s0 Traingirl EraHere’s a <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/teardown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#teardown</a> of one of these cheap, unbranded “65W”/33W GaN chargers from AliExpress!The one I tested was purchased from this listing, for only AU$5 each! (At the time.) <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006320421253.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006320421253.html</a>First up, the advertising is a bit misleading, as they only support 33W on either outlet, one at a time (or shared, at 5V only). But it does support QualComm QC 2 and 3 on the USB A port, providing up to 20V 2A there. On the USB-C, it also supports USB PD 3.0 and PPS from 3.3-16V, 2-3A.I tested one non-destructively for insulation resistance at 500V and as well as sustained USB output, and it passed just fine. But taking things a step further, here’s what’s inside.One decent quality 2-layer FR4 PCB with solder mask and full silkscreen! It’s marked “BK-384B 33W / Rev 1.0 / 2024.01.18”(Cont. 1/2) <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/Electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Electronics</a>

If you were there last month, you probably remember the exercise we did where we improved the standby run time of a gadget (an electronic candle) from 15 hours to 30 days or more. Just now, while cleaning out my backpack for vacation, I found the gadget, with the same CR1220 coin cell still powering it in standby. Lit it just to make sure, and yep: 17 days later, it's still running.

Courtney RosenthalOne of the most striking (sad) things I encountered at the recent Teardown 2025 event was how few of the people had Masto accounts. This seems like it would be a natural demo for the Fediverse: aggressively DIY, tech sophisticated, with a bit of a rebel streak.I don't know why those folks aren't gravitating to Masto, but I do think if that was understood, we could unlock a significant barrier to adoption -- at least among the people I'd want to hang with.<a href="https://pdx.social/tags/teardown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#teardown</a> <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/teardown2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#teardown2025</a>
