Getting a concussion from silicone? A well-known soft and pliable material? So masculine, so tough

Perhaps a sandwich

A BGA 153 chip successfully reballed to reinstall on an IoT device

Bga reball update. We got him

I've had this happen before. Somehow my terminal had lost access to the directory. Gotta shut down your terminal and check privacy and security settings.

Tried to manually reball a 153 BGA today. Placing the balls wasn't too bad but then the damn balls wouldn't melt with my hot air station at max temp 😭

I really need to get a bga hot plate...

Sadly here in the US it would be shut down at least a few times a month due to people jumping onto the tracks like in Chicago

Don't forget to check out the available extensions in Logic2! Quite a few helpful ones depending on the protocols you're working with

With Rocky Mountain oysters on the side

Getting the ADHD urge to take on a new hobby and my current obsession is CNC machining. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced machine (<1k) capable of working on at least aluminum, maybe steel, with a Z height greater than 4", and possibly even 4 axes? Willing to build a kit #cnc #DIYmachining

Steam deck shell honestly isn't too bad. Just be careful with your heat when removing the screen!

So far

Anyone have recommended soldering hot plates for BGA rework? Looking to pick something up to make my life a bit easier but don't want to spend >$100

Fair enough 🤣

Results of a political compass quiz correctly identifying me as libleft.

Obviously very biased questions with no room for ambiguity but more or less gave an accurate result

What hot plate do you use? Been looking at getting one lately for BGA shenanigans

As if I needed another reason to despise Zuck/FB. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

What are the charges? Throwing a succulent Subway sandwich?

Definitely thought she was way older than 32. Guess that's what being a hateful PoS does to you. Meanwhile I got carded 4 times at Defcon including twice when I was just trying to get water from the bar. I'm 31

Just your average Republican unable or refusing to acknowledge statistics. Only scary things about La Crosse are being a dude trying to bike home at night, being drunk alone near the river, and the rampant alcoholism but the last one is just WI culture in general.

Naw, this was yesterday. Completely unrelated to that outage

We weren't told anything about sensor/reporting issues. Just air too hot, plane too heavy, and a runway too short to get enough lift. But 100% better to be grumpy and exhausted than splattered across the ground

Same dudes who think they can take a chimpanzee or bear in a fight

Similar situation for me. Plane too heavy, temp too high, ATC wouldn't approve long runway, eventually went back to the gate, refueled, got approved for longer runway, paid people to get off, headed back out, got refueled too much, pilots timed out, deplaned. 5.5 hours on the tarmac 😔

United get you too? I was supposed to be home at 5PM 😔

People find all kinds of basic economic ideas hard to understand. Like people who literally think they'll take home less money if they work overtime or get a raise (benefit cliffs excluded), inability to understand tax brackets, stock market basics like market cap and available shares, etc. Morons

Will do! If I find the time, I'll try to add it myself and submit a PR

Any plans to add support for local models running tools like ollama/open webui? Could be a huge boon for those working on projects with NDAs/data privacy restrictions

A coupon for a free handcuff key from Defcon's physical security village after escaping from handcuffs within 30 seconds when handcuffed with your hands behind your back

Won a handcuff breakout challenge at defcon! Handcuffed behind the back and had to get out within 30 seconds to win a handcuff key #defcon33 #physecvillage

All while being exceedingly wealth. Must be so hard on him
