The article does not make a big enough deal of another saving for the utility - it means that when snow takes out lines, they have more time to deal with the problems before customers start complaining. That can be quite significant if the utility can wait 12 hours for storms to pass, then fixing things becomes significantly easier.

Maybe that is because you are the one not listening.

You even note the problems, but then wave them away saying that "the government could fix them."

So have the government fix those problematic regulations first, and then the AI centres can re-apply for permission.

One option is to stick a mini-UPS in-between the wall the devices. Such a thing is internally a handful of lithium cells and some DC outputs.

For powering a handful of things that consume less than 100W they are quite useful because they typically provide 2 or 3 DC outputs, and replace between 2 and 4 power bricks.

They also provide an hour or two of backup, quite useful in my country where the power sometimes goes out for a bit.

The downside is that I cant find decent ones in my country, and so I end up replacing mine every 2-3 years.

Yeah, as someone who had to implement a protocol stack to talk to a X.400 server, it was not fun at all. Weird encodings, monster spec, all sorts of weird server-specific stuff that you had to do exactly right if you wanted the server to accept your email.

Compared to that, when I implemented RFC821/822 (i.e. SMTP) mail, the hardest part was the weird line-encodings, but other than that, the spec was ___so___ nicely readable and pragmatic.

In a comment he says he is doing it for some research into a related thing (somethiing to do with GaN sheets?)

I was there, reading the ipv6 mailing list eagerly. Address space exhaustion was a smaller problem because NAT was pretty primitive, so called carrier grade NAT was not even a thing yet. But cisco had the largest routers and their biggest was not big enough for the core router fabrics projected growth. And there was not enough demand (yet) for very large routers fir cisco to want to design and build the nevessary chips. The IPv6 people thought they held all the cards and could mandate whatever they wanted.

But of course, it was s very long time ago and my memory may be inexact.

A couple of years later ipv6 became unnecessary. A big driver for ipv6 at the time was routers not being able to manage the increasing size of the core routingtable. Then 2 years later betterhardware and routing table compression became available and ipv6 became unnecessary.

Just get some clear nailpolish and apply it with the included brush. Not as good but dead easy.

Collabora was unhappy about the LOOL revival, but not enough to leave.

It was only when TDF contrived reasons to expel Collabora people that Collabora decided to leave.

(Full Disclosure: I am one of the Collabora people expelled)

I suspect that Time Machine is no longer used by a sufficiently large % of their customer base for them to care, and they are slowly sunsetting it. They are quite aggressive about that sort of thing, so I expect it to to deprecated in favour of iCloud soon.

motors do not like the impact loads that wheels see, which is why bicycles with hub motors do not have a long lifespan

Or.... smoking may be indicative of people from poorer backgrounds, where health is generally lower. (cant say for sure, but thats the case where I am from)
