I would like to have a headrest that I can actually rest my head on

#

And not an elongated backrest

#

there are headrests? lol

#

ah wait you mean the thing behind the head

nvm lmao

Installed Discord in my home directory.  Hopefully it will behave itself now.

charred pewter
#

.... gave discord admin privs ... hopefully its fine now ...

young canopy
#

No more systemwide installation of problematic programs.
If this doesn't work it's to AppImage, and then either FlatPak or Snap.

#

Discord sucks. It's scripts run horribly out of control. I also need to clean up my firefox, settings, though. I think Firefox didn't consider having so many CPU cores at it's disposal, though.

young canopy
#

On Linux, programs put under the user directory have LOWER priveledges than systemwide installs.  They are denied a HUGE list of priveledges that require the package manager to set.

Elevate Nobody's authority to root, and suddenly all those highly vulnerable programs that are isolated by running as nobody, can access everything. Fortunately, it takes root to do this, and nobody is now on a reserved UID that most systems prevent from gaining authority.

#

Discord is still randomly resetting.

#

But at least it's not randomly freezing.

gilded helm
young canopy
#

It's worse in my browser.   Earlier today it crashed firefox by making it start chewing up 100% on 8 of my 12 cores.

#

That was with full memory cycling skipping cache somehow, so it basically nearly ground my computer to a halt.

#

I need to check my browser settings, because it shouldn't be able to do that.

#

I should say reset my browser settings.  I may also have to turn off stuff like WebGL.

#

WebGL is rife with abuse. They need to install quota limiters into it.

gilded helm
#

I think discord has become a developer that's content to just let everything in their apps run out of control, as long as it can temporarily be fixed by a user restart. Which unfortunately seems to be a common trend these days.

tough owl

#

It seems Satisfactory and Kithack are the only two games that effectively use 600% of one core's processor usage without being out of control.  The games are just that efficiently written.

Coffee Stain's got their best team on Satisfactory, and Harvester and Crew at Floating Origin are geniuses.

#

yea lemme use the webapp on mobile

young canopy
#

I hate to tell you, most mobile apps just use the crappy HTML widget to load the webapp.  I'm serious.

#

They do this in a manner that boosts authority and opens vulnerabilities.

tough owl
#

Oh I'm aware

#

But discord app on Android isn't AFAIK

young canopy
#

Hence, yes, use the webapp on mobile is GOOD idea.

tough owl
#

And certainly isn't on IOS. Apple hates that stuff

gilded helm
#

I'm a big fan of browser-based versions of things on mobile, but Discord isn't one. The last time I checked F-Droid there was nothing good.

#

Which I've never had issues with the iOS app. But the Android app I have had issues with. Especially recently

gilded helm
#

Browser based YouTube is probably my heaviest usage over an app.

young canopy
#

Contrary, on iOS Apple MAKES companies do that. You literally are not allowed to add a replacement HTML or XML viewer. Discord for iOS absolutely uses the Safari webview component, it is mandated by Apple.   Even Firefox for iOS uses it.

tough owl
#

Huh

young canopy
#

However, Apple DOES make developers go through and train a persistant cache list, persistant connection list, and a certificate list. It makes the app a TINY bit faster than just using Safari.

#

Firefox made a whole big blog post about how they couldn't use their own HTML renderer or HTTP stack, and they basically had to make a retuned version of Safari with Apple's stupid plugins removed for their iOS version.

We can also thank California for some of these things too.

California is the only region of the US both large enough and willing to stand up to corporations to pass laws that many corporations will enact worldwide to prevent juristiction specific design and behavior.

# mental oriole As long you dont chmod 777 -R /

That would need to be -R.   chmod 777 on a directory just lets users create files and folders including exectuable ones there.  It has no effect on subdirectories in Posix systems (unlike Windows systems that use Directory Inheritance Default.)

CHMOD -R 777 / is hell on a machine that isn't suppose to have it.

Not only are there security concerns.   There are many special cases where the X bit must be disabled for a file to be handled properly. For instance, many programs will change how they accept a file if the X bit is enabled.

Assuming AT&t doesn't do something to drive everyone on my plan off, ask me about the pixel 11 series, which is when I can upgrade again.

young canopy
young canopy
#

Heck, AT&T tends to do stuff to drive off customers, just because.   I remember when they refused to let me upgrade my phone because I had no credit, despite paying my bill on time for 5 years. Well, that was goodbye.   I have heard of countless other garbage actions by them since then, each worse than the last.

gilded helm
#

The no credit thing is awful. The amount of places that check your credit score in the USA is nuts. And it punishes responsible people with a 'thin file.'

tough owl
#

I love hard credit pulls too 😍

young canopy
#

Mind while I hate on Capital one a bit.

#

I wish we could all switch to credit unions and this exploitive credit system would end. However, Congress won't even let any credit unions let anyone apply to them. They must impose some sort of restriction as to enrollment to even exist.

#

This is like Mutual-Run HMOs health plans are illegal.  God forbid if people gather together and do things without the help of Wall Street.

#

I understand making the Mutual-Run ones get a catestrophic coverage from a "too big to fail" firm to cover them in case everyone gets cancer or something.

gilded helm
#

I hate to admit it, but I'm part of the problem by supporting the existing system. I'm all about that r/churning.

young canopy
#

But otherwise, how can it be legal to mandate that someone scrapes profit off of every little thing in your life.   I know, I must be a big commie for thinking this.

#

Literally, both the solutions I proposed are An-Com/Lib-Com sollutions (as opposed to Auth-Com of Stalin and Mao.)

#

But, enough about economics before it gets partisan-political.   After all, economics is well and good, but it can get political.

#

Once you break into government solutions and who should implement them and how, THAT is political teritory, BTW.

gilded helm
#

There was some momentum for an overhaul after Equifax, but it went nowhere.

young canopy
#

Honestly, the fair credit reporting act has made DRASTIC improvements if you know how to handle it.   Because of it, we cleaned up a mess on my wife's credit report due to identity theft.

#

Prior to the fair credit reporting act we would have had to take each of the credit reporters to court individually, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, all because the military released an uncensored list of the social security numbers, names and dates of births of people who were born at military hospitals to a FOIA request.

YES, that happened.  There are countless clearly public information things censored, but they went and gave out personally identifiable information to every child of a military family for a period of a few decades.

gilded helm
#

That's true. I got a bunch of bogus addresses removed from my credit reports recently. But it was also so easy that I can see how criminals could take advantage of inactive persons.

The thing is, TSR is bound to work better since it's a UE technology, developed by Epic Games, so it has a potential to be better optimized in this game. In my case FSR in 1.0 version gives the best result in terms of performance but the problem with FSR in general, developers implement it really bad(probably due to bad guidelines of AMD) and this has been improved so much with FSR 3.1

In conclusion TSR : Superior graphical quality with less performance
FSR 3 Okayish graphic quality with improved upscaler
FSR 3.1 Here things start to change, FSR 3.1 Offers so many quality changes that it makes the the API much easier to integrate into game engines, less artifacting, noising and top of all the most important part, Frame Gen technology of FSR 3.1 is compatible to work with any type of upscaler, as long fsr 3.1 is implemented into game engine which means that Frame gen of FSR 3.1 can also work with TSR

Nvidia, nvidia is nvidia, they are doing their own thing.

#

that's why i got really confused to see FSR 3 naming in Satisfactory plugin dlls and logs

#

but i couldn't find if its 3.0 or 3.1 yet

The improvement of hashing algorithms and change of file detection has made Windows Defender far better over time and made it the lightest personal Anti-Virus solution.

For Medium Business or larger, including small ISP, I would recommend Cisco AntiVirus, BTW.

ClamAV is good for scanning individual suspect files, something Windows Defender is deficient at.

So you either get sensors that already are using one of the supported bus formats, or you get suitable converters that do the ADC conversion and output via suitable bus.

Lmao, this is how a local post here deals with packages that missed the deadline

image.png
#

I have no problems with shipping delays due to labor shortage but local post lying to amazon that my address is incorrect or unknown is just disgrace evildoggo

#

And now I am probably going to have problems with Amazon refund since they will claim package couldn't be delivered due to incorrect address which is not the case....

#

Also, amazon said I should contact the post. I have been waiting for more than 40 minutes on the line and I couldn't get anyone not to mention they reply to emails after 30 days on average....

jagged snow
#

Yikes, that's a fun scenario

visual tree
#

Guess I'll have to visit a post office tomorrow in order to check if the address is actually "incorrect" or they just faked the status in order to increase performance metrics and deceive Amazon as their delivery partner

#

I have a solid proof for Amazon that I am telling the truth though so I can avoid potential refund complications in case package never arrives

#

I ordered 3 products under the same order which were split into 2 packages, one package has arrived and the other hasn't because of "incorrect address". If the address was indeed wrong then none of the 2 packages would arrive

#

Unless I am going to speak to Amazon AI assistant with inferior logic lol

languid gulch
visual tree
#

The only problem is that I ordered the exact same product last month and Amazon lost the package (the package wasn't handed to the carrier yet). I got refunded and I ordered the same product again but hope the carrier won't lose or steal the package this time since I will have to ask for a refund again and Amazon might mark me as a dishonest customer who is trying to commit scam

rustic panther
wanton orchid
#

from the same fucking order

visual tree
#

What's even funnier is that I forwarded the package to a nearby locker as soon as I received a tracking link so the unknown address is simply impossible

#

Unless the carrier couldn't find their own locker lol jacelul

#

And that was a big mistake according to an online post from a former post employee since all packages that can't be delivered are automatically forwarded to a locker

#

So you have to wait until there is enough space in a locker for your package

#

Should have forwarded the package to a post office in the first place but I can still do it

wanton orchid
#

for me it would just not let me push it to a "locker"

#

and instead give it back to sender in an other country

#

because why not

Things are going to turn really ugly here since there is only a single universal service provider for the postal services and it's already falling apart

visual tree
#

@wanton orchid I just tricked the post and changed amazon shipping status lmao jacelul

#

Redirected the package for the second time to a post office and now the amazon tracking status has changed from unknown address to "on the way but running late"

#

The carrier is going to be so pissed because amazon now knows the package is late and they are going to penalize their delivery partner hehe

#

That's what you get for faking tracking status and deceiving amazon!

wanton orchid
#

for me it was already obvious as they delivered the first package of the order fine

#

I was talking with the seller

#

which then refunded me
now they will probably ask the service why did they felt like giving a world tour to their item

visual tree
#

Yeah, they are going to have a problem trying to justify that lol

#

Feels good though when the delivery company tries to screw the customer and you screw them back

#

If you can't deliver package on time, simply forward it to a locker or post office. Don't fake the status and claim an address is unknown since the customer is then going to have problems with amazon refund later

#

Since amazon can refuse the refund and claim they couldn't deliver the package because the address is "wrong" and it's your responsibility

#

The only problem is if the delivery company fakes the status again....

night girder
#

I know nobody is going to like this. And I wouldn't do it. But you can always seek legal advice.

#

It's costly, but if you feel you are really in the right and you lost a lot of money because of lost packages, and Amazon is being stuborn/difficult.

#

But I have a feeling Amazon has a pretty good legal defense in their TOS. Something like "We own your soul."

Since this also gives the power to amazon and they can refuse refund under the excuse you added a wrong address and everything is your responsibility

A refund or two won't hurt you but if the delivery company keeps doing this and also loses the package, you will keep asking for more and more refunds

Which means amazon will flag you as a dishonest customer and close your account

As it uses only about 50W in gaming and 80W in all-core max.
100W in LinPack.

#

GPU selection between Nvidia and AMD would be about if you care more about raster performance for price, or RT-performance and Nvidia software addons, or if you absolutely need CUDA etc.

twin dew
#

And the delta between average and hotspot doesn't change between air and water.

#

Currently at 60C on 7800X3D while playing satisfactory with NH-U14S.

#

With the cooler fan at about 900 RPM.

#

For hotspot.

#

IOD is 50C stable.

#

L3 is 43C stable.

#

CPU cores are between 40 and 60C most of the time with very short spikes to 70C.

#

Because of the thich IHS.

#

And where that matters is higher powers.

#

Not even top of the line.

#

But completely suitable for CPU with less than 100W real max power.

#

The things that matters are heat transfer from the IHS to the cooling fins, and then the cooling fin area.
The water is medium for the first, and what actually matters is the second.

#

That with water cooling, you can have bigger cooling fin surface area.
And that water mass acts as a damper, making the temperature swing less.
IF the IHS wasn't the limiting factor for that on AM5.

#

And that thick IHS is because AMD needed that for physical stability, to not get bent CPUs like Intel.
And then added less than 1mm extra to get to AM4 height.

#

And that last 0.6-0.8mm didn't affect temperatures anymore.

#

It isn't the water, it is the fin area that water cooling allows.
In the cases where that extra area is needed, because of the high thermal total load.

#

I had custom water cooling loop before, to cool GPU silently in far back when the GPU stock coolers were noisy even at idle.
And to cool HD stack when they were inside noise dampening extra case.

#

Bought it long time ago.
Not first computer I'm using it on.

#

So Peerless Assassin 120 didn't even exist back then.

#

And I don't think that is AM5?
Or is that at idle?

#

And getting low idle isn't hard.
For that a 40C would normally have been weird.
But that now contains offset and isn't real temp.
For the base number, that CCD temp is correct, the CPU and CPU Diode temps contain offset to mimic AM4 CPUs for fan control.

wanton orchid
#

I dont get your point Cat
ofcourse AIO works for these cpu
good Air coolers too
thick IHS combined with good heat pipes give enough thermal mass for it not to swing too much on cpu with tdp below 120W

#

so you can run low rpm fan and have it stable enough still

And outputs 9, 10, 11 or 12 bit data.

#

And is configurable over that same bus

soft bloom
#

oh wait...

#

ok

#

i need to figure out how to connect a bunch of them to Pi

twin dew
#

pinout.xyz/pinout/1_wire

Just connect all the 1-wire pins together and to the pi pin, give each sensor power and ground, and connect the same ground to Pi ground too.

twin dew
twin dew
#

If wired to same bus.

soft bloom
#

i get its time for me to pic a time and manual (text/video) to dive into that world since at-glance learning is not working here

twin dew
#

Basically the various digital busses are way to connect multiple to same host more easily.
SPI is very simple bit banging type thing with separate selector wires for each device.
I2C is advanced pretty high-speed one with device addresses etc.
1-Wire slow speed I2C like thing over just one communication wire, instead of wire pair.

soft bloom
#

i get questions like "how the heck will Pi understand which sensor is recording to where?"

#

tbh Claude 3 made it seem too simple, haha. glad there are somewhat high level tools

#

oh wait, that was gpt4mini

#

Now to understand how that apraoch compares to using ADC

soft bloom
#

if gpt didn't lie, i need just a bunch of sensors (they are really chip), a resistor, and wires.

twin dew
#

Just said about options.

#

That integrated sensors aren't ONLY option, and any analog sensor works with suitable converter.

#

And just posted one page with one product and information as example.

twin dew
soft bloom
#

(wait, they all connected in parallel?)

#

well, dc power is for sure in parallel

twin dew
#

Yes, that is point of such more complex buses with addresses.
That you just connect all the same type wires together.

soft bloom
#

i need to know how that works 🙂

#

i mean. curiosity

twin dew
#

If string or tree is better depends on the exact bus.

#

The host (Pi in this case) is the master.
Traffic happens with that resistor pulling the bus high by default and all the devices pulling it down to ground to do signal states when "talking".
The host sends request to specific device, which then answers.
And if two devices try to talk at same time, they notice that everything wasn't right because bus was still low when they weren't pulling it down.
Causing in I2C:s case the device with lowest address to have priority.

#

As each transmission starts with the senders address.

#

So high state is default via that resistor pullup, and means one of 1 or 0.
And then each device when trying to send pulls that common signal line down to ground, so that the voltage drops to near 0V for all devices, meaning the other one of 1 or 0.

#

And then there is some mechanism to make sure only one device tries to transmit at once.

soft bloom
#

yes... and i get that master can broadcast that it will read data, send adress, and device will respond

#

but reset... happens to all. so kinda interesting how that gets resolved

#

i took L by trying to make diagram for wires in draw.io 😦

#

but i did it anyway

twin dew
soft bloom
#

Honestly, don't know if that will be more practical in terms of topology* (yeah, that's real stretch... Geometry? Spatial?)

#

Probably will need 2m wires for them anyway.
To have like a bunch of packages, sitting on a table, measured

twin dew
# soft bloom All 3 pins?

Power and ground almost never matter in how they are wired in topology.
And for this type of simple single-wire bus, daisy chain can be better than tree.

#

Many need to specifically be daisy chains, with short limits on how long the wires from the main run can be to individual units.

soft bloom
#

I meant like from the point of "i have a bunch of wires. Do i want them to be a star or a line(/loop?)"
There may be some more flexibility in a line, but in context of what i see, star seems more familiar)

Video ID guy asked me about my 3D printer I had running in the background. I have converted another one

#

Remember that you can often mix and match if the signal integrity isn't on the limit.

#

But basic point was, wire as is best for the final installation.

#

Where in some cases daisy chaining some of the sensors can help.

maiden coyote
#

SPI also chains miso mosi together with a seperate cs (chip select) being pulled high to tell an ic when it's time to talk..

#

I don't know shit about i2c

#

I'm assuming you want an analog reading from the pi and not just a on or off which does put you more in arduino or esp32 land

Temperature sensors in base form output some analog change.
Might work by the sensors resistance changing with temperature.
Or it outputting voltage natively etc.

Just soldering wires together is a thing?

soft bloom
# twin dew Solder?

still, i can't imagine how that will look like when a bunch (i plan of 6) sensors connected in either star or chain configuration.
if that's star - i need like some hub wire to connect al sensors?
if that's a chain - how do i connect each sensor to 2 wires? (rn i can only imagine soldering and insulating... wait,no. i can't insulate each wire individually with hot tub)

twin dew
#

Over the solder joins.
But there are also levered connection blocks etc.

soft bloom
#

shrink wrap, yes. oh, right . i can place tubes on sensor's pins

soft bloom
twin dew
#

Either the real deal or knockoffs.

#

That Wago is the original manufacturer.

soft bloom
#

i just realised that buying sensor in metal enclosure with 1m cable is cheaper than 1m of 3-wire cable

twin dew
#

Those lever thingies come up in at least up to 5 connections wide.
And depending on wire sizes you can put multiple into same slot.

soft bloom
#

economy is trange thing.
now breadboard is way cheaper than figuring out what kind of connection block will be good for those thing wires

wanton orchid
#

each slot is isolted on those I seen

#

putting the 3 house wires in one block

#

I like these thing much much more than the other leverless shit things

#

it's small, it's reliable, and it's not breaking when reopned/closed

#

easy to reuse

twin dew
#

Meant for single house AC wire per slot.

#

One with suitable number of slots per phase or like.

#

Because the base type is 0.5mm^2 to 2.5mm^2 IIRC, and then there is another that is 1.5mm^2 to 4mm^2.
So in normal house wiring, only single wire can fit per slot.

#

With that type of one side connecting "teeth", you can only get reliable connection to single wire, or two if twisted together enough.

#

Even with three twisted together, one might be just pullable out.

#

But when used right, they are more reliable than soldering etc.

#

As they can take much more vibration etc. and the connection is forceful enough to be air-tight in the contact surface.

#

Not water-tight, but without electrolytic corrosion, it doesn't oxidize in the actual connection spot.

#

But that kind of water sourced corrosion can start from next to and then spread to the actual connection surface.

Back to Wago marketing material for that 221 series:

#

Problem with wire nuts is that even when done properly, the conductor surfaces will oxidize with time and cause resistance to go up.
Because there isn't enough force to make the contact surfaces air-tight.

quiet patio
#

I never thought about that

twin dew
#

So not issue right away, but can come issue in 30-40 years IIRC.

quiet patio
#

Ah

#

That's what I was about to ask

#

I'm sure the effect is more noticable on longer lengths of cable, considering all conductors do have a resistance even if it is very slight

twin dew
#

So basically only some kind of spring loaded contacts or crimps are used in anything needed long term reliability in vibration etc.
Static things can still use other techniques, but wirenut-type things and screw connectors have issues long-term.

wanton orchid
#

I think wirenuts also work better with bigger stiffer cables
they do not bend as much when you screw them in
= more pressure
but also means bad surface

quiet patio
#

I can see how that would create issues with cold creep, especially with softer conductors

wanton orchid
#

any soft conductor will bend overtime also

#

even if ignoring all other issues

quiet patio
#

This is true

wanton orchid
#

I think that's the main problem with basic screw systems

#

and then come ease of maintenance
for which wagos are great

twin dew
#

For large conductors, usually crimped on connector that then is bolted.
Up to that 6mm^2 (AWG 10 equivalent) those various spring contact blocks.

#

Often just ones where you just push the solid strand conductor in and you then need tool to remove.

#

And use crimped on sleeve for stranded conductors.

#

So basically all wall outlets, circuit breakers etc. now come with those push-in spring contacts.

#

In Finland.

quiet patio
#

Are the push in spring contacts better than a screw terminal?

twin dew
#

Much.
As the screw terminal
1: damages the wire
2: doesn't adjust to wire deformation over time
3: can back out over time from temperature changes etc.

#

That first can lead to the wire breaking next to the screw, and losing contact.

quiet patio
#

Most of the older electrician guys I know here in the states seem to have a disdain for those push in contact outlets

twin dew
#

Because in US you seem to have had horrible ones that didn't work properly.
And might have tried to use stranded wires without the crimped sleeves.

#

When the tech first came out, and it then left bad name.

quiet patio
#

I can see how that would give them a bad reputation

#

I suppose I wouldn't want to trust a "new and improved" product if it was a letdown after it promised so much

#

I would probably still be hesitant even if they did fix the issue

twin dew
#

Needs right kind of material for the spring parts, as otherwise they lose their shape and that spring force over time.

#

And those right kinds of copper/brass alloys are more expensive.

#

And might not have been even created at back then.

does anyone here know if u can get replacment DACs from logitech

#

cause mine doesn't get recognized by windows anymore no matter what i do

edgy hazel
#

Depending. Do you still have warranty?

minor pawn
#

We should but i can't find the papers

#

and the logitech one expired 3 days ago

edgy hazel

#

i'm shocked that a product barely outside warranty felt like dropping dead

edgy hazel
#

That's what you get buying a DAC from the Broken-Headset-Company

minor pawn
#

it also sucks they don't sell them sepretally

minor pawn
edgy hazel
#

I've never seen a Logitech headset that wasn't broken

minor pawn
#

can i just buy a third party one and have it work the same?

edgy hazel
#

They deliver those with a pre-broken headstrap and flaking earcups

minor pawn
#

what headset do you recommend?

edgy hazel
#

None

#

Headphones + external mic

#

Headsets are 99% of the time trash

minor pawn
#

but i don't really have the money to buy headphones + mic

edgy hazel
#

You spend more on a quality headset that isn't shit.

minor pawn
#

ow

#

the problem is however i don't have enough space for an external mic

edgy hazel
#

This and some good headphones (dt770s are on sale for 100$ sometimes) and you'll have a much better experience than the same money would ever buy you with a headset

minor pawn
#

btw i kinda also just found out my headphone jack isn't picking up anything i put in it

edgy hazel
#

Maybe just throw out everything and start new at this point

minor pawn
#

its just a new laptop

i found the problem but idk how to fix it

it says not connected in the sound manager thing

i'm stupido!
got breadboard where only 5 sockets are connected at a time 😦

Anyone here have any experience with the 5950x? idk if im out of my mind, but my aio keeps reving when im in satisfactory ||(i know this is oftopic just using satisfactory as an example to where my cooler revs)|| so i checked my temps, im reaching 82-85C while playing, and idling now at 55c

is this normal?

twin dew
#

Probably broken AIO that has lost too much fluid for your radiator orientation.

#

Or is clogged internally from gunk buildup.

#

The radiator exit hose needs to be at lowest point of the radiator, not highest.

#

Most people installing AIO into front will put it wrong way around with hoses at top.

soft bloom
#

did i fuck up?
was trying to make bit longer exposed part of the ground wire on one of the sensors - in attempt to remove more insulation i cut some away
and with next attempt i exposed copper thin wires... instead of solid grey wire...

#

and now that wires are of different length - they natureally keep ground away from socket

twin dew
#

Just soldered end originally.

#

So no, just oxidation protection with solder.

#

And to make the end more solid.

vivid forge
twin dew
#

Or just bad pasting after that cleanup?

#

But I was talking about internal clogging.

#

Not the radiator getting clogged with dust.

vivid forge
#

ah, that might be, it is 4 years after all

twin dew
#

Many of the AIOs have had issues with the fluid reacting with the other internal surfaces and clogging the microfins in CPU block.

#

Which is why expected lifespan for AIO has only been 2-3 years.

vivid forge
#

im actually considering buying a new cooler, but not an aio

twin dew
#

Getting better with quality new ones.

vivid forge
twin dew
#

If the CPU can be cooled with air cooler, yes.

#

AIO is about getting better performance than can be gotten in air cooler size.
But come with those caveats about longevity.
And then custom loops for hobby work.

soft bloom
#

i connected 2 rows with paper clip cuse... why not? 🙂

twin dew
#

Not really.
As that solder is bad idea in general.

soft bloom
#

you say its better to, fo example wire-nut the copper wires?

twin dew
#

Never even try wirenut wires that have solder on them.

#

Mainly for push-in connectors in place of crimp sleeve, and even then a bad idea.

soft bloom
#

Well, they look like this, as arrived.
But that grey wire is short and there are thin copper wires next.

twin dew
#

Yes, I know.
Many makers pre-solder the ends.
Or tin them, but not rest of the wires.

soft bloom
twin dew
#

So solder, just remove those from all of them if there will be any kind of vibration once installed.

#

Otherwise they will break where the solder ends.

soft bloom
#

So you say there's solder inside and i should remove these ends and when using wire nuts connect copper ends?
Or find lever thingies

twin dew
#

Yes.

#

That silver surface is solder

soft bloom
twin dew
#

And it ends few mm. inside the insulation.

soft bloom
twin dew
#

How far depends on how adding the solder was done.

#

It can also be tinning, but in that case the color is little different and it isn't "lumpy" like in those.

#

And usually then the whole cable is tinned before insulation is added.

#

Basically only case where that preapplied solder is useful is when you solder solder the wires to another wire or PCB.
And even then you need to be using same type of solder or you get issues.

soft bloom
#

oconsidering that i bought six sensors with 1m cables, i might also need to extend theor cables. so connecting it all for longer use will be fuuuun. for now just nede to test measurement with breadboard.
but noted that that's solder and i probbly will need to remove it

edgy hazel

#ask-baldur

minor pawn
#

okay so the dongle now works sometimes but the second i touch the part where you plug the headset in it breaks

soft bloom
#

yes

#

i made the setup, but sensors not detected...

#

and Haiku tells me it's not OK to have just 3V on data line at rest

#

yep, 1-wire is enabled in the config and modules

twin dew
#

Try with just one sensor first?

#

And the resistor is in place?

#

And the data line is expected to idle high.

#

As that resistor is pulling it up, and only when there is traffic does one of the devices at a time communicate by pulling it low.

#

And those low periods are so short that you need oscilloscope to see them.

jagged snow
#

Also referred to as active low

#

Just in case you need to do more research

twin dew
#

Doing it that way prevents damage if multiple devices by accident try to communicate at same time.

#

The passive pull-up and active pull-down.

twin dew
#

With just one sensor connected, easier to do and test first.

#

Seems the overlays and drivers do that automatically.

#

And so also activate the bus clock, in which case the voltage woulnd't be static 3.3V while unused.

#

As the driver is constantly using the bus.

soft bloom
soft bloom
#

tl;dr
i should have used GPIO 4 from the beginning

#

pinout.xyz/pinout/1_wire

twin dew
#

Yeah, like I pasted long time ago.

soft bloom
twin dew
#

First Pi specific, but not whitelisted domain, then general about the 1-wire.

soft bloom
#

so, it works.
i marked sensor's wires with their hashes
now to prettify script that logs it

#

i wanted to use other pin because that makes wires stand together.
changing pin to default fixed voltage

twin dew
#

Yeah, you would need to specify the pin for the driver and overlay if you want to change it.
And might not be possible to all of them.

#

Not sure if that 1-wire is hardware accelerated or not on that default pin.

soft bloom
#

the code in Python is fairly simple though

twin dew
#

Mainly it included the overlay and driver steps and how to check those etc.

soft bloom
#

exactly

twin dew
#

And not only the how to do it low level yourself.

soft bloom
#

should i be concerned?

image.png
#

also, readme on github is quite helpful

soft bloom
twin dew
#

As for SPI and I2C there are HW accelerators, and only on specific pins.

#

That the overlay allows for redefining the pin suggests that it is either pure software, or hardware accelerated on any pin.

sage pier
#

should I use pgs?

soft bloom
#

oh, the lib also features async interface. that's lovely

twin dew
#

And even the overlay documentation doesn't specify any limitations on the GPIO used.
So you can just change it by giving the extra gpiopin=# parameter to the overlay in boot config.

soft bloom
twin dew
#

So almost certainly just bit-banging, which is pretty easy to do at bus with max speed of just 16.3 kbit/s, and not expected to have stable clock signal frequency.

#

No, there are some timing requirements.
The slave will read the signal state about 30 us after the signal line first falls down.
With officially 1 being 1-15us low pulse and 0 being 60us long low pulse.

#

So 0.1MHz bit banging would work fine.

edgy hazel
#

hihi

twin dew
#

With 1MHz bit banging to get that 1us resolution.

does water actually stay below air temperature or?..
i have consistent temperature difference for when probe is inside just water or dry outside nearby

twin dew
#

Might be from the probe self-heating.

#

On such active temperature sensor.

jagged snow
twin dew
#

Any such sensor needs to be calibrated in the final installation location with more accurate temporary reference to get somewhat accurate results.

#

At multiple temperatures if possible, as there can be both absolute offset and slope difference on per unit basis.

#

If accurate absolute result is needed and not just monitoring changes.

If i don't control environment inwhich temperature measurement happens (like, no AC), what can i do to collect enough data to mitigate possible changes?
So far i figured it makes sense to have sensor in room to measure ambient, and have "control" liquid that was stored in sme environment as PCMs i want to test. (Yes, multiple, since i played with recipe a bit)

Jellyfin allows for tuners like the HDhomerun, but I've got no idea how the API for that function works

soft bloom
#

looks like i'm going to need to plot derivates to udnerstand when/if there's real change

#

and i need to think of better setup for setting 0 C since just mixing water around in narrow bowl with ice bottle is enough to show that sensors didn't have actaully same temperature to measure

#

Also, either chatgpt is dumb at tasks of that complexity (more on that later; overall it was quite helpful and reliable), or Pandas doesn't have obvious ™️ functionality, or i tried to achieve rolling average of time series in a strange way. either, got a chunky function that just turns measurements from multiple sensors at somewhat random time into a smoothed values at concrete time points

Language models like ChatGPT just work on probabilities that specific word follows another word in specific context.

That's all fine. But still, it has "knowledge" or answers.

#

How can something answer ... without having knowledge?

soft bloom

and if model seen how to use .agg() a 100 times, there's high chance it will "know" how you want to use it.
and if it didn't have training data covering your case, you probably will get speculation or "hallucination"

But that isn't based on knowing what the .agg() does, just that it was often used in the context, if the context is detected right.

You apply the same principles to AI than to a google search querry.

Yes and no. there needs to be balance.
Because its rare to see LLM admit it doesn't "know" something.
And outside of scouting for new information, having conversation, i prefer reading source.
Even though everyone is so obsessed with morality of LLMs...

night girder

Google: here is thousands and thousands of links. Have fun!

#

AI: I aggregated "all" those links, and this is the summary.

#

But you do you. I just don't see the harm in LLM just plain answering. Else where back to old school search engines.

With no idea how the "AI" aggregated those sources if there were links that included valid data and absolute crap.

I am sure it will get better.

Yes, as an AI language model, I have knowledge that has been acquired through my training on a large amount of text data. However, as an AI, my knowledge is limited to what I have been trained on, and I do not have the same depth of understanding or consciousness that a human would have.

I like to ask AI questions about AI 😂
