Because it's come up recently, a reminder that the Y2K bug wasn't overhyped. It was a huge problem and an huge number of people worked fast and hard and fixed it. Like the ozone hole.
It's not a lesson in overhype. It's a lesson in humankind's ability to cooperatively solve problems.
It often helps to consider sprawling complex inter-jurisdictional, inter-industry, multi-special-interest dynamics like this (electricity producers, manufacturers, gas distribution networks, gas producers, state+fed gov, etc etc) as a sprawling legacy codebase that nobody wants to refactor
It's such an obvious time-bomb in the macroeconomic fabric that ... How does this make sense to anyone involved
It really feels like our current centrist government just wants to hand the XBox controller of government back to the conservatives who set this up so that they can deal with it
Brought to you examining the world's largest LNG exporter having to create an LNG *import* terminal so that we can buy our own domestic gas loaded/shipped over water/decanted at SE Asia market prices paid in USD
At a time when AUD is tumbling & energy prices keep inflation up
This seems suicidal
.. at some point it turns out the world is waaay more stupid and complicated than I can possibly imagine. So whereas when I was young, doing this provided some satisfaction or resolution - the older I get, the more often it seems knowing more has an effect that is.. the opposite of beneficial
"I'll just learn more" has always been my response to feeling uneasy about counter-intuitive outcomes of specific events, issues, systemic problems. Eg. engineering ("how can it be cheaper to do X than Y"), or law ("how can I do opensource if $work says they own everything in my head 24/7"), but..
And, ok, so the black levels aren't great, and most of the colour profiles are noticeably off, but "Cinema" works great
It has lots of amazing corporate integration options, like an RS232 port, it can send SNMP traps, speaks SMTP, PJLink, AMX, Control4 SDDP, and has an https:// web UI of course...

4000 ANSI Lumens! I have to squint on some colour profiles if I look up from my little screen at night.. perfectly viewable with lights on, or during the day
So Eco mode is best actually, at 2400 ANSI Lumens (~17,000hrs lamp life)
Best of all you can customize the boot/"no signal" splash screen
In a projector household blessed w/blank walls, I broke a LCD flex connector on the 5yo noname 720p thing, measuring burnt polarizer for replacement..
got a used 1080p classroom projector (Epson EB-992F) and it's amazing even on Eco mode!
Screw the AV forum FUD, these are fantastic for TV+movies
(I know you're just pumping the content for payola, hope you're doin ok man)
trust RT to frame it as only NATO sending aid, .ua as not a real country, Ukrainians as a people who hadn't built a standard of living for themselves that left .ru behind, or a future worth fighting for.. and with all .ru's post-2000 actions in this region blameless in creating this war of attrition
A closeup of the Pentium die showing transistors and metal wiring. Arrows indicate two places where the wiring is connected to the silicon substrate.
I was studying the Pentium processor's die and I noticed strange connections that I didn't understand. These turned out to be "antenna diodes", special diodes that protect the chip from damage during manufacturing. Let's take a look... 1/6
