I'm going to be designing and building a high efficency DC backup system for my servers and whatnot. Is this something yall would be interested in seeing? Every device would be running from 12V DC instead of 120V AC, and as a result the efficiency when running on batteries will be way higher. I've got a 96% efficient DC-DC for running the machines on battery, and on mains power it'll run from a single 94% efficient mains power supply instead of having a bunch of different switching power supplies running each device.

As an embedded electronics masters student, 60mA standby current is an offensive amount
I'd be a bit worried about cable lengths and loops because if you end up with a significant inductive component you will get voltage overshoot when switching to battery. Probably nothing to obsess over though, would just be a shame if at the first power outage your severs explode

as someone who does both.. it's often difficult to adjust back and forth

@manikyath @Bananasplit_00 Here's the selection of parts and case I'll be using:
Given both the 12V bus and backup 12v bus will both be energized when the mosfets connect the two together, I'm hoping there will be little to no current surges. I'll be sure to measure everything on my scope with a dummy load and whatnot before it powers the actual machines

If yall haven't heard, there's an emulator for the virtual boy on the 3DS called Red Viper. It has working 3D and lets you change what colour it displays in. I like amber.
Would absolutely suggest trying it. The virtual boy's "screen" is a near identical resolution to the 3DS, so there's no gross scaling artifacts.
As far as I can tell, they've made the depth slider adjust the depth offset rather than the depth intensity, since the virtual boy wasn't designed with a depth intensity slider.
Give it a try!

The C64 and Amiga are my top faves for really cool music. Both have been extensively well used in the demoscene

Alright... What in the fresh hell
I thought I had seen everything with these famiclones and the weird stuff they come with for games, but one where mario's... not wearing clothes is a new one
I have censored it because although the NES's graphics aren't exactly what springs to mind when it comes to creating adult content, I'd rather not chance it lmao

Oh nice. If it was one of the ones I described, we have them at work and they all belong in the bin Sure, a review would be interesting. Curious how it'd stack up to the non plus version of the logitech K400. -

Fixing a dead OSSC from ebay. Thermal cameras are so nice to have.
This chip has something wrong internally, causing it to overload the regulator powering it. Substituting my own gruntier 3.3v line made the unit actually work, albeit drawing grossly more power than intended. You can see the bond wire carrying the excessice current in the faulty chip!
Albeit at a considerably higher current than normal, it actually does output video now:
Just need to wait for my replacement chip to come in from China. Almost certain the unit will be back up and running normally after that.

Want me to take a stab at fixing the old one? -
I use Edge as my browser on android.
It has adblock built in, lets me set desktop view as the default for *all* websites, it has tabs on large displays instead of that button that opens a list of pages open, and most surprisingly, the share button integrates a URL tracking information cleaner.
I've not found another one that manages to do this.
What browser do you all use on mobile and why?

you can disable it.
*edit. go to settings> apps > chrome ... select disable at the bottom. see my screen shot. I have a note20.

I'm upgrading my network to 2.5gbit, which means new NICs for everything including the router.
However, I totally forgot I put a pcie 16x slot on the side of my router, so I could totally do this instead of trying to fit it in the case:
This machine used to be a really strange small form factor showoff project I never finished which top mounted a GPU:
Honestly looked pretty sick.

iamdarkyoshi replied to iamdarkyoshi's status update
It only has HDMI inputs. I've never seen a TV fhat processes 240p correctly. They always process it as 480i -
Rather fascinatingly, my bedroom flatscreen correctly detects 240p and 480i (both "15khz" "standard definition") resolutions digitized and sent raw over HDMI.
240p is a "hack" of 480i that doesn't interlace but instead halves the effective resolution, and 480i (standard definition video) is not a normally supported resolution of HDMI.
As you can see, both are detected with the correct name and rendered correctly:
I think this is my first display that not only shows "15khz" video over HDMI without issues, but it even can detect the difference between 240p and 480i. Neat.
LG 48A2 OLED for those curious.

i presume this is a leftover from analog inputs being on TV's (does it have an analog input?) because then it would have to be able to process these anyways, and presumably would process these by digitizing them first.
