"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Journeyman of electronics here. That is not true.
Yes, you can in theory just use an LED, two resistors and build a voltage devider. You could as well just use a screw driver and look how deep you can get in an USB C port. In theory nothing should go bad, in practice, that is not how the USB C standard wants it.
Using something like an LM317 is the correct way.
