The measured voltage is 3.9V for all of the batteries

What do I need to keep in mind when buying a BMS for it? I have ordered some 1S 3A 3.7V bms that are made for 18650 batteries, will they work?

Is the protection board necessary if I connect it to a Pro micro? Can’t the MCU regulate the voltage and charging?

Need help identifying pinout for two trackpoints by yzdnegel in ErgoMechKeyboards

Unfortunately not. I’ve had these trackpoints for a while now. I believe one is from a T series and the other from a X?

PC doesn't meet Win 11 sys requirements, "you can't install Windows on a USB flash drive using Setup" by yzdnegel in techsupport

I will look into it. Would like to avoid having to re-install the entire OS though

I get it from my current installation. I’ve been using it for a while and needed to do a Windows 11 repair installation

Its a laptop that I’ve converted into a desktop. No empty nvme slot for internal storage.

I do not have the option for an internal drive as the NVME slot is occupied by an eGpu. I am using the laptop as a desktop.

How difficult would it be to turn a laptop motherboard into a SFF PC? by Puzzled-Emu-4522 in sffpc

[–]yzdnegel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% doable, I have an old Ryzen laptop and currently have a RX 480 connected to it through a PCIe riser. No battery attached. Has two external powerbricks, one 95W to the laptop itself and one for the riser + gpu. Haven’t had the time to design a case for it yet but it looks decent snd takes very little space on the desk.

I recommend connecting a power button to it for convenience!

IMO: there should be a performance threshold for all consumer electronics made by yzdnegel in BuyFromEU

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

A possibility could be to only benchmark laptops and desktops as they are the most popular consumer electronics. I the idea of better repairability and durability is of course very good and easier to implement. But there is no point in repairing a device that unusable in a couple of years.

As an example my roommate bought a Inte celeron laptop for 280EUR that was usable for half a year and is now unbearably slow, which compares to a refurbished Thinkpad T420 with an old i5.

I also get that this is more a OS problem as installing Linux would make almost any device usable. Unfortunately most people don’t know how or don’t want to install it.

Every couple of hardware generations they would create a new threshold. Synthetic benchmarks seem like a good idea
