hell and software what waits for pi to boot and send "im up to be written" and wait X > sofware would send "yeah today is this file:file.iso" rest is magic and pi reboots

2019-09-04 11:38:43 UTC  

ofc for security reason usable only with togle switch on board so nobody can crash your pi and then abuse it for nefarious stuff

2019-09-04 11:39:46 UTC  

(and ofc running operating system could have disable bit for that too incase some fuckhead forgots to flip that switch back)

reminder that there's a limited amount of mating cycles on a connector/sd card

2019-09-04 11:43:46 UTC  

i've had microsd cards just randomly break in half once, without even applying too much force

2019-09-04 11:52:13 UTC  

i wonder which one has more stress resistance

2019-09-04 11:52:21 UTC  

the connector itself or the card 🤔

2019-09-04 12:21:23 UTC

https://i.imgur.com/Vk5g5MP.png What should I expect from this?

2019-09-04 12:32:06 UTC  

According to the reviews, it's sharp.

2019-09-04 12:44:18 UTC  

customs taking it away before it reaches you

2019-09-04 12:44:30 UTC  

that or your average market day grade knife

2019-09-04 12:44:47 UTC  

and those "wooden" pieces breaking in long run

2019-09-04 12:44:54 UTC  

Never had customs interfere with any other knives I've bought.

2019-09-04 12:45:37 UTC  

AliExpress will refund me if it never arrives though, right?

2019-09-04 12:47:12 UTC  

not if they get custom report that they took it

2019-09-04 12:47:24 UTC  

Oh, well rip.

2019-09-04 12:47:24 UTC  

customs problems are under purchasers

2019-09-04 12:47:49 UTC  

Hopefully customs ignores it completely like they've done before.

2019-09-04 12:48:01 UTC  

how i know ? i almost lost rather expensive piece of equipment due due non valid proper CE stampings

2019-09-04 12:48:14 UTC  

tho managed to get money back due custom lied on it

2019-09-04 12:48:29 UTC  

they tried to be smart with China export bullshit

2019-09-04 12:48:41 UTC  

but advertised it with CE-certificate

2019-09-04 12:48:42 UTC  

Oh, I ordered a butterfly knife from the US. It arrived but I didn't realized pivot screws weren't included. I've also bought like 4 chink knives.

2019-09-04 12:48:46 UTC  

so ali forced them to pay me back whole sum

2019-09-04 12:49:06 UTC  

(in the end i managed to fight the device from customs too as "to get it validated"

2019-09-04 12:49:13 UTC  

but fuck that noise as it was not for business use)

2019-09-04 12:49:19 UTC  

Oof

2019-09-04 12:49:28 UTC  

but that customs shit took me months

2019-09-04 12:49:46 UTC  

I had some trouble importing a phone from Japan. I wasn't told I would have to cover customs costs.

2019-09-04 12:50:07 UTC  

It ended up being about £25 but they held it for an extra week which was annoying.

2019-09-04 12:50:51 UTC  

If the knife does end up being bad I hope I can remove the pivot screw from it.

2019-09-04 12:50:57 UTC  

I can't find anywhere that sells them.

2019-09-04 12:51:31 UTC  

I've been looking for over a year for the right ones but I can only find american sellers that charge ~£45 for shipping on £3 screws.

2019-09-04 13:01:40 UTC  

picture of screws

2019-09-04 13:02:27 UTC  

@Greytide or just the length

2019-09-04 13:03:03 UTC  

quickly checking i can throw 3/16 (4.8mm) or 1/8 (3.2) mm pivot pin links to you
