Keyboards / Re: Spray Lubing switches - A guide
« Last post by guily6669 on Thu, 03 July 2025, 20:23:59 »Tried Spray lube once... Wont do it again.......*Mine was worse, the switches I lubed after maybe months magically the keycaps kept breaking, some I glued, others I removed from my old keyboard, but I didn't bother cleaning well the top plastic of the switches anyway.

Other Geeky Stuff / Re: PC Sound Cards in 2025
« Last post by guily6669 on Thu, 03 July 2025, 20:06:34 »Seriously, no idea...
I do have Creative Sound Blaster AE-5, they really improved a lot sound quality, but no more 7.1 on internal ones at the moment on the best ones and the software is just ruined that the sound card lost all it's power, now high power 5.1 sounds more like low power 2.1
Have to use 2 other apps just to bring the good old CMSS back which is annoying, since they lack a good upmix now.

Making Stuff Together! / Re: Stupid quick PCB design
« Last post by Melvang on Thu, 03 July 2025, 19:31:54 »alright. on the pictures i don't see too much, but from the description i assume, the pcb houses a usb-connector, a power converter and the mcu, whose gpios are just routed to the pins?
i could do this, but it will be just functional, not pretty or sure to work in any environment (i could not guarantee for esd safety, or emi specifications..)
I think I am going to give KiCad another go. It has been probably at least 10 years since I tried KiCad. Realisitically, I should just have to build a footprint for the through holes on the RP2040, then bring that into a pcb, set my drills for the breakout pads, and go from there, correct? And I really don't need a schematic, I would think.

The Postdam Institute's 9 planetary boundaries, Humans have crossed 7.
A single crossing would already represent an existential risk.
On a personal note. Tp4 is surrounded by the Uber Rich. What does that mean.. Best technical description by the Tp4, If your house has 20x AC heat exchangers, that's what rich is. 4 and below, you're upper middle class.
Point is, there is so much momentum in the system, the average Uber-Riche is so metabolically crippled, alcohol+cholesterol, their brain is plainly not working right. They are not bad people, Tp4 has met exactly 1 person out of 100 which could be classified as "Bad." But they're all stuck in the doom loop.
There is <1% probability in the powerful/wealthy circle to care or even NOTICE that the world is falling apart.
Tp4 witnessed most recently for the first time, someone spending the maximum $500,000 on a single credit card swipe. Paying the rest of the difference in gold bars. Because heck, gotta have it today.

Sociopathy is an element of personality that everyone has. To frame the political argument as sociopathy = bad, is an overwhelming over simplification, and explains nothing.
