Do you have it all scrapped via. on-device apps or does it scrape the browser (for chat convos, not for agent/harnesses)

I've spent many hours trying to get my 2012 iMac to function as secondary display for 2020+ macbook(s). It worked perfectly well with 2019- macbook(s). The iMac is perfectly functional and has capability to be used as a "Target Display". Screw the folks who advocate dropping features like this so that I can generate more waste & buy newer crap from them.

Literally wasted my whole day on this :(

imo you are a real woodworker if you build something, regardless of the tools you utilize. "A Tool is Only as Good as its Use"

I've gone down the rabbit hole of finding perfect tool to accomplish a task, be it in software realm or woodworking realm, only to realize I lost sight of the end goal in search for THE tool.

Thanks for pointer to Mere Mortals channel!

Pocket holes are one of those non-intimidating techniques that have kept me in the game too. I was pretty impressed by Kreg's mission: https://www.kregtool.com/about-us/mission.aspx props to them and any one else leveling the field for novices.

"Kreg products are designed to make wood projects less intimidating, to build confidence, and inspire success." I've been very satisfied by their pocket hole jig

I'll dig up a photo of the battery / electronics and post it here soon. To give you an overview of it: - 300W of flexible solar panels (~$90/pop, tend to get about 1.5kWh on great sunny days, enough to power my fan + fridge without having to run the van) - Victron MPPT charge controller (pretty impressed by their quality, and their app that talks to the controller over bluetooth, nothing comes close to them in simplicity of setup) - Victron battery to battery charger without ground isolation (gets triggered by engine hot signal, so I don't drain the van battery) - 2000W cheap inverter for running instantpot / magicbullet. I prefer to have DC appliances, but hard to find DC pressure cooker / mixers - couple of 12v regulators for 12vdc devices - ofc the BYD Lifepo battery, I haven't deep cycled this a ton, but my suspicion is that it's around 3.5kWH usable capacity.

I plan to add a cheap 360 camera system from aliexpress and run it off the aux battery mainly for security monitoring around the vehicle, the standard backup cams on any 2017+ vans are decent. If I get to it, it'd be interesting to get a Pi in there with OBD breakout to read in car data / gimmick.

Indeed! More than getting ripped off on capacity, I'm super scared of using large capacity lithium batteries in general. Having seen small samsung phones blow up, I'm a little scared and have a lot of fuses and cut off switches.

Agreed that having it listed is better, they do have exact dimensions in the listing as well. I was definitely shocked by how big this actually was when I picked it up in person. Not to mention that its 73Kgs! A good chunk of my van's weight budget.

Having used one of these used LifePo4 batteries for my van build, https://www.techdirectclub.com/lifepo4-lfp-battery-24-volts-... I'm pretty impressed how much bang for buck I can get compared to traditional lead acid batteries. In future build's I'll resort to just using singular Nissan Leaf battery cells, give more configurability + easy to replace just a dysfunctional cell.

I see a lot of useful tools on van and boat sites, around managing non traditional batteries and interfacing them with solar panels + engine alternators. Off to a cleaner and decoupled from grid future! Micro grids everywhere.
