You've got it all wrong, in traditional computer terminology the "hard drive" is the box that sits under the desk that collects cat fluff and cigarette tar.
(Edit: they keep a small amount of propellant in reserve for the initial deorbit burn, and then position the solar array to give maximum drag which hastens things considerably)
As far as I know, apart from the first few batches, the "production run" of sats has a pretty low failure rate and are proactively sent to their demise.
People don't just leave leaking apps out there for consumption.
Ha! Welcome to corporate, where vendors sell you software and say that the hardware has to have 128GB of ram and when you poke around a bit you discover a single JVM with constantly growing memory usage with a script that restarts it every time it runs out of resources.
AND a log file that describes - in typical Java excruciating detail - the precise lines in each module where the devs allocated resources but didn't free them. About 40 times a second.
USA and Russia have public talks and say they have a "good solution".
Ukraine says ,"We are not interested in a solution negotiated by a third party and the aggressor in this conflict"
USA says "oh look Ukraine isn't coming to the party here these negotiations were in good faith we can't believe how they're acting we are withdrawing support."
Ukraine gets stomped on, USA and Russia divvy up the spoils of war.
Lots of expensive industrial equipment runs these kinds of processors still. You can still buy motherboards with 8 bit ISA slots even, although you'll pay quite a premium.
But all of that kind of gear typically runs its own distro with an in-house build system. For example, my work uses a flavour of Buildroot for their embedded Linux systems and you can just set whatever processor type you like all the way back to plain old i386 when you build it.
It's only one wire in the cable, and it's not the wire, but it looks like the pin, or possibly the crimp point on the female pin.
So a few possibilities:
Bad pins. Female pins (sockets) have internal wipers that grip the male pin and there is also the crimp connection. Bad QA on those leads to hotspots in the pin under high current draw. I'd probably go for this explanation, looking at the photos.
Bad electrical layout on the card that means that the bulk of the current goes through this pin. Milliohms on the track traces are enough to cause imbalances. This might be balanced out by having a small-but-still-larger resistance in the (standard) cable, which leads to:
It looks like thicker cabling is soldered and heatshrinked to smaller cabling that actually goes into the pins in the connector. There's a reason why industrial cable connections aren't soldered. Possibly a solder connection on another cable has broken and hidden in the hearshrink leaving more current to pass through this one.
Following from this it's also quite possible that the thicker cable with less resistance , now has less voltage drop across it, and simply allows more current then designed through a connection already at its limit.
It's quite possible that there are different pins/connector sets for different current draws. This cable might be using the wrong connector with the same physical size but lower current rating. The fact that the cable has been soldered to skinnier wires in the actual connector suggests this, but it's quite possible that the connector is the right one.
I used to have a mythtv box that I'd built , like, 15 years ago and it was pretty good. For a while there TV UIs were adequate enough that I didn't need it, but it seems that maybe it's time to build another one.
TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it's input shouldn't exist.
Some of that input could do with a bit of tweaking though.
I wouldn't mind if the TV was able to do things with the audio track, like remove background music, or lift the volume of people speaking, or erase laugh tracks/live audience hooting& hollering.
There's probably similar manipulation that you could do on the video side (eventually, once TVs stop getting the worst processors ever, not here and now). Imagine a prompt that says "Airbrush every recognisable brand name on-screen so that it blends with the background".
I seriously doubt if any major manufacturer would do that kind of thing though, so better get working on jailbreaking those TVs.
So you take care with the bits that have to deal with C, just like you have to with C code itself, and then all the rest of your code is still safe by default. Still a net improvement, yes?
If you occasionally boot to windows, it's known to leave NICs in an unusable state if you just hibernate/quick power off. You need to boot back to windows and so a "proper" shutdown for it to come good.
Consider yourself corrected then. I've skimmed your comment history. Your go-to insult is "bootlicker" or alternatively, a simple clown emoji. In your comments you seem to provide very little context as to why you think that, it's just, "I deem you to be a BOOTLICKER! Next!"
So maybe a little guidance for you:
The very, very, first thing you do when dealing with perceived propaganda - be it on mainstream media, online, or wherever - is to remove all the emotion and insults and see what's left. You know what I see when I parse your comments like that? Very little.
Thus I conclude you have nothing of importance to say, and you become background noise that gets tuned out.
Actually your comments do have some small value. I check your bootlicker-comment-score and if it's greater than 5, I know the community you posted in isn't worth my time.
It is generally musical while selecting program options. It sings a little song when finished, which is only after it unlocks the door. The little song only plays once. The little song can be changed to other tunes by subtle and undocumented button presses.
After about 10 minutes it plays a few notes while turning itself off that are easily recognisable as the notes it plays when it turns itself off, so if you miss the first little song, once you hear that you know it's definitely finished. After that it is done. No more door locking shenanigans or tumbling or clothes.
Generally I use the "sportswear" cycle which is about 1 hour, my clothes are generally not that dirty. Sometimes I treat towels / linen to a hot cotton cycle which is 2.5 hours and a 90 degree (Celsius) wash.
Had it for 10 years now, no mechanical or electrical issues. I always leave the door ajar when finished and once every few months I do a cleaning cycle.
I also have a Fisher and Paykel dryer. I have owned it for 8 years, in which time it has needed a replacement drive belt as it gets used heavily. The bushes on the drum need replacing soon, but I just turned it upside down so it will last for a while longer
Regarding your door issues, well that's because idiots try and open the door during a load, and then when it's locked, they turn it off and still try and open the door. They subsequently complain about the water going everywhere. Don't forget that manufacturers have to deal with the lowest common denominator end user.
