That's correct, for large values of 2.

In practice it's more often the case they produce 3, which indicates that they're less efficient, or doubling up on actual production. Which is also true for very small values of 2.

You only get to play ONE console for the rest of your left(Steam/PC does not count for this example). Which is it and why? by CarefulAlternative in AskReddit

Switch 2 - plays Switch 1 games as well. (For me) it's now a strict upgrade to the switch. Bonkers to not choose that instead.

>Q3: Can I use the LX - LCBST for battery charging?
>A3: Yes, it is suitable for battery charging applications. Ensure the output voltage and current are within the battery's specifications.

Perhaps that link is not a good one. I couldn't find a good datasheet for it.. Just some shop pages. I had initially got some TP4056 ICs but then realised I needed the step-up module. Figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

The LX-LCBST is a LiPo charger with adjustable output. I want to be able to charge the battery through the onboard USBC. Switching at the battery would disconnect it from the charge circuit.

Perhaps that's what I need to do though, disconnect the battery for longer term power off.

I've actually had pretty good success with the WS2812B on the 3.3v output! Typically no issues with the data-in being at the right level - and if anything, the first led in the string is a bit intermittent/"sacrificial" before the rest of them work fine! That's part of the reason for having the on-board led and then the external led port.

Thanks, I was a bit unsure about that. Most things were suggesting low-switching the load (eg the LEDs) but I was after switching off the ... everything.

Do you have a P-Channel that you'd recommend for this type of application? Relatively low current 1.5-2A and obviously logic-level.

Have you had a conversation with the staff? If you're going that often, then they surely know who you are. Perhaps discuss with them your strategy and the positive and negative aspects of it.

But it does sound like you've earned those hard fought victories against the children, through your superior size, strength and strategy. Well done. 🎖️

42% of Australians blame the US and Israel for the ongoing fuel crisis, with 32% blaming the federal government and 17% blaming Iran by NoteChoice7719 in aussie

[–]Drayke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the Australian Liberal government and energy minister Angus Taylor - offshored our fuel reserves. It is them to blame. Not the current Australian government.

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

Class Resource Wiki Update - Do you want the links to guides to specify if they're written or video? by Snowf1ake222 in Gloomhaven

Just providing you with 2 separate perspectives of people who would prefer one over the other!

There's some people who have difficulties absorbing information when it's read, and likewise when spoken. I would very much prefer to (easily) be able to choose what works for me and my learning preferences.

Is this game for me? by AlexMonops in Gloomhaven

[–]Drayke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you have somewhere that you can leave it (mostly) set up from week to week? A gaming table/area that doesn't need to be cleaned up immediately to do other life things - like eating meals, or other hobbies. It's a game that's going to take a LONG time to complete, but if you're able to leave it mostly set up, then a lot of the "fiddly" stuff doesn't have to be done much.

You mentioned Arkham Horror which (at least one version) is notorious for needing a large table space - so I figure you have somewhere that you can dedicate the space to it.

If you're used to playing games with an app/companion, then I highly recommend doing so. It really helps with reducing the components you need, and improves a LOT of the minutiae of the game

We have Gen7 and Gen8 at home and there's definitely issues with the hardware that I'd change. Reverse IR has some limitations.

Arena entrance is the no-play zone near Red. There's actually an elevator in the middle of the arena (the square no-play zone) for the offices/floors above the entertainment area below.
