I found a tiny board on AliExpress that will convert EDP to DP (not the much more common reverse!) so I'm wondering if this could solve the EDP requirement issues? It does say it's limited to 60hz, which is a bit disappointing since many EDP connectors do higher refresh rates.I did originally addr...

Thanks! Yeah, it took waaay longer to make than I would have thought. Partially that's because I ordered a crucial part from AliExpress that malfunctioned, and spent a week or so figuring out why the computer wasn't working. Then I had to wait some more while I ordered a new one--shipping speeds the...

My man, that is AWESOME. I'm humbled. I have trouble making a cat tree. At least a cat tree that the cat judges safe enough to mount.

@beer can i have a link to the copper cooling agent ive been searching everywhere

I'm very used to being wrong, but usually people are able to point to the specific error rather than suggesting that years of practical experience count for nothing. Unfortunately, the linked video is no longer available and I've been unable to find another copy. However, I'm always interested in ...

@marcdraco All of what you said above is wrong. The one who needs to learn is you. All the things you imagined about the layers in the motherboard is wrong.   This is a video series of a guy who built a ps4 handheld. He cut the motherboard in two to make it thinner. Part 1 ispart 2 he cuts ...

Let's hope @diyperks can enlighten us either way

Hi @diyperks, first of all, really cool video — it was very helpful to see this kind of laptop motherboard-to-PC conversion in practice. I’m currently stuck trying to power on an MSI Creator Z16P B12UGST / MS-15G1 motherboard. The power button is integrated into the keyboard, and the matching ...

Yeah, the price of everything has gone way up. People have been using JLCPCB to print the board, which has apparently been the most cost-effective so far. But if you live in the US--I can't speak for anyone outside of course, but I don't think prices have stayed the same--you'll probably have to pay...

Sorry Johan, I've had a few technical (cough) issues recently. The hot weather broke my laptop screen.Well the fan that I was trying to keep cool with did.The newest version - which has an odd number due to my (cough, cough) problem (cough) with GitHub - is one the main Ultimate USB-C mic thread. It...

@marcdraco I would be interested in beta testing if there was a post detailing the process. I'm not super technical with electronics, but I do know how to solder. Michelle 4.0 seems like quite the step-up from the board featured in the original video, but all I'm able to find about it are colored ...

Oh, I understand the context. I read every post before commenting, so as not to fall into that trap. Yes, I agree the thread was originally about Matt and AI thumbnail generation--for the first 3 or 4 posts. Now it's about whether Marcdraco should be using AI for their various projects, whether they...

As one of the admins here, it is very much my business when it happens on this site, to get involved with this. There is a no tolerance policy about this technology on the DIY Perks Discord server I manage. On top of that, the context of the post is; Has Matt turned on AI Thumbnail Generation on h...

Guys. Come on now. This is a forum to discuss the million methods of building things, not to point fingers at each other for using AI. @OmniOwl, even if you don't agree with it, @marcdraco using generative AI to code something or create magazine images is their business. Heck, I think you'd be hard-...

You said, and I quote: generates is used here, which is unambigious in this context. That has nothing to do with your RAG. You also said: Doesn't matter. It's using stolen assets in the vast majority of publicly available tools and models via diffusion. And in this particular context, YouT...

@omniowl I only mean I can forgive thumbnails that are using AI to effectively add a built in photoshop effect on a photo photo the creator has taken - like adding lightning between some hardware images for example. It's a pointless use of AI as you can just use photoshop but permissible under what ...
