Possibly an unrealistic expectation from the average driver.

It's difficult to speculate as to the exact failure from blurry pictures but the solder on that choke (inductor) looks terrible.

Something went wrong in manufacturing. The solder should have wicked to cover the entire pad, not just a small square, and there should be no (brown) discoloration.

I'm ashamed to admit, I had too many tabs open to notice :|

Just curious, what's your setup like? How do the devs interact with the model?

But hey, the dev was generous to give it an MIT license, you could always just fork it and what you like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not the biggest flaw, there are plenty others, but it does seem to be universally disliked.

For example, there is not much you could do to Finder to make it worse.

That last sentence holds a lot of truth.

Our company has drastically downsized its dependence on Atlassian in the past month, we will be completely free in a few more. With the help of modern AI tools we've been able to replace their products with internal tools that are better tailored to our needs.

The flickering is solely a result of cost cutting in the power supplies of these LED lights. The problem is totally solvable with a constant current switching power supply. But the filtering circuitry adds cost.

Love the aesthetic, even more, that you published the source! I bought a copy on Steam, thank you for your work!

Any plans to add more advanced campaigns, say, to build up to a simple processor?

This sounds very interesting, would you be able to share a little more about your process? What works and what doesn't?

It's a negligible amount, especially if you (or your car) does rev matching. My last car (BMW 328) made it to 300k miles on the original clutch.

There could be a few benefits to what is proposed in the article, here are my semi-educated guesses.

1. Less dependent on local geology. Geothermal wells are well suited for hot, non-pourous (?) geology.

2. Might be cheaper. It can take years to drill the wells for a closed loop system (e.g. Eavor), less for a fracked geothermal well (e.g. Fervo). I imagine drilling a single borehole for this is way simpler.

3. Less water loss. Fracked geothermal well wells can be pretty lossy (20%?). If water supply is an issue your options may be limited.

200W at 300g is realistic for a modern BLDC motor. The article states that Maxon was the motor supplier so they likely used the EC-4pole series, I'm guessing it's one of these.

It's 30mm diameter to fit in a down-tube, 200W, and 300g. But just because it's 200W doesn't mean you have to run it at maximum capacity, there's no reason you couldn't run it at 5-50W.

Is your server on that list?

j/k, I’m sorry, I’ll see myself out XD
