First matrix

Necromancer is a class in the game, too

Wizards of the Coast has felt this on its one skin

What?

Either the article is also ai, or the editor is shit

far different size.

Size first. Power electronics don't have the same miniaturization benefits (or expectations) for laptops as they do for phones. Some factor here is that there's just a different convention for these two different types of devices.

larger bricks that have separate mains cable which plugs into the brick

There's a manufacturing benefit having one circuit where you can just change the mains cable for length or country adaptor types. High probably the wall warts have the same ability, but it isn't as obvious if the plastic parts are press fit.

Why is that so?

Some laptops could run off of 65 w, but only the very basic types. An Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop has a 280 w adaptor and it isn't close to the same size or price as a phone adaptor.

Same for phones. 65 w is pretty beefy for a phone charger. It will come down to the requirements of the device.

Generally speaking, a charger can have more amps than the phone or laptop requires and that's usually okay. The voltage is what you have to be careful about. 5v is kind of a common electronics safe voltage. Good chance all these "universals" chargers are 5v.

Again, something like an Alienware m18 R2 is going to require more than 5v.

Or is it simply cheaper to manufacture while being sold for the same price?

Good chance of that. Much easier to price fix on big warehouse type online marketplaces.

And there's an affable Miyamoto head smiling down on them like mufasa

Who cares of she

Daedalus threw his cousin off of a roof for inventing scissors, but jokes on him, lesbians invented power scissoring

Impedance, floating (lemmy.world)

What's the difference between impedance and when a pin on a microchip is floating?

I get the basics of impedance. I'm capacitive impedance it's a build up of charge. Like air in a balloon. In resistive impedance it's a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.

A floating pin isn't connected to anything reference voltage so it can fluctuate with surrounding interference or whatever.

Why do some ICs have tri state, low, high, and high impedance? Isn't high impedance the same thing as floating?

If it is high impedance that means it had to be connected to something, right? ~~Don't~~ Some kind of big capacitor or inductor in the chip?

 

Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

 

Ferrule

 

License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.

Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?

What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?

Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.

Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.

 

With Google podcast dying I'm looking for a replacement.

I'd like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I'm not interested in another pod catcher that'll just try to monetize me.

Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.

 

I don't want a dark and twisted batman that watches Catwoman change through her window.

I want a bat credit card and ice puns.

The whole plot is that robin is scared of getting bracers. The joker taunts him with those fake chittering walking teeth.

 

Working on a joystick. Seems like any protocol I use to read from peripherals is going to be bottlenecked by having just one input. My microcontroller might have multiple ADCs, but there's just one processor stepping through them. Same for spi, or i2c, or uart. There's really only ever one sensor reporting back its data at a time.

I know this might not matter for measurement resolution. Especially if you're polling at like 115k serial or something, but...

That's 8 bits per axis, and three axis. Now that's at least 34 bits. To sample each axis we're down to only 4.5k samples per second. Plus whatever other cycles the controller has to handle... even if I spent half that time doing microcontrolle cycles at like 2k we're probably still well with the best star craft apms or whatever. I'd still like to find some way to really over engineer this thing.

I read a little about tdm, but that's out of my league and I don't know if you could even have 3 simultaneously signals that way

I'm thinking a microcontroller for each axis, and a usb port for each of them. So it appears like 3 different controllers to the computer. The user would just have to map the axis from the 3 controllers into 1 in their game software. I assume the steam remapping could do this.

Is it just going to get smashed back into one thread in the computer's usb hub anyway?

Any other suggestions?

 

I get it. High heels are hot. Tighten the calves. Lift the butt. Taller. More step on me energy. They're hard to walk in. All valid points.

However, the sound of heels, its like an insecure toddler stomping down a hallway. Just imagine a normal pair of shoes doing the heel - toes slap. Clop clop clop. Cringe.

 

No shit skip, of course they shouldn't turn the ball over, or get red cards, or what the fuck ever. Passing gas in the bathroom and think it's perfume; literally shitty analysis I just heard on ESPN.

Why don't sports commentators actually break down plays and strategy?

Only one I can think of is jomboy breaks down pitches sometimes. Showed that the pitcher was releasing at the top of the throw for like 4 pitches of sliders then released like 20 degrees sidearm with another slider but because it was released differently it caught the batter and struck them out. Beautiful breakdown and I appreciated the sport and gamesmanship even more.
