This is complete BS, I could find zero sources for that claim, and several debunking it.
The only tangentially related thing I could find was that in colder climates, they need heat to de-ice the wings, and at one point, the power supply to a Scottish wind farm was cut off, so they put in some temporary diesel generators on-site to power the de-icing system to get the turbines going again.
Have you checked the SMART value 199/0xC7 “UltraDMA CRC Error Count”? This should tell you how many checksum errors happened on the SATA interface between the CPU and the drive. If this is higher than zero your hypothesis is correct and there’s something bad with the connection, if it’s zero then the problem is more likely to be elsewhere.
It could even be something “innocent” about how ad-blockers have started to interact with the site as YouTube ramps up their anti-adblock measures and the ad-blockers have to change how they work. Like maybe the ad-blockers have started blocking the JavaScript callback that logs the views.
Even before this drop in views, the rule was you have to watch a video for at least 30 seconds before it counts as a view, as a way to combat clickbait where people instantly bounce from a video. Maybe they have changed this further? Or they change some kind of bot detection?
On broadcast TV, a 30 minute timeslot had only 23 minutes of actual content and 7 minutes of ads.
That’s what we’re heading back to. 20% of the watch time is ads.
Everyone here is speculating about their content, but the simple answer is YouTube just changed how they count the view number. The change basically happened overnight, so it’s not some slow attrition of views. They said in the WAN Show that while the view count halved, the number of likes hasn’t changed (the view/like ratio doubled), and the revenue they earned hasn’t changed (CPM doubled). All of this points that the same number of humans are watching, but what counts as a view in the “views” number just changed.
They literally don’t know. “GPT-5” is several models, with a model gating in front to choose which model to use depending on how “hard” it thinks the question is. They’ve already been tweaking the front-end to change how it cuts over. They’ve definitely going to keep changing it.
Instagram is extremely popular, and it’s heavily promoted inside of there, with Threads content embedded to almost look like Instagram content but when you tap on it it hops you over to Threads. I’m not surprised that they’ve been able to build a user base while X declines
In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.
iOS does have an API for apps to record the screen throughout the OS these days through Broadcast Extensions, but it has to be user-initiated through the control center screen recording toggle (where they then get to pick what app to record the screen to instead of just saving as a video), it wouldn’t do that people think the T-Mobile app is doing
Yeah what I’ve settled on is one of those $40 generic Chinese 4x2.5G PoE+2x10G SFP+ switches. Gives me:
Would be great to get another 10G for the NAS as well!
For what it’s worth, Synology Hybrid RAID is just a fancy GUI over linux mdraid, so the drives can be mounted on any Linux system (Synology even have instructions for how to do this on their website). You’ll be SOL mounting them with any kind of third-party NAS GUI that expects their own partition layout though.
What are you powering with it?
You plug it straight into the wall, it syncs to the grid and back-feeds it, up to 800W. Your meter stops spinning (or even goes backwards)
because if the grid went down, these types of panels could keep feeding the house, out to the street, and electrocute a line worker
The inverter in these is designed to shut down if it doesn’t detect a waveform from the grid to sync with - they are unable to create a 50 Hz AC wave on their own. As long as the hardware is legit (which is a big if with how easy it is to get unsafe junk in from China) there is no safety issue, it’s purely regulatory.
Yeah when I went over my bank statements for last year, I only went to an ATM a single time in the whole year. Mostly only need cash for stuff like parking
This is the dial in our current late-90’s apartment (apologies for the limescale). It is gradated in Celsius
My kids like something in the mid-30’s, I like just under 40, my wife like closer to 45. A pretty decent range IMHO
I’ve never had this problem anywhere I live (Sweden and Japan) so I’m assuming it has to do with some kind of especially cheap fixtures?
In the EU, as long as it’s under 800W it can be plugged directly into an outlet in your home without any kind of installation, back-feeding the grid that way.
You’re not getting paid anything for the power you send back into the grid so anything you don’t use you lose.
What I did in the living room was plug a USB-C dock with a 2.5 Gbit Ethernet adapter into the wall outlet with a 2 meter USB-C 3.x cable.
So I sit down in the living room and plug in my laptop/phone in to charge when I’m using it and they automatically get a 2.5 Gbit network connection. Even iOS natively supports the common Realtek 2.5 Gbit chipset.
