“It’s pronounced PS/2”

That’s the same code.

but in practice it’s best to get a good electrician to run a new circuit from the box in even somewhat recent construction

The photo you linked was a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Mistakes/freak accidents happen. As I said in another comment, think of how many millions of households use 1440W space heaters indoors and don’t burn down. That’s what TC is advocating here. By and large, it’s completely safe.

Right, but people use space heaters all the time inside their homes. This is even less dangerous because people tend not to park their cars on carpet and EVs store most of that energy instead of using it to heat up the drapes.

If we’re worried about pulling 12A out of a 15A outlet, there is much more to be worried about before we get to cars.

As TC has covered this before, consumers are clueless (and cheap) about extension cords.

Only a danger if the cord is tightly coiled and drops enough voltage to get warm, but not enough to trip the car’s protection circuit. A lot has to go wrong for this to be a major problem.

Also all extension cords are wrapped in fire retardant plastic, so it’d likely melt, short out, blow the breaker, and nothing would happen.

Electrical code is wrapped in many layers of safety. You really have to try to hurt yourself.

Electrify America accepts credit cards, and while Tesla technically requires an app, once your card is saved, you just plug in and it figures out the rest.

Standard outlets are rated for 15A. The vehicle is already de-rating by 20% (to 12A) per NEC requirements for any appliance running for more than 3 hours continuously (which is how you get 1800W hair dryers but only 1440W space heaters).

Assuming code was followed for your house wiring, nothing is at risk there.

Then it’s just a matter of buying the right extension cord. Note that the vehicle will refuse to charge if the input voltage drops below a certain level (in my car, I think it’s around 110V).

So you only have to worry about a 10V drop at 12A or 120W of heat dissipation. Assuming all of this happens inside your extension cord, you just need to make sure you don’t coil it up too tightly (or, better, don’t use such a cheap cord).

I thought VR/AR would be farther along. There was a pitch 10 years ago that VR would be the “final platform” in that anything a phone, TV, tablet, or computer could do could be easily emulated in VR.

Unfortunately it’s still all walled gardens. Also nobody wants to wear that shit for more than an hour.

Depends on the concert.

My whole friend group stopped trusting Meta a few years ago, so I got everyone on Matrix-Synapse instead of WhatsApp.

I just set it up on my homeserver. Everyone just calls it “Element” and has no idea how it works, but the UI is familiar and easy to use.

Trying to work on Pixelfed, but most interesting photos just get shared on Matrix anyway.

Ironically, the three trades you listed are in high demand right now specifically because of the rapid rollout of the data centers needed to power AI.

Talk about a bony ass

Good instinct to pump the brakes a bit.

I couldn’t find the source for this exact photo, but Aljazeera reports of plenty of bloody backpacks. So…

In ECC memory?

I think it’s the first time it’s happened since I upgraded my hardware over a year ago. 64 gigs of RAM and I rarely use more than 30% of it.

Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.

Yeah makes me think something hardware level.

Are the server and chargers close to each other? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger?

No. The car charges every night. This is the first time this has happened.

It was an especially interesting case because there was a question of whether the photographer lied about who actually took the picture. So he could either claim the monkey took it an lose the copyright or claim he took it and have it lose all value.

It was.

So was the episode of Silicon Valley that the above image is from. https://www.cracked.com/article_49720_kid-rocks-cameo-on-silicon-valley-is-going-viral-for-obvious-reasons.html

No it isn’t.

So we’re saying the plane crash vid is real too?

Jesus we’re cooked.
