amateurstuntman Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 The brains that he bought to make keyboards work are the wrong size for the keyboard brain holders he already has. Mini USB B and Micro USB B can't die soon enough. USB-C is the future. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 OK. I got the mini/micro USB bit tbh. My phone came with USB c and I was displeased as I had tons of other leads, but I soon came around and it is truly the future. *badger*s to iPhone lightning cables which fail all the time too.

Hedganian Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm fine with a new innovation - but we'd only just managed to get everyone to standardise on micro USB and then they had to change it. But, of course, not everyone has adopted the new type of connector, so now we're back where we started... Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 It is ace though, you don't struggle to locate it. I've managed to jam micro USB leads in upside down in 'heavily used' ports before now and sworn at them when they didn't charge... Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 See the photos. She's just too big. New one on left. Old one on right. As you can see it looks almost identical apart from the physical size, hence how I managed to screw up this badly. Didn't even consider that there would be different connector options. I was labouring under the misapprehension that it was a standard. New one underneath the old one. Them thar holes should line up. New pro micro above the space for the proper pro micro. If it was about 5mm narrower I could make it fit with some janky soldering of the pins at an angle. Sadly it's just not possible. anyone want to buy some USB Mini Pro Micros?

shmook Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yet you post those images with what appears to be (and speculating here) sidecut snips. So just cut them down to size? Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 ... You see how them thar holes are at the EDGE of the board? See how if I cut the board the holes wouldn't be there anymore? that'd be known as a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Meh. Surely bludgeoning it with a hammer makes it good? Most of my problems in life involve smacking things until they comply. Try it, it's... liberating! Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I melted the old ones. That's why there's bits missing. That was fun. Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I can justify anything. Got any jobs going? I'm supposed to be buying an M60 off a mate. Have sold a gun to put the cash towards it and free up some space and now he says he can't find it. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 No offense intended, but I don't know how anyone copes with joining the police these days. Same applies to the forces too, though. My cousin joined the regulars less than 2 years ago and he's already talking about leaving. He's in the Lancers and they've not even seen a tank for 9 months, don't even have any land rovers now. It's ridiculous... Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I don't know how you lose a machine gun. Apparently he thought it was in the walk in closet, his mum says it was put into the ottoman. It's in neither, nor is it in his shed. At this point I'm wondering whether he just got cold feet on the deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 If he wants to go back on the deal, that's one thing - no need to lie about it though. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 He probably doesn't want to anger you. He shouldn't lie, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Feeling a tad better after boozing with some funny ladies I know. Danced my *albartroth* orf. T was 7am. It's been years. I needed thos. Thanks for the support, gentlemen. Now if only the booze didn't liquify the contents of my bowels, that'd be great. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
