- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
Dont forget the trail of tears.
The US has been through a lot and will likely recover, but it would be nice to avoid making the same mistakes again. How many more people have to get hurt before humanity learns?

Back in the 80s & 90s you had to configure settings like IRQ and bad sectors.

I agree, but it was free.

I got the laptop free so a sketchy no-name drive is fine for my needs.
- Comment on My new m.2 ssd 3 months ago:
Ok, sketchy no-name brand it is, then. One of these perhaps?
- Comment on My new m.2 ssd 3 months ago:

See an ear nose and throat specialist. They have have a look up your snoot and see what’s up.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 11 months ago:
In theory. It’s mounted vertically inside a slow cooker, so over ten years of heating and cooling the solder might have flowed, but I suspect its just typical mass production.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 11 months ago:
Control panel from a slow cooker.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 11 months ago:
That’d be about right. There’s insulation inbetween.
- Comment on Our new slow cooker came in three boxes. 11 months ago:
Is it just that the middle box is unmarked?
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 11 months ago:
This is a circuit board from my slow cooker. It quit heating a week ago so I opened it up and found a broken wire. That was easily fixed.
I figured while I had it apart I should look at the display board and see if I can fix the missing segments. I resoldered the one pin but nothing changed.
Unfortunately my eyes arent what they used to be so the others someone pointed out will be a challenge.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 11 months ago:
I didn’t even see those. Thanks. I got the one on the left side strip, but the LED display is still missing elements.
Unfortunately my eyes aren’t what they used to be, so i might have to take the board in to get the others.
