Ps5 liquid metal failures.

Tp4 can confirm that liquid metal actually does have dry spots over time.

This happens quite frequently on hacky diy liquid metal laptops where they didn't galvanize the copper.

It also happens on desktop with the ihs + delid.  It's just a matter of time, this stuff doesn't last forever. 2 years TOP. swap it out people.

Finally got around to uploading a small PCB.  Nothing exciting, just a little breakout board for a YD-RP2040.  But it was all me from start to upload.

What diabolical gadget is melvang hacking together?

Nothing to crazy, just an MX switch non split Ergo Dox with a solenoid from one of the Ellipse Model F boards.

Making Stuff Together! / Gerber Check please??
« Last post by Melvang on Sun, 06 July 2025, 04:19:15 »
Would anyone be willing to check my gerber files before ordering?  I did get uploaded to OshPark without issues.  I didn't get any errors or warnings on the DRC, and one error on the ERC.  Which was for having a GND plane and nothing to drive it.  But considering this is getting a controller board soldered to it, I figured that was acceptable.  Assuming I will have to email the gerber files.  Feel free to message here or PM.

I like this set; I'm not sure, but it kind of highlights the weakness of the IC system.

It has around 150 interested people on KBDFans, and I suspect a multiple of that on the actual IC. Still, this gentleman cannot get a US Vendor to carry the kit.

This is one of the very few actual "Cherry" kits I have been interested in since I started in the hobby.

People are completely disconnected from reality.

People think Food comes from the grocery stores.  NO, food comes from massive use of fossil energy. 1 farmer farms on average 1400 acres. That's before accounting for all the Fertilizer, which is a hugely energy intensive process to affix nitrogen.

I’d think each of those vendors has had ample time to consider the set in the nearly 3 months since the designer’s been on geekhack, and I don’t see it discussed on discord.

If they had Martin’s tenacity we might get this….

I've been begging for 7 months now for this GB to run

So, just something on inheritance tax.

It makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things.

The person inheriting either holds on to money, or it "inflates" faster than interest (almost always does).

The problem isn't inheritance, it's what's being DONE with money in general.

The only way to HOLD ON TO MONEY, in this economy, is to GROW the destructive utilization of FINITE energy. Even with renewables, they're NOT renewable. Nothing about Steel /Aluminum/ Glass/Plastic wind turbines/300Ton Magnets are "Renewable."  They're an inefficient (cleaner running) power infrastructure, Fully Converted from Fossil Energy.  Not a single widget at the moment can be made without Diesel fuel in the pipeline.  Even before talking about all the MINING.

Where do you think asphalt /concrete comes from. All the black road comes from CO-products of OIL, all the concrete requires massive amounts of energy to make, most of which from Fossil.

Electricity is only 15-30% of the total energy economy. Everything else is Fossils. Electricity also can't power everything. It's QUALITATIVELY not capable of doing so.

There are trillions already invested in Diesel machinery, which CAN NOT be converted.  There isn't enough raw material on earth WITHIN the emission cap of 500ppm to fully electrify.

To replace 30% of European gas-fleet with electric vehicles would require more material than is known to exist, or in mined/refinery pipelines, You're looking at 100-1000 years worth of production on some materials.

That's what they capitalists don't talk about.  The truth is, there isn't enough to go around, and we're all headed for feudal peasantry.

Globalization is 100% collapsing, 40% of marine traffic is just shipping fossil energy to each other.  Imagine the price going up, and there's not enough to go around.

You couldn't buy the material you need to electrify with Infinite Money, they Won't Sell it to you. You have to mine it yourself.

America basically has to invade South America, and Canada, and Greenland.


Your children's children, will be peasants.


We're basically, down to a Miracle.  If AI doesn't work, we're ffffffffffff'd.   That's it.  last one.    Tp4 is merely saying, WE SHOULD've PANICKED, about 20 years ago, now it's almost certainly too late. .

Even if we successfully invade all these countries, We'll burn through 500ppm, and then what, flash and then NOTHING.
