I've been using the laptop for like 3 years now all over the world
I dropped it and it's dented and stuff
how is it holding up
and for the past month or so it's been making whining noises on the fan
which I tried to clean with compressed air
and WD40
and I tried using a screwdriver to see if any dust is in there
but it stopped working
and now my laptop's CPU throttled and doesnt work anymore
since it's way too hot
otherwise i've been using it for years
it's still a great little laptop
and aftermarket parts is cheap as dirt
how much power is USB-C allowed to draw
im looking at docks and hubs
can it really power all those USB devices
USB-C can allow up to 100W
hmm why does anyone need more than 10,000 mAh for power banks
they're so slim and small nowadays
I haven't charged my battery in 2 weeks and there's still enough to charge my phone 3 times
Can your 10k mAh battery do that
yea actually
3000 mAh (average phone battery size) times 3 is 9000 mAh
>implying 100% efficiency
Isn’t it less than 10k mAh because they state the capacity at like 3V instead of 5V?
Not even taking efficiency into account
you don't state ah at a voltage
that's why it's amp hours
and what voltage do you think the phone's battery is
I know jackshit about electrical engineering, let me try to find that one blog post I read.
yeah, but that's half the story
inside the phone it's converted back to 4.2 or less, whatever the charging voltage is
so you're drawing less current from the power bank at 5V
main losses are inefficiency
not that those efficiencys matter that much as long as our phone hardware/software is as inefficient as it is
but "mah performance" over longevity of etc etc
(that being said current chips are darn low voltage when you start playing with em its just that the software is shitty "we dont care" coded mess what does not let phones etc sleep properly nor act "nice" )
