Hey, much appreciated!
Hey, much appreciated!
Is anyone speaking Chinese able to tell me what the guy in the first scene of the video is crying out? The one where the rocket falls horizontally. I mean, I have a general idea what is being said there conceptually, but I’d love to get an actual, accurate translation.
I think with a lot of import products you need to be aware that you’ll be doing the QA and will in fact be working on the parts / product to get it to where you need it to be.
If you have the skills and the tools $280 + $3 for an unfinished pulley plus some time on the lathe or mill can still be worth it. I know this is asking a lot from a customer and maybe this particular example of a printer is not the best, i. e. it would totally be possible to manufacture this part within specs at cost, but I think the general notion still holds true.
I am on my 4th personal TUXEDO laptop, never had any issues. I actually started giving them to the devs at my company, no complaints so far.
They don’t offer my choice of OS, and I wouldn’t use a preinstalled OS anyway, so I can’t comment on that.
Technically, wouldn’t you need the guy 10 minutes in the direction of the rain cloud to have turned it on when you go on a hike? Makes the battery saving argument kinda moot I guess, you should get the notification anyway, if enough people in your area are providing sufficient data for the short term forecast.
Now in order to make that happen, people should participate if they’re using the feature, but that’s almost a moral argument I guess.
Anyway, would still be nice if iOS / Android had more fine grained permission controls.
Oh, tell me about it. Someone in my household has a habit of regularly creating watermelon that tastes like onion.
Modern fridges have compartments with seals that keep the moisture a lot longer, designed particularly with vegetables and fruit in mind.
Yeah, wanted to comment exactly that. You could literally watch him become crazier with every upload. At first I did overlook the odd comment, but he eventually went full nutjob and I had to unsubscribe.
Given how political punk was right from the start, I wouldn’t call it “just a music movement”.
Yes, absolutely. Not all hinges are adjustable, unfortunately. In fact, I’d argue that most are not. Just have a look at the hinges at your place (doors, cabinets, toilet seat etc.), most will be very simple mechanisms with no inbuilt adjustment.
You can adjust the play mechanically, of course - that is, through application of a certain amount of force via deformation, which can be a destructive process if not done carefully.
There are hinges that expose an axial screw that allows for precise adjustment of hinge friction, but I have not seen those used for laptop display lids (nor did I personally encounter those in the small dimensions you would find on a laptop) . You’ll find examples of those at Misumi or McMaster - Carr.
If your goal is to increase the friction in your laptop’s display lid hinges, you might find that simply tightening all screws of and around the hinge often does the trick. Even though the main axial screw is not meant to be user accessible, it serves basically the same function and can tighten up the hinge. Tightening the screws used for mounting will ensure the lid doesn’t wobble. You will have to (partially) take your laptop apart for that, naturally.
If your hinge doesn’t have an axial screw at all and uses, let’s say a pin, you might have to employ another method, but that would really depend on the actual mechanism being used.
Absolutely, if there is enough plastic left, melting is one of the best options. That also enables mending plastic by melting in metal pins or strips via a cheap plastic welder for 10 bucks (success can be great, but it’s highly dependent on the geometry and how things broke).
Edit: no, as I said, that’s absolutely fine if there is a chunk of sturdy plastic to accept the insert. I just wanted to present another plastic repair technique for the sake of completeness, if somebody stumbles into this comment section.
This is correct and good advice. I’d like to add that it’s also an option to glue in a threaded metal insert in case a self - tapping plastic screw was used and the original thread is stripped.
by loosening the screws of the hinge.
Generally all correct, here is a resource with a lot of in-depth information and additional links:

It’s not true that precision measurements are impossible with low value resistors, a lot of measurement equipment works exactly like that - it might just be more expensive than what the manufacturer is willing to budget for.
Tuxedo also offers products with an aluminum body, and while they do import the hardware from China, you get the local service and warranty guarantees any company in the EU must provide, so that’s fine by me.
Also, honest question: what do you think a unique laptop is, in particular when buying from a mass consumer brand like Lenovo? I really can’t figure out what that’s supposed to mean.
Handwriting hurts my wrists. My handwriting became super sloppy after what, like 40 years in front of a screen. Can’t index or search my notes. I had one of those pens that record everything using a camera on special, dotted paper, but no OCR can process my writing, and you need special paper.
But yeah, the idea seems interesting. I like dedicated devices these days. It have to carefully think about what I’ll be doing, pick an activity and then venture out to do the thing, packing the dedicated device that is suited for the task. I’m more focused that way, more productive.
However, that device here is not what I am looking for. Tiny keyboard, non ergonomic, colors too flashy.
Offer a free option for certification to indigenous midwifes?
lspci will read the vendor and device id via PCI and use that to determine what the device is. You might want to make the output a bit more digestable / useful via lspci -s 03:00.0 -k -nn
, but I’d assume the ids that match an 2070 will show up.
Could you please take the card out and provide us with a few pictures from different angles, maybe getting a good look at the actual chips?
I’d like to rule that out before chasing rabbits here.
Also, you could always run nvidia-settings
, which will show information about an NVIDIA card using a different access method.
I’d still like to see the pictures of the card though ;)
