Yep. It’s for an outdoor weather node on a metal pole, so damage would be fairly minimal if it had a bad day. It’s also only charging at like 200 mAh (max) since it’s got only a small 1W solar panel hooked to the charge controller. The only other concern would be summertime temperature, but I worry about that regardless of the cell.

Yeah, and my newer powerbanks all do PowerDelivery for 5, 9, 12, and 20 V.

I’m assuming watt-hours would be universal for them all (watts are watts, as the saying goes).

I may be re-thinking my morals for things like that here soon. My legitimate career relies heavily on federal grant money, and my skills aren’t rare enough to hope France will adopt me. Maybe I’ll start a meme coin or something lol.

That’s true, but this one came from a known (local) vendor. I took it back, and they were happy to refund it. Since they were gonna toss it, I asked if I could keep it (it works well enough to power an ESP32).

I’ve thought about selling out my morals, but realized I could never live with myself.

I guess they could still lie about watt-hours, but buying anything based off of the reported mAh capacity is a crapshoot.

Ended up with a clearly fake 18650 in my collection. Weighs way less than an older 2200 mAh one but it’s label says 9900 mAh. Again, it’s an 18650.

The culprit:

Is there EV support?

Looks like it, yeah:

The UI still shows Fuel, but it seems like you can enter the kWh and it should calculate. Maybe plug some values into the demo to be sure. If you do, let us know!

I use Fireflyiii for my money and budgeting.

I don’t see why not. I haven’t stood it up yet, but I’ve played with the demo. It does have a section for parts/repairs/upgrades.

Give the demo a try, and let us know.

Yeah, building a simpler version of something like that was on my ever-growing “to do” list but came across this today. Probably going to deploy it this evening or maybe this weekend (whichever day it’s supposed to rain lol).

That’s pretty much how I buy my phones: Look at the LineageOS device list, find the newest ones I can find/afford.

It’s one new PC, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?

After some time, the domain fully expired and GoDaddy decided to buy it as soon as it did, and charged me £2,225 to renew the domain. I don’t understand how a price that large is justified, considering that my website gets barely any visitors and I basically only use the domain for hosting stuff. No idea how hiking prices this much is legal

GoDaddy is known to do that.

Technically, they’re not hiking the price. GoDaddy bought scalped it after it expired and then is re-selling it at an astronomically higher price. It’s one of the many, many reasons people hate them.

I’m ashamed to say I still have a couple of domains with GD that I haven’t migrated yet. This post might just light a fire under me to get that done.
