Maybe. Since it's titanium, it's unbreakable, it's superstrong, it's just better, you know?

Titanium is pretty soft and gay. Why not just make it out of hardened tool steel? It would make titanium its woman.

>unbreakable
>brittle as fuck
Better make a submarine or something out of titanium. Bottle opener will snap and cut your finger badly

install an older version then upgrade. even if you just pirate 7 or 8 they'll let you upgrade. win 10 is packed full of spyware and other shit tho so only a fucking moron would actually let it anywhere near their hardrive

A powered otg cable?
Get an otg cable and tap into the power leads, black and red.

>>1026080
Kek there is no OTG cable, just devices with OTG support

>>1026084
True, but either way those cables are so inexpensive it's not worth making them. For cheap cables I order one instead of two for future spares.

op here


i was thinking to use something like this (see image) but i don't know wheter the vacuum power will be enough to hold the tube (the deformation strenght due to the solvent will be a lot.

>>1025987
If the attainable vacuum is not sufficient, then your whole idea is shit and you should consider pressurizing the tube instead.
I'd expect the primary problem with that hand pump is the low pumping speed. How much it matters depends on the dimensions of that thing of yours and how air-tight it is.

>>1025986
Rather than a single tube, make a double-walled tube with a perforated inner layer. The perforations allow suction over the entire contact surface, and can be made small enough that they shouldn't dimple the silicone. Access to a CNC laser would help with that.

It was large item pickup in our neighborhood and someone was throwing away this 50" TV. The only exterior damage I noticed was the crack in the screen. It looks like someone hit it with a Wii remote. No biggie, figured I'll take it apart and look at the insides. If they're not rusted/corroded I'll just order the new screen. Found one from Sears Parts for $242 but I'll need to have the store order it and pick it up there. $250 for a 50" TV isn't bad at all so I figure I'll roll the dice.

They aren't repairable, throw it away.

>How would I go about building a musical instrument out of, say, an arduino, or maybe a console sound card?
there's tons of tutorials about how to use an arduino as a MIDI controller

arduinos don't work as synths themselves, because they have no DAC on board--you need a separate sound chip for that.
arduinos also don't work as DSP's because they are too slow. you have to add a chip to do that too.

the usual way to build a super-simple analog synth is you have a white noise source that feeds a bunch of RCL circuits, and then each key has its own RCL circuit tuned to the note it's supposed to hit,,, and then all those outputs feed into an amp. when you press that key down, the RCL circuit output for that key is connected to the amp. You can do effects on both the white noise source, and on the amp's input. another set of capacitors controls the decay of each key.

it's really simple once you get into it and it's easy to modify; the hardest part is making nice keys.

making velocity-sensitive keys is difficult, because there's really 3 switches that get pressed in order for each key. one at the top of the key press, one in the center, and one at the bottom. the time length of the two phases controls how rapid the RCL circuit is allowed to power up and how fast it decays.

You know so fucking much.

I´m retarded with this stuff, and i am a musician , it fucking sucks.

I have that one. It can emulate Dreamcast fullspeed with Reicast. Get a good bluetooth gamepad like a steelseries stratus xl or moga pro. Don't cheap out on the controller. Then play you some Rez. You get another pad and presto, portable Powerstone. N64 emulation is also perfect on it, as is DS and PSP.

>>1025313
Damn, that's awsome

>>1025308
You can make an N2A card and make it act as an android device.

Well you'll need to vent to the outside somehow else the cooling will be counteracted.

I don't think placing the exit pipe against the garage door is a bright idea, if you make it airtight on the door it won't do much.
Hot air leak from a non airtight seal will just counteract the cold.

You'll likely have to cut a hole in the wall for you exit tube end piece.

I don't think it'll work like that. Your garage door will only dissipate heat as long as it is hotter than at least one side. Airflow is the key for heating/cooling, coolers/heaters will need to put that exhaust somewhere. As a closed system, your garage will end up with hot and cold spots and eventually settle over time - not your objective.

Your best option would be to open doors during times of cooling, and close them during times of keeping that in. The next best option would be to minimize heat inside, so stop overclocking five pcs with fifteen monitors and running things needlessly 24/7. Wear less layers, be smart with clothes.

If you like your privacy, talk to your family about it. Saying that your family won't respect your wishes on privacy, or that you can't do anything about it, won't do anything to the problem you have. Adapt, conform, change.

>>1025013
Okay fair points but can I just make a long flexible tube? Like what if I create a tube to run under the door made out of plastic bags will the air actually flow through the tube to wherever my destination.

This thing, where does it come from ?
Not helping but i'm curious. Maybe someone can help you if you post the specs.

>>1024744
Get us some measurements.
You should actually be able to gut it out keep the front panel as is and then just cut the back of it for the motherboard shield.

Personally until you get one on your hands or get us some measurements your in over your head (Measurements preferably in Metters but inches will do).

CVRs are 12,3825 x 31,90875 x 19,3675 cm. So ATX wont fit.

Add salt to Vaseline to make it conductive.

>>1024593

I was thinking I could just dab the contacts with coconut oil or something but I dont know if its conductive.

The idea of adding salt might work but the salt crystals wont dissolve into the Vaseline like they would water.

I was brainstorming what to use and I was thinking maybe some kind of conductive thermal paste. I know that some types of CPU thermal paste can be conductive but most are not and I dont know what brands are.

Maybe someone knows of some kind of product that is a Conductive paste or gel ?

Clean the contacts with sandpaper, tweak the springs if necessary.
Salt anon was a troll.

Thanks. The main difference I see between what you linked and the video is that the rubber bands aren't visible in the video. I assume that would just be an issue on where the bands would be mounted?

Just buy him a real gun and paint it wood.

his name isn't pepe wtf thats it's called sadfrog you fucking retard

>>1024044
bait

Simplest tard-proof method I can think of is:

1. Buy bluetooth module with audio jack

2. Buy car audio amp and speakers

3. Buy car battery

4. Hook it all together

You'll also need to make a box for the speakers. Go research speaker enclosure design, you have to do it properly in order to get good sound quality.

If your goal is to turn a profit, and you are not a general contractor, then no. The fees, inspections and permits alone to get major work done without suffering legally will cost enough to offset your profit, unless you can do those things yourself.

If your goal is to have a place to live, and hopefully increase it's value by making it a less shitty pile while you're there, then go for it. Just be aware that a fixer upper can be a HUGE project and make sure you have a day job that gives you the required free time.

I'm thinking more of the latter. I do contract consulting right now so sometimes I'm off for weeks before I work again. To be honest I'm lazy, and like it that way. I don't see myself working my ass off on a home during my time off.

I think I'm gonna rent forever. I hate moving, but I think I would spend a lot less time moving than working on a fucking house. Sucks shit is so fucking expensive. Wish I could have a fucking affordable home to call my own instead of moving every 6 months.

>>1023904
$55k. Expensive. Jesus Fucking Christ you have no idea how good you have it. I payed $220k for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. And it was cheap for my area. Not during the bubble or anything either. How the fuck is $55k more than you can afford? Do you suck dick for nickels or something? Right now a 15 year mortgage at 3% is like $400 a month. Thats not even a car payment for most people. I've seen cell phone bills larger than that. Quick smoking and drinking all you money, save up a few grand for a down payment and get a mortgage. And don't give me any of that 'I don't borrow money' bullshit. Be a fucking adult. Someone trustworthy who the suits would lend money to. Its not fucking hard and it only bites you in the ass if you are a fuck up.
