5V * 5A = 25W, no PSU is 100% effective so 27W is reasonable requirement


You don't specify a PSU by its energy consumption. You specify it by output.

Also, that 92% efficiency, is believable, but a bit high for a 5V 5A PSU (this is a difficult combination). I would expect any such unity to be marketed as high-efficiency.


I expect it is 27W to support 9V 3V, not because of tolerances per se. (Source https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23583)


Surely legend of the era. Remember some obscure court restrictions for him at the time, not quite sure they were real, or hoax, or urban legends...


It is surely not pleasant experience, I have diabetes and I had frozen shoulder on both sides, almost consecutively. Probably been 4-5 years in total, pain is very annoying - I'm not talking about not being able to wipe your arse, I'm talking unable to sleep, because of pain, in any position. The only good news is, from what I was told, it does not reoccur. It is strange experience to have such intensity pain for such prolonged periods. Probably nastiest for me, was experience of being handicapped, even such simple thing as severely restricted shoulder movements - bring MAJOR impact on everyday life and functions. Oh yeah, and drugs don't work, well at least most of them...


Except for 6 people, 4 unnamed russians, journalist and his wife/girlfriend(who is not belarus national)


Out of curiosity, do you know her nationality?

Thank you


Such small country does not have proper car industry, but there are some local electrical trolleybuses made(maybe few dozen a year), or some parts for automotive industry - like continental tire factory in Kaunas, some parts made for mercedes, etc, etc...


Perhaps you meant electric buses, e.g. https://www.dancerbus.com/ ?



Cool and interesting idea, but like most said, won't be logging in using google OAuth. Hope the demos are actual display of the tech instead of "hand made"


I used new thinkpad x220 back in the day, the only annoying thing was that lan required some driver download from vendor(realtek, if remember correctly), did not work out of the box. Don't think I've messed much with other things, so they worked ok for me out of the box(but my requirements might be different). Been user since 6.0


That's my impression also, another few decades and linux might get PF, yay... But that is good change, tried picking up IPTABLES multiples times, but always go back to *BSD or dedicated hardware


I like iptables fairly well, though it does take some planning to ensure it can remain speedy. In fact, the only way I could make shaping in Linux work involved using iptables to tag the packets for tc to then shape. Used that for our mirror server, among other things. Even had a fairly slick setup where our core routers would, every few seconds, report their bandwidth usage to the mirror server, which would adjust it's shaping to consume all our committed bandwidth, without interfering with customers traffic or costing us more bandwidth charges.

To take this idea further... Wonder if it would be possible to click/mine-bait to alternative "branch" consensus :)
