#notlegaladvice #notalaywer Depending on the country you live in the patent(s) might not be a problem, if the table is for private non-commercial use. The whole 'table patent part' felt a bit strange at first, but there might have been reasons to have it in the video: YouTube is a US company and - when I recall correctly - patent laws in the US are stricter than in Canada when it comes to 'private use'. So when anyone recognizes the table's design, LTT is on the safe side. Even for Canadian patent law this might be in a gray area. Although the table itself will only be used non-commercially, it is featured in much detail in a sponsored, monetized video. Again, better safe than sorry. They are Canadians. They are nice (well... mostly... for exceptions watch the video).

GN's decision to treat LMG the same as any other company when reporting news is admirable. I value GN's reviews and news, for they are well researched and presented. But I was taken aback with comparing the sale of the "Trust me Bro" shirt to a fictional Artesian "reroll" shirt. Introducing a commentary segment in the news. fine Expressing their opinion on profiting of customer concerns. good Substantiate their opinion with similar opinions from other sources. even better Showing clips of Luke's reactions on the WAN show. excellent Making up a fictional situation, where Artesian Builds sells a "reroll" shirt, including a "... and there is the reroll" clip. substandard Referring to an actual incident would have been more appropriate, in my opinion. I even would have accepted "This behavior is as distasteful as pineapple on pizza."

I know, the last 1 1/2 years have been hard for dungeon crawlers and netrunners alike. Only players of "The Masquerade" got something out of it, I guess?! /S Have pen and paper rgp’s reached EOL? Or are you just waiting for real life, non-video-chatting get-togethers to be a thing again to dust off your dice and use a scroll of resurrection?

Thank you! It was very hard to make the list. For the 80s my brain was going: "The Breakfast Club or Footloose, The Breakfast Club or Footloose, The Breakfast Club or Footloose, ..." and then some says ... ...uff I kinda excluded Blues Brothers and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (for the 70s) because they are musical-ish. I had to make some sacrifices in order to come to a decision. The 90s were difficult as well, Tremors, Clerks, Pulp Fiction, Se7en, The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys,... In the end it was not only the movie itself that influenced my decision, but the personal experience surrounding the movie (places watched, who I watched with, condition I was in while watching [note: NEVER watch The Core sober while surrounded by geologists!] ) As for 11:14: The first time I saw it was at a film festival. Didn't know what to expect and was blow away. Afterwards the director and some of the cast were on stage... just amazing.

TL;DR Does an air-duct between radiator and fan(s) increase the cooling potential for AIO and custom loop water cooling? Motivation Watching videos featuring a dusty radiator I always notice the "dust free" spot on the radiator behind the fan hub. I’m wondering, if there is some wasted cooling potential here. Would it be possible to achieve better cooling, if the extra area behind the fan hub and spokes and in the corners had (more) air flow? Examples of the "dust free" spot Intermission If at this point any radiator manufacturer or fluid dynamics guru wants to tell me ”Don’t worry. Everything is fine as it is.”, please do so. I just kindly ask for an explanation and will withdraw this video suggestion. Here’s a description of the video I’d love to see:

I like way too many movies I'll just go by decade. 1960s : Irma la Douce 1970s : Monty Python's Life of Brian, but Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is sooo close 1980s : The Breakfast Club 1990s : The Big Lebowski (Starship Troopers gets an honorable mention*) 2000s : 11:14 2010s : Deadpool *Because I will never forget what a movie critic on a local TV station said about it: "If you want a popcorn movie, go watch it. It's beautiful people in a beautiful war." and it was! TGIF, I think I'm going to have a movie night.

Thank you! I had to move some furniture in my living room, but here you go... LEGO_mecanum_rover_MOC.mp4 music: https://www.purple-planet.com/passport It really struggles with moving sideways on carpet, but my kitchen isn't large enough to shoot a video edit: Okay, the uploaded webm file won't play (in my browser) and now it only displays a 24kB uploaded file. I'll look into it on the weekend(?). I'll just have to find a way to get the video file <20MB and in a [dis]playable format Playback in the browser does not work (for me), but at least the file is downloadable. It's a low quality mp4 and I can claim, that the "dirt" on the carpet are compression artifacts

Disclaimer Yes, I’ve read the "This thread is old!" warning and decided to post anyway. Subsection, title of OP, keywords still fit and I don’t see the need for a new "Show off your Lego! (part II)" thread. This is my Raspberry Pi controlled LEGO mecanum wheel "roadster". Ever since I saw a DJI RoboMaster S1, I wanted one of those… … but I did not want to spend the money (Little did I know what was to come. Curse you Bricklink!). And when the Qihui 9802 Jaeger Master was released, I already was too invested in my own project. I wanted to reuse the 'old' LEGO Power Function IR Receivers to control the four XL motors. So I took my Raspberry Pi and a power bank, added some wires, transistors and IR LEDs, wrote a python script and... voilà! It’s funny how months of work, frustration, sweat and tears can appear so simple and easy in hindsight. But since this is a “LEGO show-off” thread, I won’t bother you with the non-LEGO details. Maybe just two things I like to mention. 1. IT WORKS! All the additional movements you’d expect from a vehicle with omnidirectional wheels work; strafing, turning on the spot, driving diagonally and more. "Normal driving" works like a vehicle with tracks (e.g. driving curves -> inner wheels turn slower) 2. I did modify the LEGO battery packs for the motors. Each now holds three rechargeable lithium cells. Those 14500* cells are a smidge longer then your typical AA batteries and therefore some dremelling was required. The 11.1V** really make a difference when it comes to the speed*** of the model. * type of cell, not the quantity ** 3x3.7V, up from the usual 9V (6x1.5V) *** It’s not fast, but feels adequate.

Hi there, just two ideas: Are the python scripts controlling the lights just called if something shall change? e.g.: light.py on light.py off light.py disco You could use a shell script and ssh (batch file and putty on Windows ? ) to send the commands to the Raspberry Pi's. Something like: $> cat remotelight.sh #! /usr/bin/env bash shh user@Pi_one "light.py $1" & shh user@Pi_two "light.py $1" & shh user@Pi_three "light.py $1" & $> remotelight.sh on At this point it's handy to have look at 'passwordless login' with ssh. Then you will not need to type in the password three times, just distribute the key file along with the script. ( I cannot quite remember, but it is (was?) a little bit more complicated with putty (location of the key file? format of the key file?), but still possible). Maybe add an extra 'lightuser' that runs the scripts and ssh's into the Raspberry Pi's. Or... ...are the python scripts controlling the lights running constantly in the background (daemons)? Then you could "add a python socket sever" to the scripts that listens for remote commands. A simple implementation is not very difficult, just "learned" it myself for a home project. But it's not as secure as an ssh connection. If you " [...] don't want the kids accessing [the page.]" but someone with a port scanner gets intrigued by what might be hiding behind that open port, you might end up with 'light.py disco' all the time. SSH tunneling, an authentication back-end and/or encryption for the python socket sever might be a little over the top for this project. Cheers.

Additionally: An often underestimated point in a backup strategy is the sanity of the backup files and a regular checkup, if restoring files will actually work when needed. backup (sort-term storage (weeks, months), regularly rewritten) vs archive (long-term storage for your grand-grandchildren)

How about a video for AFOLs*? A video on the 42100 or 42099 could be fun. The "Tech Tips" part could be on how to "hack" CONTROL+ with a laptop, tablet or RasPi using LEGOs BLE wireless protocol documentation or an existing implementation like pyb00st. Also interesting (and still tech-ish, although LEGO) would be a comparison between CONTROL+, Buwizz and SBrick. *AFOL – adult fan of LEGO

The thing that made my Minecraft server more responsive was running it from a RAM disk. This is a good tutorial, including startup scripts and cron jobs for backups. Depending on the number of players and how explorative they are, this can take up several gigabytes (world size on disk, plus logs). Another thing that added some "bonus value" to the server was Minecraft Overviewer. The rendering can be quite time intensive. Especially if you do it for all directions and day and night. I had cron jobs for incremental updates every night and a full rerendering from Sunday to Monday night.

In my opinion the physics here is used in the "wrong direction". Instead of cooling there should be energy harvesting from excess heat. Stay with conventional cooling and throw those Peltier-elements in reverse! (TEC vs. TEG) Put TEGs in series on the VRM , chip set, GPU, CPU heat sinks,… and maybe there will be enough energy to power some RGB lights (If you put those to #00FF00, you will have the greenest green you’ve ever seen. ? ). If you want some real black magic for your cooling, try the cold end of a vortex tube.

To just find the 'php.ini' you could sudo find / -name php.ini and it would probably give you some choices /etc/phpX/cli/php.ini /etc/phpX/apache2/php.ini <--- /etc/phpX/cgi/php.ini But if all php files are in the right place and you get the ugly '404', it looks like your php files aren't processed. Did you try a simple 'helloworld.php"? <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> </body> </html> source: https://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php If you do not see the "Hello World", you should check that the PHP module is enabled, sudo apache2ctl -M should list all enabled modules. You can use a2enmod to enable the PHP module (or edit the httpd.conf file directly). sudo a2enmod php5 or php7.x Did you have a look at your '.htaccess' file? Maybe something is misconfigured there?
