History's Major Downtimes: Lessons from the Biggest Outages

    The Downtime Project is a pretty interesting podcast that covers some large outages and discusses their post-mortem analysises. Worth a listen IMO, very interesting stuff and some good lessons to learn.

  • Fixing Double Inputs and flickering LEDs?
  • dap dap 3mo ago 100%

    Kind of difficult to give recommendations on where to start for resoldering, but my first hunch would be cold solder joints somewhere. I have a Kyria from splitkb that I assembled myself that had spotty LEDs on one half which turned out to be a cold joint on one of the surface mount underglow LEDs. Also had no key presses registered on a row that turned out to be a cold joint at the MCU.

    As for general troubleshooting recommendations, if you can get a board schematic that would be immensely beneficial for your efforts as it would show how and to what pins of your MCU everything is connected. With that you can try to identify where the fault might be occurring (e.g. LEDs die after LED 5 in the chain) and focus your efforts before/after that area.

    Failing the board schematic, you may be able to just visually see where the traces connect back to on the PCB, or you could probe it out using continuity mode on a multimeter and reverse engineer the connections.

    Another thing that may aid in diagnosing where the issue lies with the double key presses is figuring out how the key matrix is laid out. For example if you're receiving double presses on only some keys in a single row or column, the issue lies in either that row/column or the MCU pin they connect back to. Again, the board schematic would be really helpful in this regard.

    Best of luck!

    Crashing and burning (in a non-production environment) is an excellent motivator to develop necessary skills; being unafraid to break things and fix them when they inevitably break helps you get a deeper understanding of how the systems work, for what it's worth.

    Not...not quite like that lol. Interesting nonetheless, but I don't think even if I qualified I would volunteer lol.

    I loved that book growing up and was so excited when the movie was coming out (on my birthday!)

    To this day, that movie is the only one I legitimately walked out of. It was such a terrible adaptation.

    Oh yeah...the sounds were something else lol. The technicians gave me earplugs for mine. It is quite a loud procedure strangely enough. The one benefit was that I was able to request the imagery they took on a disc afterwards and then I was able to 3d print my brain from the imagery!

    Watching them do the chair was... terrifying... Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

    I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like "Nah, you're fine." I was like "Okay, just please don't steal my teeth 😬"

    Indigo Traveller is a great channel who goes to less-travelled parts of the world to shed light on how people live in less fortunate parts of the world. I love how he is able to cut through politics and other perspectives to show the human element of the situation of the people on the ground of the places he visits. It's refreshing, and haunting, to see the day-to-day struggles of the people interviewed. I wish that more media was cognizant of the individual struggles of those presented within his videos, and that they would talk about ways to assist the countries and people that are highlighted in Indigo Traveller's travels.

    Good Afternoon Everyone, I am looking for a goldilocks tactile switch it seems. I want a tactile switch with the tactility of a Zealios v2, with the sound of a Gazzew U4T. I love the P-shaped bump that Zealios v2s provide, and it helps me with my typing accuracy, however I prefer the sound profile that the Gazzew U4Ts have. People swear that U4Ts are extremely tactile, but I just don't feel it. I think that it's in part due to the fact that the tactile event is more rounded ("D" shaped), or that the event occurs over a longer travel distance coupled with the reduced travel of the long stem. That being said, I love how the U4Ts sound and would love to find a switch that feels like a Zealios v2 but sounds closer to a U4T. Open to any and all suggestions, thanks!
