I have a torn ribbon cable (the thin plastic kind in small electronics) that I need to solder back together, but the heat of the solder just melts the whole thing away before I can even attempt to solder it.
Any ideas on how to fix it? They don't sell replacements of these

If the CPU is detected by the motherboard that does not necessarily mean that no pins are bent right? I currently have a mobo that won't detect the RAM what are the possible causes of this?

thinking of moving my PC from a full tower to mid tower
pros and cons?
reason why is to get better airflow nothing more or less , one non-reason just a personal thing is my case(phanteks enthoo pro) looks like a dinosaur to the newer cases out and the back panel got a small dent from moving it around once

I haven't had any luck myself but I've considered exposing the wire parts, clamping the ends together so they touch, and then heating the clamp hot enough to fuse the plastic together. No clue how well it could be made to work.

It could still be a bent pin. You could also have bad RAM, or a bad board. Obviously try reseating the RAM first since that's stupid simple. Then remove and check the CPU. Try the RAM in another machine and/or try other RAM. Otherwise it's probably the board, in which case you either just use the remaining working slots or buy a new board.

who here works with IT? Do you think this high tide will go on for long? I'm thinking of going into it, but with how trendy it has become I'm afraid it might be a mistake
Most importantly, will remote jobs with decent pay continue being a thing?

Damn she would have been perfect like 5 years before the picture was taken.

Not a programmer, btw.
Would it be possible to create a decent multi-platform optical disc authoring software (aka disc "burning" software) using only C?
Is there a massive difference in how each OS handles discs?
It just seems weird to me that there's no complete multi-platform open-source program for such a thing even when optical discs are (sadly) quickly becoming obsolete tech nowadays.

Your full tower Phanteks should have great airflow. No one can see the back panel.
What do you mean by 'IT' and 'Remote Jobs'?
Most telecommunication/networking jobs overseas pay great if you are working for the government/military. Almost all of them are over six figures, and tax free, all expenses (food, lodging, gym) paid for.
