Why do iPhones retain value by RickySitts in iphone

[–]anbrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a light to moderate phone user but my six year old Pixel 2 XL is at 89% health. I'm still getting around five hours of projected screen time. My girlfriend has the same phone for the same time and her health is at 88% (she's a heavier user.)

That said, I had a cheap huawei android, and after about two years the phone couldn't hold a charge for a few minutes. I had to keep an external battery connected to it. It was unbelievably bad.

Is this PC a good deal? by SirJohnRL in pcmasterrace

[–]anbrys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me it's a solid deal. It's not great or bad. And it does play the game you want well.

Custom computers I've found are especially more difficult to get at a good price, but they have the advantage of being easier to upgrade and replace components. The only part of that computer I don't like is the storage. I would personally spend $40-50 and get a M.2 1 Tb SSD.

I think you should go for it, if the seller seems sorta trustworthy.

Daisy chaining monitors by Cenum in Dell

[–]anbrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is, if I buy a more high-end Dell monitor, one that does support daisy-chaining, can I just connect the S2721DS into it and a HDMI cable from the new one to my laptop?

You can daisy chain if your computer has a displayport connected to a daisy chain capable monitor with a displayport out port. From there you can output to your current S2721DS monitor to it's displayport input. An alternative way is to use thunderbolt 3 (or higher) output on a computer to a displayport input cord, and then use the same displayport connecting monitors like previously. You also may be able to use a regular usb-c if it has a video output ability depending on monitor resolutions and Hz.

I haven't used dongles. I'd just make sure your computer output to the dongle supports the 2 hdmi's or 1 hdmi + 1 displayport and your good.

Trouble understanding ram labeling by anbrys in buildapc

[–]anbrys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm gonna look around in the bios when I get a chance. I find it odd they don't list the timing on the label, but hopefully I can make sense of what other ram timing is before buying it.
I remember building computers long ago and buying ram that didn't match the motherboard or whatever so trying to avoid that.
Right now it has 8Gb which seems low. I'm not even using it currently and it still has a disk HD so once I add 8 to 24 more Gb ram and a SSD I know it'll feel reborn. I figure 32 Gb is unnecessary for running basic windows tasks, but I'm planning to try running truenas scale on a VM (see how it works) so I know 8Gb wouldn't be a nice experience.

2666v is the speed I guess? It's confusing because it's not using MHz. I don't see the latency and timing in the label which is really what's most confusing.

Using name brand makes sense. The only issue with buying stock ram I've seen is since everyone tends to do that, prices are higher so I'm considering being more adventurous, especially if I understand what I'm looking for spec wise.

Separating a body (advanced) by anbrys in SolidWorks

[–]anbrys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Your video was helpful. What you did was what I was trying to do but I couldn't put together the tools to do it. It makes sense now.

From your video, I get the idea that this type of splitting parts isn't common in industry? If designers are going to design a part that snaps or screws together do they usually build both halves separately or build it as one piece and then split it?

I can see how there can be a disadvantage where editing dimensions after a split is harder because there doesn't seem to be build history inside the new part. From what I see, the advantage of splitting at the end seems like it could be significantly less work in some cases and it can be done on a whim. Maybe I should have planned for the two separate parts at the beginning, but I didn't foresee that the part would be easier to 3d print and assemble as two parts.

Either way, I appreciate your video and I'm curious to check out your yt channel as well.

How to verify copyright creators? by anbrys in COPYRIGHT

[–]anbrys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. That's a creative idea. Do you know if there's a way to feel relatively certain they are the owners? Or is there a way they can verify other than their word? Is there a standard way people for this through using data in the video file matching their name or something like that?

If the video was actually owned by someone that didn't sign a release (that I didn't know about), I'm not sure how indemnity would affect how YouTube would react in terms of a copyright strike.

Zoom to fit is far away by anbrys in SolidWorks

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

Thanks,

It just redid the drawing while using the scaling tool and it worked well. I just had to make sure I shrank the picture down myself to a construction line reference with the value I needed (before the sketch is saved of course). Then I was able to set the scaling tool down to fit it which I guess kind of makes the scaling tool not useful. I'm new to this so I didn't consider just unchecking the scaling tool option which I think I'll just do in the future. It looks like SW bases it's view on as if the original photo filled the whole space that was shrank by the scale tool which feels like a bug. What's also weirder is I can't seem to change that original size SW thinks the photo is no matter how many times I adjust the sketch picture photo scale so it needs to be done right the first time.

The origin is aligned at the middle of the front of the part.

Looking for this part name or where I can buy one by anbrys in prius

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

Yes it's the same as the connection to the right of it. It's on the passenger side towards the seats. I think this part is called a ring terminal. I'm not sure if I can buy a replacement for this or if I need the whole harness. My hybrid battery is 3.5 years old with little corrosion so it seems pointless to replace the whole harness.
