  Underfloor heating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't throw me off the scent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. The cables are intentionally made “too thin” so that they weigh less and are less stiff. The upside it it makes handling them much easier. The downside is they they get pretty hot pretty fast, and from there you have two options: Actively cool the cable from inside or throttle charging so the cable doesn’t melt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't throw me off the scent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just crimping a connector to such a cable is hard work. You really can’t compare that to traditional wiring. Many are also water-cooled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't throw me off the scent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It pays so little nobody would even think of doing it if they didn’t literally need to to survive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The UI looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago. Using single window mode was always an option and only two clicks away

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t scan things that aren’t lieing flat on scanner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use everything, but everything works badly. Even a fitting screwdriver will just randomly jump out after half a turn and scratch whatever you’re working on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It works, but badly. All my homies hate cam-out and love torx.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Percentages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maths always tries to have agreed-upon unambiguous definitions of things, precisely to avoid confusion.

  Laughs in ambiguous notation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨explosions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It might well have started our as a sphere. But you also need to rotate pieces in the third dimension of you want to pay the sphere back together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hopefully not a case of nominative determinism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bright creek? Sounds lovely!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This happened like a decade ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't Engage with Trolls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That isn’t even generally true. Try mentioning crypto on the LKML and see what they think you mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half as Hot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you also say 'the temperature in the freezer has doubled" when it goes from -12°C to -24°C in the freezer? Any thing else would be disingenuous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half as Hot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not how it works, an “idle” CPU is already generating a not insignificant amount of heat. That why you measure the difference against ambiant air if you’re at all serious about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half as Hot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually that should mean it cuts the difference ambiant and CPU in half. Anything else would just be stupid or a lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mine's a Juicer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what kind of eggbeaters would survive smashing potatoes, but I’ll live in fear of them from now on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Suffering⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah okay but by that logic you’d also have to quantize time and the suffering would end either way in a finite amount of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough Shit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because it isn’t. As was just explained, the shape is pretty much done before the “extrusion die” sphincter comes into it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you were definitely lucky with the timeframe. Arch specifically sometimes has updates you need a recent version of pacman to even apply, which means you’ll be left behind if you wait for too long. Last time was the switch to .zstd compressed packages: if you didn’t have a pacman that supported them you had to manually go and find a pacman from the correct time frame plus all it’s deps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scheiße!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Geil

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scheiße!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be “Unfall”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eternal fire⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially on 230V circuits this is a big plus. It’s hot in a minute when my oven takes 12 minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mouth feel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.K. might follow Europe in fining employers who message staff after-hours⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realize that you can schedule messages?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes questing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you mean “air leak”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reflects on e-sports⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just goes to show many gamers do not infact know what “input” lag is. I’ve seen the response time a monitor adds called input lag way to many times. And that mostly doesn’t in fact include the delay a (wireless) input device might add, or the GPU (with multiple frames in flight) for that matter.

  Is rather the candy spill in my backpack tyvm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon notices what they've taken from us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope:

  Windows Update - Iot is supported till 2032 and Non-Iot is supported till 2027. Conclusion, Iot LTSC is better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon notices what they've taken from us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t think this would be controversial, but apparently it isn’t widely known. Win10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 is a version that gets security support until 2031 but will not receive feature updates, ads or any other those things. It’s essentially what windows should be.
