You have to be careful about that too, the code isn’t written to be easily understood by casual reading.
For example, the code will describe your hot, neutral, and ground wires as “ungrounded, grounded, and grounding” wires. Applying rules meant for a “grounding” wire to a “grounded” wire can have serious issues.
The whole code is written like that, where it’s really easy to get confused if you don’t understand the exact terminology it uses.
As an electrician, it’s difficult to give good electrical advice over the internet.
First of all, you don’t know how capable someone actually is at doing work. There’s both a knowledge and a technique requirement for quality work. Bad electrical work can easily cause house fires and death, if I tell someone online how to fix an issue, and they electrocute themselves or burn down their house, I’m partially responsible for that.
Second, it’s hard to give good advice on how something should be done without seeing it in person. Small details that are hard to get from a description or image can change how stuff is required to be done, and the code is complicated and has lots of exceptions and different requirements. Also different areas have different code requirements, and different AHJ requirements, so fully accurate advice has to come from an electrician in your actual area.
Final thing I’ll mention is that getting qualified as an electrician is hard. Getting a full electrical license where I live requires 8 years of experience (4 years being directly supervised, then 4 years of light supervision). You also have to pass a pretty difficult exam, electricians usually spend 6+ months studying hard and taking training classes for the exam, and then it still has an abysmal first attempt pass rate and normally takes many attempts to eventually pass. Ultimately after all of that (8 years, months of focused study and classes, multiple test attempts), 25-30% of people are never able to pass and get their full license.
With all that considered, I’m happy to give advice to other electricians online. If they’re already certified I can have some confidence that they have the knowledge and skills to do a good job with any advice given. However trying to give actually good, responsible advice to someone who is uncertified and a complete unknown on terms of skill/knowledge/location with only a partial knowledge of their problems and setup, it’s hard. It’s much easier to recommend they just get a licensed electrician from their area to take a look at it.
Generally the same culture, but skewed towards more tech savvy types and online-centric culture groups. It’s a lot smaller than reddit, which helps a lot with the quality of interactions, but I think if it grew enough it would end up very close to reddit culture.
Ars Technica is generally excellent in my experience, one of the better tech news websites.
These are both on the Lenovo Legion Go S. The significance here is that there’s both official OEM windows and official OEM steamOS for this device.
Windows uses a lot of power just existing, so you can’t get any of the windows handhelds down to a low power consumption. I remember when the Rig Ally first came out, the verge tested it using 5-8w of power on the steam deck, and using 16-22w of power on the Ally. Some of that is the hardware (the Deck has a really power efficient chip for low power games), but a lot of it is windows.
Yeah you’re right, I had mostly been looking at the difference between the steam deck and legion Go S on that chart and barely even noticed the difference between windows on the legion Go S there.
My understanding is it’s mostly just the advantage of not having windows running hogging resources, so it should be a bigger gain for CPU bound games.
**Edit ** There can be performance gains from using vulkan over DirectX too, so there probably are GPU gains as well. It will depend on the game though
I think this screenshot is pretty telling.
Google maps auto suggests that restaurant name if you start searching for it, but then fails to actually pull up the location. Checking the actual maps location shows nothing there.
It’s pretty wild that this game is still in development, I remember reading about it back in 2012/13 ish.
Most models now are .safetensor files which are supposed to be safe, but I know in the past there were issues where other model filetypes actually could have attack payloads in them.
Apparently the video was presented after the verdict was already issued. This video had no impact on the actual outcome of the trial, and was more of just a closing statement.
So the judge didn’t approve this a testimony, but just found it emotionally touching.
I just recently bought a dryer. When I first got my printer, I was printing pretty constantly and didn’t really have an issue with wet filament. But these days I’ve slowed down my printing frequency a lot, and I’ve definitely noticed that the print quality gets worse the longer I’ve had the roll unsealed.
Japan in general has weird copyright/patent laws. For example the whole palworld patent lawsuits.
Good news is it probably won’t affect people outside of Japan, except that it will stunt games/etc made in Japan.
Or new incognito window.
I feel like this won’t stop anyone who was already refusing to use a Microsoft account for windows. Anyone who was already bypassing the account requirement will still do so, it just will be more difficult. They’ve accomplished nothing except further pissing off some of their most competent user base.
They’re worried about advertising growth, not user growth. If anything this will make them more likely to ban users as they try to make the site more acceptable to advertisers.
That’s modern CEOs in a nutshell. Damage the company long term to get those good short term returns for shareholders.
It’s not entirely clear from the image which is which, but apparently the LMABF8 is the one on the right, and the EZS8L is on the left.
Personally I think the EZS8L looks classier than the LMABF8
Also both of them are refrigerated to 50°F. The LMABF8’s main two advantages are that it typically has a water filter, and it has mechanical push bars meaning that it will usually work even when the power is out. The EZS8L is usually not filtered and has an electronic push bar.
