to the battery autists

2018-03-16 09:18:18 UTC  

what are some good, durable AAA replacements?

2018-03-16 09:18:35 UTC  

I have some kitchen LEDs and they just die every two weeks

2018-03-16 09:18:57 UTC  

but even worse is, after a week they only give roughly half the light

2018-03-16 09:19:36 UTC  

Aaa replacements ? Try rc-batteries

2018-03-16 09:19:43 UTC  

A cable to your power point..

2018-03-16 09:19:55 UTC  

^ that too

2018-03-16 09:20:11 UTC  

I considered that, taking a phone charger since it gives 5 V and 3 * AAA are 4.5

2018-03-16 09:20:50 UTC  

Just make proper circuitry

2018-03-16 09:23:37 UTC  

Sounds like work, just hooking up a spliced USB cable to the leads sounds good enough

2018-03-16 09:23:46 UTC  

I prefer doing some half assed solution "the Italian way"

if I want to be that funny, I can also just take an old ATX power supply

2018-03-16 09:25:09 UTC  

and plug my LEDs into the 5V out

2018-03-16 09:25:27 UTC  

Just throw powerbank between there for buffer

2018-03-16 09:25:49 UTC  

":D"

2018-03-16 09:26:06 UTC  

No

2018-03-16 09:26:07 UTC  

@porco 4chans back, you cam shitpost away now

2018-03-16 09:26:22 UTC  

I forgot what meme I wanted to post in the firefox thread

2018-03-16 09:26:26 UTC  

it's too late now

2018-03-16 09:26:42 UTC  

Was probably low quality b8 anyway

2018-03-16 09:26:44 UTC  

Old atx supply is protected "student style"

2018-03-16 09:27:19 UTC  

I unironically used old ATX supplies for a lot of things as a student

2018-03-16 09:27:36 UTC  

I do too

2018-03-16 09:28:15 UTC  

Basically everyone does until master and stuff starts to look fancy

2018-03-16 09:31:26 UTC  

Everyone becomes apple FeelsBadMan.jpg

2018-03-16 09:33:11 UTC  

just the normies

2018-03-16 09:34:23 UTC  

to be fair I had an apple phase because of the hardware. From 2012 to 2016 I used a Macbook Pro, the first generation with retina. A ton of ports,16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD, i7 - it was great, I just didn't use MacOS at all but installed GNU/Linux on it

2018-03-16 09:34:43 UTC  

@porco 5V should be no issue

2018-03-16 09:34:54 UTC  

since batteries are usually over 1.5V

2018-03-16 09:34:57 UTC  

depending on chemistry

2018-03-16 09:35:05 UTC  

fresh batteries can be over 1.6V

2018-03-16 09:35:08 UTC  

I would have kept the set up of Apple hardware with Linux if it wasn't for two things:
- new macbooks can't run Linux anymore, it's locked down af
- no ports

2018-03-16 09:35:29 UTC  

@Goz3rr I thought Alkaleaks were 1.5ish in the beginning and dropped to 1.2 pretty fast

2018-03-16 09:35:46 UTC  

yeah it depends on chemistry

2018-03-16 09:35:50 UTC  

it differs per battery

2018-03-16 09:36:02 UTC  

but a decently designed product should have no issue with that

2018-03-16 09:36:34 UTC  

>chink LED
>decently designed product
I'll just try with no expectation

2018-03-16 09:36:47 UTC  

Looks like this guy was responsible for the freeze
