- Comment on Help Identify This Connector 3 weeks ago:
It’s probably a proprietary connector made specifically for Yamaha, or Yamaha made it themselves. It’s loosely based on car connectors from what I can see, but I don’t think you’re gonna find much info about it.
I’d just go in “guns blazing” with this thing. If there is a replacement for it and it’s fairly cheap I mean. If not, I’d try and pry the silicon off with some of my DIY tools for these sorts of situations.
- Comment on Help Identify This Connector 3 weeks ago:
I wish to know how to open this socket to access the rubber/silicone seal inside, and to know that first I need to identify the name of this connector
What exactly do you mean by this, is the connector sealed?

Please send help, fascists don’t give up power easily.
Actually, most countries that could actually help are hoping to see you burn… because they’re your biggest contenders in world domination.

It didn’t used to be like that… but you had some horrible decisions made (or not paid attention to is more like it) over the years and this is the result.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 4 weeks ago:
Generally speaking, most people are just uneducated. Thus, that is fixable. And you can even get a lot out of mentally challenged people if you work with them a lot.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 4 weeks ago:
A better education will, at least partially, solve the problem… in the long run, of course… but the long run is like 20, 30 years from now. Things might get a lot worse by then and beyond fixing.
Things perpetuate and there is no fixing this. The real issue is capitalism and money. You can’t have an incentive to care about the people and how they are raised and educated if the only true incentive in this system is money. There is money in education, of course, but there is so much more from taking advantage of stupid people, regardless who does it (big tech, politicians, fast food chains…).

The education system in the US is screwed beyond oblivion, that’s why this is happening.
And it’s not just the US. I live in the Balkans and things are… well, very bad to be honest. We have the lowed average IQ in Europe.
The problem is, stupid people benefit both sides, left and right. They’re easy to control, as voters. No one wants voters which can think critically.
Democracy is flawed IMO. There is no fixing this. People do rule, but at what cost. There are alternatives, but, let’s face it, none of that will be implemented, at least not in our lifetimes.

As I said, it’s not about learning Russian. There are tons of translation tools these days and time is of the essence (most of the time). No one has the time to learn how to hack these forums (unless you have an exploit tested and ready to go).

No, they were done with Nixie tubes by the end of the 70’s… well, most of them.
Jr. Highschool history teacher visited, said they employ old ladies in the Moscow subway to watch the escalators just because everyone needed a job.
That was one of the main problems with communism and socialism. Not enough incentive for education, so just make up jobs, no matter how stupid they are. We called those jobs “doorknob operators” in ex Yugoslavia. It was a shitty deal, but there was no incentive for a large portion of the population to actually learn something useful because even if you don’t have anything other than a 4th grade education, you still had to be part of the workforce, and instead of forcing people to actually get a degree (mind you the state was the only employer at that time, even though, at least in ex Yugoslavia, there was an option for venture capital and self-employment in the 80’s, but no one actually did it… or very few, and on a very small scale), they just went “the hell with it 🤦… just… do something”… which could have panned out in the long term, but no one could know.

It’s not about learning Russian… it’s about getting info without having to bother hacking into the thing… which is gonna take a lot more than having to copy/paste snippets into Google Translate.

- Comment on Does anyone know if there's an IR/RF dimmer available in any of the Chinese online stores (AliExpress and the likes)? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I ran into those as well, but those are for fans with separate windings for different speeds, 1, 2, 3 or low, mid, high. You can’t use them for controlling a fan with one winding.
- Comment on Does anyone know if there's an IR/RF dimmer available in any of the Chinese online stores (AliExpress and the likes)? 2 months ago:
You can, I have, it works… good enough. It’s not supposed to work in that mode, with chopped up sine waves, but it’s not such a big deal if you keep the motor cool, and it will stay cool because it’s a fan, a table fan… just mounted on a wall… and the motor is practically exposed, so it will be directly cooled.
Could you share the links of those cheap ones? Are those IR/RF controlled? Cuz I know about these, but they don’t have remotes.

I know what I’m doing and I know what I have to mod to make it work properly and within engineering limits (I am an engineer). I just don’t have the time to make one myself, I just don’t.
It’s a synchronous AC motor, about 100W (maybe less, haven’t measured it), single phase, 230V~, but what does this have to do with what I asked?

Might be cheap for western salaries, I make about 10K euros a year 🤷.
I can mod the controller to not catch fire… I just need a PCB anyway, I don’t need the case.
- Comment on Does anyone know if there's an IR/RF dimmer available in any of the Chinese online stores (AliExpress and the likes)? 2 months ago:
Yeah, saw these on AliExpress as well. They’re not cheap, they’re like $20. I was looking for something fairly simple, like $3 to $5, nothing fancy. I would even be OK with just 3 levels if it was fairly cheap.
Oh well, I guess I’m gonna have to make one myself… simple things are off the table on online shops from what I can see.

I just mind that memes get deleted for no apprent reason… sometimes they give a reson, most of the time, they don’t. I mean, come on, it’s a joke…
But whatever. If people here are happy with what they get out of stricter moderation, hey, who am I to judge.

It is possible they are young and searching themselves, yet to understand how the world and online discussions work.
Yes, that is what I meant when I said young.

lemmy.ml is not as nearly as bad now, lemmy.world on the other hand… I just stopped posting there.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 6 months ago:
I believe OP is young and just more into philosophy than politics… ot maybe a combo of both. I know a time when I was like that, so it’s perfectly normal.
But, unfortunately, yes, there are very few individuals out there that communicate on that level.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 6 months ago:
And if that eventually happens, other problems will follow.
I kinda like it the way it is. I also use Reddit, so that kinda balances things out I guess.
