That looks like a really handy resource.

Do this.

Whether it would fry the NFC tag or not, you want as little distance as possible between the wireless charger and phone. More distance is less efficient (more heat, more wasted power, slower charging).

We don’t talk about Bruno.

Yikes, thanks for the context. That original comment 🤢

Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause.

This is a friendly reminder that “propaganda” isn’t always evil. It’s just people trying to persuade people.

This picture is absolutely propaganda. It’s also absolutely something people need to see to help understand the very human cost of the actions their government is taking.

On the CPU side, the only Intel procs I’ve used are old enterprise gear for my homelab. No issues there.

On the GPU side, I’ve exclusively used Nvidia for… Actually I don’t remember the last time I used a non-nvidia GPU. The most common problem I’ve run into is updating my drivers and forgetting to reboot. the only other problem I’ve had is years back, I bought the latest gen card, and Nvidia hadn’t updated their official Linux drivers yet.

With your hardware, I’d expect things to work fine.

IIRC, there’s a harder, trusted process for measurement. But an easier method that has gained widespread adoption, and that method is what has been called into question.

Because of how wide and thin it is, it looks like a phased antenna array to me. It’s a way to create cheaper, performant antennas. You see this form factor with a bunch of RF applications in UHF to EHF range.

Here’s an example of a random mmWave radar board. Imagine a plastic case over this to keep out dust and rain.

The large flat one looks like radar to me. I hadn’t heard of radar being used with PTZ cameras. But you can also use it standalone to measure traffic flow.

If it isn’t radar, it’s something with a large, flat antenna (probably a phased array). The other two options I can think of are a long-range RFID scanner or a point-to-point network connection.

How does this handle grid power outages?

In my area, you’re required to prevent back feeding if the grid goes down (otherwise it can be hazardous for the linemen repairing the issue).

Maradona with an eye patch and peg leg.

This. Smart thermostats are pretty straightforward to install.

For the ultra wealthy, the value of their assets goes up faster than the interest rate of the loan.

I don’t know anything about that specific model, but one option for most mini split and window AC units is to get a smart IR blaster.

It’s the “adventure of a lifetime.”

So they can claim they don’t have authority to bring them back?

Alternatively, “No” is a complete sentence.

Also soy milk and almond milk.

Specifically, this shows current and future wildfire risks.

Is this a cool innovation? Yes. Over 100Gb/s wirelessly in a data center would be really cool.

Does this “rival fiber optic speed”? No.

Lay people don’t get how crazy amazing fiber optics is. Right now you can buy an off-the-shelf optical transceiver that does 800 Gb/s with a pair of passive fibers over 2km using a single wavelength. Why does it use a pair instead of a single fiber? Is 400 Gb/s the max you can transmit on a single fiber? No, it just makes the transceivers easier to make. I don’t know what the upper limit is per fiber, but it’s probably north of 100 Tb/s.

If this piques your interest, check out the Grace Hopper cable. It’s designed to carry 352 Tb/s across the Atlantic on 32 fibers. With all the protective layers, the cable is about the size of a garden hose.
