Only certain planets (like ours) actually have a liquid core with a solid outer crust. Most rocky planets are like Mars, completely solid all the way through.

I believe what the other commenter was getting at is that, on large scales, the solids that make up planets behave like liquids do at smaller scales. Since if you zoom out, there’s not much different between a bunch of rocks loosely held together with gravity and a water droplet weakly held together by surface tension.

Something not many people have mentioned… What country do you live in?

I was planning on trying to get diagnosed, but then RFK “Brainworm” Jr. announced his little “autism registry” plan. He went back on that, but it still has made me far more weary about being diagnosed as an adult. I have also heard, although this is purely conjecture and may be wrong, that having an autism diagnosis can make it harder to migrate to another country if shit hits the fan.

However, for your kid, I do think there are benefits that outweigh the downsides. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD since I was a teenager, and it allowed me to get academic accommodations in college that were pretty invaluable. I can imagine they would have had an even bigger impact as a kid in school.

It seems like the Imgur album only has a photo of the back of the board. I think HVS004 might be the wrong number, can you take a close up photo of the chip (and surrounding circuitry) with a flash for a clearer view?

It’s also weird that a bug could have fried itself across a chip that only runs off a few volts. “Bug zappers” usually use at least a few kV. Maybe that IC runs off the 33v line or it was a particularly wet bug, but I suspect that might not be your issue.

It shouldn’t cause issues, since the water will remain in the heater without any pressure to push it out, there’s no difference between leaving it sitting with the valve open or closed.

Now, draining the tank could actually cause problems… But there’s not any reason for you to do that for what you’re trying to accomplish.

You should be able to turn off that cold water inlet valve instead. The pressure from the hot water tank comes from the cold water being pushed into it, so just turn off the valve and open a hot water faucet somewhere nearby to release any pressure that has already built up or may get through that crappy valve.

Data lines are nice and parallel, and are only a few cm long, so definitely shouldn’t be a problem.

My main feedback is that some of those capacitors (such as C36 and C37) are physically very tiny, you have plenty of space to spare so I don’t see a reason to not use larger parts like 0804 or even 1206 (using the imperial measurements).

Why do you have the spiral trace going to the power switch? Just for aesthetics, or something else? There are a few other places with traces making spirally twists too.

I’m quite a fan of “old office PC from eBay with Debian LTS” myself. You can often get them with decent specs for $30-$40 (less than a Pi) since companies will deprecate them en-mass when their support contract ends.

ConcernedApe has been very supportive of modding Stardew Valley, so I don’t see why this game would be different

I mean, what are they gonna do? Mess with the atomic clocks and throw off everyone’s ability to geolocate? Probably not, since then everyone would just move to the still-accurate signals from the European and Chinese equivalents.

…or do you just not understand how GPS works?

The title isn’t saying that he identifies as a man, it’s saying that the identity of the person in the video was found, as he was unidentified before now.

Did you just call Ars Technica an “internet rot site”?

Good way to make it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.

They don’t have a monopoly. Full stop. Just off the top of my head, we have Epic Games Store, GOG, and Itch.io, which may not be as popular as Steam, but are absolutely viable alternatives if Steam ever goes completely to shit.

A real monopoly is like how, in my city in the US, there is exactly ONE company you can buy electricity and gas from. It’s a subsidiary of Avangrid, which is a Swedish corporation, not even on the same continent. They’ve been doing incredibly fucky shit with billing customers for years now and they have the mayor in their pocket, so if you want electricity, you have no choice other than to pay up. There are no alternatives unless you have the money to pay up front for a full off-grid solar install.

Also, TrueNAS loads entirely into RAM upon boot, meaning the SSD will only be used once when the computer is powered on. So apart from that few seconds, there won’t be any additional power draw from the SSD.

It could just be your DNS, I’ve had problems with Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 and Catbox but I think they actually have a list of ISPs and DNS providers that give them issues. I don’t think you can manually specify a DNS server on cellular (without some weird workaround), but if you have issues on other networks you can try changing your DNS and see what happens.

I believe both Firefox and Chromium support JXL now, although they probably need to be enabled as an experimental setting.

Because the door handles are not always disabled in a crash. There’s technically a system in place to extend the handles if a crash is detected, which works the majority of the time. The issue is that, clearly, this system is not reliable enough (because, ya know, if the control system gets wrecked in a crash, it cant extend the handles). But my guess is that it still works enough in crash tests to not automatically disqualify it from 5-stars.

I mean, this sounds like exactly the correct way to go about this. Make it opt-in, and data is only used to find/address problems with the system and not to track your usage habits to sell you ads. I don’t have a problem with this.

I know this doesn’t address your question, but I wanted to kindly nudge you in the direction of uploading both the STL and 3MF. In this case it seems like the 3MF file would avoid rasterizing the SVG and allow better upscaling of the model if someone so desires (plus, personally, I find 3mf files to just be much easier to work with, and since they’re almost universally supported now I don’t see a reason to only distribute the inferior STL version).

I cannot recall a single self-hosted software documentation that mentions how to keep the docker config file up to date. Why bother wasting 5 seconds writing such an unhelpful comment

Wanna provide any examples of that happening anywhere at any appreciable scale?
