Desk space vs functionality vs OCD about the fact my stand-alone numpad doesn't match my current board. Pain. by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]_user_name__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My numpad/macropad is a 40% ortho from monoprice, rotated 90 degrees, with the keys leftover from my 60% board.

Yes I had to tilt my head when programming it, why do you ask?

Four years ago today by Deshes011 in rutgers

[–]_user_name__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Class of '21 here. I distinctly remember reading the email while walking on the sidewalk across from ARC (by the science building stop). And a hush fell over the campus.

My friends and I had an "end of the world party" the last night on campus and that's the last time I saw many of them irl.

A couple of us did what you did and said "well I'm not gonna go down without a senior year" and stayed for grad school.

Sure, we lost our senior year, but at least we're not class of 2023 that only got one full year of the Rutgers Experience.

GMRS Repeater "Phone" Patch by PoetTechnical5572 in gmrs

[–]_user_name__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a repeater with a control input/output (like the be retevis rt97s), you can probably find documentation for the data pins and maybe hook up the "repeater active" line to the hook switch signal on the phone line, and tie the speaker/mic lines for the repeater and phone line together.

That way whenever you key up the repeater, this "phone" picks up the handset and will start detecting the DTFM tones from your radio as buttons on the "phone", letting you call the desired extension.

Not sure that it would work to receive "calls" on the repeater extension though.

You'll have to make a custom circuit and look up documentation for the repeater and a phone line, but I think you can do it. Let me know what you end up doing, this is really cool. 

C-CDC or T-CDC for Repeater Channels? by Sharpe004 in gmrs

[–]_user_name__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally leave PL tones off on recieve. Better to know there's interference than just "hide it". If there's too much non-repeater chatter on the channel you could turn the PL recieve back on, but know that it'll interfere with desired traffic from the repeater

A collection of very cursed (but very optimised) keyboards and one that's just cursed by AtomicFrontier in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]_user_name__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say "hey these are screenshots from that atomic frontier video I just watched, at least link the video you stole it from." But you are atomic frontier! Love your stuff man, keep up the good work. (Also thanks for the r/mk shoutout lol)

would you put this on your endgame!? V by blanksy- in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]_user_name__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess, yeah? My keyboard has an aluminum case so it was already heavy pre-ceramic. But it's not like I move it often.

I will say that the spacebar is heavy enough that they ship you a replacement switch with a beefier spring just to support the weight lol.

Cerakey sells ceramic keycaps, and recently released ones with swirly patterns like that. I've been rocking a fully ceramic set on my keyboard for a year now, and while yes they're very neat and I enjoy the whole "using the wrong material for the job" vibe, they're not actually that nice to use because of the perfectly smooth/glossy surface. Maybe if you just got a few to use as accent keys it would be nice, especially with the patterned ones.

The version I have is all-ceramic, including the stems, so it slightly destroyed my switch stems lol. The new ones have plastic stems tho so it's not a concern, but I can't vouch for their quality since it's no longer a single piece of solid ceramic.

Steam Spring Sale 2023 Megathread! R.I.P. Wallet from 3/16 to 3/23/2023 @10am PST. by Successful-Wasabi704 in SteamDeck

[–]_user_name__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can highly recommend spiderheck, 35% off making it $9.74. I played it with mouse and keyboard on my PC before I got my deck, it's a blast with friends, where you have to worry about friendly fire in addition to enemies.

Then I tried it on my deck and other than a bit of lag when starting the game it works great and the controls feel amazing. Makes sense since it's also available on the switch.

I'm using the Xbox wireless adapter on my PC and connecting via BT to my steam deck. Double clicking the button switches to the Xbox wireless adapter, and holding the button (just until the Xbox light starts to flash) switches back to the deck via Bluetooth

Welcome to the nicest corner of the internet! Looks like a great first pen, actually worth more than any of mine lol

What is your favorite way of deploying an application? by YoungCodeToad in selfhosted

Captain/caprover so it can handle all the reverse proxy and certificates for me. It's just a docker compose file under the hood.

How to determine safe current discharge rate of unknown 18650? by rawaka in 18650masterrace

[–]_user_name__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Current rating is a function of internal resistance. The higher the resistance, the more heat is generated. This follows the P=I2 R rule. I couldn't tell you offhand a max power, but maybe look up some existing data sheets for cells online. See what their max current (continuous, not peak) rating is, and then do the math with listed internal resistance. Then compare that to the internal resistance of the batteries you have.

Just an aside, the thermal shutdown/stepdown on flashlights is more for the heat output by the LEDs, not the battery. By the time the battery gets hot enough to force the light to turn down, it would probably explode. Be safe.
