ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Which DE are you using?

Only ever recorded instance of hat-wearing Linux user saying “I’m in” and not meaning an access acquisition

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Also, you never considered pronouncing gif as “jiff” because your native language (German), where you heard it first, has no soft G.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Phew. I thought this could lead to Unicode in URLs, which can get nasty.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

That was Lemmy’s “r/place” at canvas.toast.ooo

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Which one?

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    This includes VRAM, too…

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    I got a 2TB USB drive for just $5. You need to know where to shop!

    Actually...it was a clearance at a local Vietnamese shop, and it said “2TB (64GB extension)” so I knew what to expect. I scooped it up to prevent a less tech-savvy person from using it and losing 1936 GB of their data. I found that the FirstChip flash controller can be reprogrammed using the software MPtools, which I used to find bad blocks and limit the drive to a virtual 30GiB capacity, which means the drive should be as good as the upper 50 % of blocks. A one-pass R/W test then finished 100% correct but I still only use it for non-critical files like movies.

    Instructions nuclear

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    Yes, I think some treatments cannot be done without the scientist knowing.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    Oh yes, good old g/floz

    Someone probably incorrectly wrote Réaumur degrees. (Copy of Celsius but ×0.8 for some reason; somehow stays kinda relevant in 1770-1920 Europe)

    He tried to breed bees but failed, see one of my other comments. Also, he was a devout Christian priest and his findings were challenging his faith.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    Well, his research was very sound by modern standards, mostly adhering to the scientific method. It would be very untimely 200 or more years prior. His paper (even in its original form!) is understandable by any modern intelligent person who can read German cursive.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    No but it would be funny if a Christian Minecraft player had questions about his faith after pushing to implement a flower and bee breeding mechanic.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    Yes but he likely forged some data. Statistics show a high probability of his pea counts with a clear 3:1 phenome split being too good to be true.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    He was a monk, after all. Breeding mammals is not something that celibacy-bound people usually do.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited )

    He also kept bees in the monastery garden and tried to do experiments on them but it wasn’t known back then that bees mate high in the air, so his attempts to breed them were futile. Other monks were often stung or annoyed by the nasty bees so he quit beekeeping.

    Once Upon a Time… The Discoverers ep. 16 also mentioned that the monks were annoyed at eating peas too often but I forgot to ask at the museum if that’s true.

    No.

    AnswerA thermostat chip uses a big transistor to control a relay, and is usually integrated with a touch/button and display driver, and it can be inside a conventional package. The thermistor is usually a discrete component created with different technology and away from heat-dissipating components. However, your idea that it’s a sensor that needs to interact with the outside world in a special way is not entirely incorrect.

    Answer + hintDespite their fame, if you are reading this, you are more likely to have this kind of chip in your house than Pringles.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited )

    Sorry for the inconvenience, I’m just trying to help people find hints in comments without someone ruining their experience by accidentally revealing the answer without a spoiler tag. This will keep the game fun even after someone guesses correctly.

    Okay, I’ll drop the rule but I hope the correct guessser will retroactively do it anyway.

    It’s not a bank card for the same reason it’s not a SIM (form factor)

    Congratulations!

    Thanks for using the spoiler tag. It’s working now.

    And yes, I took into account that electronic nerds’ houses are different from most others.

    The storyMy Genius optical mouse was tracking poorly, even on patterned surfaces and mouse mats. I cleaned the lens and that didn’t help. So I used a knife to open the chip, which is a pinhole camera with a die that integrates the sensor, a basic image processing system, button, wheel and LED controller and a USB (or maybe also PS/2) interface. I cleaned the chip with alcohol (mainly to remove the dust that had landed on it while it was open) and reassembled the mouse to find that it made no effect on ots functionality. I ultimately found out that the focus distance was off and I fixed it by removing the rubber pads at the bottom. The chip appears to have no alphanumerical marking. Full picture of the PCB with this chip – it is slightly damaged because I needed to scrape off parts of it to allow the cover to come off; I also did this because I thought of readjusting the focus by slightly lowering the chip (by bending its legs).

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    No cap

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    AnswerThat’s not a 14-pin chip. The device is apparently thicker, and it continues to function now that I reassembled it.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    AnswerInside a common humidity sensor
    Lovely guess but no. This one has more pins, the integrated circuit is more complicated and many people don’t have one at home.
