Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?

I’m curious, how many people are aware of these sounds. I have designed, etched, and built my own switching power supplies along with winding my own transformers. I am aware of the source of the noise. So, does anyone else hear these high frequency sounds regularly?

Cell phone incoming signals: dit dit dit…dit dit dit…dit dit dit…buzzzzzzzzzz…dit dit dit…buzzzzzz…ringtone.

I don’t know why, but “mechanical turk” keeps cropping up when I think about this sort of stuff.

Has anybody seen the movie WALL-E?

It’s probably a bit of a stretch, but I feel like this is somehow the genesis/precursor of the hoverchairs that all the adults use for everything.

(God, I hope not.)

My American accent pronounces it “Shove-on”.

IronicDeadPan ,

This seems more appropriate.

It’s a pretty successful Disney movie from the last 20 years, there was never a chance that would work.

My first thought is all the maga people are going to run up to Alaska to “defend freedom” from Russia.

I then realized that probably won’t happen because they’ll only listen to what Trump tells them to do, so they’ll sit back and watch as the USA is reduced to 49 states.

In their eyes, you can’t spell RUSsiA without U.S.A…

Putin will probably just pull some more strings or use whatever leverage he supposedly has against Trump, so it ends up with Russia getting Alaska back with some form of a federal government payout too, that will be doled out to the working class in the form of a tax increase.

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

A 2024 Kia Telluride is right around $50,000 USD (fully loaded specs), but I get what you’re saying with regards to vehicles in general.

Like BMW and Tesla having “creature comforts” behind subscriptions.

Because it’s not that easy, unfortunately. The 5-way switch (d-pad with center button if you will), is molded into a shell. That shell is what sits in the cavity of the steering wheel. Even if you removed the switch from the shell, you still have to deal with the wiring inside, behind the switches and contacts, and the fact that the d-pad and the shell are formed in a way to only allow installation one way (as in there’s notches or grooves that will only let the switch sit in the shell at the “correct” position).

Hope this makes sense. (I’m a former automotive technician turned training/warranty coordinator)

Always has been.

IronicDeadPan ,

I have no idea what this is…

IronicDeadPan ,

I know the word doesn’t make sense, but that’s still a pretty funny coincidence (“rhought” kind of sounds like “Rott”-weiller)

IronicDeadPan ,

I agree with you and I live in Florida. I’d rather deal with the drive thru for the same reasons you listed.

Also, I won’t have to deal with trying to buckle a 2 & 4 year-old out of and back into their car seats, especially when it’s raining and 95*F. The 4 year old has ASD and refuses to be helped into the car so they throw a tantrum in the rain, and the 2 year old loses their mind just because.

There are things that people who don’t have/want kids can’t understand, and it’s an argument not worth having.

IronicDeadPan ,

Sounds like mine also.

Add in a 90’s medical drama of some sort with a patient flat-lining for 2 or 3 minutes straight.

Or the annoying AF “dun-dun” from whatever “law & order” series she’s watching.

Looks like a press chopper. Place vegetable on top of a matrix of square blades (they’re like 10x10 rows or something) then you push through the blades with the press. It makes bulk diced veg or whatever very quickly, the blades are kind of a pain to clean but other than that, it’s pretty useful.

I like big phones and I cannot lie (22000mah Tank) (www.unihertz.com)

Ok it’s 4G and Android 12, so a little bit behind the times, and weighs over a pound, but it has 65 watt fast charging and a built in 1200 lumen flashlight (I wonder if that doubles as a video light). I found out about it a few days ago and have been fascinated by it since then. The weight isn’t so bad if you consider that...

I always see posts of fish and chips, and I never remember to ask:

What do you eat it with?

I prefer some hot sauce (fish) and some malt (chips)

IronicDeadPan ,

that’s Greek letter mu. It means micrograms or one millionth of a gram
