1. 47 headphoneAmplifiercomponents installation drawing: from low to high principle, namely the first low welding components, such as resistor. Ohkay I sorta know what they mean here
Pay attention to the polarity, can not meet the. Element name element label polarity fair enough, I know what they mean here, there is a little table here pointing out that there is a polarity for things like LED and electrolyic capacitors, and it does not matter for the Monolythic capacitors & resistors.
But then
Shall not be plugged into the IC 5532 direction, otherwise will burn IC 5532
What ? ... I shall scour the internet looking for a YouTube video or something trying to explain this.

@mcscx I have mostly Debian systems here (with Win7 dual boot). On my pogoplug I use Arch Linux for my home server.

I have almost all parts to convert my SNES to an emulator machine. I only need an ethernet bridge, a small ethernet patch cable, and an active USB hub. Well... Also I need a small board and cables to connect the SNES controller ports to the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi board !techponies

@broniebrown I wonder what happens if you send your broken SNES to Nintendo HQ

@critialcloudkicker Nintendo doesn't offer official support for the SNES anymore. It's toooo old. I make pictures when I'm done.

I received my second Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT. The guy who sold this to me was very stupid. He flashed the wrong firmware on the device and bricked it almost. By accident it could boot into the web interface and I could flash the right firmware onto it. Otherwise I had to revert the original firmware in a very complicated way. !techponies

@scribus I tried it in VirtualBox. It gave a segfault but just kept running. It seems decent, though, I'd love to really try it once.

@omni Yeah, last I heard it was still heavily in-development, and then I heard nothing more.

I cross my fingers. I install Arch Linux on my Pogoplug POGO-E02. I hope I won't brick this. !techponies

I got my extremely cheap pogoplug. The original software is extremely dumb. Really dumb. This device doesn't have samba shares nor nfs. You have to use their damn dumb software or use the website to access the data. I'll have to install Arch Linux on this device to get the right amount of functionality I wanted. !techponies

Can somebody suggest a good video capture card (PCI/USB) that runs well on Linux and Win7 that has S-Video, Composite Video and Chinch audio input? I want to play on my PC NES, SNES, N64, PS2 etc. My old TV card makes troubles nowadays !techponies

I'm up for just about 21 minutes and my phone's battery drops from 100% to 77& :/ It's burning frustratingly fast, whichever battery I use. (I have 3 batteries for this thing, 1 is the standard htc Desire Z 1300mAh battery and the other two are 2400mAh backup batteries. Looks like I'm gonna nees 'em too...) !androidbronies !techponies

@leonkfox Have you considered using a "Swype-style" keyboard? With the T9 in it and all, it drastically decreased the amount of typos I make. (I personally use TouchPal Keyboard, free in the Android Market).

@pugs911 I won't get a Macbook for £200 to £300, plus I don't like Apple all that much, their products may have a nice build etc but I'll always use Windows machines, personally.
-
@rancidrob Someone on Twitter heavily advised against emachines. I still have plenty of time to do more research etc so I'll decide closer to the time that I buy this laptop.
-
@rancidrob No worries :) And yeah, the person on Twitter said they overheat a lot, which would affect the usability of it as a primary computer whilst in my room. Thinking I may end up getting an Asus laptop of some variety.

Can anyone reccomend a decent but afforfable pair of in ear headphones? The ones I have were really cheap and sound horrible for music x.x !techponies
- Cerulean Lulamoon-Spark likes this.

@leonkfox If you're looking for cheap-ish but surprisingly good, there's an ~£30 pair of Sennheiser in-ears that I don't quite recall the name of. For the price, those are absolutely amazing for sound quality. (Build quality, somewhat less so, but I think my earphones take more rough treatment than is really fair anyway, so that might not even be a problem.)

@leonkfox Being honest, getting a new phone just to run a new version of Android seems like a waste of money to me, because I'm running Android 4.0.4 on my Samsung Galaxy Gio. Still, Android 4.1 looks interesting, so please share your experiences with it, I'd love to know.
-
@omni I wouldn't be getting a new phone just to run a new version of Android, my contract expires then. (Was originally a Blackberry Curve 8520 SIM but I got sick to death of that thing and got an htc Desire Z. Though these days I don't use the physical keyboard at all due to it falling apart so my next phone will be a screen only device.)

If you don't like the new tab page of Firefox 13, you can adjust it to the old behaviour by typing about:config in the url bar and change the entry of browser.newtab.url from about:newtab to about:blank. !techponies

As much as I love my room after being redecorated (mainly for the much improved lighting) one unfortunate thing about it...my Ethernet cable has been removed, so what was once a borderline useless computer that was only good for what my phone could easily do on Wi-Fi is now not even that as it has a terrible wireless card and it's so old buying a new one is pointless, especially when my phone can do all it was good for easily. Going to be double checking the hard drive to make sure I have everything I want from it backed up, then we're getting rid of that computer due to its complete uselessness. !techponies
