I can’t tell you what’s wrong, but these shorted pads aren’t it. They are added to the traces for extra thermal mass, a bit more or less solder doesn’t hurt. If you look closely, all of the shorted pads are on the same trace of the PCB, so they would be connected anyways.
A guy walk into a bar and pulls out a scale model of a grand piano, as well as a wooden puppet. The puppet immediately animates and starts playing the piano.
After a perfect performance of Mozart’s piano sonata No.11, the puppet gets up, bows to the audience and falls lifeless to the ground. Everyone is astounded.
The bartender asks the guy: “That was great! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get a puppet like this?”
The guy hands him an old golden oil lamp. “You see, I found this lamp. If you rub it and say what you want, a genie pops out and grants the wish. Give it a try, if you want!”
The bartender is sceptical, but tries anyway. “I wish for a million bucks!” Immediately the bar is filled with a giant flock of ducks. On the tables, on the bar, on the ground, ducks are everywhere.
“What the fuck?! That’s not what I asked for!”
The guy chuckles. “O yeah, the genie is hard of hearing. Did you really think I asked for an eight inch pianist?”
Windows has that button, but only if you right-click the drive in file explorer and select “eject”. The dialog is very similar, but has the option to continue anyways. That option doesn’t appear when ejecting from the taskbar.
Which is weird, because it means that Microsoft went out of their way to make two different, almost identical dialogs. And they made the better one harder to reach.
My university used Artemis to do basically what you’re describing. Files are uploaded via git. But it seems like selfhosting would be a lot of work.
Hard to tell, a couple of the other components also look dirty. Are they just dusty, or is there some residue from a blown-up part?
What device are we looking at? I’m guessing some kind of power supply? What is the failure mode You’re trying to fix?
He proposes the cloud be owned by communities, so in a way by everyone. That’s not the same everything being owned by private companies.
I mean, I don’t like AI. But leaving in debugging messages can easily happen without AI, too.
I think most of us are pretty damn average.
That’s true. Like, by definition.
This seems to be an engineering sample CPU. Since these are pre-production, that could mean it’s basically a fully functional CPU. It could also have serious issues.

ISO 8601 was published on 06/05/88 and most recently amended on 12/01/04.
From the IRF1404Z data sheet:
Calculated continuous current based on maximum allowable junction temperature. Bond wire current limit is 120A. Note that current limitations arising from heating of the device leads may occur with some lead mounting arrangements.
You need to design the PCB so that the heat from the legs can be properly dissipated, or they won’t live up to the rated current.
Also, traces on a PCB are much thinner than those legs. A trace with the same cross-sectional area would be impractically wide.

Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of.
It doesn’t ask you to subtract the numbers, but to calculate the distance (i.e. the absolute value of the subtraction). So depending on which numbers are paired up, the sign of the pair can be different.
If you can wait a couple weeks, AliExpress is going to be the cheapest.
eBay may be a bit more expensive, but it’s often my go-to because you can find everything and usually there are options with short shipping times.
For not too obscure parts, I would look at Reichelt, their prices are surprisingly low (especially if you bundle your orders to save on shipping costs).
IIRC, this is actually done at some point in the books.
I’m guessing it’s about documenting the assembly of safety-critical components. If some part of, let’s say an airplane fails because a bolt comes loose, the manufacturer wants to have a paper trail attached to it to prove that this specific bolt was indeed torqued to the correct spec. Connecting the wrench to the network could make this documentation much easier.
It’s called HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. Your phone is taking three pictures: one at a medium exposure, one at a bit higher exposure and one at a bit lower exposure.
The higher exposed picture will have a blown-out sky, but more detail in the darker area, while the lower-exposed one will have a correctly exposed sky with the darker areas underexposed.
These pictures are then combined by taking the correctly exposed areas of each picture, i.e. the sky from the low-exposure picture and the shadows from the high-exposure one, giving you a single picture without over- or underexposed areas.
I don’t know about OpenCamera, but you should be able to select the size of the exposure bracket, meaning how much higher or lower the different pictures are exposed.
Maybe, but the plastic of the transformer would show signs of melting/burning way before the solder on the other side would be melting.
