Is hardly extra work, just a tune to reduce bust. From manufacturer point of view it makes sense, less boost is less stress on engine and less warranty claims.

This is where inverter microwaves come into play, lower constant power to let the heat conduct evenly.

Its been my experience too, they mainly want the eye candy of the prompt to compliment their macbook.

Next step is to connect the sensor to a can of pressured brake fluid that sprays onto the paintwork of vehicles passing too close.

I did similar for my lights, I just have a cronjob on my router that runs "sunwait" utility to pause until sunset, then uses curl to hit the "power on" endpoint of my $15 sonoff switch flashed with tasmota. Manual on&#x2

Would be surprised if they didn't have optoisolators to cater for that scenario

Its not the hardware keyboard buffer, its the tty readline or equivalent buffer which ends up being a like a stack of commands for the app which pops off the next buffered line after the previous line has processed. Although I'm sure i

The difference is keystroke buffering - the agent in sabre can type ahead while the system is processing a transaction, the web/gui user has to wait for each screen to load.

End of the day I don't care if it's same binary or not, i just want my apps and tooling to work the way they have always worked.

It's called open source - I'm confident in 30 years time there will still be a vim port to whatever OS is in vogue.

They have always been part of the price. In the past tariffs were implemented or modified with a long notice period so businesses could plan ahead. Now they are being added or changed at the whim of a tantrum with no notice, so of course pr

It wasn't overengineered, it was well engineered. It was cheaper than a PC and much nicer to use - Windows was terrible in that era, the janky mouse jumping all over the place under load due to no hardware sprite and serial buffer over

Pretty much exactly the same - I was at university at the time and heard of this slackware Linux thing - my Amiga was hardly used after that.

Doom was indeed the death knell of the Amiga - most Amiga games were still targeting ECS due to market share and were pretty much rehashes of old titles. Doom came along and was the first PC game that was standout with "must have"

I recall reading commodore had a glut of PC cases and tooling they wanted to use up, hence the weird case for the A4000 with the mouse ports cut out inconveniently on the side.

how can a device connected to a power point disconnect from the grid?

by nikau 2y ago
How do you avoid electrocuting a linesman? Don't products like a powerwall have a disconnect relay to ensure there is no backfeed? I can't see how this product can backfeed to the household circuit safety/legally unless ther

If that's the case i would be interested to see the savings when you consider loses from batteries vs direct consumption at the time. I'm not trying to poo poo the product, just some honest analysis of what it can do and the cost

In the case I don't get the mesh network commentary and self healing talk - comes across as a total con job. Wtf would I care about managing the real time draw from the grid for a tarted up UPS

by nikau 2y ago
This whole discussion is very confusing to me - is this just a UPS you have to plug all your items into, or does it somehow back feed into the plug to power the circuit? If it's the former it's nothing new and inconvenient, if it

by nikau 2y ago
Im having trouble understanding this, if you back feed into a circuit why wouldn't it go out via the beaker and onto the power grid?

Call me a boomer, but I preferred old apps that had a consistent interface instead of all the random wheel inventing.

linkedin is still the defacto way to quickly check if a candidate is being truthful about their employment history. If they don't list the companies they claim to have worked at or have no connections to them its a red flag.
