>>> ROCK64 require +5V 3A power supply with Type H 3.5mm OD/1.35mm ID barrel ‘coaxial’ type plug. The power supply available in PINE64 store.

I don't recall the power for just the board; just the suggested power like Tervy says.

That's totally inaccurate to the board's actual use, since it takes into account maximum draw from all of the available USB ports, too.

Of course the Pi 4 doesn't burn fifteen fucking watts at full use.

sure but youl be using that to calculate

not optimal scenario

so you get free safety margins if nothing else

Sure, I just wish someone would measure the actual draw. I've only ever found quotes for the suggested draw from the spec sheet.

XU4 has recommended 5V4A and (5v6A when usb3 HDD)

Actual draw tho <:pepeturt:499291994649133067> someday

Hello, I'm a retard. I got everything I needed for a diy solar panel, decided against buying tabbing wire because lol it's just a nickel strip. Tried doing it with 0.5mm copper wire, shit was fuck, too thick, pain in the ass to tin the wire, too stiff, cells broke. Ok, wanted to do it quick, bought a nickel strip locally. Of course it was too hard to do proper research and it's a plain nickel strip, not a tinned one. Too wide, too, so I had to cut it with scissors. Managed to tab 4 cells out of 36 needed before ragequitting and ordering proper tabbing wire from China

so yeah time to get that amp-meter and strap it to that TV

to check the thing

I just wanted a fucking solar panel for summer

Now it's gonna be ready for winter

be cheap get cheap

:D

Yeah

Since it was relatively simple to tin the nickel wire, I think I won't have many problems with tabbing cells with proper wire

So now I'm eyeing bigger cells

Not like the sun stops existing in the winter.

Can get a surprising amount of energy from solar panels in the winter.

muh solar power

oh look

the boomer fears renewable energy

ghostwriter.

@androidcrawler im all for renewable energy but allocating huge plots of land just for solar panels is a massive waste of space

To be fair how renewable are solar panals compared to nuclear

the efficiency is increasing

the tech is just too new and expensive to make, only reason people get them is because of massive government grants

nuclear is good for a constant reliable source

I'm not making a solar house or anything jesus what the fuck

but solar is better for long term i think

Just 2 15W panels

its not efficiency issue solely its the panel lifetime issue too

And yeah, maybe in the US where there are barren tracts of wasteland that are sunny and warm but atvthat point the sheer acreage is going to destroy the suprisingly fragile ecosystem

like wtf is this

you wanna use it for something else?

thats solar farm on areas where its actualy profitable

(for example death valley)

Solars are not a waste of space if you just y'know put them on roofs

this @spaqin

not on roads tho

@Kimichiboi i do agree on that on most scenarios tho .. they should be forcing use of building roofs for it

Nature preserve, you start fuckong with water in that region and youre going to have a bad time.

we can replace the current glass on buildings with panels too

the next 10 years are going to be terrible for renewable energy

even more hit on the "glass solar panels" would be on the insulation they give while at it

@androidcrawler Transparent cells haven't broken the development-consumer wall yet

And that would be necessary once most roof space has been already taken

soon

the tech is still advancing, give it time

as no matter of energy is enough if we just throw it out due cheap design and insulation etc

Flat/angled in full sun vs horizontal with a time of exposure dependant on building orientation

but that fundamental change in humans will be harder to archieve than actual panels to do it :P

just rotate the building bro

european governments are trying/have banned nuclear energy and forcing everyone onto renewables by 2025 which is an impossible goal

>banning nulear

just fuck my shit up fam

what about those new generation reactors

@Tervy Fundamental change in humans is what's stopping nuclear power more than solar

what about muh thorium

Didnt they drop it because France told the eu to fuck off?

Thoriom powered cars on freakin' solar roadways

really?

@johnfrum link?

i mean nuclear power is perfect to "carry" us while renewables are built and researched and they are to carry us however long first fusion stuff gets build if ever

pfft

fusion

@androidcrawler Muh cucked government rather wants more coal plants and imported energy from france

cave man pls, anti matter is where its at

It's ridiculous how people are so anti-nuclear just because of Chernobyl etc, it just works

cause they don't understand nuclear physics

@Tervy exactly

a nulear reactor does not use the same shit as used in bombs

all they hear is nuclear and lose their shit

and nuclear waste from reactors can then be thrown to rebreeder reactors for more power and nice end-material

I remember this medical device

I want a depleted uranium knife

was called a nuclear imagaing something

remind me again how many people have died in nuclear power plant disasters in the last 10 years

but then they had to change it, cause tards were getting scared

((((1))))

Or a heavy ass enriched uranium knife, with a heavy ass enriched uranium sheath that together reach critical mass

Something something radiation from coal plants and from nuke plants btw

I dont keep up with euro news but france gets a major percentage from nuke plants and they are one of the larger economies so i would imagine they muscled it out. Belgium seems to be the main holdout against nuclear

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_energy_in_Belgium

One kills you when a collosal amount of fucknuggets fuck up hard, and the other kills you slowly but constantly

I fucking hate this country and old people

When hippies want more coal plants for muh climate

FUCKING HATE THEM SO GOD DAMN MUCH

Clean coal™

@Kimichiboi quite many lives have been ruined due nuclear power before and since chernobyl

this is why letting scientifically illiterate people vote should not be allowed

but so has coalmine etc killed people and ruined lifes but who keeps count when whole world depends on it

mandatory iq test to be allowed to vote tbh

Why is belgium so autistic about nukes?it looks like they are pretty much the only country that is pushing antinuclear shit.

they must have a special interest

no one can be that dumb

It's mainly the walloonians

it's always the french <:deletdis:560200664794398741>

Belgium is antinuclear yet has nuclear power plants

The french have like 60 plants tho

when we will get nuclears in pollackland smh

how about we pump the pollution from coal into the houses of those who love it so much

literally all coal

That are supposed to be phased out by 2025™

they can enjoy the clean coal that way

while the rest can use nuclear power

also, one mass extinction event happened cause a volcano ignited coal deposits in the past

@johnfrum

This is a shrine against atom in Poland

😂

Fucking old people and fucking religion

move old people into a special town

flood it with coal pollution

let them all die

>atomu cheekibreeku

At least I charge my phone with natural gas

but these day on politics its not knowledge that much anymore its just who ~~screams~~ reeeeees loudest on over the person who tries to talk sense

man when will we install a system of meritocracy

wasn't there a political movement about it some decades ago

Jesus I hope the old people in my country are too retarded to groom their children to replace them

"cause that would work"

It would be very unpopular

Also lots of young people get thier heads pumped with nonsense regarding nuclear too. You can argue it is old fears but the internet is still there.

being rational is not humanity's best suite

I'm conflicted on boomers, on one hand I love them but on the other they're just so fucking stiff in their way of thinking.

once you become stuck in the past

you are a dinosaur

and should be executed

tbh

- Adolf Hitler

I have learned that it is not old people thinking that's the problem

The thinking passes down

I jest but seriously

old people create fuck ups they don't have to live with

Boomers die out, but they will be replaced

problem is the lobbying money and no-responsibility stuff given to politicians

I redpill my friends and my family

I'm doing my part

lie and take bribes

based

just to get nexty year

well I gotta sleep now

I also try to educate people when i can

Kids learn from adults. No joke. Public schooling will be a shitshow forever and ever, unless everyone consciously chooses to go against shitting higher than own ass

but old people are the worst, they are too moronic or stubborn to listen

making lobbying forcibly public under 20 years in prison if its not published within week of the gift of any form

would probly take biiig part of this bullshit away

yea, lobbying is basically legal bribery

either they get helluva bolder and smarter so they dont get caught and push more ridiculous things

climate strikers have basically been brainwashed by boomer parents

or they get busted in process and fucked over

very sad to see

is that during lifetime

i need to see math on stuff like that due there is numerous ways they could actualy fuck that up

Manufactoring creates a lot of toxic byproducts

ahh nothing its >per KW<

And the cells themselves aren't recyclable

so comparing nuclear explosions to magnifying glass

But still, it's not as green as wind or geothermal

...

Sapharant afaik cells are recyclable but not business cost worth it

Which means they're landfilled, not put in a seperate warehouse until it's economically viable

problem being recycling needing to be "economicaly viable"

instead for the good

https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5_annex-iii.pdf

Economics are kind of a good way of saying its not environmentally viable with current methods tbh

https://lbda.net/4AJ.png

baffles me how many people lack the decency to carry their plastic bottles/bags to the nearest bin and instead throw them on the ground

I dont get it either, youre walking past it anyway, why are you just dropping it instead of holding onto 10 grams for 20 more feet?

and you get 15-40 cents back

its nice deal

huh?

you get a deposit on plastic bags?

(we get 15-40cents per bottle back when you recycle em to johnfrums)

and i think almost all our plastic bottles are recycable so poor people keep them at least from streets as they collect em

our government is now putting a deposit on plastic bottles like we already do with glass bottles

it's pretty based

Damn that is a lot of money comparative to here

Like max is 10 with glass bottles topping out at 20ish

i think its currently 15 from glass, 20 from small plastics bottles and 40 from large bottles

hell as kiddo i made couple hundred euros out of bottles as there was huge festival once a year in my hometown

and after it the place was flooded with beerbottles and what not

then there startted to be stupid adult "baseball clubs" etc who had "official deal with the place to collect em" to keep kids out and money for themselves

for glass bottles I know a couple of the breweries here will take your empty bottles and give you a discount on their beers in exchange

sure local lawyer but stop ot that shit in few years

but it was quite bullshit while it lasted

sounds like a pretty good job tbh assuming you collect 50ish bottles (as a kid ofc)

as kid it was usualy 100ish euros per haul (large black carbage bags full of heavy glass bottles and large plastic ones)

you could tolerably DRAG 2 bags and 3 if you macho-manned it out

some smarter kids (like me) made deal with local supermarket that 2 full large bags was 100 euros if filled to prim

nobody counted em it was honor-deal

they took the negatives what ever there was left if any

(most of time i think they won on the deal)

usualy you managed to get 1 to 2 hauls in day if lucky and fast

so 3 day event + afterparty beach event

you could make decent dosh

main reason why "adults" got interested from gathering the trash

I mean, as long as it keeps the streets clean.

(given 2 hauls a day needed REALLY good weather during whole event)

and its somehwat local tradition to throw the empty plastic and beer bottles on the grass for the gathering kids (at least back then it was)

tfw kept the 4 bottles of beer I got for FREE and in essence made 80 cents by returning them

we printing money here

so if you knew the group they luckily even hold the pile for you until you pass second time

ofc all the titties and stories you saw and heard was whole other bonus level to it :P

milkers 🙂

i wish making few hundred euros would be that easy these days :P

still upset we use the Euro

Germans have to literally pay banks to store their money because interest is so fucking low

hey at least you can still pay with cash in your trains for fuck sake

around here they changed even long distance trains to "card only"

what is largest piece of bullshit since they stopped selling tickets completly on short distance trains (pre-paid only)

but the trains never arrive here so what's the point of being able to pay with cash lol

privatize that shit

this years late trains centered around 30min late

https://lbda.net/eqG.png

thats only statistics from passenger trains

i wont show you even cargo stuff...

what am I looking at?

it shows you how succesfull they have been keeping their trains in time

30 minutes late and % shows how succesful lthey were avoiding that

it could be worse if you are some other train ... https://lbda.net/kM2.png

this month they have been late almost 20% on certain combos

(thats 30 minutes late if i show you 15 minutes late what is enough to skip connecting trains .. it become worse)

its midnight and tracks are pretty much empty

but still certain trains are +16 to +64 minutes late

and yes the API shows them weird way i know

i have just used to look at these i think

wish trains were a cheaper way of transport

sleeper trains are so comfy

yeah but they take so long

having that said even regional trains are fucking expensive

I went to an airshow earlier this year with the train, if it wasn't for the 16 euro event ticket I'd have to pay 40 euros for a retour

student-sale gets you -40% off of any train

one hour ride ffs

it used to be 50 but they lowered the deal

prices seem alright, here it's around 15 to go to brussels from antwerp and back

for adults my old work travel would have costed 60-120 depending on how early i know i was needed

I feel you on the sleeper train slowley dying.

:D

(plane flight was usualy 40 or 60 if i was on time

I really cant justify one and a half days if travel when I could get a flight cheaper and be done in 4 hours

id love to travel so long travels

https://www.seat61.com/

longest i have taken was special train what was from top of laplands tracks to helsinki

paid 80 happily from that sleeper seat (230 for average joes would have been the price)
