The recent technology connections video cited a lot of statistics on this topic, and at least household fires are primarily caused by overcurrent, not by arcing.
You probably know more than me — I only studied compsci with ee as minor — but from my personal experience, I've seen many cases where overcurrent caused damage, burns or fire, but I can't remember a single case where arcing caused actual damage.
Even in cheap chinesium powerstrips, the primary cause of fires is overcurrent due to AWG 22 copper clad iron wire, not arcing. (Though the switches usually weld themselves together after a few dozen uses).
That's a common misconception. It's the Amps that cause fires, not the voltage.
The 5090 uses 600W, at 12V that's 50A, but at 120V that'd only be 5A and at 240V only 2.5A.
50A melts cables and burns your PC down, 2.5A won't. The only risk of higher voltages is that they can jump across small air gaps much easier.
when you do need power you need a special circuit.
We also have a standard socket and a high power socket.
Expect our normal outlets provide 230V 16A 3.5kW (3kW sustained) and the typical high power outlets outlets provide 400V 30A 11kW or 400V 60A 21kW.
Which is why typical electric stoves here use 11kW and typical instant water heaters use 21kW.
Though probably the most noticeable advantage is in electric car charging.
The affordable Sony Xperia 10 series is really good. My new Xperia runs circles around my OG Pixel, costs basically nothing, is waterproof, has upgradable storage and a headphone jack, and besides Apple, Google and Intel, Sony is the only manufacturer that actually has working bluetooth.
You're absolutely right on that count. If you switch fast enough, everything has a capacitance. That's why with CMOS designs once you go above a few kHz you start worrying about fan out.
It's also why, once the ceiling is reached, everything starts using modulation tricks previously used in RF. Ethernet started with 1GbE, USB with 3.0, DSL did it from the start, with PCIe even gamers have probably seen eye diagrams in riser tests, and coax is the very definition of pushing RF over a wire.
Yes, of course there is error correction. Also, while the SSD is on power, it'll constantly go through all data and fix the areas that are starting to deteriorate.
But this does mean an SSD left without power will slowly lose data over months and years.
This also means that writing data is much slower and the SSD can handle far fewer writes. But the tradeoff is that TLC and QLC SSDs can handle 2× and 4× more data than MLC SSDs for the same price.
That's why MLC SSDs are primarily used for professional use and TLC and QLC is primarily used for gamers.
Some TLC and QLC SSDs even allow you to choose how much of the SSD should be used as SLC/MLC space (4× less data, 4× faster writes, 4× more endurance) and which part should be used as TLC/QLC (4× more data, 4× slower changes, 4× less endurance).
SSDs aren't just that simple. All of them have at least some SLC area, usually as cache, that's in base 2. But the rest of the SSD can be SLC base 2, MLC base 4, TLC base 8 or even QLC base 16.
And overall it's still base 2 because each SSDs pretend one block of base 4 is just two blocks of base 2, and accordingly they pretend a block of base 16 is just 8 blocks of base 2 storage.
ESS is a product built on top of a precisely tuned synapse with custom additions, but it's still synapse underneath.
You need to be able to have multiple nodes in one LAN access ports on each others' containers without exposing those to the world and without using additional firewalls in front of the nodes.
That's why kubernetes ended up removing docker support and instead recommends podman or using containerd natively.
There's no alternative for 0.0.0.0 and a firewall if you're e.g. using kubernetes.
That assumes you're on some VPS with a hardware firewall in front.
Often enough you're on a dedicated server that's directly exposed to the internet, with those iptables rules being the only thing standing between your services and the internet.
If parcel A has a property value of X
And parcel B has a property value of 2X
Then you can have the same rent on both of them if building B is twice as tall as building A.
The whole "single family residential only" zoning in the US is the issue.
The UK spent decades convincing everyone that all bad decisions are made by the EU and all good decisions are made by Westminster. That's the first mistake.
If the UK had properly educated its citizens about what the EU actually was and did, no remain campaign would've been necessary whatsoever. But it was politically convenient to have a scapegoat.
And let's be honest, remain aka "remoaners" had a ton of arguments all the time. But brexiteers just wanted to enter the magical land where the UK still mattered and they'd eat their cake and have it still.
Cloudflare actually had to disable them because someone managed to automate them with AI too.
Sure, it'd be a solution for five minutes until someone delids the secure enclave on the gaming card, extracts the keys, and builds their own open source hw alternative.
High-performance FPGAs are actually relatively cheap if you take apart broken elgato/bmd capture cards, just a pain in the butt to reball and solder them. But possibly the cheapest way to be able to emulate any chip you could want.
It's still 8MB for non-nitro users.
I still run the last pre-JS version of the discord app on my phone, and it's sooo much snappier.
Element has the same costs as Signal. So far, Element has been lucky in being able to raise money by selling support contracts to governments or companies using Matrix, but even that isn't enough, which is why Element has been raising money for the Matrix Foundation for almost a year now (with little success).
Are we sure it's Sony and not just Zaslav again?
