  • For reference, earths escape velocity at the surface is about 11 km/s. I’m not sure how quickly the cap would slow down, but if it hadn’t been vaporised it surely would be orbiting the sun right now.

    Also, the escape velocity from the Sun at Earths distance would be 16.6 km/s on top of earths speed, so depending on the direction it could’ve escaped the suns orbit as well.

    But it was most likely vaporised



  • Compliant mechanisms are cool, I used it ones before and it works quite well. If you can get everything lined up properly that is.

    All you really have to do is give the button a cutout, which is supported on only one side. Make the supporting area not too thick so it’s easy to press (1 or 2 mm should be good I think) and give the button some shape that makes it easy to feel by hand.

    It’s a bit difficult to give any real tips without any pictures, but that’s the gist of what you need to do











  • Why do you have to wait a week to use the bootloader?

    Its a software limitation, you can’t unlock the bootloader immediately. After a week you probably have stuff on the device so you might not want to unlock it anymore

    Or it might be a security thing so retailers can’t unlock stuff they sell so easily and put their own software on it
