Six hundred bucks, PLUS $70-$156/year??? For a shit camera? That’s insane…

Pretty!

See, in America, ‘aceta’ is pronounced ‘gives you’ and ‘minophen’ is pronounced ‘autism’ - so it’s actually quite easy to see how the conclusion was drawn.

/s, because society is actually this dumb now sometimes

No, the difference is just that spots on the hood don’t tend to grow much, especially if they’ve been covered with touch up paint. The most common parts of a car to rust is anything on the underbody, and I’d say the most common body panels to rust are right near the fenders usually because that’s where rocks get kicked up, break through the paint, and when water sits in there it rusts. Super common, just a fact of life.

As one commenter said, triangles are good. They’re very good at handling loads. Other than that, the best way to learn how to design and woodwork better is to just get out and do it! You’ll learn more as you go.

The paint should act as the sealer as long as you touch it up if it ever gets knocked off again. Little rust spots on what I assume to be the hood or front of your car are really a non-issue, corrosion-wise. But that said, are these just small spots on body panels, or are they spots near wheel wells or something where water tends to collect?

I’ve never heard anyone call it anything other than doing donuts… and I live in Minnesota lol

Only ~3% of people napping is kinda surprising to me, unless a midday sleep is counted as “leisure”

If the drive turns on, it’s fine. Any damage that’s enough to break a hard drive will make it very clear very quickly. The only thing you’d really risk would be misalignment of the platters, which again, would show itself pretty much instantaneously. Drives are shipped with their heads in a parked position and in specially-designed packaging specifically to avoid these types of instances.

Damn, guess there weren’t all that many smaller rocks hiding under the rest

I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten this exact email before

I would be reallllly careful using a heat gun - that can very easily destroy the big BGA chip on that board.

If I had to guess, the pads aren’t properly cleaned and also your iron’s tip may not be cleaned and tinned properly. Ribbon cable pads aren’t very small, so solder should melt onto them and stick quite quickly - you don’t have to heat a board long for that to happen.

Also, the metal shield you’re referring to is exactly that - an EMI shield, usually. A big piece of metal that is grounded and meant to help prevent interference. They’re typically made of steel, so solder usually does not stick directly to them! You’d have trouble soldering wires right onto an EMI shield unless it happened to be copper, which again, it likely is not.

So for padding, it sometimes depends on how your compiler works, but usually, it doesn’t pack bytes by default - that needs to manually be done. Otherwise, a uint32 followed by 2 uint16s, for example, will take up the space for 3 uint32s (in a 32-bit native compiler). If you manually specify packing (implemented differently depending on your compiler and such), then it will pack those all properly into just 2 uint32s.

I do imagine 24 bits followed by 16 more in a bit field for a 32-bit number would potentially cause problems. But it’s late here and I could certainly be wrong so take that with a grain of salt.

That also said, I typically don’t use bitfields directly in structures - it’s not usually good practice, at least where I work. I’d either do a uint8[3] or use a whole uint32 that is a union, and in the union would be your :24 followed by a reserved : 8, if that makes any sense. It’s sometimes worth it to leave a few extra bytes in there just from an organization standpoint.

Worked for me; I can see it fine

Among what everyone else is saying. Customizable color schemes! If I could browse Lemmy with a solarized dark-esque color scheme, I may actually cry…

And then you’d have the following processors be called the Intel Core 360, followed by the Intel Core 1
