what are the chances this actually works for dual link? https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10002805/1209001-displayport-male-to-dvi-female-adapter-cable

everything else is 10x price, but fasttech is usually honest

@kontroll did they do 1600p or 120Hz?

@kontroll thanks, I'll snag it then

LCDs still can't touch plasmas on blacks and latency

@Deleted User 18650 powered or normal AAs?

you can recharge both, but lithiums are pickier

buying lithiums in canada is a PITA :(

might buy some refurb laptop batteries to shuck

they won't ship to me

canvape.ca is basically it

@Cole as long as they don't use airmail it might work

ayy, I've killed a few unprotected cells already

but a lot of the new chemistries are hard to find protected

my friend made me solarforce L2M and it's pretty gr8

nice and warm with a nice flood for riding my bike

tbh with bikes it more about optics, especially in the city

I've had cars flash their high beams when light aimed to high

@fireglow on what

oh yeah, pretty crazy

shame chinks can't into optics though

these cost way too much

same thing here

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

tbf I picked up a "merino baselayer" from costco

and wore it under my pants all last winter

be the change you want to see

my l2M is all I need

I just need more cells

take up hobby to use your tools

good stuff

I've been using amazon basic cells

tbf it just encourages shitposting

sometimes I pretend my powerful flashlight i a lightsaber when it's foggy

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

and so cheaply :D

GT?

is that the pringles can sized one?

My hinges for my T420 came in today.

definitely taken out of a junked laptop

but I can't really complain for $15

2 hinges

basically

pretty much what I was expecting though

proper NOS ones are like 80$, it''s ridiculous

the stalk that's attached to the panel snapped from the bottom

and the bottom part pushes out the plastic when it moves

it's been living in the dock for a while now

when I'm asking for a refund should I just put in the max amount and have the seller try to lower it?

@Matthew that sounds reasonable

would "model not as described" be the correct issue?

I'm new to this

nope

thanks <:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

thers play in the movement, but mostly witness marks

theres marking from where fasteners were inserted

and theres marks where the panels was fitted to the stalks

are chink batteries any good?

nah, 18650 based laptop batteries

@Comfy#1404 I'm also looking for a T420 battery, which did you get?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/70++/2024567811.html these are pricey for chink batteries but still half the cost of OEM ones here https://www3.lenovo.com/ca/en/quitjewingme/p/0A36303#0A36303

was it at least filthy cheap?

<:thinkjojo:333980344044879872> why must batteries be so pricey

ayy

I need those too

but chinks won't ship to canada

so it's basically amazon.ca or canvape.ca for me

did they just MS paint their logo over an OEM battery?

gotta get a PowerPC workstation http://women-and-dreams.blogspot.ca/2017/11/apple-power-macintosh-g5-flame-on.html

gentoo will compile for it your brave enough

nah, their cheap AF used

they use 600W for an architecture no one cares about anymore

copy pastaing from the blogpost

hell no

it came up HN ~a week ago

it pretty much summarizes trying to use one of those toasters these days

good choice

gotta browse the top tier sites

off HN or plebbit?

fair enough

at least you have a proper static IP

don't you just need a dynamic DNS program?

or are you hard coding IPs?

hmm

my up speed is so shit it's not even worth setting up a VPN

100Mbps up is pretty good

canada has shit telecom though

I'm getting like .5Mbps up :(

I can seed public shit 24/7 and still only upload a few gigabytes a day

now it's mostly media off private trackers

soulseek still exists

I just use comfy small private trackers that aren't ass holes about ratio whoring

@Obolon Prime do the thing

my seedbox has less processing power than a ras pi :/

because mine has sata3 and a gigabit

and it runs out of date arch linux

https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home it's this abomination

*gigabit ethernet

it's a shitty nas with linux
