@jelora NinjaTek a un TPU Chinchilla en 75A, et j'ai lu qu'il y avait aussi Recreus Filaflex en 60A. Mais ils sont aussi plus difficiles à utiliser, car hyper flexibles.
Une idée que je pense à tester un jour: imprimer un moule et utiliser un silicone liquide à verser dedans. Mais pas si évident, car il faudrait idéalement mettre sous vide pour dégazer et éliminer toute bulle, et il y aurait un peu de nettoyage à faire pour couper les excédents aux points d'injection et d'évacuation de l'air...

@jelora Salut @jelora. Il me semble que tu en avais faite une pour un projecteur film. Ca avait marché, elle tenait le coup malgré la chaleur?

@nina_kali_nina And switching from Intel to Apple Silicon is also a big concern. Performances improvements seem to be great, but i use VMWare Fusion a lot and i'm uncertain of what i will loss because of new CPU. Being unable to upgrade the RAM anymore also means you have to anticipate future needs when buying new Mac, and repairability is lower (even if, to be honest, i never had a failing RAM yet).

@nina_kali_nina Oh i see! Good arguments. I'm also against AI, and since my 2019 MacBook Pro is at the very end of Tahoe's compatibility list, it will probably become unsupported with the next major release.
For the moment i still use Sonoma, because i'm a little afraid that some important things could break with next releases, like LTFS (and i now know that Firewire support is gone). But i will probably update. If i don't actively use AI related things, i hope they don't run in the background.🤞

@nina_kali_nina Why ditching macOS?

@nina_kali_nina Probably a stupid question, but have you tried CTRL+Z to undo ?

@tubetime And i've just read that molasses seems to contain some chelating agent working on rust, and is much cheaper, maybe something to explore...
Also, instructions say that a dry film of Evaporust can inhibit oxydation, but "upto 14 days" only. So some other kind of post-treatment should preferably be used to durably prevent rust to come back. What do you use for computer/electronic equipment parts?

@tubetime Looking at Evaporust's instructions of use, they say "not fully immersed (...) can experienced etching at the water line", which could possibly suggest that at least a little base metal could be attacked. But the recommanded 24/48h treatment time also suggest it is rather weak/diluted, so a slow attack base. SDS from Radiospares also says it contains aliphatic acid, and acetic acid is an aliphatic acid. But website talks about selective chelation of iron oxyde + sulfur compound.

@tubetime How do you clean rust and then protect those parts? I use white vinegar to clean, and is something like WD40 is good enough to protect from rust to come back?

@tracketpacer I realize that in french we don't really have a different name for both parts. Google translates even return the same "prise de courant" translation for plug, socket or jack! Which is not even a completely correct translation, since it is assuming it a power connection, rather than audio/video/data... And i have to say that for me, english not being my native language, plug and socket are really not intuitive naming.
