@ProjectPhysX@mast.hpc.social @niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be Buy up a lot of the stock, quickly test which ones have the fewest memory errors, keep those, sell the rest back into the market. Kinda like depleted uranium, where most of the rare good nuclei are picked out.

@cwebber@social.coop unfortunately the PM driver/firmware is broken on this particular SoC, so when the system wakes from S0ix the SATA controller will be locked up GLHF

@timmc@better.boston 2/2 At the end of the day, some of that $100+ fee the lab charges is profit, the rest cost. If you want to beat it, you either innovate to reduce the cost, compromise on *something* that costs money, or bet on them having a large margin.

@timmc@better.boston This is probably the point where you should consult someone who actually works in #analyticalChemistry and environmental sample analysis. Maybe XRF is not the best route here? If building a small lab and taking the samples to said lab would be an option, a whole list of other instruments and techniques are available. IDK how much an atomic absorption spectrometer goes for these days, maybe that's an option. 1/2

@timmc@better.boston Hmm, maybe? Some highly soluble salt (nitrate usually) of a less toxic, element that has an emission peak close to the lead peak you are measuring could perhaps be used as a proxy.

@timmc@better.boston 2/2 Plus, deriving an acutal concentration from the XRF return, instead of just a yes/no would require careful technique. I guess you could take a sample, put it in a plastic cup in some reproducible geometry, mix+measure 3 times, add 1 shot of a known concentration of lead nitrate, mix+measure 3 more times, add a second shot, mix+measure 3 times, fit a line on the lead peak heights vs. lead shot, then use that to estimate how much was in there originally. (standard addition method)

@timmc@better.boston I would not consider using an XRF gun on any sample that is not a literal chunk of metal with a shiny clean surface, unless it was letting me see the raw spectrum. Even then...XRF does not have particularly great penetration depth, you are mostly testing whatever is on the line-of-sight surface. So if your sample is not homogenous it is less reliable. 1/2

@timmc@better.boston Handheld XRF analyzers have a rather mixed reputation regarding the data they produce. Unless you can get a model that outputs the actual spectrum recorded, rather than whatever the onboard software decides the spectrum means, this might be a bad idea.
