to the battery autists

what are some good, durable AAA replacements?

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

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

Aaa replacements ? Try rc-batteries

A cable to your power point..

^ that too

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

Just make proper circuitry

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

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

Why not housefire solution?

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

and plug my LEDs into the 5V out

Just throw powerbank between there for buffer

":D"

No

@porco 4chans back, you cam shitpost away now

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

it's too late now

Was probably low quality b8 anyway

Old atx supply is protected "student style"

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

I do too

Basically everyone does until master and stuff starts to look fancy

Everyone becomes apple FeelsBadMan.jpg

just the normies

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

@porco 5V should be no issue

since batteries are usually over 1.5V

depending on chemistry

fresh batteries can be over 1.6V

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

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

yeah it depends on chemistry

it differs per battery

but a decently designed product should have no issue with that

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

Looks like this guy was responsible for the freeze

0 respect for the people who need to clean up that shit
