At 500W, it also wouldn't be out of place for the GPU to have their own PSU built-in, with a 230V AC connection from outside the chassis.
Do they do a version that takes a 3-phase connection like an industrial motor?
Oh boy, I can’t wait for induction fans
People who like to prove all horses are the same color?
Or no colour ifs they're provided adobe and Pantone.

Exactly like everyone predicted with the SaaS bullshit.
What I don’t get though: if Pantone has “copyrights” on “Pantone green is 0x00fe00”, why do people use the stupid Pantone labeled colors instead of just using, well, the color code?

@DogsB also, running Redis on the PS5 would be interesting. Talking to Redis from it isn't.

Oh my me... well that'll make a very nice Redis server indeed.

From TFA:
warned it could disintegrate if it was hung the right side up now
In other words, the
artwork
was built withplanned obsolescence
, and just by putting things upside down, it did survive suich a long time.
Wonder if that can be applied to more common things in the household, too. Likesmart phones
- anyone hold their smart phone always upside down here?
-
@BernieTheBernie Way easier to flip the public upside down:
Only needs some brakes to stop upside down in front of the artwork, and maybe needs some axes removed so people only flip over rather than spin around.

Truly important news:
Bikinis Win in Federal Court – 13:45
— Steve LehtoTL;DW: Everett, WA, passed a law that servers in businesses such as drive-up espresso bars couldn't wear bikinis at work; they had to be fully covered top and bottom. The court ruled this was unconstitutional; it violated the equal protection clause, because it was clearly targeted only at female employees. (Whether it's good or bad that apparently there was no need to prohibit similarly dressed males is a topic for the .)
A bit of background that is not in this video: This law was passed a year or so after I moved out of WA. (This is the first I was aware of it.) Prior to that, there were a number of similar establishments at which the servers wore even less than these bikini baristas. These were alleged to be fronts for prostitution (I have no personal knowledge one way or the other whether this is true), and the city shut them down well before this law was passed. I'm not sure exactly when that happened; one day I drove down the main north-south road, which is where those businesses were mostly located, and I noticed that they were not simply closed; the buildings were entirely gone. Anyway, I assume this law was a further result of the problems resulting from those even more controversial businesses.

Yup, and in two different ways. Unfortunately, he brings up but doesn't answer the question "How sturdy is a deadbolt with the center hollowed out for a battery compartment?"

@Parody I haven't watched that video yet, but I can tell from the tools in the thumbnail that it's not just easily picked, but it's easily picked by someone with little skill or experience. Wave rakes and bump keys are things that should not be associated with $300+ locks.

Seems simple enough, should easily scale to the levels that we need. I foresee no issues whatsoever.

They already collude on everything behind closed doors, why not let them merge and make it official?

Yeah, that's a big problem with “green” hydrogen. As the inefficiencies and overheads in the steps add up, the overall efficiency ends up worse than abysmal so far.

Hydrogen's not really green yet. The issue is we can't crack water economically at scale — it's energetically very unfavourable, even with a catalyst — and the easy sources of hydrogen that we have (hydrocarbons) aren't green in any sane way.
But I guess it makes more sense if you're mainly thinking about local pollution rather than global pollution, as it would let you shift the production of carbon-rich byproducts to locations where they'd be concentrated and easier to do something useful with. Maybe?
