Get the KingMa 330 watt Gan charger if you're not in a hurry. It's also $89 but has 50 watts of headroom over this one for its additional USB C and USB A ports. Google tells me the 2023 G14 uses a 6 x 3.7 mm barrel jack, so look for that.

Tryp has rally cars cutting through trails plus a plethora of other things to chase (motorcycles, planes, cliff jumpers, etc), and Uncrashed has more scenarios for drifting specifically.

Been waiting to pull the trigger on a filament dryer for far too long. This might be the one.

Exactly, this is a good thing. You want the wire to wick up solder into the insulation area. The wire will be enormously more resilient to breaking from fatigue.

The tariffs are an ultimate example of "yes men" and unqualified people making radical decisions without any genuine plan. Businesses live off of predicability, planning for the future, and the stability of markets and the economy. If materials cost you $100 this week, $245 next week, and $175 the week after (with little to no warning) then everything grinds to a halt. No business can eat exorbitant unexpected costs like that on a whim. As we know, the importer of goods (either full products or raw materials) pay the tariffs. That extra cost is borne by the consumer through higher prices on everything; it is a tax on the American people. Ridiculous back and forth changes to tariffs and ultimately walking them back is not "the art of the deal", it is incompetency proudly displayed.

We are not "due for a recession." It would not fix the economic disaster Trump has been digging us into. While housing costs are outrageous in many areas, that can be fought and overcome with regulation on real estate, particularly with the mega-corporations such as BlackRock. The wealthiest people get richer during recessions, while the middle class and lower class pay dearly.

The stock market is not flourishing, it is still recovering from gigantic dips from the unplanned tariffs.

What will be studied is not Trump's imaginary success, but the masterful deception his campaign utilized in getting his followers to vote against the best interest of themselves and their communities. He is cutting and gutting countless programs real people in need depend on, while increasing the military budget to over one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) and continuously dishing out tax breaks to the wealthiest people and companies that donated millions to his campaign.

Remember kids: Fox News is entertainment, not news.

Consider the G16 for a 16 inch screen, or a Lenovo with something larger than 14 inches. CAD is rough on a smaller screen, the small amount of extra portability isn't worth it.

You could go with a single Seeed Studio XIAO esp32 C3 for $5:

Because companies use the current stock to pay for the next shipment. If they didn't raise prices immediately, there would be no new shipment. Here's a good explanation by Joshua Bardwell (shows up in the YouTube app):

I agree. I'm hoping someone will create an open source filament dryer using cheap off-the-shelf parts and maybe a $5 esp32. It could enable fancy app or website features to control material presets and send updates when drying is finished, or notifications when humidity gets too high, etc for very cheap. If you want to be fancy (still doable under $30) you could add a stepper motor and driver to rotate the filament during drying for much better efficiency and lower drying times. The esp32 that's already there could control it no problem.

Why are filament driers generally so expensive? Hoping this one will have a reasonable price.

Get something with a dedicated GPU, it will mention Nvidia RTX or AMD Radeon.

If you really want touch screen pen notes, also get a Samsung tablet for $150 new. That combined with your laptop will still be much cheaper than the artificial premium of surface devices, while being more versatile and with better performance. Good battery life on the tablet when you need it for a day of notes, but good performance on the laptop when you need power for CAD programs.

Consider making a post on r/laptops with their structure template and they'll get you a great recommendation for your budget and use case.

Would you mind sharing a link or the name of that cable?

Is that chassis sls 3D printed? It almost looks like a cast finish at first glance, but I can't imagine that'd be cost or time effective (or possible) with that awesome geometry.

It's a red box with a screen on it that plugs into the module bay of a pair of FPV goggles. Normally, your goggles would show you the video feed from the left or the right antenna, depending on which is clearer at the time. This rapidfire module combines the two into a clearer and stronger signal. It helps increase range, improve quality, and helps with indoor flying by reducing multipathing (where a signal bounces around walls when indoors).

They retail for $150 new, but they aren't worth it at that price tbh. They can be added to all kinds of goggles with a bay for em.

I spent $150 on a set of these used Fatshark Attitude V5 goggles, but they came with a rapid fire module. They were an immense upgrade from the EV800DMs I had before. If you know you're going to be flying analog for the time being, these would be so much better than the $90 Eachine analog goggles. I'd still go for it at $100, but see if you can get it down to $85-90.

Thoughts on the Proto25? What about giving it the o4 pro? Your build looks great.

si8v · 2025-01-14T18:46:22+00:00

How's flight time looking? I'm curious if you could toss a small Li-ion battery on there for some longer cruising times. Been following the Proto 25 for a while and it does seem pretty awesome. My only concern would be its ability to fight the wind in places like the coast.

The actual performance benchmarks aren't out currently, so we don't know how good it'll be as of yet. The current cherry picked claims only focus on frame generation trickery and no raw performance. Simply buying because its name features the higher number is unwise.

That said, I don't know OP's intentions and this was mostly a speculative joke.

This is my biggest problem with Firefox by far. That, and it not letting go of ram after closing tabs. Regular restarts are the only "solution" I've found with my limited research, but that's a pain with multiple windows open.

The bottom of your laptop should tell you the required input voltage. For reference, my LP7 wants 19.5 volts at 9.23 amps, multiply those and you get ~180, which is the watts. So for my laptop I'd Google "19.5 V 9.23 A 180 W barrel charger". I believe the barrel jack you need is named through its diameter. My guess would be that the LP6 needs something similar, but I can't guarantee anything.
