Oh I was wondering where you got the uranium for the glass...

It saddens me that we're here dealing with a push for obsolete, untenable solutions, and all the while, China keeps solving your "impossible issues" on the daily:

Out of context sure, but I mean, the dude had just asked about the timezone and all of the west coast is PST. But granted, if it was written in caps I'm sure it would have clicked instantly, pst is kinda weird.

Complimentary Q&A from your helpful lemmies.

Yeah the wings don't make any sense, but then again the optimal shape would probably be a cube and that's just so boring

AI post? The reply doesn't even make sense.

You could, but with that colossal amount of resources you could have built 12x in renewables, probably more because of economy of scale.

And if you decide to commit all those resources to renewables, you probably just created a booming local industry of well paying jobs.

And in those 6 years, you could have built over 6x that capacity in renewables, easy.

That's a lot of text, and yet, solving all of that is easier, faster and less expensive than nuclear.

I've considered it, some renewables installation jobs I've seen are extremely well paid.

Just wondering how that staff works, will they have to go picking through dragon poo to get all of meemaw, Dungeon Meshi style?

Oh I see, thank you. But a bottom what?

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
