FWIW, things are standardized and keyed on the ATX board side of things. They aren't standardized on the power supply side of a modular power supply. Unless you've absolutely confirmed pinouts, never swap cables between modular po

Exactly. It's the same thing as video or audio encoding and decoding. Sure the CPU could do it, potentially use the GPU, but having actual hardware encoders and decoders for the most common codecs will save a lot of energy.

If their clocks are actually synchronized and can show that in court then unless you've got a warp drive and can bend space time it can be pretty definitive that one was speeding between those two points. Especially if you're on s

I'm in North Texas and get more channels than that OTA. I still almost always prefer the streaming services I pay for than the linear, ad-supported old TV format.

The store closest to me repurposed about half of its floor space as pretty much warehouse space for online orders. They even repurposed half the doors for pickup/return lockers.

So tires with 2/32nds will have better grip in the rain than warmed up fresh ones? They just get better until they pop? That must be the reason why race cars only use heavily worn tires instead of fresh ones when they race. Engine lubr

Looking at 2021 Mach E Premiums around me in good shape and normal mileage, most are ~$22k. The car was originally $49k MSRP. So ~45% retained value, I rounded. Mea culpa. But when you factor in that the original owner really got it for $7,

But if the CO2 recently came from the atmosphere it's still a net zero impact though. Like, take 5 units of carbon out of the atmosphere to create the fuel. Burn it and release 5 units of carbon to the atmosphere. What's the net

This isn't necessarily true. Most cylinders storing compressed gasses need to be hydrostatically tested in regular intervals to ensure continued safety and will need replacement when they fail. Other kinds of composite cylinders have f

Used models for my five year old EV are still selling for ~50% of what I paid for, so no, its far worse than most EVs.

Who do you think was involved in this supreme court case? Who was racially profiling people and doing the harassment based on race again? Which group was doing this policy that the SC gave a green stamp to continue doing?
