Yup, just plugged it in there. The internal resistance of these cells was high enough that it limited the current somewhere between 3-8A. And this was done only briefly as these cells got quite…warm.

Meth for your lunch nap. Quad espresso for your nighty nights.

Don’t know if it is fully optional, but Star Craft 2 installs on low res first, allowing you to boot the game in low res before the full install has completed.

I remember recovering dead 18650 cells from laptop batteries and “restoring” them with a 12V modded PC PSU. Quite a few of them actually started working again and had some capacity for a few tens of additional cycles. Those cells were never left unattended in a charger and they were always only used in a device you could chuck in a moment’s notice.

10/10 do not recommend.

Don’t forget audio quality drop when switching from audio only to audio + microphone. Shit drives me up the wall.

Considering that even the hybrid cars made by car manufacturers themselves are heavier than their ICE counterparts, I don’t think that by retrofitting an older car you’ll get a better result.

For example, 2024 Hyundai Tucson curb weights:

Heaviest ICE: 3663 lbs

Lightest hybrid: 3692 lbs

Lightest plugin hybrid: 4115 lbs

The biggest issue with an EV conversion is the weight of the batteries. For a lot of passenger cars, adding 500kg of batteries maxes out or even exceeds the vehicle’s gross weight.

I’d tell you one, but it got stuck on the event horizon of yo momma

Logitech m330 with a single AA Ni-MH battery. Have been using the same battery for the last 4 months, wondering when will it die.

I also have a smart charger for the batteries, so I can just keep them in there without the risk of damaging the batteries. The moment the battery dies, I’ll just take another one and swap it quicker than it would take me to find a usb-c charger.

Eh?

Luckily it doesn’t auto connect, otherwise I would have sent it back

Or BT controller soldered onto mobo

I mounted it on a wall before I found it out. Neighbors haven’t bothered to connect to it once, so I haven’t risked accidentally breaking it during dismount. It is scary enough to adjust it on it’s mount, considering that most of it is a thin and fragile oled panel.

LG C series OLEDs are a pain. If you connect them to wifi, they’ll give you Apple TV and other “promotions” as pop up notifications at random times.

These TVs also have Bluetooth which cannot be turned off and any device can try to connect to it, giving you a non intrusive pop up of 20% of your screen area.

And their customer support is absolute garbage. In my area, you’ll have to call them a few times before anyone picks up, then there is a 50% chance that the clerk doesn’t speak English nor your local language. Sometimes you’ll give up on calling them, as no one responds. You’ll be happy to know that they will call you back in about a month.

Rule of thumb when buying electronics (or anything for that matter) is buy it cheap, buy it twice.

Nervously looks at the 10€/TB refurbished drives that just arrived

Imo untested always means dead. Especially when it is something easy to test - like a laptop

Most of the gold’s price comes from it being used in jewelry and as an investment. Less than 7% of gold is used by the tech industry

Took 3 weeks of vacation around midsummer, then another two weeks at the end of the summer and I still need to use another week or it will expire.

We are allowed to carry over “only” 5 weeks of PTO.

Kidneys rock! As long as they don’t stone, that is.

There should also be a 30sth page doc about how the e-voting machines are set up, configured and secured somewhere. But it is in Estonian and I can’t be arsed to find it now
