Measured Comparison of Capacitors and Inductors Across Different Brands and Types (D, Q, ESR, X)
Using a Zhongchuang ET4410 LCR bridge, the author measured inductance, capacitance, Q/D, ESR, and reactance of various inductors and capacitors at 100Hz–100kHz. Iron-silicon-aluminum toroidal inductors showed peak Q at 10kHz; SMD inductors performed better at high frequency. Solid capacitors significantly outperformed electrolytics, with Rubycon best among electrolytics. Capacitance dropped after 10kHz for electrolytics, while monolithic capacitors had high low-frequency ESR/reactance. The article provides full data tables and a spreadsheet.
Open-Source Three-Phase Energy Meter: Simplifying Home Electricity Monitoring
An open-source three-phase power meter for home energy monitoring uses three PZEM-004T modules with an ESP32-C3 running ESPHome, uploading voltage, current, power, power factor, and energy data to HomeAssistant over Wi-Fi. It measures 80–260V per phase, up to 100A, with 0.5% accuracy. Design files, firmware, and enclosure models are provided.
Guide: Installing macOS on an External Drive for Mac Mini (Retaining Data & Apps)
Migrating macOS to an external SSD on a 2024 Mac Mini avoids expensive Apple upgrades. The guide details formatting the drive as APFS with GUID Partition Map, creating a separate data volume, downloading macOS Sequoia, installing to the external drive, and using Migration Assistant to preserve apps and data. Internal macOS remains intact, allowing flexible startup disk switching.

Test and Teardown of a 120W Charger Bought for 2.6 Yuan on Douyin Mall
A 2.6-yuan charger claiming 120W output was tested and torn down. It supported multiple protocols but delivered only 15.6W max with high ripple and ~80% efficiency. Teardown revealed substandard components, including a small 6.8μF filter capacitor and unidentified chips. The author advises against purchasing such power supplies due to poor quality and misleading performance.
