The first one passed right by me (literally missed me by half a mile, the day I moved in, with no home insurance and all my belongings in the living room in boxes.) I'm not really a fan and they were super weak tornados. You guys in the south are welcome to take your missing tornados back anytime.

The moment I am getting too far gone from dementia or alzheimers is the moment I tell my family I am sorry, but it is better if things end how they are and they don't have to financially support me turning into a vegetable living a nightmare. I would rather go out still mentally aware and leave everyone remembering how I was than put myself or anyone else through that horror for years. Let's go skydiving one last time, you can keep the parachute. Bye now!  My paternal grandfather had dementia and alzheimers and it was absolutely horrible watching him disappear mentally. No way am I putting anyone else OR myself through that if I get that diagnosis.

Terrible Robot posted:My guts are made of titanium and hatred, I can't remember the last time I had more than minor indigestion. Likewise for my immune system, when I do get sick it's for maybe a day or two at most, if it even gets that bad. Likewise. I caught some serious hatred at lunch on Friday when one of my coworkers finished a sentence with "and I've found portion control is very important in dieting." and I looked up from my third two inch thick fluffernutter, grinned, and said "yeah! It really is"  (I might be an rear end in a top hat) Being able to eat anything and not have any indigestion problems or weight gain is great, but I'm sure it won't last much longer and then I'll have to actually watch my food intake.

That depends entirely on whether you're talking about yellow or white signs, have you read the drivers handbook? I can generally maintain 10-20mph over their recommendation even in a shagged out beat up jeep with 250k miles on the suspension, so I think you may need more practice.

I can't wait until every hypochondriac in the country assumes they have ebola and panics during flu season. That's gonna be great. Then they will all go to the ER and vastly increase their chances of actually running into one of the half dozen people who have it.

I don't meet craigslist people at my house, ever. I tell them that I am in a certain town and that my street is two turns off of the nearest marked road, that it's dirt and probably impassable unless they have 4 wheel drive, and that I'm tired of trying to direct people through it all over the phone WHEN they get lost so let's just meet in the grocery store parking lot a mile from my house, it's easier that way. Which is all strictly true except it's 3 blocks from my house and I also don't want them knowing where I live. Internet tough guys I am not afraid of, stupid broke rear end crackheads and tweakers who buy rusty car parts off craigslist I most certainly am, I've got way too much cool poo poo made out of metal sitting around to see it all end up in a scrapyard due to some tweaker getting sticky fingers late one night.

Motronic posted:Yep, just reflow it from the bottom. Beat me to it on both fronts. I am not sure if that cap is actually burst or if it is just a trick of the camera, but it looks burst. Replace with same type, diameter, pin spacing, same or higher voltage, same (within about 10%, but that one is nothing special so digikey/mouser/jameco/allied/newark/element14/farnell/whatever company you want will certainly have an exact match) capacitance. If the top is actually flat, you are fine, if the top is bulging, you need a new one. Check the rest of the board too and see if any others are getting fishy. Use a nice weak iron for that, no torches, no acid flux, rosin 60/40 or 63/37 alloy solder only, gently caress RoHS leadfree. Don't put too much heat into it and don't scrub at the board or you will damage the copper traces. Other than that it is pretty easy really. Oh, and that connector may just be hashed, but try reflowing it first. At least it doesn't appear to be one of the ones with an integral switch that closes when there's no plug inserted - those sometimes get nasty and have to be replaced. It actually looks like the back of a right angle SPDT slide switch. kastein fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Oct 21, 2014 |

I usually buy ThermalTake power supplies, they have been pretty good to me and don't break the bank. No name = no buy. Learned that lesson when a no-name that came with a case I bought proceeded to nuke a motherboard, stick of RAM, and a network card all in one go. Shot little bits of MOSFET case plastic all over when they grenaded, too.

KozmoNaut posted:Also, Firefox and Chrome do some caching in RAM, which can artificially inflate their memory usage statistics. In my case, they inflate it a lot, since I mirror all of my profile/cache directories to a RAM disk for performance and to reducing wear on my SSD. Seriously, tabs in chrome that I haven't actually done anything other than scroll up and down (reference data I keep open while working) will be consuming 500+MB after a week or two. Closing them and reopening results in this dropping by an order of magnitude. Programmers just really really suck at memory management, and unfortunately us computer engineers keep enabling them by giving them more. If you do the same thing in firefox eventually the whole browser hits 3GB (which is a magic number because firefox for windows is only released as a 32 bit app, and WoW64 processes get a 3/1 split memory map these days) and it can't allocate any more, so it just barfs everywhere. Not kidding, poo poo just stops rendering properly, black boxes appear in strange spots, corrupted data from pages long closed shows up where something else should, fonts suddenly go monospaced, etc. It's pathetic to see and tells me that whoever wrote the code responsible for it had no idea what this strange thing known as a "return value" from malloc() is, and why it being -1 means something. e: before people say "well don't do that" - I'm sorry, it's a valid loving use case, and pushing usage to the extremes is how you find the bugs that normal users will be annoyed by every few weeks much faster than that. If they just checked their return values and handled it gracefully I'd have no complaint, but I spent 3 years of my life finding this kind of bug professionally and harping on retarded software developers to fix their lovely code, so it really annoys me to see it in production releases of software. kastein fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Oct 23, 2014 |

Unlike audiophile bullshit where you really can replace high grade cabling with coathangars and none of the supposed experts will notice the signal quality difference, high speed digital data connections actually need quality, impedance-matched wiring to get good data rates. You might be able to jam some through power lines but don't really count on it, if you want to know why, it's time to read up on RF theory, transmission lines, impedance matching, etc. Depending on what exactly is inside the breakers in your panel they may effectively block any small amount of signal that actually makes it that far up the line, and even if it does make it through, the two devices absolutely must be on the same hot leg, even if they're on different breakers. Basically what I'm saying is every product that claims to do that involves either a lot of RF witchcraft or a lot of marketing lies/bullshit, or possibly both. It's a very difficult technical problem to get signals in that high a frequency range through that lovely a connection.
