Does anyone have any insights into the proprietary graphics buses that were being created leading up to the VESA Local Bus (as referred to in the article)? I was not aware of anyth…

This is called outdoor air temperature reset. It's been commonly used in medium to large size buildings (ie multi residential buildings) back 100 plus years. Originally there might…

The system in Toronto takes cold water from deep in Lake Ontario, runs it through heat exchangers that feeds the district cooling loop downtown. The lake water continues out of the…

I really enjoy typing on the unicomp buckling spring keyboard; I've had an older model for a long time. It seemed very well built on the outside, however eventually a number of key…

The high temperature limit switch should never be tripping, even when the furnace runs continuously. This indicates you have a problem with temperature rise across the heat exchang…

A CV boot keeps dirt from getting into the CV joint and keeps grease from flying out. Dirt that gets in causes increased wear. Unless the boot is majorly damaged, very limited dirt…

Perceptions of brand reliability at that. I would hazard a guess that Toyota and Lexus have very similar real-world reliability - most of them share platforms. However this article…

I think it's also worth looking at mikrotik. I run a HAP ac2 for travel which is small, has dual Wi-Fi radios, and enough power for good speeds on IPsec VPN. It also supports wireg…

How is this different from other manufacturers? Focal distances are pretty similar between all of these for SLR versus mirrorless. Canon offers adapters for their mirrorless camera…

I played mp3s on a 486dx2... I think at 40MHz (but could be after 100MHz upgrade). The biggest issue was bitrate, I think it struggled with 128kps but was fine if they were encoded…

We do have a power crunch coming; take a look at the IESO annual planning outlook[1]. Page 78/79 of the 2022 APO show grid emissions dramatically increasing - due to the transition…

Have you looked at the Sonoff nspanel?

What about installing Windows 98 in dosbox? I haven't tried this but have done it with Windows 3.11. This was the first result when I searched: https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/Guide%3AIn…

Although I do remember the ATi drivers on the later Rage Pro could get pretty buggy. I remember the most problems with OpenGL games....

I played a ton of Mechwarrior 2 (ATI 3D Rage Edition) - the Aptiva bundle version - and didn't notice it being buggy.... Maybe this is a later version and earlier versions were mor…

I'm part owner of a company (Halterix) that used pose detection (alternately via smartwatch accelerometer) and machine learning to quantify how well exercises are performed. We bui…

Sounds more like an issue with your browser.

Nowadays it really depends on how the immobilizer works to figure out how to/if you can override it easily. I'm familiar with a couple designs - and on my vehicle I found it trivia…

Also ensure your client does not have access to the backup server share so that ransomware can't encrypt backups on a network drive etc. My backup solution (backuppc/other syncs + …

Also still using a X220 (X230 motherboard swapped) with Debian and a T430s (with 1080p swap) with Windows. Agreed that the X220 form and function is excellent. The 7-row keyboard i…

I've had a bunch of APC SmartUPS 1500 in both tower and rack formats. I found the batteries in the rack version, where batteries lay on their sides, reach end of life much sooner t…

Definitely brings back memories. I used to build small networks including supplying 386 boxes that booted LRP from a floppy to share a dialup internet connection for small business…

The x220 battery definitely works with the x230 but requires the DRM patch. I'm running an x230 mainboard in what is otherwise an x220. It's an EC not BIOS path so should work with…

The big disadvantage of the T420s/430s is the s batteries do not use standard cells. The T420/430, X220/230 (and I assume w series) battery packs use standard 18650 cells. In the x…
