Thanks for the interesting write-up!

Thanks, I’ll have a look. It’s an universal mains power supply with no voltage switch.

How were you measuring the current in the power cable? Is this with a Kill-o-watt device or perhaps with a clamp meter and a line splitter?

For the current both with a line-splitter+clamp and checked with an in-line meter. For the power factor, since I don’t have any actual instrument to measure It, and I just needed a ball-park figure to discern actual consumption from a capacitor, I used this diy method: https://www.giangrandi.org/electronics/cosphi/cosphi.shtml , which measured 0.04 ( with great approximation ).

As for why there is a capacitor across the mains input […]

I have the basic on how a switching power supply work, but I was asking because it seemed weird to me that commercial appliances didn’t take any stand-by meaures to avoid “keeping the wires warm”… is this the norm?

Which bridge do you use? do you self-host it?

you’d almost certainly notice the change in gravity.

Really? can you actually percieve the sun gravity? Do you mean that we would get like a tsunami beause of the tidal effect? Now I kinda want a documentary about this.

I’ll add something which is not mentioned: Unreal Engine, one of the most popular game engines, is source available, but not open source. Many games modify it but its then impossible to release those sources. I’m guessing that it’s the same with many other engines…

If you throw it in just before it’s boiling yes, you will see the water bubble up for a moment for the reason you said… once dissolved if anything at those amounts, it raises the boiling temp a little

Since italy pays those countries to “guard their coasts”, there have been many instances where peoples were forced to board these ships and “charity ships” were notified before hand in a sort of human-traffic type of business that makes profitable to enlarge the issue, there are multiple sides to these stories, It’s not that simple unfortunately…not that I agree with what Italy is currently doing rn of course

No there aren’t just disable it from tarallo_settings!

Yeah “dissipate away” is probably a bit misleading but I meant that the heat source is mainly the surface since it’s difficult to heat the thin outer layers directly, and from there heat moves up thorough ir radiation or adiabatic expansion. But it’s not like mountains are cooled down by adiabatic expansion, since the air wouldn’t move up without a temperature gradient, which means that it cannot get colder that the mountains already are. So I would think they are simply farther away form surface heat radiation and have thinner air that don’t assorb heat…

Sorry i didn’t meant to be misleading, just to discuss! However after checking on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate I omitted that lower pressure air at high altitude absorb/emit less heat, but what I wrote is not wrong, just incomplete…

Without checking, I would say that it’s because the heat dissipate away from the planet and the hot air will eventually cool down while rising? My understanding is that it’s hot near sea level because it’s where the heat from the sun gets reflected and radiated from the earth surface, correct me if I’m wrong…

Exactly, making everyone to switch over to something else is impossible…l’ll uninstall it as soon as they roll this out

Thanks much better, however “Correlation does not imply causation” which is obvious in this case (and as the source itself say, the correlation is probably about education instead etc). The problem is much more complex and trying to explain it with a simple correlation is a bit naive, however you can’t deny how much of an economic struggle raising a kid is for the average income family…

The source you linked tells that more developed countries have less kids, which is almost unrelated to how “affordable” having a child is, which infact have the opposite trend.

In one of my jobs, they were automatically locking any push 2 hours before the shift ended.

The main downside of Tuta free for me is that you can’t create filters for free. The main downside of proton free is that you can’t remove their signature…

I’ll give a different perspective on what you said: dx12 basically moved half of the complexity that would normally be managed by a driver, to the game / engine dev, which already have too much stuff to do: making the game. The idea is that “the game dev knows best how to optimize for its specific usage” but in reality the game dev have no time to deal with hardware complexity and this is the result.

I only tried this with windows which works fine: on restore Clonezilla has an option to rescale partitions on the fly to fit the destination drive. For drivers, windows detect changes and update them the first time is started on the physical machine.
