• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

Got a link? I find it hard to believe that a process like that would stop because of a few windows machines not booting.

At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

I feel for people putting on events like this. Ticket sales used to get you halfway to covering costs, but that’s ok, you’ve got bar sales to make up the shortfall.

If everyone is taking drugs though, you either double the ticket price, charge for water, or not put on the gig.

I’ll need a source for that claim buddy

As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I’m not alone.

In my comment elsewhere in the thread I talk about how, as a complete software noob, I like to design programs by making a flowchart first, and how I wish the flowchart itself was the code.

It sounds like what I’m doing might be (super basic) programming architecture? Where can I go to learn more about this?

As someone who’s had a bit of exposure to PLCs and ladder logic, and dabbled in some more ‘programming’ type languages, I would love to find some sort of ‘language’ that fits together like ladder logic, but for more computery type applications.

I like systems, not programs. Most of my software design is done by building a flowchart, then stumbling around trying to figure out how to write that into code. I feel it would be so much easier if I could just make the flowchart be the code.

I want a grown up Scratch.

This is extremely prejudiced.

As a millennial, I agree with that.

I don’t know if I would consider Voyager to be ‘dead’ if it stops transmitting.

If I put a message in a bottle, with a blinky light on it, then throw it into the ocean, the message is still there even if the blinky light goes out.

640KB of memory is enough for anybody.

Looking at that, I reckon it’s easier just to pay for all the streaming services.

At this point, it’s easier to just pay for all of the streaming services.
