@Cad if you look at the laptops a lot of them aren't actually running old processors

(lenovo is Chinese for example)

Good OEM's don't do it either

E.g. TongFanf

Aka mechrevo

Lol wait ill admit I was wrong there

Their website hasn't been updated since 2016 so I saw that and wondered why TF they were selling 6th gen

Cringe

I can't read

I bought M1 screws

They are small aas fuck

I mean

Rate my very big M6 screws

In my big hand

Did the same thing recently. I'm now the proud owner of a stack of A2 Lite lenses, and a broken A2.

Oor

Oof

Too small?

Has anyone used those kind of automatic watering devices? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33004913154.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000014.13.72c3396bswxOvr&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.13338.128206.0&scm_id=1007.13338.128206.0&scm-url=1007.13338.128206.0&pvid=80b24b39-dd12-46a0-a7c5-cc404161b5ad

I feel like those 'low tech' things might be more reliable than cloud connected xi jinping social credit system approved systems

But unsure

Also it's for decoration plants not food ones so I fortunately won't get cancer from it

@Mereck basic valve+hose with smol holes in it

If you wanna go full primitive

Thought about it as well but I'll have to build a controller of some sort

It'll be for automated watering while I'm out (for work or vacation)

Nah, it's not about going primitive but more about reliability

@Sapharanth Barely, and the LED isn't cut-out. LED sticks through the glass on the A2.

(just remove the m. at the start of the URL and it switches to desktop version)

As for that, I already thought of a slightly more complicated but probably a bit safer method using an aquarium water pump

A bit more costy but second hand is sufficient for that (since those devices are designed to run 24/7) and it will avoid having to puncture a bucket (with the additional point of failure for water-proofing)

(around me I can find those pumps for less than 10€)

But then it'll almost cost me the same... 10$ for the socket timer, 10$ for the pump, 10$ for hoses and such...

Hi guys

Any of you ordered a decent usb-c dock

lately ?
