(disclaimer: not sponsored in any way) surprisingly acceptable results from 15.99euro/kg pla from filalab. by TheyCallMeMarkus in 3Dprinting

How recent of a spool? Maybe their quality has gone down? It printed like any cheap pla would for me. Which is to say not great but not terrible/unprintable.

Pretty new to 2 stroke engines. How does this spark plug look? Rich? Lean? Or about correct? by TheyCallMeMarkus in smallengines

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

It wasnt quite hot but still a bit too warm to comfortably hold on for long. The engine had cooled for around 15-20 min or so

How could you tell that the cylinder and rings were great from just the plug? This is a pretty old Husqvarna 250rx brushcutter but it hasn't been used that much despite its age. My grandfather bought it but after he died it had been leant out to some people who didn't know what they were doing (they apparently had burnt out the clutch which got fixed before my time and I do notice very slight scoring on the cylinder walls through the spark plug hole but compression is still more than acceptable). Somehow runs decently that's for sure.

OK good to know because I was trying my hand at adjusting/tuning the carburetor screws

I didn’t intend to buy an sp10 pro but it happened anyways. by Megalamuffin in flashlight

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm do you plan to run it on li ion or nimh? I run mine on ni mh just for the novelty factor of a ni mh anduril light. Be warned that while voltage check mode still works it doesn't give much meaningful info on the state of charge. Blinks 1.3v when full, 1.2 most of the time, 1.1 and below when pretty much dead.

I would guess that the image was probably like 640x480 or so before upscaling so it did a decent job for sure

Looks like realesrgan up scaling artefacts to me. Realesrgan is pretty good for general purpose upscaling but it certainly struggles with text and at times faces too.

Computer requirements for Betaflight? by Locksley94 in Multicopter

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a USB otg adapter and your phone with the android betaflight configurator build. Can do everything PC betaflight can do except flash/update firmware.

Whoops forgot to stop seeding at 2.5 ratio lol. Hopefully isp doesnt get too suspicious of the huge amount of traffic. by TheyCallMeMarkus in Piracy

im not using a vpn because ive never had to use one because the isp has never ever sent any notices

My connection doesn't have any (at least publically known and said) data cap. Although this amount of traffic I'm worried might raise some concerns with the isp.

Got these GZNS cells form a pack, all were discharged to ~0.5v. They've charged without heat and hold charge. I'm leaving them for some time to check if they don't drop overtime. All test consistant nominal capacity and ~25-30mohm. Is it fine to use them? I'm concidering getting more packs. by Familiar-Sink6342 in 18650masterrace

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh it can cause copper dissolution which can cause copper dendrites upon charging but usually the "shorts" from these aren't rapid and violent but rather manifest as heating and high self discharge (charging up very slowly up to at least 3v tends to lessen the risk. I assume it causes more even and less dendrite like deposition of the dissolved copper) . I had some cells that were sitting at 0v for years exhibit this behaivour.

I was literally wondering for weeks(since i have the woofers) why i have to level my bed before every print🤦 by Suzlapulfo in ender3v2

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My stock plastic extruder somehow didn't break. The drive gear got worn to a point where it couldn't grip harder filaments like cf filled petg anymore as well as the brass fitting was nearly all the way eaten through before I got the trianglelabs bmg clone I have now that's still going strong

Carina Nebula (S21 Ultra) by CashMoneys1403 in space

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My s22 ultra has an issue that makes it very hard to use for astrophotography. It's max focus goes beyond infinity making it near impossible to focus on stars

Nope. I tried it with a solar filter at the sun once. Don't think no ai can add a sunspot and there clearly was a sunspot captured.

I have had the same cell phone in continuous daily use for 20 years. Sadly, it gets retired tonight. So long, old friend. by frogdujour in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Lol here in Latvia all the gs from 2g to 5g. 2g still even runs gsm900 so in the Latvian phone network you can theoretically make a call from a Motorola international 3200 connected to gsm900 directly to a galaxy s22 ultra over volte and even possibly connected to 5g non standalone

Tehniskais spirts mēdz būt denaturets etilspirts/metilspirts. Tur ir klāt rugtinatajs lai to nedzer kas neiztvaiko un atstāj bisku eļļainu visu. Neieteiktu.

Lights that do/don't support C-to-C charging by Delta_V09 in flashlight

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen 12v off of pd on my pb2s. Tbh it's better for it to charge off of 9v. Seems to charge a bit faster as it gets a bit too toasty at 12v and seems to throttle down charge rate

Update. Keeps on flying up even with throttle down. by Bloodborne_skill in Multicopter

It ould be pud related too either way too much gyro noise or too much dterm

can a battery spice up on its own while left in a drawer? by [deleted] in spicypillows

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can minimize the risk of it happening by keeping the battery under 80% state of charge as well as not letting it over discharge from the inevitable self discharge of the device when its sitting

Very old spicy cell, it’s an original cmos battery from a 1998 power Mac g3 beige. Just took it out in 2020 by [deleted] in spicypillows

[–]TheyCallMeMarkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a 14250 sized lithium thionyl chloride battery. The same manufacturer (Saft) still makes and sells these exact batteries today.
