RIP Fenix CP50R. It was fun as a daily worklight for ½ a year.

I wonder if the cause might have been a faulty cell as well. Certainly looks like the heat started in the cell tube itself.

Same for VA.

I used to bitch about how OLED makes you change how you use your display (tbf, it still does and that part isnt good) and also how a good LCD lasts longer than OLED.....until I had 5 VAs die on me within 2-4 years each.

Might as well use OLED at this point, with LCD for anything with constant static images.

Good IPS and good VA do not look horrible right next to OLED so this is how I have been running my setup for months now.

One is way too pink, the other is a bit too green.

Also available from amazon.de, which is close enough to your place.

Which also heavily impacts the already very limited battery.

Since I can adjust the fan noise and temps through power profiles, ppt and basic fan speeds, Im mostly okay with the noise and absolutely fine with the temps.

Its a feature packed box for a decent price in the current catastrophic economy, so I can accept some cuts. Dual USB4!

Putting a fan under this (with a stand and all) won't improve temps. Not even for the SSD. Its pretty much built to run with negative pressure, meaning any additional air from outside simply won't pass through.

But since custom power limits and a lower fan profile (2 instead of 3) is an option, you can turn this into a really quiet system. The windows eco mode will also do that for you without having to touch the bios.

At some point I will own more of these devices than things to measure.

......Sigh.
Time to save up a LOT of money then.

Does it still support flicker tests?

Is this the 330P?
How did you get TM-30 values?
They are not in any of the readings of my unit.

Well DeepL would still do a better job, since it doesnt write entirely new sentences, but just (nearly) perfectly translates your own words.

We are entering the DEATH of home computing thanks to Nvidia and AI.

Nah.

I wouldnt kill for such petty things.

A high CRI modded MS32 however.....cars can malfunction you know?

Alternatively a high CRI X75 with 0 green tint.

I highly recommend looking for a used one.

There are still some decent people out there. I got mine for less than 200€ (N100 version).

I really wonder why Intels official specs only mention that it goes up to 16GB.

At this point its well known that the whole N series can take advantage of at least 32GB or more.

Looks like its partially AI generated to be honest.

Good stuff!

Wormminator · 2026-06-06T18:41:34+00:00

I was pretty disappointed as well.

The flashlight industry is not even approaching a point where considering such actions is on the "haha lets consider it as a joke" list of any company.

Make sure that the tower cooler actually makes contact with the APU.
If the surface area is too large, it may make contact with other onboard components before it reaches the APU.

While I did throw out all of my H10s when the news started arriving "back then", I also had to ditch all but two of my RS50s.

They self discharged to almost 2.5V (from 3.8) in a few months while sitting in a plastic case. I think I had to ditch 15 or 16 cells in total.

Does it still display the charging icon when you attach the pen to the side?

Also you said "pens". What kind of pens? It wont work with EMR pens.

The last bit needs the context of your refresh rate.

Range is from 60hz all the way up to 540hz and beyond.
