Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but maybe all of the wasps decided to come to my house instead… they’re in my damn roof, the bricks, the garage… but hey at least they’re pollinators?
I would be reallllly careful using a heat gun - that can very easily destroy the big BGA chip on that board.
If I had to guess, the pads aren’t properly cleaned and also your iron’s tip may not be cleaned and tinned properly. Ribbon cable pads aren’t very small, so solder should melt onto them and stick quite quickly - you don’t have to heat a board long for that to happen.
Also, the metal shield you’re referring to is exactly that - an EMI shield, usually. A big piece of metal that is grounded and meant to help prevent interference. They’re typically made of steel, so solder usually does not stick directly to them! You’d have trouble soldering wires right onto an EMI shield unless it happened to be copper, which again, it likely is not.
So for padding, it sometimes depends on how your compiler works, but usually, it doesn’t pack bytes by default - that needs to manually be done. Otherwise, a uint32 followed by 2 uint16s, for example, will take up the space for 3 uint32s (in a 32-bit native compiler). If you manually specify packing (implemented differently depending on your compiler and such), then it will pack those all properly into just 2 uint32s.
I do imagine 24 bits followed by 16 more in a bit field for a 32-bit number would potentially cause problems. But it’s late here and I could certainly be wrong so take that with a grain of salt.
That also said, I typically don’t use bitfields directly in structures - it’s not usually good practice, at least where I work. I’d either do a uint8[3] or use a whole uint32 that is a union, and in the union would be your :24 followed by a reserved : 8, if that makes any sense. It’s sometimes worth it to leave a few extra bytes in there just from an organization standpoint.
Worked for me; I can see it fine
Just note that if you 3D print something, if you use the wrong material, there’s a chance it may melt.
That’s actually a surprisingly powerful SBC for what it costs. Does Pine64 stuff come with fancy looking enclosures like that one, too?
What a load of crap. I knew Netflix was expensive, but ten bucks a month per person with ads? That’s unreal! Even bundling only gets that down to ~$7, which is still BS.
A plain old samba share works just fine, I’ve got a few running at home.
~$2500USD/ea, for anyone else as curious as me
Out of curiosity, what’s wrong with medium? (Serious question)
@kde@floss.social - are these available somewhere as full res pictures already? And/or will they be after the desktop is chosen? Or will only the chosen one be available?
I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten this exact email before
