    • @FamilyGeekery
      @FamilyGeekery День назад

      I explained that the best way I could test the batteries up against each other was by draining them with a flashlight, so I did report those results. Comparing volts and such wouldn’t really be comparing apples to apples (different chemistries, etc). So I went with a more simplistic/practical test. Sorry if you didn’t find it helpful. Thanks for watching my rambling anyhow, lol.

    When ever buying a new pc i wish youtubers would recommend to test the machine with the minimal amount of hardware to ensure nothing will go kaput with all your shiny hardware at risk. This means testing with 1 ram stick and a cheap SSD. I am addicted to the X300 LMAO! i got 4 of them! 1. A nas with dual SSD 4TB on next cloud. BEAST 2. Game server for Conan exiles. 3. Opensim Dreamgrid server for a virtual world. 4. Emulation setup with emudeck windows version!
