I got a used from a local retro store I wanted to support, on my side of town. Spend $75 for the bundle. Certainly higher than eBay prices, but again - wanted to support them.

Got home, only to realize that the disc drive is scuffing the discs on ejection. It's likely quite dirty internally, judging by the exterior. Should I:

question:

do #ants find #electronics, #computers and such attractive? do they "feel" electricity?
or is it just the heat they like?

(triggered by colleagues' reports of ant invasion into servers ...)

Okay I actually broke it. Turns out the probe sockets are on a separate board that is only connected via 3 solder bridges and nothing else. I pushed it slightly too hard and one of them broke off. When i reflowed it, a whole piece of copper track broke off. Had to scratch the path further down to connect it back. Now it works again but seriously who designed it like that :blob_facepalm:

I have a Lenovo T590 here where the mainboard is toast. The chip says MPME8690 1395 C the chip to the right is the same.
I can't find a similar chip nor the schema for this board.
Does anyone know if I can replace it with another chip? Any hints and boosts welcome.

I really dislike those cheap multimeters. The probes just keep breaking. I don't know what are they making them out of but i just quickly hacked a goldpin onto it to use jumper wires instead :drake_like:

I successfully burned the "Blink" program from Arduino examples into a potato.

It has just enough raw power to run the program, but I suspect it is prone to random segmentation faults.

Yet it is amazing how much potatotential this potato has, especially if you have the root access!

Feeling the tariff pinch? US import duties are pushing up Leica camera prices by 7% even in Canada, as they route through the US. Other gear like DJI & Blackmagic also affected.

Finally, the third RS package arrived. So it is RIFA vs Würth. What's your favourite?

HELLO! And welcome to the #nakeddiefriday on this somewhat rainy day.

Today's guest is a variation on the serial EEPROM theme, one MDA2062 made by ITT in Germany. I'll do a short thread.

Chloroprene Price Trend Analysis: Historical Data, Forecasts, and Market Insights

Chloroprene, a key synthetic rubber monomer primarily used in the production of neoprene, plays a vital role in multiple industries, including #automotive, #construction, #electronics, and adhesives. Its pricing is influenced by several macro and microeconomic factors, ranging from raw material costs and energy prices to global demand and supply dynamics. Understanding the Chloroprene price trend is crucial for procurement professionals, investors, and supply chain managers who rely on market insights to optimize sourcing strategies and budget planning.

Chloroprene Price Trends: https://www.procurementresource.com/resource-center/chloroprene-price-trends

In this article, we delve into the latest Chloroprene #pricenews, provide in-depth market analysis, explore historical and forecasted data, and offer a regional breakdown to help stakeholders navigate the volatile pricing environment of this crucial chemical compound.

Latest Chloroprene Price News and Developments

In recent quarters, #Chloroprenemarkets have witnessed a range of fluctuations driven by geopolitical tensions, changes in crude oil benchmarks, regulatory interventions, and fluctuations in demand from downstream industries. The production of Chloroprene is heavily dependent on raw materials like butadiene and acetylene, both of which are sensitive to #globalenergytrends.

The market has also been affected by changing environmental regulations, especially in major #production hubs such as China and the United States. Temporary plant shutdowns for maintenance, coupled with logistic bottlenecks, have created supply constraints, impacting the Chloroprene market globally.

Additionally, the rising demand from automotive and wire & cable sectors, particularly in Asia-Pacific, has intensified competition among manufacturers, creating disparities in regional pricing. Many buyers and sellers actively monitor Chloroprene market news to stay informed about any shifts that may influence contract negotiations and procurement timelines.
