Any 18650 with a rated capacity of more than 4Ah is a fake. They will usually be very low capacity. The low weight and the hollow sound when you tap on it is good indicator of that too.

There are a number of reputable sites for buying 18650 cells. Stay away from Amazon and Aliexpress, they are full of fakes.

Ideally they would provide a graph showing how many watt hours it will output from minimum to maximum load. If it supports multiple voltages, there should be a separate line in the graph for each voltage.

Or self driving cars.

The new car is worse. They will sell your info to the highest bidder.

Unless the filament ships in a foil lined bag that’s vacuum sealed with desiccant and an indicator card, you should assume it’s wet.

Yeah, they probably want to kill it and switch people over to a cloud service with a monthly subscription.

The issue with Starlink is power consumption. You will have to run your generator frequently to keep the batteries charged up.

There’s been pirates on FLTSATCOM for decades. That’s what you get when you launch a bunch of satellites that repeat anything with no authentication though.

The K1 has root access and you can use whatever slicer you want. They are probably not the best machines if you want to install plain clipper though.

I’m sure that ban doesn’t apply to government operated facial recognition cameras though.

That’s the word of this decade.

Did they ever fix the GPIO issue?

I hope lots of people will post videos of them destroying the listening devices in interesting ways.

The majority of their users are bots, which don’t care how they are treated.

What would they use it for? The 2.5 seconds of latency would be too high for most uses. Cooling will be very difficult with no atmosphere. Solar power will be hard since night time lasts two weeks. Radiation will damage electronics unless they bury them.

Be sure to use constant quality mode too. Set the RF to around 16-18 for SD video when using x264 or x265. The lower you set it, the higher the quality is.

Pirated copies rarely contain any of the extras. Some people actually do watch those.

Well, you are going to have to trust someone to store your offsite backup unless you can afford a second house somewhere. It should be a backup service where you can encrypt the data before uploading it though.

You shouldn’t be trusting google to store your photos anyways.

The latency of RAM has been around 10ns for the last couple decades. The latency of a good NVMe SSD is about 1000 times worse than RAM.
