I use mine as an ultra low-cost self-hosting machine. I have the cheapest dual-core NUC 11 (bnuc11atkc2) with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD (figured that would be enough) running Debian in a poorly ventilated IKEA cabinet. It runs Pi-hole, Home A

Not who you’re replying to, but I’m from the Czech Republic, have been driving for 10+ years, live in Prague (the capital), I have never even seen valet parking anywhere. Even the local Hilton hotel doesn’t have it.

There was an amazing physics sandbox game called Algodoo (formerly Phun), it’s been abandoned I think, but the last version is still playable and even available on iPad.

It’s a planetary gear, three shafts go in. The ICE one is stopped, the wheels one is driven by an electric motor and the third one is rotating freely.

Not scientific, but literally just stand next to a road. A normal car driving at speed makes a “whoosh” noise, not a “vroom” noise.

Nope, Toyota uses a pretty complicated arrangement of an ICE mechanically linked to the wheels and two electric motors able to send power back and forth and a planetary gear transmission between them. It’s an amazing system that makes it fe

It’s true that most accessories in the car are electric, but the ICE is a full blown, powerful car engine that’s mechanically connected to the wheels and that in some regimes directly drives the car. I don’t think that was what OP meant.

EVs don’t allow that. Either you’re driving or charging.

That’s called a series hybrid and very few cars use that configuration. BMW i3 had a series hybrid version that was discontinued a few years ago, and there was the Chevy Volt (also discontinued).

I you don’t need it, you don’t need it, but I don’t understand the first sentence. Many different displays support DDC, my Philips at home does and the Dells and I think BenQ that we have at the office do too.

There’s a Mac app called Lunar that uses DDC (a protocol for sending commands to a screen) to allow you to adjust the brightness and volume of an external monitor with the usual keys on your MacBook keyboard (in clamshell mode at least) or

On one hand, simply going back from MagSafe to wired charging would probably save significantly more CO2 (wireless charging is inefficient as hell), but my guess is that this is mostly a way to draw attention to the problem. To subtly injec

But why would there be elevated pressure? Headphones can't pump air into your ear, they can only make it wiggle back and forth. ANC headphones use the same speaker that normally plays your music and just mix the noise-cancelling sound

ANC uses destructive interference to quite literally cancel the sound waves coming from the outside. It reduces sound pressure by definition.
