You can’t just bring in every stray you find on the street

Vapor injection is the new technology. It’s why older heat pumps were useless below 32f.

I too was there for the release of the 2.6 kernel

It’s not 5x capable, is my point.

About 10 of those VMs are running a single docker image. It runs great but I know better now.

My 7700x is 5 times that wattage. Granted, it gas 128gb, a380, 4 hdd, 2 SSD, 40gb nic, tpu, and 25 VMs running on it.

The lesson here is that I’ve way over-spec’d my machine.

$650 for the box leaves you $350 for drives and a 10Gb NIC. I’ve been using serverpartdeals refub drives with good results. They’re ~$10/tb.

I think the N100 type CPUs are limited on PCIe lanes. You end up with less nvme, less sata, and usually no slots.

You can find x570 am4 boards for less than $100 now. Two nvme, 8 sata, 2 big slots and 2 small.

But all of that flexibility and expandability is going to cost you in power. My 7700x w/A380, 3 hdd is 125 watts 24/7. $10 a month on my power bill. I think those n100 mini PCs only have a 35w brick and idle at less than 15w.

I’ve got 4 Omada APs and a virtual controller. There was a bug I experienced where a Google home mini could initiate a broadcast storm. TP-Link got me in touch with engineers very quickly and they fixed the bug in less than a week.

Can’t be tight if it’s liquid

What’s stopping me from calling my white picket fence a border wall?

If I put up a privacy fence, my assessment is going up.
If a farmer puts up a cattle fence, it’s an improvement.
What’s the difference here?

Do the devices have dual 10g ports each? You can build a triangle out of them.

I thought AMD spinning off their fabs was the beginning of the end. Clearly I was wrong.

And Sony patented this garbage

Does a Sony Patent Propose Viewers Skip Commercials by Yelling Brand Names at TV?

That was 15 years ago.

How do you prove that your ad campaign is working?

That’s the neat part- you don’t!

It depends where you measure. If you measure across the inductor, it absolutely goes negative.

The frequency is generally fixed, the duty cycle will vary.

A variable speed drive can be fed with DC. Is the output AC or DC? I know you need a three phase AC motor to wire up to it.

Is audio DC? It doesn’t have a fixed frequency. Amplifiers pulse DC and then remove or ‘block’ the DC offset so speakers see AC.

It seems like people in this thread have a very strict definition of AC being a 60Hz sine wave, and everything else must be DC.

Is a square wave not AC? Current is flowing in and out of an inductor 100k times a second.

Could that 100khz square wave excite a transformer and produce usable current on the secondary? Absolutely it could, and that’s how a bigger SMPS works.

If you’re looking for a “pure DC to pure DC” converter, that’s called a linear regulator and it’s wildly inefficient. They work by varying the conductance of a transistor but are useful for low currents. The extra voltage is converted to heat.
