Apps have weird behavior without admin rights
Hackentosher replied to Hackentosher's topic in Windows
I'm not on a new copy of Windows, I copied the contents of my boot disk to an external drive as a backup, placed the boot disk back in my laptop, and re-powered on. My hunch is somewhere in that process some config file(s) got moved or deleted that borked permissions across the install. It's probably not worth it to track down the specific issue over nuking this install. I'm not familiar with SIDs, are those configurations I can fix? I've tried reinstalling a couple of programs, but this has had inconsistent effects. MobaXterm showed no change after a reinstall, but I remember Chrome and some others being buggy after the water incident until I reinstalled. -
So a while ago my laptop had an encounter with water while powered off. Before powering on, I removed the SSD and copied its contents to an external drive to be safe. I was able to dry the laptop well enough and it booted and worked fine, but ever since that incident many programs have weird behaviors. Some of them wont run at all unless given admin rights, some have limited functionality without admin rights. For example, my terminal program MobaXterm can't open any new sessions beyond favorited sessions, or KiCAD can't find my custom part libraries without admin rights. Updating/reinstalling these programs has not fixed the issue, the only thing I can think to do is reformat and reinstall windows, but I would like to avoid that if I can. Has anyone ever seen this kind of behavior before and found a fix for it?

The house I just moved into has very thick floors so wifi in the basement sucks AND has brick walls. Fortunately TV cable was run into just about every room from the outside, the holes are just big enough for the cable, not the connector. So I just spent the last hour removing the RG-6 cable and the connector that broke off in the wall only to realize the hole is still too small for an RJ45 connector
It's actually super easy to crimp your own connectors if you have the right tools!
I wouldn't let that stop you from running cabling, if width is the only concern.

that's the plan, just gotta wait for mr bezos to deliver one

if you connected them in parallel it would be 12 V 20 A.

If you run a 24 pin to it it might turn on.

Are CPU clocks, GPU clocks etc reported anywhere?
Hackentosher replied to da na's topic in Hobby Electronics
You would probably need a python script that could grab your GPU clock from whatever windows service. From there, there are serial libraries for python that can be used to talk to an arduino. Edit: this thread looks helpful, maybe the pywin32 library can access real time gpu clock speed. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38103690/get-system-informationcpu-speed-total-ram-graphic-card-model-etc-under-window -
You need bearings to support the wheel and the wheel supporting the weight of the scooter and rider. You could probably find a bearing with the same 22 mm OD with a wider ID to fit your motor's shaft. Try Fast Eddy Bearings or McMaster.

The caps will be fine so long as the voltage across them doesn't exceed their rating. However, if the circuit was not designed to be used/implemented how you plan to, you need to do your due diligence to that this is the case.

Vorons are super cool and I'm considering building one myself, but what's holding me back is that it's a project not a tool. Personally, I really need a 3D printer to be a tool to work on other projects. For that reason when the time comes, I'll probably be replacing my dead Ultimaker with a Prusa i3 or Prusa XL. The other thing about the Voron is to build it properly you need to spend more than just the Formbot kit. Proper Voron 2.4 builds cost $1300-$1700 if you don't cut any corners, which puts them right around where the Prusa XL is. If you're okay with that and willing to put in the work, I'm sure you could build a kickass Voron.

When is a circuit breaker required in a circuit?
Hackentosher replied to 2DPrinter's topic in Hobby Electronics
For that application, I would strongly recommend a fuse because they're dead nuts reliable and I believe they can be faster than breakers. The size of the circuit interrupter depends on the lowest maximum continuous current consumption of any one device in the power system. For example, if your battery can safely deliver 100 A but your motor controller can only consume 40 A, then I would put a 40 A fuse between the battery and motor controller. -
Building a Home Server on a budget.
Hackentosher replied to Dorfink's topic in New Builds and Planning
What was you experience like? I'm pretty curious, but I usually dismiss them in favor of platforms with more modern features and lower power consumption. -
Building a Home Server on a budget.
Hackentosher replied to Dorfink's topic in New Builds and Planning
There's some chinese lga 2011 boards that seem pretty good, linus did a video on one of them. The only thing is that FreeBSD can be a little picky with hardware, so I would look for a thread on the Truenas forum for the specific board you're looking to use. Otherwise I would go to ebay and pick up a 2011 board, preferably a server board. -
Seems to me you should try to find a good compromise with your dad for peripherals. That seems like the most elegant solution to me.

Looking for a small NAS / Home Server Case
Hackentosher replied to VectorTech's topic in Cases and Mods
Define R5 is probably the correct answer (i think i'll migrate my server from my old NZXT case to an r5 soon-ish). I've also been eyeing the silverstone CS381, but it's pretty expensive.
