@techconnectify.bsky.social Just saw your video on the heat pump water heater and have a question. Since my WH is in my garage, which is usually well above 80F in there and sometimes near 100F and I have a server rack in there too. Does it make sense to use one and pump the cold air into my rack?

Trump’s Second Iran War Becomes Illegal May 1

Contrary to claims by the New York Times, U.S. law doesn’t grant Trump authority to “give himself an extension” on a war already illegal under international law. His Iran war becomes illegal on May 1.

THE TRUMP CRIME FAMILY have illegally profited $5 Billion+ and his corporate cronies trillions, while he’s bankrupted and destroyed tens of millions of USA working class. MAGA cult followers are simply too brainwashed by Trump and Fox News to realize it. It’s the worst embarrassment in USA history.

What concerns me the most right now is how apparent it is that our local leaders have zero power over the local PDs. MN has to threaten to call in the national guard to protect citizens, not local PD Other governors have also completely side stepped the concept of directing local PD deal with ICE

A PCMCIA card with a label saying "YYZ Credit Card Adapter for Everything" in the style of the PCMCIA cards that IBM made back in the 90s. A small wifi antenna, SD card slot, and dongle connector are on the card's edge.

Some vendors sent us some of those video marketing card things and I snagged 2 of them, one with a 7" screen and one with a 5" screen. I'd love to repurpose the screens, so does anyone know how to work out what kind of interface they use via the flat cables? Or is this impossibly hard to do?

Anyone know where I can get a cable like this? It appears to be 16 pin, one end has a 1.0mm pitch, the other 1.5mm pitch, with a total length of around 80mm. Or does anyone have any idea how this could be repaired or replaced creatively (it's for a Creative Infra drive, see what I did there!)

Ribbon cable with a tear across almost all of the connections. Very sad thing to find in a CD Rom drive.
