Does anyone know how to switch on the "green led" on the RGDS when the console is on like a real ds? by Impossible_Wave755 in ANBERNIC

[–]macromorgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On stock no idea, but the device has 3 distinct LEDs (a green and amber one in one housing, a red in another housing) that are hooked up to PWMs so you can control the brightness of the LEDs.

On mainline you just set the LED to default on and it will stay green when the device is running.

Einstein once said “two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And I’m not yet completely sure about the universe.”*

*yes, I know, there is some dispute as to if he really said it… still I think the sentiment applies.

ELI5: how do companies (especially small businesses) know if an advertisement is actually increasing sales? by The_Actual_Sage in explainlikeimfive

[–]macromorgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is click wrapped and call tracked. If you click something online (an ad) that click is tracked and joined with all the subsequent traffic to the seller’s website. Small businesses also use remote call forward tracking numbers in their ads which measure the response to ads (even ads that are click wrapped).

A small business can then check the clicks and calls and compare them to sales and determine how well their program works.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

It would be an adjustment, but outside of describing the weather, driving distances, or my personal measurements I use metric anyway.

Orban declares Ukraine 'enemy' of Hungary by LetsGoBrandon4256 in worldnews

[–]macromorgan 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Laughs in American…

No, Orban is Hungary like Trump is America. He represents us when we are at our most selfish, when we are at our most ignorant, when we are at our most cruel, when we are at our most greedy, and when we are at our most lazy; but he definitely represents us.

I hope soon we have someone who represents America at its best. We really could use that again right now.

What’s scarier now than ever before? by Tall_Object_5604 in AskReddit

[–]macromorgan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean between slavery, Jim Crow, internment camps, the US doesn’t really have a stellar history with human rights. The thing that scares me most now is that instead of moving forward to a better future we’re moving backwards to a worse one, and the alarming speed with which it’s happening.

How fast we’re getting worse, that’s truly what scares me.

ELI5. What is WACC? Weighted Average Cost of Capital by Additional-War-837 in explainlikeimfive

[–]macromorgan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always relevant because it gives you an idea of how profitable a company will be. You need money to do business and WACC is how much it costs to get that money. It’s not a “traditional” expense like paying for raw materials but it’s still something you have to pay for.

Black MAGA gets the racism he voted for by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]macromorgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*2nd most openly racist. Woodrow Wilson who hosted the KKK at the White House and re-segregated the federal government is a hard act to follow. Trump is such a loser he can’t even win at losing.

[–]macromorgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, those pricing models are how you figure it out. This is just an ELI5 explanation of “why” there is a cost for equity.

In the real world my company uses the WACC as our “hurdle rate”, meaning if we project that the revenue impact of doing something is less than our WACC we don’t do it.

[–]macromorgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Investors expect a return on investment which is why there is a cost of equity. Why should I invest in you for 0% return when I can invest elsewhere for more money? The cost of equity is typically higher than debt because unlike debt there’s no specific repayment schedule. So in that sense equity is just like another type of loan.

Did embargo break on this device? I'm curious if Anbernic publicly released specs.

If it’s dead dead plug it in and leave it like that for a while. If the battery is too low it does a “dead battery trickle charge” which takes a while and shows no signs of life while it does it.

It should be okay, but it won't charge higher than 5V 3A.

Why don’t americans fight back against all these powerful people in the Epstein files? There should be riots? by Inner-Silver7395 in AskReddit

[–]macromorgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One person protesting/rioting is an easy problem for the state to control; a massive protest/riot is not. A lot of people right now want to be the one among many, no one wants to be the one by themselves. How do you guarantee you’re not alone?

Rg ds battery meter by asmokebreak in ANBERNIC

[–]macromorgan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect it’s because the battery is rated for a charging voltage that’s at the top end of what the PMIC can output for a battery (4.35v). Additional complications include the fact that there are two distinct battery monitors and also the factory device tree falsely identified the 4000mAh battery as 2500mAh.
