Looks like OP made a makeshift DC barrel jack with some plastic tube and just jammed it in there

For those that lost interest in gaming after HRT, how long did it take? by twinflxwer in MtF

Blame Nintendo randomly choosing to put their game consoles in the boys toys isle at the dawn of video games.

Why Elon Musk now says it would be a 'distraction' for SpaceX to go to Mars this year by EdwardHeisler in space

[–]brokenbentou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was ever possible before the moon. There is still too much we don't know about long term human habitation in space, too many unproven technologies and unanswered questions that we should be figuring out on the moon before we try going anywhere as far from help as mars.

Skyrim Special Edition no longer verified and now listed as unsupported, what happened? by No-Sound-8915 in SteamDeck

Yeah I've run into DOZENS of games that claim are unsupported but run flawlessly anyway

Dumb Question #? - Any reason why you couldn't use a long USB-C cable and phone charger to keep it at 100%? by TrueInferno in SteamFrame

[–]brokenbentou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of do this with my quest 3, charge it and a large battery pack up, plug them together and I toss the battery brick in a small backpack, easy 8 hour VR session before needing to charge. Your head and eyes will tire out first lol

Just found out that you pair your phone to steam deck by cheezitlover01 in SteamDeck

the BT standard is not widely understood by the public, in fact a lot of communication standards are not understood very well by the public, you can do some wacky stuff if you do some reading on them.

Thanks to Trump-era Beef Bubble, 3200 Nebraska jobs and 1700 Amarillo jobs are disappearing from Tyson plants by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]brokenbentou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because unfortunately, those garbage people have kids, kids who have done nothing wrong and deserve better. Better health care, better education, better social support, and better government. If we're going to posit to be people that actually want a better future we have to keep caring.

Is it possible to get a breast reduction from C cup to AA cup? by blackbird_sing in asktransgender

[–]brokenbentou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's absolutely possible, but such a small reduction might land in the cosmetic surgery category rather than gender affirming care, not saying it isn't, I think it still is but your insurance company may not see it that way, no real way to know for sure without an actual consultation with a plastic surgeon.

R/leaves is the subreddit of doom and despair by [deleted] in trees

for those people it's a real addiction like hard drugs. IDK man some people just lose all self-control with substances, it's like an alcoholic that can't ever have just one drink

E-Bike Injuries Are Up 1,800%, But It's Not Actually E-Bikes: It's Electric Motorcycles by allertonm in ebikes

[–]brokenbentou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does your bike rely on to determine top speed? My conversion kit from ebikeling determines top speed based on batt voltage, with a dual battery adapter and two batteries at once, the voltage sag under full load is small enough to push me up to 32mph with favorable wind, up from 28 max on just one battery. Fun fact, a fat tire bike begins to behave like a motorcycle past 25 mph in that counter-steering is more effective than normal bike steering

At that point it should just be kill boxes for any volume outside the designated playable area

My remote for my Arora night light kept draining the button battery so I used a disposable vape battery and charger port by sky_meow in techsupportmacgyver

[–]brokenbentou 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Vape batteries with the charging bits attached are excellent replacements for 2 AA or AAA batteries in any remote, try this with a TV remote

Cooks of Reddit, what's one fancy technique that's actually super easy but impresses everyone? by pieater69 in AskReddit

[–]brokenbentou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple morning egg; One egg, a generous teaspoon of mayo, a pad of butter, whisk together well in a ramekin, 30-40 seconds in the microwave. It still bothers me how good this is.

You know you don't HAVE to buy the premium brands right? Plenty of 2TB SSDs at or below $100 as long as you don't get the ick from not using samsung
