  • Resistor/Capacitor broke off, anyone knows if it matters?

    Jump

  • It's a transistor, for switching parts on or off. It's either for a feature your not using, or in parallel with the other 3 for extra current capacity. In the second case it's possible it breaks in the future, perhaps try checking if they get hot when it's running.

  • Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps?

    Jump

  • That just pushes the heat production down the chain: Take a light: it converts electricity into electromagnetic waves. Those waves the get converted into heat when they hit things.

  • Non-Cloudflare AI blocking?

    Jump

  • Perhaps feed the convincing fake data so they don't realize they've been IP banned/used agent filtered.

    What would you rate Donald Trump's actual chances of getting more than two full terms as U.S. president?

    Jump

  • 1/3

    He's already shown he's willing to interfere with and straight up ignore the results of an electron. He's also willing to use the army as his personal goon squad, and has has support from the other branches. He's also perfectly capable of spinning a narrative that the election was "stolen"

    On the other hand, properly executing a coup is hard, and also old: It's entirely possible he dies in office. (of natural causes or otherwise)

  • Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps?

    Jump

  • Not directly. That electricity is converted to heat when it's used: All devices are space heaters, some just do other things as well. Even if not used, it would still be converted to heat by the panels. There's no getting around the conservation of energy.

    In theory, we could send that power out into space as microwaves or light, but in practice the effect would be negligible. The direct heat output of every human activity is nothing compared to the sun: All the electricity generated on earth is around 3 Terrawatts, while the sun hits us with 200 Pettawatts, 66 thousand times more.

    On the other hand, burning fuels releases gasses like CO2, which can traps sunlight and creates thousands of times more heat than the actual amount of power generated. If we stopped burning fuel, it would stop the current massive increase in global temperature, which would then slowly be reversed by things like the carbonate-silicate cycle.

  • Is there a way to search for specific words on a site?

    Jump

  • Try quoting the search term: site:example.com "2 days"

  • What do drain unclogging liquids actually do?

    Jump

  • A lot of these use strong bases, like sodium hydroxide, that will dissolve fats and proteins but leave most metals and plastics unharmed. (except aluminum)

  • Schrödinger's Peripheral

    Jump

  • Electrons are spin of 1/2, so electronics must also or else the electrons misbehave.

  • Are the drones/UAPs in New Jersey an actual problem or are they just mass hysteria?

    Jump

  • 90% mass hysteria, 10% random people flying drones for fun.

    Most videos I've seen are people misidentifying airplanes as drones, and even if they are drones... they sell those on Amazon.

  • How do we know that governments don't just have a secret hardware backdoor in all our devices?

    Jump

  • There's no way to check the whole thing, but you can totally pick a component and reverse engineer it, which is something people do quite a bit. When spying is found, it's usually a private company doing it.

    The NSA doesn't care about your search history, but advertisers do. (and the government ever did, they'll just call up google)

  • How do you deal with the inexorable march of time?

    Jump

  • It's never too early to do that thing you always wanted to do. Sure, you only get 5000 weeks at most, but that's plenty if you make good use of them.

  • [Evidence Inconclusive] Germ Blaster

    Jump

  • Pants.

  • Before and after programming

    Jump

  • Or a complier that tells me when I mispell a variable in an assignment or use the wrong type for something.

  • PhD Funding

    Jump

  • Oh finally, something I can store my yield in.

  • Oh, the humanity!

    Jump

  • No, that's a safety feature. It's like saying that behind every fire there's an architect that installed fire alarms for this very occasion. Without red LEDs, people will have no way to know the robot turned evil.

  • Where to find empty vapes? I want to harvest a battery

    Jump

  • On the ground, near bus stops, parking lots, gas stations, anywhere people use them.

  • Recent Study Seems to Indicate ADHD IS Related to a Nearly 3x Greater Risk for Dementia

    Jump

  • What is this community about again?

  • Deleted

    Lemmings, which communities are you blocking?

    Jump

  • I mostly see tankies as an authoritarian (far right?) group pretending to be far left. Or at least that's how they brand it, even though they openly advocate for government confiscation of all property.

  • Deleted

    Lemmings, which communities are you blocking?

    Jump

  • All the tankie (far "left") shit. It's all either bad faith arguments (trolling), blatant propaganda or people who never bothered to fact check the propaganda.

    They also create an inordinate amount of communities, had to use the "block instance" button a lot.

    NSFW stuff also gets annoying after a while, but that seems less prevalent. (Just had to block one instance to get 99%)

    Looking at my block list, the AI images and niece music stuff also got added at some point.
