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.

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

Anyone have any experience at all with Plasma Active? It might almost convince me to get a tablet (as long as I can use a keyboard with it). !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

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

@broniebrown ima downloading the update now.

@techdisk42 I updated FF13 a few moments ago and was annoyed by the new "new tab page" right at the beginning.

@broniebrown i have a plugin that makes it automatically go to the homepage on every new tab.

@omni Well, once the Android phone is my secondary device I was planning to keep it so that I could play with it and try these sorts of mods just for the hell of it. But whilst it's my primary phone I'd rather not risk buggering it up.
-
@omni The most I've done as far as customising/changing up my phone is changing the default Launcher from Sense (I bloody hate Sense) to LauncherPro, and changing the phone dial/contact browsing app to Go Dialer Ex. That's it xD I'm content with the phone as a daily driver and don't feel the need to take any risks with it.

Killing time in the Apple store atm. Using an iPhone 4S. iOS has the unique distinction of having the only on screen keyboard that I find easier to type on using Portait rather than landscape O.o !techponies
Saturday, 28-Apr-12 15:56:54 UTC from web-
@leonkfox I always switch to landscape for typing no matter what phone I'm using.
-
@redenchilada same here :) it's hard to do it with portrait mode...
-
@redenchilada Bar for the iOS keyboard it's the same for me. It's weird that that's an exception I know, but what can you do?

@supercammy Well, I want one that plays modern games at full spec and is future proof for a few years, so saving up will take a few months, with £150 going towards it every 2 weeks. Here's to hoping it doesn't take too long, heh.

@supercammy I may need some help building it if I do it myself, never heard of Vibox though.

@supercammy How much do they charge for the service/assembly though?
