Nobody Cares: PRS

OK, I just used it on a video showing how to repair hotswap sockets and the summary was:



This doesn't include any details of the process, how to trace the keyboard matrix, how to set the broken socket back in place, or in fact anything that counts as a summary. It's mostly a rephrased version of the video description. There seems to be no content from the video itself. I rate this site as a complete fraud.

I played with the settings a bit and it gave me this

## Repairing a Hotswap Socket on a Mechanical Keyboard



This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to repair a damaged hotswap socket on a mechanical keyboard PCB, addressing issues like non-functional keys or entire rows/columns. It covers identifying the problem, necessary tools, and the repair process itself.



**Key Points:**



* **Identifying the Problem:** The video begins by explaining that a non-functional key, row, or column on a hotswap keyboard often indicates a damaged hotswap socket.

* **Tools Required:** The presenter lists the necessary tools for the repair:

* Soldering iron

* Solder

* Flux

* Solder wick or solder sucker

* Tweezers

* Multimeter (optional, for testing continuity)

* **Safety Precautions:** The video emphasizes the importance of safety when working with soldering equipment, including proper ventilation and handling of hot tools.

* **Diagnosis:** Before beginning the repair, visually inspect the hotswap socket for any obvious damage, such as bent pins or cracked solder joints. A multimeter can be used to test continuity between the switch pins and the PCB traces.

* **Removing the Damaged Socket (if necessary):** If the socket is severely damaged, it may need to be removed. This involves using a soldering iron and solder wick (or solder sucker) to remove the existing solder from the socket pins.

* **Cleaning the Pads:** After removing the socket, clean the pads on the PCB with a solder wick to remove any remaining solder.

* **Applying Flux:** Apply flux to the pads on the PCB to improve solder flow.

* **Soldering the New Socket:** Carefully align the new hotswap socket with the pads on the PCB and solder each pin to the corresponding pad. Ensure a good solder joint is formed.

* **Testing the Repair:** After soldering the new socket, test the key to ensure it is functioning correctly. Use a multimeter to check for continuity between the switch pins and the PCB traces.

* **Troubleshooting:** If the key still doesn't work, double-check the solder joints and look for any shorts or breaks in the PCB traces.



**Actionable Points:**



* Visually inspect the hotswap socket for damage.

* Use a multimeter to test continuity.

* Apply flux to improve solder flow.

* Ensure good solder joints are formed.

* Test the key after the repair.

* Double-check solder joints and PCB traces if the key still doesn't work.



**Key Takeaways:**



* Hotswap sockets can be repaired with basic soldering skills and tools.

* Proper diagnosis is crucial for identifying the problem.

* Cleanliness and good solder joints are essential for a successful repair.

* Safety precautions should always be followed when working with soldering equipment.

That's hallucinated. At no point in the video is there anything like "carefully align the new hotswap socket with the pads on the PCB and solder each pin to the corresponding pad. Ensure a good solder joint is formed."

The whole point to this repair is that the damage almost always destroys the pads and you have to jumper the socket to the next socket and diode in the matrix by row and column. There's a lot of explanation about how the keyboard matrix works that's missing in the "summary". That "summary" was hallucinated from all the repair tutorials in the training data.

Large language models are not safe to use for anything but entertainment.

Are you sure? Because a lot of government policy nowadays, IMPORTANT POLICY, is based on AI summaries. And people are saying, a lot of people are saying it's the BEST policies they've ever seen! Take that, realist Liberal!

Downtown Houston has something like that, albeit a bit smaller, and it's there to avoid the heat and humidity.

No offense, but the surefire way to avoid the heat and humidity in Houston is my policy: stay the hell out of Houston and the rest of Texas.

Houston has bayous and walks along them, I used to work in a building right next to the jogging track on Buffalo Bayou. I still didn't go out when it was hot.

Houston is actually quite notorious among people who care about good city design.

HOUSTON NOT GOOD FOR WALKING OR BIKING OR TRANSIT ☹️

You could say Houston relates to (some) urbanists in the same way Joe Chill relates to Batman.

Okay, I can see why you wouldn't go out there when it was hot: there's nowhere to go!

It looks like a glorified playground where people can walk or ride a bike to drive in circles. There's also not that much shade, and much of it comes from the highways looming over the park. And of course, all of that concrete and asphalt maximizes the heat island effect.

This is not a place designed for everyday use, but an area located between main artery roads that is prone to flooding and couldn't be used for anything else, so it was turned into a ghetto for pedestrians and cyclists.

Real infrastructure that actually gets you from one location to another would look more like this:


And this brings us back to the concept of Third Places. Because in the second video, you can see transportation hubs, various types of residential areas, businesses, cafes and restaurants being connected by a scenic bicycle route.

I just went to WalMart. Got 2000 steps and a cabbage.

NO! Bad Kami! Don't shop there, you need to stiff us Americans any chance you can. /me googles. Loblaw's or Great Tiger instead? Really, anything you can do to put a thumb in the eye of American companies, I want you to do it. At least as long as we are led by Nativist Neo-fascist morons. We are no longer the well meaning asshole friends from across the border. Our government is actively evil.

You should see the road conditions. Holy shit.

I’m going to make no carb cabbage chips.

And fuck Loblaw’s.

There's Aldi. They're German owned and probably have cabbage. $2.25 / 3 lbs at my closest store.

No separate bike/pedestrian pathways? Dangerous!

Brazen stolen off of Democratic Underground:

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude, spotted a woman in a boat below and shouted to her: “Excuse me, can you help me?
I promised a friend I’d meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

The woman consulted her portable GPS and shouted back, “You’re in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You’re at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

The man rolled his eyes and yelled, “You must be a Democrat."

“I am,” replied the woman. “How did you know?”

“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information. Frankly, you haven’t been much help to me.”

The woman smiled and yelled, “You must be a Republican.”

“I am,” shouted the balloonist. “How did you know?”

“Well,” said the woman, “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are thanks to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now it’s all my fault.”

Only 6000? Must have been a mini Ikea or something if you didn't get lost inside the labyrnth for all eternity.
