#connectors
I wasn't sure if I'd regret attempting 0402 assembly at home. These parts are truly _tiny_. But with a paste stencil and a steady hand I think I got away with it. The 3D printed jig was a new idea to aid alignment between the stencil and PCB, and it helped a […]

Dear EU: you led the way on standardizing USB-C connectors. Now, please standardize printer drivers across manufacturers so we can install a printer driver once, change printers, and just select the new printer in the “Available Printers” list.

This was a bit more than that. I should maybe have just bought the real ones 😅 I just kind of winged it with some black pipes and connectors and bolted the thing to my desk with everything tightened as much as possible

I’ve still got a couple, and many of the cables, leads and connectors mentioned in these posts. They’ll have to prise them from my cold, dead hand.

the problem was dirty, burnt connectors, so not really a problem with the design of the product or anything. this one was around 20 years old.

The thing is the water heater, 80 gallon heat pump, is $2500 or less (with rebate from BGE it's actually affordable!) but the labor is ridiculous. I am now an expert on SharkBite connectors, flexible, braided, or PEX, and so on because I am going down that rabbit hole. I'm glad it's all electric.

before i go to bed real quick shout out connectors that you can disassemble and re-use, these things are awesome. why buy a new cable for tens of euros when you can just get a box of random wires and connectors from someone and DIY it and get something that sounds and works equally as well

We've still got a VHS player! Not sure about tapes. I recall Able committing many of his beloved tapes to a skip we hired many years ago. Know what you mean about cables, old connectors etc., though. I'm sure they breed somehow. Must be why as soon as you turn your back, you find they've tangled up!

Was trying to fix a build a bear speaker box. It was already in bad shape because parts of it rusted but it was at least making clicking noises. I cleaned the connectors with some rubbing alcohol and somehow that made the situation worse. Now the speaker is entirely silent 😬

#Hamradio glitch solved (?). Problem was (?) with the pass-through connection in my window. Changed connectors and now the SWR is what it used to be.

All hail the mighty nanovna for troubleshooting this sort of thing.

Time to get fleeced the cost a box of cat5e, crimping tool, and 50 connectors for having the audacity of needing one 6m network cable.

what I had in mind was soldering it myself, the idea is basically to do it for myself. in this case the Qwiic would be SMD, and Grove either SMD or THT, both types of connectors are easily available. and I don't even think about the selling, if I could get away with having just 5 PCBs made,

Out of curiosity: are your boards a big investment, I mean in terms of quantity? I did a pretty cool KiCAD course some time ago, and it should be sufficient to make what I have in mind: a Xiao-compatible board with I2C connectors, Grove on one end and Qwiic on the other. But if I need to make...

In my case, I had "thinking" enabled. I asked it what happened, and this was its thinking process when explaining itself.

📊 and domain operations under one roof. Expect increased spend on connectors, governance-driven RAG, observability, lineage, and clean-room data collaboration. M&A should favor “AI plumbing”—vendors that reduce time-to-integration and enforce policy at the data layer.

Idea , Hasbro should release a box of just a bunch of different 5mm port connectors and joints and pieces to encourage more bot bending, also you could take all the pieces and arrange them into a spike x figure, thatd be cool

Exactly, and the verified connectors are great too.

The biggest improvement over other systems IMO is the utilities for handling REST api sources, including a scaffolder to set up a new REST source using an openAPI spec.

REST APIs are the unhappy family of data eng!
