    I'm guessing the hot swap socket came loose. Could be from you pushing in the switch without supporting the hot swap socket from behind, as you really should do. If you open the keyboard and check the PCB from behind, you might be able to tell if this has happened.

    Yes, without the ' Excel will treat the cells as numbers, and drop the leading zeros.  The ' means text so it'll keep em.

    You got 1.5 W to play with.  Will even drive the Moondrop Paras that require 1W for 80 db.
     
    Edit: You will have pure unaltered sound all the way to hearing loss levels.  You're sitting at end-game with this all in one.

    Rodinski reacted to Poinkachu in Risk of dislodging chips if removing m3 adhesive on nVME drives?   
    From what I've seen so far it seems the tape does only sticks to the NANDs & Controller.
    Other component seems fine, and IMHO should be fine since none of them is in contact with the tape (meaning nothing pulling them out when you tried to pull the heatsink).
    Although if you did ended up bending the PCB when pulling, the contact pads & solder might separate, but it is less likely to happen.

    at this point you will need heat and will need a very thin card or a picking tool. Ifixit has those available

    A pic of what you think dislodged would help us giving an informed answer.
     
    My ADATA SX8200 Pro heatsink also didn't come off easily, at the end of the day managed to peel off the heatsink off the NVME, but the heatsink bent out of shape.
    But everything on the PCB was fine. And it works fine up until now(Around 1,5 years). Though I can't say it wil surely be the same for you and your nvme.
    IMHO, unless they use some sort of crazy strong adhesive or some sort of botchy job of a solder. The NAND & Controller should be fine.
    Those 2 are mainly the components on the PCB the thermal tape adheres to.
     
    If you want to take off an adhesive tape, thermal pad, thermal paste, try heating it a bit first. ( Obviously, I learned this after attempting to remove my heatsink )
    Luckily in PC, parts makes heat, so... just stress test the part a bit before trying to remove it.
    Using the fishing line method also helps sometimes .

    There is a low profile version of the Box White, called the Choc White. It has a click bar for tactility, same as the regular profile White switch. It is however not compatible with Cherry MX style keycaps, PCBs or plates, so you would have to get another keyboard if you want to use those. Logitech uses a variant of the switch on the G815 and G915, rebranded as the GL Clicky.

    What's the point of using DDG if all the things you read are the same anyway? Seems very biased to think that disinformation only exists on one side when last week the "ghost of kiev" turned out to be just a video game recording.

    Rodinski got a reaction from IPD in Facebook whistleblower alleges executives misled investors about climate, covid hoaxes in new SEC complaint.   
    The best way to defeat any extremist thinking is to allow open discussion. Such methodology brought us to many civil liberties today, especially to minorities. To achieve those freedoms and then revert those aspects of society that brought upon change seems moronic to me. If you need to censor a thought with force, it's usually because your position can't be defended rationally. You won't convince everyone, but it as effectively eliminated racism in the western world outside of fringe minority groups with little to no social power. This idea that the western world is inherently racist is only a selling point of various media channels, not that it's a reality. Only as censorship has continued to rise has such extremist thinking been escalated. 
     
    You fight misinformation by exposing factual information. You credit it and allow open discussion. The division only results in both parties creating echo chambers for their cognitive dissonance. Just look at the RCMP trampling the native Canadian in the freedom rallies. That was considered "misinformation". You can't trust these sources anymore. Allowing them to censor information is a horrific mistake.

    Facebook "fact-checking" isn't even about checking facts and displaying truth, it is about narrative control and telling you what opinions you are allowed to have and what you are not, what 'truths' you have to accept and which ones you should not. The "facts" are intentionally politically one sided opinions and has been admitted so in a court of law.
