Suggest what to make

I’ve only ever had black coffee or regular milk coffee my whole life, so I don’t really know what else to try. Suggest something genuinely good that I can either order or make at home.

I already have:

- Milk

- Coffee

- Ice cream

- Chocolate syrup

- Ice

- Milk frother

- Condensed milk

- Milk powder

I’m open to trying something different—just suggest something that actually tastes really good.

Connecting two addressable LED strips without soldering

I have two 1m/34-LED addressable strips running on an ESP + WLED. Both strip works perfectly by itself, but I want to make them a single 68-LED strip for ambient lighting.

Both strips have factory connectors on one end. The opposite end doesn't work when I connect DATA there, presumably because the strips are directional (DIN → DOUT).

How can I connect the two strips using their existing connectors, without soldering? Is there a 3-pin extension/coupler I can use?

Or if there is any configuration in wled that lets me start first led first then at end second led them that would be great too

Help with monochromatic

So it's a monochromatic light here led is burning really dim and inoperable from wled interface too i don't think the led is properly connecting I don't know where I messed up need help please

Specs

Monochromatic

12v

Just two ports plus and minus please help

Ps checked everything separately all things are individually working fine

P.S. Update: I noticed something really weird while troubleshooting. When I connect the LED strip directly to the 12V power supply, two specific LEDs on the strip don't light up at all. However, when I run the strip through the IRLZ44N MOSFET/PWM setup, those exact same two LEDs start glowing. The rest of the strip also behaves differently depending on the setup. The 12V adapter and strip work when tested separately, and applying 3.3V directly to the MOSFET gate makes the strip go to full brightness. Any idea why those two LEDs would glow through the MOSFET/PWM circuit but remain completely off when the strip is connected directly to 12V?

Solved it mosfet was fked will have to get new one

Need help in making this and addressable led work

I’m building a 12V analog RGB LED strip controller using an ESP32 + WLED + 3 IRLZ44N MOSFETs. The ESP32 is powered separately through USB from my laptop, while the LED strip uses a separate 12V adapter. The ESP32 GND and 12V supply GND are supposed to be common.

The circuit is wired like the standard analog RGB MOSFET setup: the strip’s +12V goes directly to the 12V supply, and the R/G/B channels go through the MOSFET drains. MOSFET sources share GND, and the ESP32 GPIOs connect to the MOSFET gates through 220Ω resistors.

I originally had 10kΩ gate-to-GND pulldown resistors, but I only had two 22kΩ resistors available, so I was working around that. There was also a 10kΩ resistor/connection between two points (1 and 3) that I ended up replacing with a direct connection/no resistor, which may be relevant.

The strange behavior is:

The LED strip does respond electrically to removing/connecting the R/G/B wires.

For example, disconnecting the red channel causes the LEDs to show red, and disconnecting other channels produces the corresponding/mixed colors.

So the LEDs and MOSFET side aren't completely dead.

However, WLED cannot actually control the colors.

When the ESP32 is switched off, the LED strip doesn't light/respond at all.

When the ESP32 is connected, it flickers/restarts (the ESP32's red/power LED appears to flicker), although I can still access the WLED web interface.

The main problem I'm stuck on is that the ESP32/WLED is not properly controlling the MOSFETs/LED channels, and the ESP32 appears to be experiencing a power/reset/flickering issue when the 12V LED circuit is connected.

I want to troubleshoot it one connection at a time, without changing the whole circuit blindly.

PS - also uploaded the diagram i followed

Help me selecting

I’ve never tried black coffee before. I usually drink Bellavita Hazelnut Coffee with milk, without sugar, both hot and cold.

I want to try black coffee or maybe start with a partially black coffee, but I don’t want to get hit with a “bazooka” of bitterness on my first try.

What coffee would you recommend for a beginner? I’d prefer something smooth, slightly sweet/chocolatey, and not extremely bitter. Ideally, it should also taste good with milk in case I don’t enjoy it black.

This shit is weird

WLED + ESP32 somehow reacts to my fan switch with ZERO physical connection

This is probably the weirdest electronics coincidence I've come across 😂

I have an ESP running WLED, connected to my laptop through a USB hub. The USB hub also powers several other devices, and everything works normally.

There's a ceiling fan in the room controlled by a completely separate wall switch.

There is absolutely no physical connection between the fan switch/circuit and the ESP setup. Different board, no GPIO connection, no relay, nothing.

But here's the weird part:

When I turn the fan OFF, my WLED lights suddenly turn ON.

If I don't turn the fan off, the lights don't do it.

The ESP is only connected to my laptop via USB. The fan isn't connected to the laptop, USB hub, ESP, LED controller, or anything else in the setup.

So I'm genuinely curious: how is this even possible?

The other devices connected to the same USB hub don't seem to react at all.

Could this realistically be mains noise/EMI causing the ESP to reset or glitch, or am I just witnessing an extremely specific coincidence?

I'm more curious about the mechanism than looking for a fix.

Monitor Help

I'm looking to buy a monitor for both gaming and productivity to use with my laptop. My laptop already has an IPS display, so I want something that feels like a genuine upgrade. My requirements are:

QHD (1440p) resolution or higher (IPS)

At least 180Hz refresh rate

Compatible with a laptop setup

What would be the best monitor options for my use case and budget is around 15k inr (160 USD aprox)

Settings menu completely broken in main menu and campaign — works fine online

Whenever I open settings from the main menu it just snaps back to the menu. In campaign mode, the screen freezes on the last in-game frame (game isn't actually frozen, pressing Escape brings it back fine).

Online mode works perfectly though which is weird.

Already tried: verifying files, reinstalling, deleting local config. Nothing worked.

Anyone else facing this or know a fix?
