  • Custom built, Had to 3dprint and design a battery holder (each holds 5 cells) that then goes into a case. Fill it with a battery balancer, inverter, some fans, add some fuses and insert able clips, and you’ve got a hot swappable battery bank!

    Not my own design. I helped a buddy with the 3dprinting aspect of it. Only ever gotten to test it out, but wow is it nice! Great for power tools, lights, or on the go power where there may not be.



  • Its not superior until its ubiquitous, trust me, im all for higher capacity that sounds awesome. (Minus what happens when they explode) but I’ve yet to see devices utilizing them. Also means I have to redesign my battery bank, cause 21700 sounds perfect for our battery backup/120v inverter.







  • So is the Internet Archive a library, or a preservation place? I feel like you’re advocating for them to be both, which isn’t how the law views them.

    Edit: I for one would prefer they not waste money on a losing battle, and stick to preserving things. Id hate to see them lose on trying to be a library, and then all of their efforts wasted.

    I’ll admit that I do like that they’re trying to scurt the law by doing what you’ve said, but it clearly isn’t enough.



  • I think its an incredibly fair view point. If IA loses, and the way back machine goes down, because they keep losing these lawsuits, then it has absolutely affected this person.

    To be quite honest, I even agree. The IA should be for preservation, not for piracy. Right now they’re boarding that line of piracy, and tbh, I disagree with that as well. Id rather go to a pirate website to pirate my books, and go to the IA to see what has been preserved.
