Elemental silver SD card casing for maximum thermal transfer, when???
Yes, stainless is “bad”, compared to other metals. But like you also mentioned, it’s loads better than plastic.
I’d doubt they make an aluminum one, it’s probably not worth the tooling.
When dealing with only 100-200mW, even a small change in thermal conductivity will make a big difference.
Unironically a good idea. I can see these really helping to increase the chances of memory survival in camera applications where the camera has a high chance of being physically destroyed. Also a metal body reallllly helps conduct heat out of the flash, which will increase their lifespan in continuous-write applications.
i’d think at this point it’s been proven that any resource, small or large, can and will be compromised. Proton so far has had a better track record than many.
I was referencing the “no linux app” complaint. Yes the rest of the stuff is pretty fluffy, but it at least looks good to the general public who might be shopping.
Proton AG is also a pretty small company and has not a lot of programming resources, can’t expect them to magically support everything immediately when their goal is getting marketshare.
Intel always seems to promise a lot of things…
I suppose that would work too, just solvent and then smear the outer walls of the boat. PLA is not exactly water safe though and will break down/become mechanically weak with long enough exposure. So it would be better to ideally seal the plastic entirely with a laquer
watertight boat and a free high? seems like a win win
Fiberglass may be overkill, but you would absolutely need some kind of sealing lacquer around the entire print or it will definitely fill with water.
There’s also a lot of porn
Self driving cars are such a cool concept.
However, because I do not trust a single corporation to ever implement them safely or with the slightest bit of care towards my privacy or freedom, they will unfortunately forever be banned from my garage along with every other vehicle built later than 2014.
Of course they can still likely run fine, but uber does make things more efficient and generally reduces non-fare idle time, which means less wasted money for drivers. It’s reasonable to expect them to keep using the app to get riders when they can, even if they’re going to try and charge on-top to cover their expenses.
If Uber’s rates are so low, why haven’t most drivers quit the app already?
Drivers still need to find a way to connect with clients that need a ride, and thats where Uber shines. Existing as an independent taxi where you just drive around and hope you find someone to hail you doesn’t really work.
Hahaha, now I’m picturing an IC with an angry face just before it farts out Magic Smoke.
Well, that’s basically how they behave too lol. Solid state power components are generally not very tolerant and require careful surge suppression and filtering to not have them blow up frequently.
I bet if you took that 25 year old driver apart, sanded off the commutator rotor, and put new brushes in it you’d suddenly find it’d have more power and use less battery. (And thats something you can do with older tools!)
When brushed motors get old and oxidation/dirt builds up the resistance across the brushes to the rotor coils grows and you’ll lose motor efficiency.
I mean, yes and no. A lot of that is modern tools are going to be more carefully engineered to operate as close to failure as possible, as to advertise more power with a cheaper device. Thry have small wires and encoder sensors that can be prone to failure.
Yes, the driving electronics are also sensitive, however magnetic transients are less of a deal on the scale of a cordless drill. When dealing with huge motors, those can be significant multi-kilovolt spikes that make solid state components Very Very Mad.
But the brushless motors in a drill also do not have brushes that wear down rapidly in a very dirty/dusty contaminated environment like older power tools would. So it’s a bit of a 50/50.
Well, most all DC generators these days are actually AC alternators with the output rectified, because alternators can be run a lot more efficiently. So you’re already losing on efficiency there.
You need to consider the consumer side as well. Dinky residential loads like your computer would be fine on DC. But most of the world, especially heavy industry, runs on synchronous or induction AC motors, big ones. Big huge tens-of-megawatts motors that often run upwards of 97% line efficiency, which is insane for any industrial process.
The best you could replace those with would be modern brushless DC motors, which require really expensive inverter controls that die frequently due to the magnetic transients and still top out at an efficiency of only 90% if you’re lucky. And that would incur huge costs that just aren’t worth it.
Ars does not. Their chief editor has said as much. But Conde Nast absolutely does, and it WILL happen where CN will start telling Ars what they can and can’t do, because that’s how corporate ownership works. It happens every single time without fail, and that is why you can no longer trust anything they post related to AI. You toe the line to capital’s interest, or CN is gonna eject you from the org.
Well it’s a good thing Palworld was a huge sales success.
