Sure, improvements are welcome to batteries, but it’s a private aircraft, it sits and waits to be used. And when it does get used, it’s usually sitting at its temporary destination long enough to recharge.

If you’re refueling to make another leg of your journey I can imagine it’s frustrating, but, this isn’t the type of aircraft you take on long trips.

If the batteries on the plane are low… just swap the battery out for a fully charged one. Would only take a couple minutes. And the flat battery can be set aside to recharge. This method would be highly beneficial for aircraft. And the charge time wouldn’t affect Flight schedules. It would actually make “recharging” faster. You can take off while the battery pack u just used up is sitting safely in the recharging station. 

The company says aluminum-air batteries will be the next step. Maybe then it will be powerful enough to be housed in a more central and replaceable package.

Firstly, registry cleaners are digital snake oil

Secondly, you can clean Windows, but only of a few things like thumbnails, recent documents, search history, and log files, which usually add up to little space used.

On that note, Software like Flash, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Office, and more can add up with all of its cookies, passwords, history, site preferences, crash reports, temporary files, etc etc.

Thirdly, you forgot about some personal files, I promise. Every time I run WinDirStat it finds a file(s) that I didn’t remember I had, taking up unnecessary space.

This being said, if you want to make your computer like it was when you purchased it, do this:

App and Features: Uninstall everything that you don’t use.

Windows Explorer: Browse your downloads, documents, videos, etc, and delete anything you don’t need anymore.

Bleachbit: Take your time selecting what to erase, keeping in mind you may want to keep your passwords and whatnot saved in your favorite browser.

WinDirStat: Locate large files or large collections of many files, if you know what they are, and don’t need them, right click and delete them.

Restart your PC.

I did laugh at this. But I also want to explain to anyone that doesn’t know.

Computers driving cars are not the same as computers reading images.

An image is a two dimensional set of fixed data.

A moving car is a three dimensional set of changing data.

I keep shit talking the FCC and Ajit Pai…

They’ve been caught lying about a DDOS attack via emails.

The Bitcoin world is coming to grips with a shocking revelation that could potentially threaten the very existence of the world’s foremost cryptocurrency.

An analysis of the Bitcoin blockchain – the publicly accessible ledger of transactions upon which the system is built – has revealed this vast trove of data is irrevocably tainted with unremovable links to illegal child pornography, which are inevitably distributed among and by all users of the currency.

The discovery of this – in addition to other questionable and possibly outlawed content stored within the blockchain – hypothetically makes Bitcoin ownership illegal in almost every country that has laws against the possession and distribution of images of child abuse.

That’s the view of a team led by researchers from Germany’s RWTH Aachen University, who sifted through the blockchain to examine how much “arbitrary data” it contained.

While the open ledger is primarily intended to store financial information related to Bitcoin transactions, non-financial information can also be inserted into the blockchain by users on the system – and to drastic effect.

In their analysis, the researchers uncovered more than 1,600 inserted files on the blockchain, over 99 percent of which are texts or images, including links to child pornography, copyright violations, privacy violations and more.

“How did you learn all of this?”

I love answering them because it’s so simple that it slaps them in the face.

So there’s this lighting kit that’s 200 bucks, and it’s 9 triangular LED panels plus an LED controller and power supply.

I got an extension pack of 3 for 14 dollars on clearance.

As is obvious from extension pack, it doesn’t include a “brain” or power.

I’m fairly certain that since each panel connects via 4 pads, two of those are data and two are power.

Miraculously a friend of mine has a kit, and is willing to lend me his controller and power supply so I can measure and emulate them.

I’ll use an arduino uno to “talk,” and an oscilloscope to “see”.

Let’s hope for some simple square waves.

I’m not looking to emulate gradients or cool effects, just have control over what solid color all of the panels display.

I have windows enterprise edition, but i only use linux for mining and other stuff where it has to be on for 24/7 stuff.

I use Linux for basically everything, but I like to mine with my desktop too since it’s powerful. My CPU gets ~300 H/s and GPU ~20-25 MH/s depending on if idle or not.

EthOS is really nice for ethereum, and multiminer on debian is rock solid for bitcoin and litecoin.

this Thanksgiving, you should all be thankful for having the internet the way that you do, and not like this.

however, if you don’t vote, this is the future that’s in store for you.

In a two-phase immersion cooled system, electronic components are submerged into a bath of dielectric heat transfer liquids, which are much better heat conductors than air, water or oil. With their various low boiling points (ie. 49°C vs. 100°C in water), the fluids boil on the surface of heat generating components and rising vapor passively takes care of heat transfer.

In contrast to submersion oil cooling, liquids are clean, environmentally friendly and non-flammable. No heatsinks, pumps and jets are required to keep hardware cool. Circulation happens passively by the natural process of evaporation and without spending any extra energy.

It’s a total piece of shit.

So I actually googled “why is TR4 a piece of shit?”

Results surprised me.

It was made by enthusiasts in their off time.

You designed up to a 1,000 dollar CPU then dedicated almost ZERO resources to the socket design?

Intel might be overpriced, but their sockets aren’t the flimsiest thing I’ve ever touched.

The order they say to tighten the screws doesn’t work.

The tray is cheap and doesn’t “click” like the instructions say it will.

If you over-torque the screws by as few as three clicks, they simply break inside and permanently lock the CPU in.

This is very likely.

The internet was the decentralization of information.

Bitcoin was the first major decentralization of money.

And this would very well be the decentralization of the energy grid.

The Edison Institute published a paper talking about the energy grid going localized within 50 years and the current one becoming completely obsolete.
