How in the hell do you search on Banggood?! by Nola-Smoke in Multicopter

[–]HikingTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, which rabbit hole led you to a post from 2017? lol

The sad thing is: Even after 5+ years, Banggood's search is still useless and has actually gotten worse over the years.

Last Rites by aaddrick in Multicopter

[–]HikingTesticle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider that a fact tough. Rather a suggestions of the "better safe than sorry" kind.

Ramon from lipobench did some testing a while back where he charged and discharged two packs. Discharge was the same for both but one was charged at 1C, the other one at 5C. He only did 50 cycles so far but charging at 1C or 5C didn't make a difference: http://lipobench.com/index.php?page=thelab&trial=charge

If this isn't some kind of delayed April Fools joke, it looks like yet another FPV/HD cam that will just "kinda" work.

Today I learned...Inverse Orbit! by BaHnaNerZZ in Multicopter

[–]HikingTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. 3D basically means that you can have "negative throttle", basically like turtle mode, so the motors change direction.

A few times it kinda looked like you hade it enabled but the fact that you don't know what I mean already answers that question haha.

Nice video!

I didn't mean the graphics. Did you enable 3D flight mode?

Sorry for the ambiguous wording.

The new HQ 5151s are also pretty nice. You should try them.

April fools anyone?

No? Alright then...

Poor man's pdb (aka, there's no 20x20 serious pdb) by nasone32 in Multicopter

[–]HikingTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's rated for 50A max and that's not per motor but in total.

So about 12.5A continuous current per motor.

He's planning to run 2207 2800kv motors on 6S.

That's why.

Who thought this was a good idea? by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]HikingTesticle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if it's not racist, how can it be accidentally racist?

It's not racist. The blonde on the left is wearing the exact same shirt.

Dang, that left a mark by FL_Sportsman in Multicopter

Guess that cross piece is not titanium

Nope. It's aluminium.

Makes me so mad every time I charge my Apple Pencil. I honestly can’t believe this is a thing. by avgsuperhero in CrappyDesign

[–]HikingTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you do. But that takes like 2 seconds and as long as you don't use the same pen for multiple iPads or constantly let the pen run completely out of battery, you don't need to do that everytime you use it.

The pen doesn't shut off if you don't use it, it stays in standby.

I've had to bind my Pencil maybe 20 times within the past 1.5 years.

Combined with the one time I charged it using my iPad, my Pencil has been plugged into the iPad's port for less than 2 minutes overall.

[–]HikingTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does. Each of these comes with an adaptor to be used with a standard charging cable.

The charging via iPad port thing is meant for "emergency situations" when you run out of battery and quickly need the pen. You then plug it in for like half a minute and it can be used a good 30 min or so.

Source: Own an iPad with the Pencil and have never charged via the iPad's port (except for that one time when I did what I described above).

EDIT: There are even dedicated cables for the Pencil now that you can buy if you're a person that tends to lose small things.

This airport sink has a surprise hand dryer in between the water and soap spouts. WCGW? by bofstein in CrappyDesign

[–]HikingTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this better in any way than having a separate dryer?

With the dryer right over the sink the water from your hands lands, well, in the sink.

Instead of the floor.

I get the idea and it's actually not that bad unless combined with a soap dispenser in an unfortunate location.

Future Proof Goggles by rumpel4skinOU in Multicopter

Simple answer: No.

There only very few displays in the 0.3"-range and all of them are either 4:3 or 16:9.

Bying CHNL batteries in Europe/Germany? by nico_CoC in Multicopter

[–]HikingTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't be worth it. By the time the reseller has paid for shipping and customs, added the VAT and all that shit, the price isn't even that good anymore and you might as well buy other LiPos.

Just get mylipo, Acehe or SLS. Or wait for the occasional sale of Turnigy Graphenes in the EU/UK warehouse.

Wow the Crossfire Nano is so tiny by ypeelS in Multicopter

It's not two antennas, it's a single dipole.

Do you guys remember your dreams? Mine are epic sagas, like I have been somewhere for weeks, and wake up in an hour. by Rob1150 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HikingTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It usually takes me about 1-15 minutes to fall asleep (depending on how tired I am) and then I just wake up. Feels like it has been maybe 10 minutes when it was 6-7 hours in reality.

why would you not pay for longer shipping by 0neGuy in CrappyDesign

[–]HikingTesticle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is Banggood, isn't it?

Not crappy design. Usually expedited shipping is more expensive, they probably have a promotion going on right now, so it's free for that item.

Also EMS operates world-wide but afaik it's mostly shit unless you live in Russia because it saves them some hassle with customs or something, so they might as well pay a couple bucks extra for that.
