   Based on my experience selling USB 3.0 PCIe cards, the ones that supply 5.0V directly off the PSU are more likely to maintain voltage at higher currents than ones with an on-board buck circuit. And it's one less part that can fail. I

   So they're marketing tobacco vaporizers and trying to push it as an upscale luxury good. Most people here know how hard it is to watch someone die of tobacco related illness, just a terrible way out. How is this company that has prof

   Forgive me if this is off-topic. I am currently in the market for a queen size mattress in a box. The last one that I bought on Amazon was perfect, it cost about $300. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F8NNL8X It is no l

    I agree. There is no way a guy like Trump could have won without being independently wealthy. Will Trump spend one moment reflecting on the moral way to spend his enormous reelection campaign budget?

    I appreciate the sentiment, but for those of us who have been negatively impacted by the policies of the current administration, it is worrying that a candidate with broad appeal has failed to materialize at this point.

    I have often seen resistors used as fuses in cheap designs, but I have never seen a wirewound resistor used in this way. It is for current limiting to reduce peak load on the cheap components. Although it would probably be the next thing t

    So 1000 of these and I can power a 1W LED. But after 20 years it will only be 0.3W. This is comparable to RF power harvesting. What are the use cases for such minuscule amounts of power? Remote sensors?

    I think that is unfair to MySQL. MySQL is and always has been a fantastic piece of code and to my surprise it has developed and improved under Oracle's stewardship.

    Lovely icons, but I have been finding it so much simpler to just use unicode characters when I need icons. I can't always find exactly what I want, but I can usually get close enough and the simplicity is sublime.
