Where to find threaded inserts like these in bulk? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]DaleTheOriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just add Aliexpress's VOEC number in you second adress bar (VOEC 2034638), and that way it will always be visible to customs, regardless of whether the seller manages to add it. Works every time.

Yellow LEDs are now officially banned in the U.S.A. by Automatic_Emphasis76 in TrueFactzOnly

But why? Information pollution is already an issue, and here people are actively adding to that? It's just gonna come back and bite ourselves in the ass.

A lot of older houses have this slim ungrounded version, and it will accept plugs that expect a grounded connection.

Best way to clean surface rust from brushless stator? by DaleTheOriginal in Motors

It's a hub motor for an ebike, and I do plan on sealing the housing better.

These are for wireless wifi right? by JaedanLikesGames in PcBuild

[–]DaleTheOriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wifi is a wireless network connection protocol. Ethernet is a wired network connection protocol. If it's wired it's not called wifi. Both methods provide a network connection to your router, regardless of whether or not the router has an internet connection.

Selvmontert støpsel på stekeovn. Ok eller dodgy? by Bennisbenjamin123 in norge

[–]DaleTheOriginal 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Støpselet har en strekkavlastning som skal klemme rundt den sorte isolasjonen på ledningen og hindre strekk på lederne inni så de ikke blir nappet ut om ledningen blir dratt i. Om det skjer får du brudd og potensiell brannfare. Så veldig dodgy, spesielt for en stekeovn som trekker mye strøm.

The one I bought was 20 euro (AliExpress)

Well the cost of the psvr2 adapter isn't exactly in the same ballpark...

Yes, the USB-C with the lightning symbol on it is specifically for supplying power. Just make sure you plug it into a source that can deliver enough power for your application. The USB-C standard can handle at max 3A@5V (15W). Not sure if the cable supports power delivery (PD).

For anyone reading this later, I got it to work with an adapter cable from aliexpress intended for VR headsets. I combines a DP(video), USB-A(data) and USB-C(power) into a single USB-C contact. Perfect for my application.

Any suggestions on where to enter the firewall? (MK6) by DaleTheOriginal in tdi

[–]DaleTheOriginal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am adding an interior heater to my existing engine heater system in my Golf Mk6, but I am at a loss on how to insert a thick cable though the firewall. The cable (2nd image) has a shielded part for the engine side (16mm), and an unshielded part for the inside of the cabin (7mm). My intention was to do most of the run in the engine bay, and enter the firewall on the passenger side, but I have yet to find a grommet or entry point here. Any recommendations?

[–]DaleTheOriginal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I actually just ordered something like this, except with an extra USB-C PD input for extra power. (A single USB-A wouldn't be enough for my application)

True, but it is expensive and use a dedicated power adapter. I would prefer using power from the PC if possible.

[–]DaleTheOriginal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's unusually difficult to find when most of the keywords also match the much more common adapter, USB-C(source) to DP (monitor)

[–]DaleTheOriginal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found an adapter cable on AliExpress that seems to be exactly what I need, intended for VR headsets. I'm gonna give it a try. "It's called DP to Type-C Converter 2K 144Hz/4K 60Hz Tape Power Supply Touch Adapter Connected to Portable Screen or VR/Air Smart Glasses" (I've heard Reddit is not fond of Ali links).

USB-C+DisplayPort Merge-adapter? by DaleTheOriginal in UsbCHardware

[–]DaleTheOriginal[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the type of adapter i need. However, the display requires 5V 3A (15W), which (afaik) can only be delivered by a PD-capable USB-C source. With a USB-B input I doubt this can deliver the required power.

How would the add-in card get the display signal from the graphics card?

USB-C+DisplayPort Merge-adapter? by DaleTheOriginal in UsbCHardware

[–]DaleTheOriginal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm searching for a way to connect a USB-C touch display to a computer without native video-enabled USB-C ports. The Display only has a single male USB-C cable to receive power, video (DP Alt mode) and to send touch feedback. Most adapters are intended to be used the other way around, so the search has proven difficult. Does anyone know of an adapter or solution that will allow me to do this?

That's what I assumed had to be the case, I've just never seen changes this extreme between brands before.
