    There’s two cycle, 4 cycle (most engines), but there’s also diesel, turbines, rotary, and sterling.
     
    if you are talking about two cycle it only takes in fuel on cycle 1 so every other cycle, and a four cycle engine only takes in fuel on cycle 3 or something.

    to this community
     
    Hello. To start this I live in Asia, to be more specific I am Indonesian. As you've known this market is crowded with these chinese brands. They're aggressive with many phone releases and doesn't innovate that much as they try to combine what's on the shelf then plays on software and price.
     
    So I am here to bring you my temporary thoughts on this Chinese phone, its a Realme 5 Pro. Got this second handed, $170 USD converted, physically brand new just been rarely used. Because it was announced August this year anyway and probably begun selling in October. Also since Realme is on India and Europe I will try not to be biased as if Realme is only here.
     
    On paper this phone does get you far, running a Snapdragon 712, 4/128 (UFS 2.1) Memory config, 6.3 inch dew-drop 1080p 60hz IPS display, 4035 mAh with 20W charger in box. And a total anti deal-breaker it has a USB 2.0 type-C port with the 3.5mm jack on the phone. Yes, these things are the reason I picked it over anything at this price.
     
    On software, Android 9 out of the box with Color OS 6 which is quite near stock for me and you can take a look here
     

     

     
    Performance is smooth overall without lags or breaks that's meaningful. Gaming is stomped with ease as it's a SD 712. And I meant ease on CODM and those other big multiplayer games, this is truly a beast in games.
    On the feature set, this iteration of Color OS does bring you features that ease things like long screenshot, usual 3 finger screenshot, raise to wake up, stock screen recorder and for bloatware it breaks down to 5 unerasable, usefuln't apps as you can guess from the image above. The gripes are the settings, it's quite hard to get what you want (moving from Stock android ? without going to "Search".
     
    I haven't got to the camera before and GSMArena is the way to go for the results of it, click here
    Looking at the spec, it's a 4 camera setup with a main 48MP Sony IMX 586 sensor @ f/1.8, 8MP Ultrawide @ f/2.2, two 2MP units one for depth and one for macro.
     
    As in GSMArena the camera setup reliable with short processing overall, the front camera can grab face details at the "honest and clear" level and can turn off beautification entirely. Portraits are able to diminish object from background in the "Great" just a tick behind "Amazing" level with the recap from the website "Ultrawide and Macro needs software work".
     
    What I can say for the battery, is it charges from 15% to 92% with the in box charger in 1 hour 12 minutes and I am not a usage tracker but there's the data in my phone. 9 hours 44 minutes of usage with screen on time of 4 hours 17 minutes in this day of posting. And I was able to get through the day to afternoon comfortably. I would categorize this lightly used though, with internet browsing being the main usage.
     
    So that's what I have for now, and Realme on it's credit is approaching a stock android experience with out of stock features and that each phone is going to get 2 years of support from them, so there will be many to be covered.
     
    Thanks community

    Most, if not all phones have this. However. Its good practice to not let your phone charge overnight, Or let it charge past 90 really. You'll get more battery life.

    When battery is full, trickle charging is method is used. That overcharge protection does sound like a marketing bullshit. You can read more about charging here

    Ordinarily_Greater reacted to Eigenvektor in Overcharge protection?   
    Pretty much every modern battery powered device has this. I don't think the average person cares and/or knows what it is, so companies generally don't advertise it.
     
    I think its one of those things were one company advertises something in the hopes of confusing consumers by making it appear as if they're the only ones that have it or as if that was something special.

    Of course
    We plan to stay at bukit bintang in Kuala Lumpur, and I believe that Kuala Lumpur is in Selangor.
    Can you recommended some store for me. It is great to buy online, but we can't handle with shipping time that can got delayed.
     
    The last time, I got my friend buy it for me. And when they come back to Indonesia, I instructed them to sent the box and other thing via post, while he bring the laptop and charger via hand carry. With this the laptop will become like his personal laptop so it will be devoid any tax and custom

    Ah well, They're both normal bikes, just saying that i would be very surprised if the welds wouldnt hold up to 40km/h (MTB is a Calibre bossnut evo, Road bike is a Specialized tarmac disc expert)

    Ordinarily_Greater reacted to TheTacoSniper in Anyone ever tried converting regular bike to e-bike? Please Help   
    I converted a pretty decent mountain bike ( to electric last year but was a bigger pain in the ass than I had expected it to be. I got one of those 1000W kits from Amazon and got lucky with the batteries because hobbyking was having a sale (3 x 4s 16AH for a total of around 700wH for $150 USD). It was front wheel drive, because I figured it would be easier to deal with than the rear sprocket etc, but the front dropouts on the fork ended up breaking off, because it was some brittle aluminum alloy and was not designed for that much torque in the front. I ended up having to get a cheap chinese steel fork but the mounting holes for the front disk brakes were slightly off, coupled with the motor being too wide, so I had to replace the front brake caliper, and even then it didn't ever line up properly. I designed a 3d printed enclosure for the batteries, and that was the only part of the bike that went well. I built it because I wanted to use it to get around my large and hilly college campus, but it ended up being so big, heavy, and cumbersome that I only used it maybe 15 times in a year and ended up walking/taking the bus.

    It would honestly be much easier to strap on a little 1cyl 2 stroke motor with ~$80 worth of hardware off Ebay. Another option to keep in mind.

    The frame welds look decent compared to my MTB, it should handle it. I regularly hit 40KM/H on my road bike aswell.

    im not familiar with that bike, but its not just about the speed.  its not about the torque that the motor puts on the hub.
    low quality components will get destroyed by putting a motor on it.

    Uh, it's not as simple as plugging some things in and having it work...
    It's going to cost hundreds of dollars, months of planning and design, fabrication tools and experience, and that's assuming you already have some engineering experience in both mechanical and electrical.

    if you dont know what you are doing, buy a kit. dont fully diy it.   and even then it wont be super easy.  also if you dont have a high quality road bike, i wouldnt do it at all.
    they arent designed for mountain bikes, and cheap road bikes wont handle the speed safely.

    (was asleep, so i haven't talked about this again?)
     
    The stock one wouldn't do much of a overclock compared to the aftermarket ones (specifically the noctua that i picked) yeah even at 3733mhz is still guaranteed as well but i was playing safe as your chosen kit was a 3200mhz too, so change that if youre into high speed memory So the thing with fans they aren't a scalable unit, if you have 3 fans on a thicc card, it might be matched with a 2 fan setup but with thoughtfully better design. The one i chose is really for budget reasons Its one of the best case for airflow and overall looks, my taste might be different to yours so other case from reputable brands will also do most of what i type here have been said by @Mephi00 so there's your credits

    Whichever system you buy, get a second stick of the same ram and an SSD to put your OS on.  Both of those small upgrades will improve performance noticeably, especially on the Ryzen.

    Sounds like a bad battery. My old Galaxy S7 did the same thing, battery started charging slowly even with the fast charger and would only go to about 76% and cap there. I just got a new phone after that started happening but replacing the battery is always an option, if you have the time and resources.

    Ordinarily_Greater reacted to ivan134 in Define R5 Fan Setup   
    If you have no dust on your exhaust, your intake dust filter is doing it's job. If your GPU is running hot, they issue might be with the type of exhaust fan you have. If you have high static pressure fan(s) for you exhaust fans, swap them to air flow fans (fans with thinner blades). I had a similar issue with my Define Nano S and swapping my fan dropped my temps by 10c.

    @Sabron
    your setup is perfectly good, the positive air pressure is great
    as for your hot running 980ti consider this: (i have a Define R5)
     
    - i removed my top HDD cage to increase airflow to my components
    - two 140mm intake at the front
    - one 120mm intake at the bottom between the PSU and HDD cage
    - one 140mm exhaust at the rear
     
    that extra 120mm intake at the bottom should be able to more quickly introduce fresh air for your GPU and its also filtered
     
    ive been using my R5 in this config for about a month now in a carpetted house, and theres little to no dust in my pc

    Ordinarily_Greater got a reaction from EKasis in "Cheap" s10e or wait for the Pixel 4a?   
    I personally would pick the s10e as u might get back some of those cash when selling it, yes its a good unit but i dont use wireless charging that much so if ur ok with the semi durable build on the pixel 3a, go pixel
     
    IIRC the Pixel 3a was 400$ so with this u get basically the same things that a flagship has. only with plastic back which most average consumer dont mind, SD 675 isnt that overkill SoC but its more than enough for most person and good for extra battery juice
     
    so the only reason i see (yet) to pick the s10e is for the resell value or the UX
