Converters run less efficient at lower loads, but to get 2x the run time, that means they where <50% efficient before and they'd have to be getting into the 90's now.... 🤨
UPDATE! I stated in the video that the USB-C port is both an input and output. I swear I read that in EcoFlow's specs somewhere, but after testing I can confirm that my unit does NOT charge through the USB-C port. Sorry for any confusion!
xboost inot 600 watt. xboost lowers the voltage so it can continue the amps. Great for powertools that need that but watch out with devices that have electronics in them.
Good tip about the sensitive electronics. But Ecoflow clearly calls it “600 watts” on their page and all their marketing material. I’m just simply reporting their advertised specs. Thanks for the cautionary heads up!
@@FamilyGeekery Ecoflow does that because it is simpler for the general public. But they are lying and you should not copy their lie... In their video they say "run up to 600 w appliances" which is already a bit better. It means that an up to 600 watt appliance might run but as I said on reduced voltage. Would not run a 500 watt computer on it.....
08:28 rotate them around? AaqI’ll have whatever he’s smoking please. RGB IC. Individually Controlled. You don’t have to rotate them. It’s like you forgot that the whole hexagon can glow a single color.
I meant if you wanted to match the inner colors of the hexagons, like the old hexagon dominos game. www.ebay.com/itm/315599935587?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3sBtNB5ITma&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3ym4W89xSpi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I meant to include a demo of it in the video. I’ll probably make a follow up video. But basically it will switch the ac power from a pass through to the batteries in about 20ms. Fast enough for most electronics, but may reboot your computer.
you're right! I swear I read somewhere on their site that it would charge in through the USB-C port, but after testing, I can confirm that mine does not. I will pin an update to the comments. Thanks for keeping me honest!
Awesome how you can do a budget build with R4 parts! 1060 is a good card for playing Skyrim SE. I had an R4 with the R9 390 AMD installed which ran Skyrim SE pretty well.
I don't know what setup most people have, but my MacBook Air 2011 works still fine. Only thing I did upgrade was the SSD. It worked fine with MacOS High Sierra, but I decided to try Catalina (patched install) and it still works fine, only an increase of CPU load and decrease of battery time. I haven't seen degrade of performance or speed. The only issue I'm trying to figure out is some issue with WebGL / OpenGL (Catalina is supposed to use Metal graphics API and newer GPU)
Thanks for the great video. I have all my programs including windows 11 installed on this SSD (C: drive). How do make sure all those programs are installed on the new SSD? Is there a way I can image the old drive on to another portable drive and copy that image to the new SSD after installation?
Yes, there are some free cloning tools out there. I’ve used Clonezilla before, buts it’s been a while. Try cloning your existing drive to your new drive using a usb drive enclosure if you have one.
That’s a great option for sure. About 2 pounds heavier, but a little higher specs and more ports. But if you’re already in the Ecoflow ecosystem, I wanted this video to show some of the new features. Thanks for watching!
I have a 256 gb ssd in my mac already. But I want to use a 128 gb nvme to copy the 256 to. Everything that is on the ssd is less than the 128. But in your video you make reference to an ssd that is equal in size to the hdd that you want to copy. The reason I want to clone the ssd is so that I can upgrade the os from Sonoma to Sequioa. I just want to make sure that if all else fails with Sequioa, I can reinstall Sonoma.
I have an (almost) top spec 2017 model (I just have 256 instead of 512) in Rose Gold and it is my BABY. I adore it, I'm hoping to find the same one one day with all 3 top specs in Rose Gold, so I can split it with Bootcamp, but I know I'm gunna need a lot of patience lol. Thanks for putting some spotlight on it! 😊 Also, side note, there is an *incredible* accessory for this called the LandingZone, that adds a whole bunch of ports to it, makes it way more usable!
I don't know why MSI have oversight the SSD Connector bracket on the motherboard. I am having a hard time since i would like to expand the size of my memory. Moreover, I have bought MSI Spatium M480 M.2 and the fan spins like crazy. Any idea for fixing these problem Sir?
I could cry (happy tears) right now. You are not only an amazing teacher, but you're also a specific source for quality products we can use for our repairs. My bricked 2015 is now up and running & I am in disbelief. In awe really! Thank you for sharing your talent, recommendations, & skills .
Hi I like your videos on the MacBook Pro, I have a 2010 pro, and would like to upgrade my hard drive from a 256 to bigger, how big can I go and I want a ssd drive and what’s a best and fastest one can I go with? TYIA
I’m sure the 4tb sata would work, but the 2tb is probably the best price point right now. And most brands would be about the same speed. This one is a pretty good deal : amzn.to/4erqkwv
Hey FamilyGeekery, I have a question, I have the new MacBook Pro M3 Max which uses thunderbolt 4 ports. Would this method work the same? I Have this LED Cinema Display. Actually I have 2 of these, could I get 2 of those adapters and use both screens side by side? I bought a similar adapter but it didn’t display anything on the Cinema Display, the MacBook showed that the Cinema Display was connected in the settings though, just no picture. Any ideas?
please answer my question, i’m so confused to upgrade ssd for my lenovo y520 cause all my friends say i shoul buy ssd gen4 cause the speed, but my technician said i should buy ssd gen3 cause gen4 not support for this laptop and will not compatible, so… what should i buy?
How do you know which Mac OS version is supported for choosing to install when upgrading through the OpenCore Patcher? It's now Sep 2024 and I am about to upgrade a mid-2010 Macbook Pro that I still use. I plan to upgrade the Ram, Battery, and Hard drive. I want to be able to do work on this machine, so I also plan to upgrade to the newer Mac OS. I currently run 10.10 Please point me in the direction to find which MacOS I should try to install. Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials!!
What nvme drive so you recommend? Was thinking about the. (Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 5000MB/s - CT1000P3PSSD8). Would that work with this adapter and the computer itself?
I replaced my hard drive with the suggested SSD that you used and I am running into the question mark folder. I’ve tried the start up recovery, no luck. I also tried hold Alt and get into the start up selection and it’s a blank white screen. Any thoughts?
First step for troubleshooting would be to pop your old drive in to make sure the computer still boots. That would catch any other problems that may have popped up. After that, make sure you are using the laptops keyboard for getting into recovery , not a Bluetooth keyboard, etc.
Hello! I currently bought this feeder but when I click the “schedule” and try to add feeding schedule, it makes pop “subscribe” page. Did you buy any subscription? Thank you for the video!!
I did not do any subscriptions. And the schedule has been working perfectly ever since. Just don’t forget to hit “save” if you change anything on your schedule, lol
