Maybe I am running low on coffee because I felt like I was having a stroke while reading this post.
>However, the “safe” is only valid if e.g. the used supply lines from the power supply with “native” 12VHPWR connector have a good quality and 16AWG lines or at least the used 12VHPWR to 4x 6+2 pin adapter also offers what it promises.
Like what is this? I know those words, but that sentence makes no sense.
- ideamotor 4y agoActually, that is NOT (as such), “how I feel” when I read articles like this - NOT written by professionals (But who is one anyways) - Confucius says, which I tend to agree, which if you, like me, concur.
- cmsj 4y agoIgor is awesome, but his English has to be read with a generous spirit ;)
- ideamotor 4y agoI didn’t realize the author was non-native so now I feel bad, thank you.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoHis English is way more comprehensible than my German.
- programmer_dude 4y agoDo you also write incomprehensible articles in German? :)
- treeman79 4y agoThat’s exactly what it feels like to have a mild stroke. I know these words individually.
- dheera 4y agoI really don't understand why power connectors aren't just + and - anymore. There's no reason for more than 2 connectors. What is this 12-pin Molex bullshit? Why the hell would you need 12 pins? Use some Anderson PowerPole connectors, XT30/60/90, or some other connector designed to handle high currents.

- numpad0 4y agoTotally agreed. I’m guessing they wanted to do it with minimal change in tools and materials.
- yaddaor 4y agoThe site is hosted on a .de domain, so there is a very chance that the author is German. It would have been nice if you had considered that before writing such angry and negative words about the author's work.
- fazfq 4y agoWhere do you see the anger in my message? I thought that the "stroke" part made it clear that my comment was facetious.
- programmer_dude 4y agoYou should feel bad he is also not a native speaker :)
- yaddaor 4y ago"Reading what they wrote made me feel I was having a stroke" is kind of an unnecessary exaggeration. But yeah, my comment was as well. Fistbump!

However, the “safe” designation for the connector is only valid if e.g. the used cables from the power supply, with a “native” 12VHPWR connector, are of good quality, and the 16AWG cables or at least the used 12VHPWR-to-4x6+2-pin-adapter also live up to what they promise.
- kotlin2 4y agoI don’t think it’s valid to use “only” with “e.g”. “e.g” means it’s an example, which implies the existence of other cases that satisfy the criteria. “Only” implies some uniqueness of the subject.
- klodolph 4y agoI would say that it’s valid. “It’s legal to drive only if e.g. you have a driver’s license.” It’s not a great way to say things but it is meaningful. The meaning is “only if [unspecified list of things], and [x] is an example of an item in that list”. > However, the “safe” is only valid if e.g. the used supply lines from the power supply with “native” 12VHPWR connector have a good quality and 16AWG lines or at least the used 12VHPWR to 4x 6+2 pin adapter also offers what it promises. Here’s my interpretation: > However, the term “safe” is only valid if certain things are true, e.g., the used supply lines from the power supply with “native” 12VHPWR connector are of good quality… I can’t interpret the rest of the sentence.
- lelandfe 4y agoIt does appear the e.g may be dropped here but it’s not hard to think of ways to use the two together: “It’s only safe given certain conditions, e.g x”
