The logo next to my name's supposed to be archlinux but debian will do since I also use it.
Anyways, I'm just a bear that uses Arch, btw. I post stuff to nobody, for fun ! I always expect nobody will see my stuff though.
I haven't made friends in real life for 6 years and I don't have interest making friends so you can guess I've grown solitary and not very friendly, much like a bear. I won't cause trouble though.
Unfollow/mute me if you don't like what you see from me. I don't care.

I got one of these though. Sort of a "petit frere" for my VX4. All the batteries I mainly use that I don't mind charging for a while will go here. The big one's for quick charging or grading the batteries I buy or obtain from various sources like laptop batteries or old powerbanks
Otherwise though yeah I'm pretty much spent and now am looking for old laptop batteries or old powerbanks.
Oh wow mastodon.social got a UI update while I was gone for 4 days.
4 days really feel like 4 days. Days go by very very slowly. Honestly feels like the lockdowns
I haven't bought anything battery related in a while cos I'm pretty much out of cash I can comfortably spend, so I'm just reading off things battery related.
I'm no electrical engineer nor a chemist but it's cool to read the stuff even though I'll admit I don't really understand some of it.
Anyways I'mma be out again. Maybe another 3 days? A week? Idk. I'm off. Hugs and a good luck to y'all. I got some batteries to learn and manage...
Also multimeters will constantly report 1.5v to these kinds of batteries as long as they still have a charge. When the battery inside is used up, it'll suddenly drop to 1.1 or 1.0, which means everything that uses these batteries will just stop working right then and there.
I read new ones will "emulate" an alkaline battery. Of course those are even pricier and I'd be a fucking idiot to buy something I definitely don't need.
I'll stick to eneloops but I'll be interested with this regardless
I could definitely buy a pair of these, but I have so much batteries and I have no more money.
I read these types of batteries are actually 3.6v Li-ion batteries stepped down to 1.5v by a buck converter built right into the battery itself.
But yeah these have circuitries inside that convert that voltage and they also use up the charge in the battery and I read they run 24x7 so yeah. That's one drawback.
I don't even know when I've last updated my archlinux rig and my vm's of various distros, but the snowflake proxy's almost donated a terabyte of bandwidth for 9 days now so yeah
Not an ad for XTAR, but did y'all know some rechargeable batteries now have USB-C ports?!?! My brother definitely found it weird, lol
It's pricier than a regular eneloop though

Oh my god I posted last 3 days ago ? Feels like a week ago. By the way yall, while I was away, I now got 32 18650 batteries of varying capacities harvested primarily from laptops and a few powerbanks, 8 lithium-ion AA's, 8 NiMH AA and about 12 NiMH AAA's, all eneloops lol.
I now spent about more or less $200. I gotta stop self-funding my research cos I'm about to run out..
I've also been using the cardboard box my RTX 3060 came with, lol.
Ughhh if only I was earning some more on my streaming hobby, but I'll never stoop to that level where I get cash from strangers. I prefer getting paid for the work I do in real life.
It ain't much but "AI" doesn't yet have these advanced arms and legs so it can't touch itself nor have the know-how to fix itself or its fellows physically, yet,
It can't stick a multimeter's probe on the PSU pins while the computer's running. Not a lot of people in IT space have the balls to do that, lol
I've discovered some more expensive chargers with more features and stuff like SkyRC MC3000. That shit is so fucking expensive and I prolly won't be able to use all the features it has so not now, bear.
I know I like tinkering and stuff with the best but I need more experience and patience and yes, money, so I have to work for it. Plus, I needed batteries first. What am I gonna do with a charger without some more new batteries to play with ?! lololol
