That’s a common misconception. It’s the Amps that cause fires, not the voltage.
The 5090 uses 600W, at 12V that’s 50A, but at 120V that’d only be 5A and at 240V only 2.5A.
50A melts cables and burns your PC down, 2.5A won’t. The only risk of higher voltages is that they can jump across small air gaps much easier.
when you do need power you need a special circuit.
We also have a standard socket and a high power socket.
Expect our normal outlets provide 230V 16A 3.5kW (3kW sustained) and the typical high power outlets outlets provide 400V 30A 11kW or 400V 60A 21kW.
Which is why typical electric stoves here use 11kW and typical instant water heaters use 21kW.
Though probably the most noticeable advantage is in electric car charging.
That’s definitely wrong. You should follow danielle’s mastodon, she’s working on elementary all the time.
Fdroid only gained the ability to auto update apps a while ago, so that’s why you got that prompt.
Also, if the permissions an app requests change, fdroid can’t always auto-update it.
You need to be able to have multiple nodes in one LAN access ports on each others’ containers without exposing those to the world and without using additional firewalls in front of the nodes.
That’s why kubernetes ended up removing docker support and instead recommends podman or using containerd natively.
There’s no alternative for 0.0.0.0 and a firewall if you’re e.g. using kubernetes.
That assumes you’re on some VPS with a hardware firewall in front.
Often enough you’re on a dedicated server that’s directly exposed to the internet, with those iptables rules being the only thing standing between your services and the internet.
Even half an hour next to the PA without special ear plugs is enough to permanently harm your hearing.
What you’re describing used to be right under X11, but under Wayland the compositor handles all rendering itself. For Gnome that’s mutter, which is also maintained by the gnome project.
Seriously, stop being an asshole. Coil whine is a well-documented behaviour that creates a loud, high pitched noise.
As coil whine is at the very limit of what human hearing can accomplish, it doesn’t take much until you’re unable to hear it. So you’re likely too old or went to too many concerts to be able to hear it.
Good ears? the question is when, not where, and the answer is half a lifetime ago.
Don’t SteamVR tools work on linux as well? Not that it’d help in your situation, where you’re stuck with proprietary GPU drivers and proprietary VR tools.
Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.
So how do you juggle having to see dozens of windows at the same time then?
I’m a software dev as well.
But I often layer multiple windows in the same tile of the screen. e.g. I may have the IDE with the software I’m working on in one tile, the IDE with the library source code I’m working with in the second tile, and a live build of the app in the third tile. But I’ve also got documentation, as a website, in the same tile as the IDE with the lib’s source.
Now when I switch between the IDE with the lib’s source, and the browser with the lib’s documentation, I only want that tile to change. No problem, with KDEs taskbar and window switcher I can quickly do that.
But when using the applications menu on Gnome I get a disrupting UI across all screens that immediately rips me out of whatever I was doing.
Why’d you have to use TC? KDEs dolphin can do all that natively.
Personally, configuring KDE was much simpler and more robust compared to the dozen addons I needed for Gnome, which also broke every now and then after updates.
I tried that, but IMO it’s much simpler and more robust to just configure KDE than to install a dozen Gnome extensions that end up broken after updates anyway.
Unless you’re writing ruby on rails on a 13" macbook, you’ll run into Gnome’s limitations when working.
Gnome is in many ways so focused that it makes a lot of productivity use impossible. You always have to open the menu to launch software, you’ve got no system tray, and worst of all, Gnome apps are so simplified that you constantly run into the limitations when using it productively.
When working with dozens of windows open at the same time across multiple monitors, I’m a fan of KDE. And KDE apps tend to also have all the extra features I need to handle weird situations, files, and edge cases.
The 50€ Patreon tier perks include “everything ad-free”. And there’s no repo or source available anywhere.
WTF
The recent technology connections video cited a lot of statistics on this topic, and at least household fires are primarily caused by overcurrent, not by arcing.
You probably know more than me — I only studied compsci with ee as minor — but from my personal experience, I’ve seen many cases where overcurrent caused damage, burns or fire, but I can’t remember a single case where arcing caused actual damage.
Even in cheap chinesium powerstrips, the primary cause of fires is overcurrent due to AWG 22 copper clad iron wire, not arcing. (Though the switches usually weld themselves together after a few dozen uses).
