#usb wifi adapter

[patchoulol]

My blog has been running entirely on queue since Monday night when lightning struck my router and destroyed most of my local networking hardware, but thanks to this USB to ethernet adapter, I'm back in time to get the FFXIV kappa suit.

Oh that's a lot of female presenting nipples down there.

When i'm back in my hometown, all of those "was this you?" log in emails tell me the login happened in this city, and now they're telling me it's happening in a smallish town near this city. Fascinating.

@ everyone following me for art, worry not about the non-art spam, my PC has been having intermittent BSOD issues so I've been holding off on some things while I figure it out. lol

Probably more faulty RAM, which is insane as it's only like 9 months installed, but the faulty RAM last year corrupted several of my complex Clip Studio Paint files (1-5 layers of each corrupting) and forced me to reinstall Windows due to corrupt drivers, so I'm playing it safe. 🫠

Another 2022-present portable computer thing. This is a 1991 Corvallis Microtechnologies PC5-L. It's a ruggedized, waterproof handheld MS-DOS computer meant for industrial applications. It ran on Ni-Cd batteries and they died so now it runs on AA's I got two of them for $50 on eBay during one of those months when i impulse buy obscure electronics as a form of escapism This thing is an absolute brick. You could murder someone by hitting them on the head with this, and it would work fine afterwards. Here's pictures of its organs for anyone curious:

That thick red wire around the screen PCB is a heater. Yep there's a setting to heat up the LCD so it doesn't get sluggish or shatter when you decide to leave it in the freezer. The thing runs on a little system-on-chip thing, which is interesting to see coming from the early 90's. Iirc the datasheet says it's capable of analog video out as well as driving the LCD, but I haven't poked around enough to enable it. Might be cool to hook it up to a TV. I did, however, open those 512k storage modules and I saw some unpopulated footprints on the boards. So I ordered some of the same chips, and at some point I'mma try soldering them on and see if it recognizes the extra space. They came with two voltmeter modules, which I couldn't get to work, so I took one of the casings and made it into a USB and WiFi adapter using an ESP32 running Zimodem, since this thing has RS232 ports on the top. I also made my own charging adapter, since they didn't come with one. I see that internal PCMCIA slot, and I tried putting a CF card adapter in, and tried installing the drivers, but it didn't work. I'm not good at DOS tbh, and I know nothing of what this slot is for. I might come back to it later. I did all of this in 2022-23 and haven't messed with it since. Except to use it to talk to my Kaypro 4 '84:

More on that one later. I love portable computers !!!!!

what do you mean the wifi adapter is unavaliable???? its literally plugged into one of the back USB ports

Espressif programmer test success! 💻✨🔧

While developing boards, there are oftentimes we want to program ESP chips without going through the onboard USB port; this adapter will help us (and others) do that! It has a CP2102N USB-serial chip

https://www.digikey.com/short/bm7n3p5z

...with RX/TX signal LEDs and two transistors wired up to the DTR/RTS line for the 'esptool standard' reset procedure technique. The output IO, plus a 3.3V 500mA regulated output, is available on a socket header, so you can plug wires in for quick programming and debugging. You can use this for everything from an ESP8266 up to the ESP32-P4! Here, we are testing it with a HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout board

...one of our first Espressif chipset products.

The thing about holding onto redundant stuff you don't strictly need is that, yeah, 90% of the time it's just taking up space, but sometimes that old usb wifi adapter that's been sitting in your closet for eight years will save you from continuing to tear what's left of your hair out.

[keiitopop]

been doodling stuff for that one story i have, the one about aliens. i want to share all the art but i have yet to buy a new wifi adapter for my pc >_<

i could take pictures with my phone but the quality will be poopybutt... hmm maybe i could use a usb and upload them through my mom's laptop ??? idk

SO

This little fucker I've been working on has finally been finished.

I do not want to admit how long I have spent waiting for the obscure parts I ordered to get this to work but hey.

I need to know what I should feed the beast.

@debian-official @arch-official @ubuntu-official

You folks seem like you would have the worst ideas for any upgrades or purposes I should give this thing

If your interested the specs are here

- intel i5-4670s (4t4c 3.1ghz)

- 16GB DDR3 1600mhz (I lied in the video)

- awful Kingston ssd because god is dead

- Nvidia qaudro K2200

If your wondering how I setup the GPU without an x16 pcie slot then your gonna hate me.

There is an MXM slot for a laptop GPU but those fuckers are expensive, so my train of thought was I can get a cheap x16 GPU so I just need to jam that fucker into it. So I did some digging on AliExpress and things, discovering you can take the mini Pcie slots for WiFi cards and jam a USB adapter in it, jerry rig that to a GPU extender.

All of this is shown below

So yeah, USB GPU.

It's so beautifully cursed and I love it <3

so after ignoring it for like a month, i got to work on that computer from the poll again.

all three network adatpers are showing up very reliably in dos now, but still only the two lan adapters under debian. no wifi.

booted from the debian install usb. both ethernet adapter and wifi exist there now too. so im reinstalling the system using the wireless adapter as the default adapter during installation. we shall soon find out if everything exists and is working on the finished system.

So my birthday is coming up in November! Last year I had my worst birthday EVER so far *knock wood*, dealing with my loser now-ex-boyfriend who had gotten himself hospitalized by drinking rubbing alcohol and did Not want me warning his parents to lock it up. (Alcoholism and stupidity are two different diseases and some people have both of them.)

So anyway I am still homeless, which is exhausting, but this year I do have a mailing address where I can get packages! So I have made a birthday wishlist. Some notes:

* The thread cutter is the item I want the absolute most. The shelter I'm currently at won't let me have scissors in my room, so I can't do any of my handicrafts. If I can get a thread/yarn cutter it's impossible to poke people with, I can pick up some sewing or crocheting and be slightly less stir-crazy.

* The wifi at this shelter blocks gaming websites, including the interactive maps I use for Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, so I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing. I have a fair number of amiibo cards already, but the three I've listed (Genji, Sasha, and Pashmina) would cover some gaps in my collection and help me get some of the DIY recipes I especially want.

* My current mouse has a USB-A dongle, but my computer has only USB-C ports, so I have to use an adapter and I'm always worried it's going to snap off or get lost. So a USB-C wireless mouse would be really nice.

* My last two electric razors each simply died one day, and my beard eats safety razors for breakfast. I'd like to try the rotary-head style of electric razor, my father always used one so I suspect it might work better with a stiff bristly beard like mine.

* The book, Saltwater Mittens, is low priority because I can't have my knitting needles in my room either, but it's one of the very few knitting books I actually want to own rather than just check out of the library, so I thought I'd add it. You know how most knitting books that reference traditional patterns are like "with a modern twist" or "inspired by traditional designs"? Nope. These are actual, historical, we looked at real Newfoundland fishing mittens in a museum and You Can Make Them Here's How.

I rewrote far from home and started posting bot ffh and my new pressure roblox fic waterlogged dandelions. Unfortunately, due to wifi driver issues, shit just gonna be extremely slow till I get it sorted. I took this stupid laptop to geeksqaud like 3 times, and my last option is a wifi USB adapter 😭. So stay tune!

Not sure where i would even go to talk about this so im posting it here to my tumblr.

I have this laptop, a lenovo thinkpad t420 ive been customizing mostly because of the funny weed number, but as it turns out this laptop has a few neat features and can often be bought used for under 50 usd. My first change was to, of course, upgrade the dual core sandybridge cpu to a quad core, so i ordered a 2760qm for under 20$ from ebay. The performance was good and it ran the thinkpad a little hot but it was acceptable, especially since the heatsink is only rated for 35w and the 2760qm is 45w.

My second change was to improve the cooling and I had a few original ideas. I opened up the laptop, swapped the stock heatsink for one with a gpu heatpipe that came with some t420's (but not this one obv). As part of my original idea I decided to do my own version of the "copper tape" mod where I used thermal tape instead of copper tape (this mod aims to use copper tape to join the gpu heatpipe to the main heatpipe or heatpipes). My thought process is that copper tape is probablly better than nothing but the adhesive adds an insulating layer decreasing its effectiveness and copper tape isnt mesnt to be used like this so why not just use a tape made to move heat instead? Thermal tape should in theory be much better than copper tape since its actually designed for this kind of work, with the downside being it will eventually dry out like thermal pads and paste. I didnt just experiment with this new mod though I also tried adding thermal pads to the underside of the gpu heatpipe where it would contact the gpu, the idea here being thick folded thermal pads would fill the gap well and drain heat from around the cpu through the board. I figured it would at least be better than covering the whole gpu pipe with tape. Finally i drilled some holes beneath the fan for added airflow using a design printed on paper and taped to the inside of the case as a stencil. While I had the laptop dissasembled I figured i might as well swap the cpu out one more time since i noticed an elitebook I got had a 2860qm, the fastest 45w sandybridge laptop cpu. I also applied some thermal grizzle duronaut thermal paste since its added thickness should fill the slightly larger space between the cpu die and heatsink better.

And finally the results were astounding, I can stream 1080p 60 fps video and the fans hardly make a sound, the laptop is unbeleivably cool and quiet for a 14 year old cpu. Even the passmark scores were incredible, its multicore score in windows was 5268 and 5168 in linux vs the average of 4559, over 10% increase with just a cooling mod! Its singlecore scores were even better though with a 1717 in windows and an 1826 in linux vs the average of 1562 almost a 20% boost in performance with just a cooling mod, no overclocking OR underclocking! This 2860qm is besting the 2960xm by a large amount and its in spitting distance of the next generatioms best chip the 3940xm!

Im not sure if i lucked out and found a golden superperformimg 2860qm or if i discovered a new goated cooling mod for the t420/t430, i corebooted the laptop the other day and i have a 3940xm on its way from china so im gonna figure it out. Dont worry if the 3940xm is somehow too hot for my mod i have a w520 to put it in and a 3632qm on its way too, although if it is just a golden 2860qm i might keep using it since its scores are also much higher than the average 3632qm!

Theres other mods you can do, and im doing most of them. I already installed a modded bios to remove the wifi whitelist and ordered a wifi 7 compatible adapter, the modded bios also allows faster ram so i ordered 2 8gb 1866mhz ddr3l sticks. I got an express card to dual usb 3.0 adapter, I also bought a w520 charger and cut out the wedges so it woukd fit the t420. I threw in a 2tb msata ssd, found an xl slice battery for cheap on ebay (2, 9 cell batterys installed, i get over 10 hours of hd youtube streaming!) And lastly i ordered a 1080p ips panel and an adapter board for it. This is a lovely laptop with one of the best keyboard ive used ever, and its performance is astoundingly good.

For someone not wanting to go as far as me you could get a used t420 or t430 for under 50$ a 256gb ssd for 10$ a cheap quad core for 20$ or less and a charger for around 14$. Thats a sturdy, fast, reliable, and genuinly cool laptop for under 100$. It is luck of the draw if you get a good batt or not though, of the three I got 1 9 cell was in perfect health another 9 cell was worn but usable and the 6 cell was mostly used up, add 20$ if you get unlucky with the battery and another 10$ for an 8gb ram stick if yours comes with 4gb or less.
