    Guide Teardown and modification of Goldmedal's 16A Wi-Fi Smart Socket for Tasmota

    This one looks like a promising contender when I searched for something easier to modify with a larger enclosure for better thermals since that was a concern with the Polycab smart plug. A few screws and it happily comes apart: This one uses the Tuya CB3S module, which isn't compatible...

    WTB 2010 Mac mini

    It's the one with the optical drive and aluminum unibody, I'm feeling nostalgic for something I never owned.

    WTB [W] iPhone 6s Plus [H] Amazon Pay Balance

    I'm looking for a iPhone 6s Plus in decent condition, and can trade with anything you'd want on Amazon India for Rs 6000. It has to be the larger Plus model. It should not be iCloud locked. Send photos over PM with handwritten username and date. Be sure to include a screenshot of the current...

    90K+ Performance limited by the Apple M1 — more cores, faster cores, or back to x86?

    A few quick questions — I seem to be hitting the performance limits of the Apple M1 in my mac mini a lot more often these days and I'm considering something faster/better. Has anyone else managed to max out their Apple silicon based computer? Do you live with it or upgrade? Do I get more cores...

    Guide DIY Wi-Fi Water Level Sensor & Meter with ESP8266, Tasmota, Arduino, MQTT, Node-RED, Telegram

    PART 1: THE SENSOR We need this sensor to read the water level inside the tank. For this we'll be using the US-100 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor module. This sensor is 3.3V logic compatible and has a UART mode where it returns a distance reading that takes into account the current temperature for...

    A DIY Micro-Ohm Meter with Arduino (vollrathd's design & concept)

    Pursuant (corporate speak, ha) to this helpful video: It became apparent that I needed empirical verification for the connections I would be making in my LiFePO4 projects, unexpected resistances result in heat build-up, and can become disastrous if unchecked — the prismatic cells I'm using...

    The Ill-Advised 1kWh LiFePO4 1U Rack Mount Battery 3S1P 105Ah

    Actual capacity would probably be closer to 960Wh with these used 'C' grade cells but 1kWh sounds catchy. I'll be making a top-balancing BMS using Tasmota for this. The entire premise of the project is ill-advised because we'd be dealing with large amounts of current since it's only a 3S pack...

    FS: Storage Hardware Crucial MX500 1TB m.2 SSD

    . In warranty, invoice available, 46% drive health. It was used in an always-on laptop with a 2.5" adapter as a youtube-dl drive — the 71TB written is the amount of media downloaded. The 27k+ disconnections is probably the number of times the drive or laptop went to sleep, ha. Don't use these...

    FS: Desktops Intel i5-4570 + Intel DH87MC + 16GB Corsair Value Select + 120GB WD Green + TP Link Wi-FI

    . This is a build I put together for my nieces while they were visiting, they've left now and I don't really have any need of this system. Processor has no issues and the memory has passed a full memtest. Wi-Fi card is also working well, but it was purchased many years ago. Unsure about SSD...

    FS: Desktops Intel i5-5675C (5th gen Broadwell) + MSI Z97 Guard Pro + 120GB Silicon Power A55

    . This is one of the gems in my armada of systems so I'm reluctant to let go of it — I was saving this up to run macOS. The motherboard was received new from RMA in 2020 and was in use for about two years before being put away in storage (upgraded to DDR4) while the processor was purchased here...

    FS: Desktops Intel Xeon 1220 V2 + Intel DP67BA + Zotac 210 1GB + 120GB KLEVV Neo

    . One of my retired Proxmox nodes that I kind of forgot about. I found the motherboard at a dealer some years ago in a random box, they forgot they had it and it sat unsold for nearly ten years. It was unsold because the P67 chipset does not have any circuitry/connectors for video output, so...

    FS: Desktops Pentium G4400 + ECS H110i (mini-ITX) + Crucial 8GB DDR4 2133 + 120GB Silicon Power A55

    This is one of my test benches, it's a little temperamental. Memory is detected in only one slot with this processor (untested with other processors). BIOS has been flashed with a proprietary OEM version that disables HDMI/DVI so only VGA works. The 'power on after power loss' option in BIOS...

    Guide How to repair a crashed APFS drive that cannot be repaired through Disk Utility's First Aid

    You can't. The title is worded that way to let people know there's no way to restore a crashed drive to working condition without a full wipe and/or reinstall if it was the main OS drive. As of today, there aren't any publicly available tools or utilities that can fix filesystem errors that may...

    Recommendations for a single centrally-located WiFi router/access point for a 2BHK flat/apartment?

    This is out of my area of experience, so I'm hoping to get some purchasing advice. I need to find a WiFi access point or router for a relative which will plug into a wired ethernet connection for Internet. No firewall, no QOS, no USB port is needed. They're expecting 100mbps to upto two...
