I would like to present everyone with a project I've been developping for a while and have finally open sourced - WorldSeed Entity Engine. The goal of this library is to provide an easy to use and efficient API for rendering Blockbench

Glad you enjoyed! Investigating how tunable parameters impact the generation is an interesting idea, I'll definitely investigate it for my own application.

I got a few displays from aliexpress, all of them were good quality. If the seller has a good rating, they'll most likely send legitimate displays. You'll also need a FHD adaptor. Together the adaptor and the screen will easily be

I was looking at the T14 AMD laptop a few days ago, if it had a 4k or 1440p display option I'd considering getting it.

Pretty easy, but a bit expensive considering the laptop itself only costs around $150. A 1080p display + adaptor board for it costs about $100 and the 1440p display + adaptor is around $150. If you look up "T420 ips mod" you'

That would probably work. That's how I was originally planning on doing it, but I got annoyed with the voltage logging not working properly when I set it up so I gave up and just went with the linear voltage -> capacity reading. A p

Hmm, it seems like all the fuel gauges I can find are designed to be incorporated in to a bms, instead of being added to the input/output of an already existing bms. Do you know if there's a fuel gauge that can work with 12v so I

One of the mods that can be done is adding 1440p 14" ips display, like the LP140QH1-SPB1 from the carbon x1 gen 2. It's not as good as a new macbook pro display, but it's very nice to use.

Yep definitely, I had this exact thought last night and found an example kernel module to spoof a battery, and one to read i2c messages. There's probably all kinds of cool things you can do with a kernel module to communicate between t

I've read a few things about using charging circuits and battery fuel gauges but it's a bit beyond what I know how to do right now. I might look in to it more in the future, or maybe someone else who knows more than me can add a f

Yeah, this is still needed even with coreboot. The attiny isn't doing anything too complicated, it's just there to tell the laptop the status of the battery. In the testing I did, if you supply 12v without any of the SMBus stuff t

Yeah it should, but the laptop's firmware would need to be modified to not check for an authentic battery

The T420 is old, but still has some advantages over laptops currently on the market. Up until 2018 many laptops still had dual core cpus like the i7-7500u which are worse than the i7-3840qm that can be put in a T420, and the few currently a
