  1. Here's another DIY Framework expansion card made from stuff I had laying around! :neobot:

    This time it's a microSD card reader, and it was rather simply made by grabbing an old cheap reader, taking it out from its original shell, fitting it in the expansion card housing and soldering an USB-A to USB-C board to it

    Technically speaking, it's much more simple than what I did with the Wi-Fi card I previously DIY'd, but practically speaking this one is likely going to be much more useful to me personally!

    (Also, the housing got a bit cracked while fitting the thing inside... but even if the final result might not look as pretty as intended, it really was a blessing in disguise: the microSD sits much further inside the reader than I thought, and the crack made it easier to grip while removing it lol)

    And just like last time, the lid has been made by cutting a sheet of scrap polarizer, once again as it's easy to cut and also because looks cool :neobot_flop_blep:

  3. Not all USB-C cables are created equal 🔌

    Two cables can look exactly the same on the outside while offering completely different performance.

    One cable might support:
    ⚡ Fast charging
    💾 High-speed data transfer
    🖥️ External displays

    The other? It might only charge your device.

    The challenge is that you usually can't tell just by looking.

    The BLE caberQU shows you exactly what your cable supports, so you always know which cable to use for the job ✅

  6. Tipp: iPhone-Hotspot ohne WLAN

    Das iPhone eignet sich gut für den mobilen Internet-Zugang, doch der Akku leert sich dabei teilweise schnell. Wer ein Kabel hat, umgeht das – und WLAN-Probleme.

  15. I have not been following developments in the #GPU market but have GPU manufacturers started putting USB-C ports on their GPUs?

    Because it would be very cool if they did. Then USB-C could really become the everything port and you could plug in your Monitors using USB-C too.

    This would also be great to finally end HDMI and replace it with DisplayPort since it's the better standard in many ways.

  18. ⚡ Your charger gets all the credit... and all the blame.

    But what if the real bottleneck is your cable? 🤔

    Many charging issues aren't caused by the charger itself. A cable that can't handle the required power can slow things down, even when everything else is working perfectly.

    🔌 Test your cable
    📊 Check its capabilities
    ⚡ See how it's really performing

    Before replacing your charger, it might be worth testing your cable first.

  28. One of the biggest USB-C myths? That every USB-C cable does the same thing. 🤔

    Not even close.

    Two cables can look identical on the outside while offering completely different performance:

    ⚡ Fast charging
    💾 High speed data transfer
    📺 Video output

    ...or just basic charging.

    Looks can be deceiving 👀

  30. I just discovered I’ve been getting about half of the Ethernet bandwidth I should’ve been getting, and I’ve been let down by LG and Anker.

    My setup is not trivial. I have a NAS in my detached garage connected to a UniFi switch. That connects over Fiber to a UDM Pro in the house. That connects to a UniFi switch under my desk over Cat 5E.

    From there, it goes to my LG 5K monitor via an Anker USB-C to Ethernet adapter, and to my M1 MacBook Pro via TB3 (what the LG display supports).

    I was measuring 433 Mbps to the NAS using iperf. I did some experimenting, and found that putting the Anker adapter right on my Mac increased that to ~720 Mbps.

    That ruined the wonderful setup I had, wherein I only had to plug in one TB cable to the MBP to use my entire setup. So I dug into some storage boxes and pulled out an old OWC TB3 dock with built-in Ethernet. Plugged the MBP and display into that over TB3, got rid of the Anker adapter altogether.

    Now I'm getting over 890 Mbps to the NAS.

    I'm angry at all the times I had to wait for long file transfers recently. Transfers that could’ve taken half the time, because LG and Anker couldn’t keep up.
