#cheap battery

[sleepsucks]

#07.08.22 #3073 #i haven't kept that streaming set up i tried it to see if i'd get a slightly better quality image than with my cheap webcam #but actually my phone is also not great + overheats and runs out of battery within 2 hours of being used for that

#my stuff #unfortunately due to me being cheap and desperate the battery is Suboptimal and Will Not Calibrate #so im returning it after like 2 weeks of using it and buying a better one which i pray will serve me better #wh40k #adeptus mechanicus

Trying out some little things with how I draw Ed :p

#don’t mind the really bad profile *sobs in artist-trying-to-do-profiles* #anyways I wanted to see a) how drawing Ed for the first time in a good while would go #and b) how adding more floof and changing up the face shape just a tiny bit would go #also wanted to test out how the physics would probably work but that’s boring stuff :p #been doodling too many squid kids lately. i miss super flowey and floofy hair… #my art #fanart #fma #fmab #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #fma ed #edward elric #hey for this being on my tablet with a cheap bluetooth pencil #i’d say this isn’t half bad….! no pressure sensitivity SUCKS though #but for being away from my actual drawing table for a few weeks I’d say this is a decent alternative ! kinda ! #downside is that I was stupid and didn’t bring my sketchbook because I forgot that tablets run out of battery :I oops

#guesss who found a broken claw machine for cheap #in the cleaning phase #well extra clea ing #this is how i cope with not getting the clown machine (silly) #im gonna store my plushies in here :3c #girl help how do you convince your father that you dont want to go though the cost and effort to get thsi working #i dontt have anymore outlets on that wall. your speaker and lights idea is cool but how many times do i have to say it needs to be #battery powered instead of a plug or any sort of wire #not sure how to clean the metal/black parts #taking out to windows to clean the inside more thoroughly #and the windows #this bitch is DIRTY #i accidently stepped on the foam from the prize drop after taking it out and it crumbled into dust

i want an mp3 player so bad

#ideally a 3rd gen ipod #but i’d settle for a cheap mp3 player with an sd slot #technically you can mod an ipod with a better battery and more storage #(you have to take it apart tho) #but an sd slot would be pretty nice

you'd think eventually I would run out of new car problems to have, but there is, unfortunately, always some new way a car can try to break

#//juri speaks #car's computer had a fun little seizure on the drive home #first the ABS & traction light came on #then the tire light started blinking #then the center console/radio display kept turning on and off #and then the power steering cut out! #it like. all sorted itself out after i sat on the shoulder for a minute but... aaaaaahhh! #girly i just spent $220 on a new battery pls do not be having another several hundred dollar issue #google says it could be a side-effect of being jumped/getting the battery replaced #but it could also be the alternator #or perhaps computer #neither of which will be cheap i suspect

im like dreading having a nice relaxed day where i get to cuddle with a guy i like and watch shows all day in bed because im so mentally and physically exhausted from work. This sucks man.

#my social battery feels like its gone into the negatives #i had 2 days off and i spent today just feeling exhausted all day #my singular life goal has become i just want to buy a cheap lamp and one picture frame #and that feels like an unobtainable goal #i've been trying for two months now to be able to afford this stupid picture frame that costs $30

I want to make a small sunbox for my doll heads, to de-yellow does anyone know about UV lights? I’m thinking about buying a cheap one for nails, but there are several types and I’m not too knowledgeable about Watts and all I saw one light with 3 LEDs on it that was cheap, 6W and 9W, some don’t even have any indication of strength..does it just mean i’ll have to leave it in there longer, if the Wattage is lower? if it’s under £4 altogether that would be best. @dollsonmain I think you made one? Anyway the plan is to get a clear plastic container, stick the lamp on top, then stick that container in a cardboard box lined with aluminium foil. so I can just leave it on my desk to work its magic.

#USB powered would be convenient #as opposed to disposable batteries #i saw a listing with 2 lamps on the cheap so i might get that and stick a lamp on each side instead #the aluminium will disperse the light anyway right

Agfa Compact

turned on and with the flash removed

#favorite camera #for 35 mm film #an irresolvable mishmash of retro and military style #from the early 80's #it uses AAA batteries #most importantly you can set the ISO of the film manually (25-400!) #so you can use it with “exotic” films and cheap films that are not DX coded (e.g. Fomapan) #or you can easily overexpose your expired film as needed

waiting for the 4th gen ipod nano and 2nd gen ipod touch that i got from ebay to come in... haven't fully settled on what i want to do with them as it was an impulse buy while i was at work but i will figure it out

#i think i'm gonna jailbreak the ipod touch #but i also wanna see if i can find an archive of old apps from like 2010 on reddit or smth to add to it #the nano i'm not 100% sure what i'm gonna do with it but i had to get it it was in great condition and it was the only one i saw that #didn't need a battery replacement #the 1st gen ipod touch being so cheap ($15) was so shocking to me... maybe it's cheap cuz it's used

I got my siblings raspberry pi zero w kits for christmas so they can set up pi-hole and I'm trying to save them a lot of trial-and-error hassle by typing up simple instructions but. it's hard when I don't even know what routers they have? bc that can complicate things.

ugh I better make sure they don't have fucking AT&T

anyway I'm doing the desktop environment version of the os bc I don't feel like coordinating getting their router logins and fucking IP ranges or whatever to do headless setup, and setting up wifi via the command line is a little weird so the lite os wouldn't work either (again I am trying to keep this simple). Plus idk how complicated SSH is for headless setup, I've never done it and even though I'm sure I could I don't wanna add on any weirdness for them to deal with. but I'm like. should I go so far as to install the os's for them or is just imaging the sd cards enough...

I also keep having to fight the impulse to be like "well I don't want to do all the FUN STUFF and leave none for THEM!" because like. I Am An Outlier in that respect I think.

#I also got cheap usb hubs and wireless controllers with trackpads and keypads that I found at five below lmao #they'll need hdmi cords to plug it into the tv for setup and a couple AAA batteries but I think they can handle that #my one sister was a little overwhelmed by it and may well choose to get a diff present in which case I'll use the pi for smth else #or just keep it as a backup ig #I really hope she'll take it so to convince her I'm trying to make it as simple as possible #I assembled the pi's in their cases. I imaged the cards. I even went OUT OF MY WAY to take care of the keyboard/mouse situation 😤 #(true I got the cheapest one possible but they're gonna use it like once so who cares. I have one I have used it I know it works) #anyway. blurgh #need to make a computer sideblog someday #original

I don't want to alarm you but if your laptop battery looks like a pillow you need to remove it and place it inside a cheap dutch oven or something fireproof. A lithium ion battery expanding like that means it's ready to pop and it becomes a fire hazard. You have to unscrew the back of your laptop and unplug and remove the battery for your safety (your laptop can still run without a battery it will just need to be plugged in to a charger)

Here’s a screenshot (not mine!) of how my battery looks on my laptop currently (0%)

I’ve been meaning to change out the battery some time ago and have even looked at a few videos for help but so many people were saying not to use certain screwdrivers (like metal ones, just plastic) or else you’ll end up shocking yourself, and then there was a bunch of other stuff, too (my old Laptop had a removable battery so I didn’t care too much and would just replace them when needed) but I’ve never personally taken out a battery from the back and done so myself so I’m nervous about it because I don’t want to accidentally break anything…

#it still need to find a battery for my model laptop though but I don’t think if I should go for cheap or an overly expensive battery like I #don’t have the funds to even buy either one atm but I’ve been dealing with the 0% for a while now so :( #tkf replies #shuttershocky #I need to figure it out though since I’ve been worried about this for a while actually:(

I want to buy another i-dog......

#there's a bunch more on ebay than the last time I looked... #a lot of people sell them 'untested' or 'for parts' super cheap which could mean they're dead #but could also mean they just need their battery compartment cleaned #DO NOT use this information to buy all the cheap i-dogs that I want before I do. I'll cry

Idk. it's all fun and games until the price check on a project comes out to over 1 grand.

#RIP. #i was going to make my wheel chair electric but Nope. #the actual chair itself will be piss cheap to make. The tires are the most expensive part. #but batteries and motors that are built for this kind of application are Not Cheap #anyways........... i might run a funding goal eventually. ill design the chair with space for the e-parts sp itll still work as a manual #until i can afford them. #Turns out e-chairs are Expensive for a reason

soo impatient for my packidges today.... i wanna see what 20gb ram can do..... the year of the gamer.......

#bought 16gb for 20gb total...... absolute overkill for my usual games but the price difference from 8 wasn't that big #and this is more future proof #also got a new ssd bc dual booting has made my windows partition a bit cramped (and it was cheap) #like even stupid modern game sizes aside. btw i downloaded a demo yesterday. for an indie game. nearly 17gb. #that's larger than the sims 2 complete collection. that's basically skyrim + a dlc #anyway yeah. eventually i'll get a new battery as well bc mine is at a limited capacity which is annoying on a notebook #but theyre kinda expensive. more than the ram+ssd combined actually #and second package is a vibrator. but you don't need to know that. part of the year of the gamer of course
