I do not understand, average wattage/power would be integration of wattage (joules) divided by time (so back to watts), it’s still watts? Under what implementation would you end up with joules that isn’t just oddly broken in general? I

Ok, until you can sue the AI you need to find a doctor ok putting their license behind saying “I have no idea how this shiny thing works”. There are indeed some that will, but not a consensus.

Text layout is hard and unfortunately drivers and firmware are often buggy (and as printing is lower and lower margin that doesn’t get better). But just throwing a weird language engine in doesn’t actually solve any of those problems.

What do you mean by “HAOS on docker”. HAOS is a standalone complete Linux system with its own fully managed kernel, not meant to be containerized. It uses docker internally itself though and “pass through” works transparently. If you’re tal

by epcoa 2y ago
HAOS uses docker to containerize everything, so it can’t be that difficult, and it really is not. Docker has a —-device flag for this purpose, udev makes it easy enough to assign stable names.

This is very cool. But, bus from New York to St Louis and then backtrack on Amtrak. Ouch. I know the train options from NYP to CHI are slow, but I didn’t think they’re that slow (they’re not)! Nevermind having to take a greyhound for 1000 m
