And the smoke. When you let the smoke out it stops working.

Batteries have both electron capacity (cumulative) and current capacity (rate) ratings. The chemistry and size determine how many electrons (aka Amperes times hours) can be stored, and the conductor sizes (including within the cells) determine how quickly it can be charged or discharged in sustained operation (without permanent damage).

A car battery can be shorted with a screwdriver and discharged at a high current, but only for a short time without damage to the cells. A 100Ah car battery can supply rated current for roughly twice as long as a 50Ah battery.

Sometimes people call these ratings energy and power ratings by multiplying each by rated voltage, but the voltage does vary with charge state and rate of current flow so those “ratings” are rather approximate.

“power is only related to voltage” is nonsense. Current and voltage contribute equally to power (P=IVpf, but I am not going to discuss power factor here).

The reason current is less frequently mentioned is that our electric power system supplies power (current and voltage) to many users and the wiring for giving power to many locations is simpler and more reliable when we try to keep voltage relatively constant and let the power using devices demand just as much current as they need to extract the power they need. This means current values can vary wildly between circuits, so it is not very informative to talk about current unless you know a lot about what is hooked up and consuming power nearby. The circuit that supplies the lights uses much less current than the one that supplies the air conditioner (when it is on) but there are often many lights on a single circuit so the current is quite different in different segments of wire even while the voltage only varies a but in each circuit.

You could devise a wiring system that held current constant by running the current in a loop through all the consuming devices, but like Christmas tree lights if any load disconnected then all the loads would stop receiving power, which would make it very unreliable.

Pihole comes with DHCP disabled by default for this reason. But you still have to get the router to hand off the Pihole IP as DNS server to all dynamic IP devices.

DHCP != DNS. DHCP allows you to mix pseudo-static IP addresses with dynamic IP addresses on your LAN, while DNS looks up IP addresses based on names. DHCP, or the equivalent IP address management GUI, is innocuous… you probably want to use it to specify what static IP you want the Pi to have… but you also need to tell your router DHCP to inform your in-LAN devices that the DNS server they should use is that same static IP when it hands out their assigned IP address.

For those not in the know… PDF is a particular set of conventions for delivering peograms written in a programming language called “Postscript”, and like all programs they can be hijacked to trigger unexpected results, including the delivery of software viruses. And yes, while those programs run in “sandboxes” that are supposed to prevent propagation of harm, such environments can fall in that purpose due to creative triggering of imperfections in the sandbox code by the “contained” Postscript code.

Hence, quotes are used to convey lack of trust in the claim of safety.

Boss has different people for different functions within the company. A monoculture is more susceptible to systematic flaws, but it is also less expensive to maintain. It is not OPs place to decide how the company manages is computing facilities, so if WSL or Cygwin are not accepable compromises (OP and company have to both agree) then OP has to decide whether they are willing to go along with Windows or find another job.

Something to talk about during the exit interview anyway.

… or the voice call feature will be deprecated due to the universal use of text messaging and advertisers will refuse to buy ads for a defunct technology.

Easy if you make assertions without citations. The lid appears not to be effective at spreading contamination. https://www.ajicjournal.org/article/S0196-6553(23)00820-9/fulltext

Darwinism?

I never had my own AOL email account but I did throw away AOL signup disks and I sent email to AOL accounts… so I guess 20/20 assuming “phone bo” is a phone book.

As for not being long for this world… there are a lot of ways to go that don’t link with being old, so I guess that checks out anyway.

The value in LLMs is in the training and the data quality… so it is easy to publish the code and charge for access to the data (DaaS).

So you would click accept on my self-signed https website? Want some land in Florida?

Personally I would have used a sarcasm escape: /s

This is why they invented emoticons and emoji. On the Internet, no-one can tell you are smirking unless you tell them

seeing this will almost certainly top whatever stress she thought she had before.

Just because you have OS install media and hardware does not mean the hardware functions. In fact, old hardware often fails MEMTST.

Like when someone sends you a 500MB Excel file and M365 (32bit) on your 64bit work computer (where all your other apps are 64bit) won’t open it and IT doesn’t want to upgrade M365 because some add-ins they haven’t made a list of won’t work if they do?

Sometimes I just can’t excel…

I have no “proof of reality” to offer you (Plato had similar thoughts with his “shadows in a cave” analogy), but in all cases I have heard of pursuing these hypotheticals too far simply feeds neuroses rather than uncovering the Illuminati. The current US paroxysms of conservative conspiracy theories are IMO the product of failing to rein in such unproductive thought… do you really want to go down this road?

Your 26th century bit reminds me of the Continuum tv series. Entertaining story, but not likely to be worth building your reality on.

Vasectomy is like inflation… when it is zero the value we assume is described doesn’t go up or down.
