Even with your simplistic fossil fuel car in your example the alternator within can also be used as a motor.

Not by “simply reversing the flow” it can’t. You’d need to remove and replace many components, just like the example of changing an Rx to Tx system

An LED (or photodiode used as one) is a fairly simplistic device compared to an assembled receiver / transmitter. Just like you can burn gasoline in a car but you can’t push a car to turn the engine to make gasoline - it’s a complex system that really only works one way.

if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

Ehh not really. That’s kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

“It could be possible with some changes” the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I’m not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it’s definitely possible one does, but that’s not a guarantee at all

Magnetic field strength is proportional to current * number of turns.

Using a resistor should work but so should using 20gauge copper if the number of turns is the same.

It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.

Hvdc and a truly global grid brings substantial changes in what you’re saying. With solar energy being extremely cheap, and storage being relatively expensive, even if you have substantial transmission losses, it can be worthwhile to transmit that solar energy. Would a long undersea cable be more effective than huge battery banks? Hard to tell but I don’t think it’s something I’d write off without hard numbers, it’s likely closer than you think

That’s not a reason not to do something, that’s just a reason something’s hard. If it’s too costly to run wire that’s one thing, but singling Hawaii out is kinda weird. I could definitely see a world where cabling Hawaii up would be worth it. A one time cost for laying cable vs the current shipping of oil (or god forbid a pipeline)…

Why not Hawaii?

Most schools, you can have all the peanuts you like. Chances are pretty good that the lunches available in the cafeteria will be peanut -free, though

I also find that interesting, but what I don’t find interesting is the title or description of your post; that’s what he’s complaining about, not the content of the article.

Yeah, and I’m hopeful they’re more reliable without the on-brand hub, but we’ll see

There’s a lot of aqara “zigbee” stuff that just doesn’t work properly, even though it’s the same protocol. Also smart electric meters that have zigbee but not in a way that’s useful, just as another example

A better question is what are you achieving? Voting against your own interests

What’s the point of voting for the two choices you hate when there are other choices?

I don’t vote for the people you’re talking about

This doesn’t remove all background checks, so “immediately and without precondition” is facetious.

I agree with not selling weapons to known maniacs, but I also believe that if the govt knows someone’s dangerous enough that they shouldn’t own a gun for self defense, they already should have been removed from the general population and arrested/imprisoned etc, as they are still very dangerous to the general population without said firearm.

What a lot of whataboutism. I’m against all of that, too, but I can also be against limits on my rights of self defense.

It’s an adjustable monkey claw-back pry wrench. Check McMaster’s catalog

Driving two 4k monitors at 10b120hz is pretty overkill to use thunderbolt for, is kind of my point. Is anyone actually being limited by that?

Even with cameras, the storage generally isn’t that fast. CFexpress cards cant generally break 2GB/s, and even 8+k cameras generally record to that or maybe USB-C (and if you’re recording to a USBC device you’re probably just gonna use USBC instead of thunderbolt).

NVMe that can do sustained write speeds like that will be full in a few minutes, unless you’re offloading to a massive high speed array over 10+gbit networking it just kind of seems like why bother?

Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of going to faster interfaces for the sake of speed, but I have experienced almost zero real use of thunderbolt in real life, and I usually keep a pretty good eye out. My real question was mostly focused on whether there are people actually using thunderbolt and if they’re actually limited by 40gbps and I’m kinda just bitching at this point

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!
