    Yep I have to second, you lose a ton of safety when overinflating tires like that due to the tire not gripping the road as it would if correctly inflated. Not a trade off I'd make with my life.

    Microcenter doesn't sell fridges, unfortunately. However, I have been pretty pleased with them since Fry's is out of then picture. That was a rough couple of years.

    Some less tired viewers have correctly pointed out that the "warranty" was added for a price and discounted in the cart, as well as free delivery. Perhaps, if you don't find the UI misleading like I did, this isn't a bad thing.

    Back when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say "what the heck," I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.

    Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.

    Best Buy Membership "discount"

    So I was shopping with my wife today and I said "oh let's see if my membership helps out." So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I'm paying for in this membership if the items "original price" is higher for me than it is for regular shoppers?

    I'd like to chime in and say that there are some great pieces of advice here, thanks for being good, Lemmy!

    My advice for conception is to just enjoy your partner. Don't make it work, go on dates, use foreplay, make it fun, and you'll build memories as well as a stronger bond. Always communicate with your partner, that makes everything better, even the uncomfortable things, just remember to be kind.

    I have no idea how sexual orientation is, in any way, related to my comment. You can keep that kind of nonsense to yourself. This mural is essentially a bad Zoom call screenshot to my eyes. Just a bizarre angle to capture and span across a huge building, regardless of the subject's eye liner.

    Yes, I have to agree the problem is not just gun laws, and, in isolation, changes to gun laws would not fix the root of the problem.

    Autonomous LED Driver Dev PCB

    Greetings again! [Yesterday I posted the schematic for this circuit](https://lemmy.world/post/13363391), and today I have routed it as a 2 layer PCB. The intent of this board is for it to be a playground to build autonomous LED animations with the [LP5812 ICs from TI](https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lp5812.pdf?ts=1710689049125), which seem pretty neat. I'm hoping to get feedback on this design and sanity checks to make sure I haven't missed something when routing this out. I couldn't figure out how to upload multiple photos, so I'll add some more views in the comments. Cheers! [If you're interested in the KiCad files or other related things, I've got it on GitHub.](https://github.com/scytherswings/Starlight-LP5812-Dev-Board)

    Yeah I hear that some people like to keep the bus pullups closer to the host. The other gotcha is that the voltage for the I2C doesn't have to match the VCC pin and I didn't want to assume that users would want those coupled together. Perhaps I can add some DNP resistors so users can have a choice of a pull-up on the dev board if they like.

    Naturally, just like a making a pull request, I found that my annotations were incorrect for the LEDs (it doesn't functionally change the schematic) after posting. My intent is to have all odd LEDs on U1 and even on U2 so that when I place them in a circle it's easy to make usable patterns with one controller at a time as I learn how to use animation engines.

    Autonomous LED Driver Dev Board Schematic

    Greetings! I've been throwing this schematic together as I want to experiment with the TI LP5812 IC which is an i2c controlled autonomous matrix LED driver. I am a novice when it comes to electronics so I'm looking to see if I've missed anything in this demo board schematic. The intended purpose of this circuit will be to provide a playground to experiment with different lighting patterns by allowing the user to interact with two of these LP5812 ICs over i2c as each can only drive 4 RGB leds each. My main points of concern: Making sure that I haven't missed anything critical in the rather dense TI datasheet https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lp5812.pdf?ts=1710689049125 as well as making sure that my schematic makes sense. I chose not to include i2c pullups on this dev board as I felt that was best left for the host to configure, but I'm happy to learn. Thank you! Here's a link to the KiCad project if you'd like to see more https://github.com/scytherswings/Starlight-LP5812-Dev-Board/tree/main

    Why should I have to do everything myself when I'm at a commercial establishment? Why is interaction with a human a bad thing? I absolutely hate self checkout for the same reasons. Quality of service is valuable and humans benefit from interaction.

    That is... Really odd. But I have to ask, do you want to solve the problem or do you want your phone to work right? My experience with phones is that it is nearly impossible to get to a competent tech support person that can actually troubleshoot. I would consider getting evidence of the phone not working and getting it replaced under warranty. Otherwise prepare for wasting tons of your life trying to get a real fix.

    Anecdotal but my fold 4 has never had touchscreen problems so far.

I have spaced out and I love it but I'm usually stuck to my first two planetoids because I hate the way I built my base but I don't have enough resources or physical space to rebuild everything before I can start doing more rocketry stuff. Any advice?
