True, but it’s an old habit to keep it at an even 8 bits and it’s a visual placeholder for me, s’all. Also, I can’t even remember the last time I worked with a nibble, even with simple MCUs.
I even think there was a conversation about how he didn’t have an extra set of eyelids or something. I could be wrong, it’s been a while since I have seen that episode.
Edit: It just occurred to me that if what I remember is true, doesn’t T’Pol just have built-in sunglasses that she is wearing?
Provided they don’t explode first, ceramic capacitors tend to fail short circuit. If you have a multimeter, do continuity checks across all of them. In-circuit capacitance testing is very inaccurate, so that specific test is almost always moot. Continuity testing may help.
Also, depending on the speed of the multimeter and the charge of the capacitor, it may briefly give you a tone and/or register as a short circuit. Capacitors can register as a short circuit very briefly until they get a slight charge.
The diode at the top right is another easy thing to check. (D12 // SS34) if it’s failed short, it will cause issues for you as well.
I am not sure what the component is that is under the heatsink by the USB connector. Sometimes, you may have voltage regulators stepping down the USB 5V to 3.3V. Those are easy to replace as well. However, if it is a USB controller of some kind, you would have to reference the datasheet and test it somehow.
The doc in the picture is wearing a mask that was supposed to prevent the plague. If the person didn’t die from the treatments they had back then the plague will kill them anyway.
No reason to burn someone if you can legitimately bleed them out first.
Psilocybe cubensis are much more resilient than people give them credit for and are really easy to grow. UB tek is great if you don’t want to mess around with pressure sterilization or anything like that.
