they took power plants out by shorting the wires
<larsc>
⚡⚡⚡ ⚡⚡⚡
<DocScrutinizer05>
now they probably recycled the surplus bombs and played "does it blend?" with the carbon fibres, then mixed it with wallpaper glue
<whitequark>
won't that result in a huge discharge arc and failsafe switch on the plant?
<whitequark>
and then it'll turn back on again
<larsc>
if it has one
<whitequark>
larsc: er... some of them don't?
<DocScrutinizer05>
hmm, seems the shorts been permanent
<whitequark>
DocScrutinizer05: I'm pretty damn sure the fiber will be vaporized
<whitequark>
you can find lots of videos like that on 'tube
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's carbon
<whitequark>
so?
<DocScrutinizer05>
well
<whitequark>
it's not enough carbon to dissipate several MW
<DocScrutinizer05>
the first few fibres take out the power plant and might evaporize or rather burn, the rest will happily sit on the powerless wires and short any next effort to power up the line again
<DocScrutinizer05>
also wire cut is likely
<whitequark>
DocScrutinizer05: (short any next effort) isn't the only thing you need to do is to power up the line? it will remove the fiber itself. the arcing probably will be a problem, however.
<whitequark>
I'm not sure to what extent will the wires degrade

<DocScrutinizer05>
I think the more protective gear they have, the more trouble to power up a shorted line
<DocScrutinizer05>
DI
<whitequark>
probably
<whitequark>
I also heard some of that gear is both very expensive and one-time use
<DocScrutinizer05>
yep
<whitequark>
yeah exactly... it seems that the arcing did damage the wires

wonders of BGA can be glued instead reflowed
unclouded has joined #qi-hardware
<DocScrutinizer05>
you for sure need perfect glue application and component positioning, since no self centering and small surface tention of glue
<DocScrutinizer05>
but hey, no more reflow, no more heat. No more water steam explosions in balls
<lindi->
<pabs> interesting, the Broadcom Videocore reverse engineering folks have custom code running on the part of the RPi GPU responsible for booting

lindi-: yeah, except they don't really know anything about videocore and can neither activate the framebuffer (not even talking about 3D) nor boot the ARM core

tries to get NFC working on his phone
<whitequark>
either bad phone or bad tags :/
<whitequark>
they are kinda write-only, and I think only a single attempt of several dozen succeeded

hmmm interesting
<whitequark>
it seems that first 8 bytes of even a clean tag are non-random garbage
<DocScrutinizer05>
serial # ?
<whitequark>
DocScrutinizer05: nope
<whitequark>
serial is before that
<whitequark>
the weird thing is: it's an NXP tag and NXP tag reader (does anyone else make them? all NFC stuff I could find at my place was by NXP)
<whitequark>
sooo I clean the tag, and apart from system info it contains 01 03 A0 10 44 03 00 FE
<whitequark>
and this is correctly recognized by the tag reader as an empty NDEF record
Caly__ is now known as Calyp
Calyp has quit [Changing host]
Calyp has joined #qi-hardware
<whitequark>
but when I write the actual info to the tag, it contains 01 03 A0 10 44 44 0E and an actual NDEF record
<whitequark>
which I can recognize manually
<whitequark>
nothing in the prologue seems to be a valid record start
<whitequark>
FE seems to be an epilogue (actual info also contains it at the end) but it is not a valid record according to the NDEF standard
<whitequark>
maybe there's more framing going on
<whitequark>
why do I have to do this at all! >_< it should be a consumer technology. easy to use yadda yadda

HWSON8: plastic thermal enhanced very very thin small outline package
wolfspraul has joined #qi-hardware
<whitequark>
indeed, there's another TLV structure there
<whitequark>
hmmm right
<whitequark>
instead of "44 0E" there should've been "03 0E" for it to be a valid T/L for an NDEF record
<whitequark>
I wonder why it writes 44 there...
