  • You’ll be fine in this situation, as long as you take these precautions:

    Have a little child at home. Teach them about being responsible with power and give them a little trinket. It’s vital that it’s a slesson of being responsible that can bring you back from some kind of evil corruption. If it’s about “believing in yourself”, your death will be the thing that’s driving the plot, instead of a redemtion arc. You want to prepare for the redemption storyline.











  • Neue Spiele sind eh doof. Hab neulich Teufel darf weinen 5 wieder zurückgegeben, weil es im Jahre unseres Herren 2019 zu viel verlangt war, dass man Zwischensequenzen dieses Spiels pausieren kann. 🙄

    Lieber die Wii-Version von Pikmin mit Bewegungssteuerung auf dem Steam-Deck mit Delphin. Richtig tolles Retro-Nintendospiel (und nicht das 1000ste mal Zelda… das kam vorher im PC-Port mit HD-Texturen und moderner Steuerung…)






  • I haven’t tested it yet in the field, but according to my USB-measurement device, a heltec t114 used less than a milliwatt (about 50uA at 5V => 0.25mW).

    According to a web search I did, the worst you can expect for a cheap solar module is about 10W/m^2. For a small panel with 3cm x 5cm, that’s 161mW.

    So, I think it should suffice. But maybe I should solder a bit and actually test my solar-node.

    Put I’m hardly the first one to try this.

    Edit: So, apparently, 50uA is a bit too optimisic. But some guy on youtube measured it at at 20mA worst case on 3.7V. That’s still 74mW.


  • Some people buy a cheap solar-powered led-spotlight for the garden. I got one for arount 8€ from aliexpress. Already water-thight, with a solar module and a battery.

    Then, add something similar to a heltec t114. It’s a bit more expensive than a heltec v3, but can actually be driven with a puny solar module from the garden light.

    You’ll also need to drill a hole for the antenna into the enclosure and seal it with silicone.
