Yeah, it's a bit ragebaity. Afaik the solar panels can be "turned off" (disconnected from the grid/open load) just fine, and there absolutely needs to be a way for this to happen automatically (a proper smart grid).
The big power plants are another story.
The first reauui found is kinda interesting
even conventional diesel generators have this issue https://www.cat.com/en_US/by-industry/electric-power/Articles/White-papers/the-impact-of-generator-set-underloading.html
No, you can't.
The ground in a circuit doesn't dissipate energy
the energy gets dissipated elsewhere. That's what ground is: it's what we call the electrical part of a circuit where the energy has already been dissipated (I'm being a little casual with my electricity, but I think it's a valid statement nonetheless
ground is defined as the zero potential).
You can try this out by plugging a wire from hot to ground in your house (please don't do this). The energy gets dissipated in the wires. This is bad, because it is a lot of energy dissipated very quickly. Best case you throw the breaker. Worst case you burn down your house.
Am I reading it correctly that it only affects remote admin? Isn't that generally considered to be a Very Bad Idea? My home network has remote admin disabled, but with VPN access I can remotely manage it, which is (afaik?) a way more secure method than having public https access to your network gear...
Still pretty unimpressive by Cisco to basically just say "sucks to be you" to the owners. I get that it's EOL but still.
Eight year olds, dude.
I think there's room for philosphical differences here though. One can acknowledge Meta being evil but not advocate for defederation.
The standard federation analogy is to that of email. Google has shown themselves to be evil at times (prone to enshitification at the very least). But if my email provider drops support for any email from gmail.com, well... that's kinda not a good thing.
Obviously ActivityPub is not email, but still, I think it's a somewhat nuanced issue.
And with regards to the EEE issue, I'm personally not convinced of any threat. Slack embraced IRC then killed support, and no harm was done that I'm aware. XMPP always gets trotted out as an example, but I think it's a weak argument at best, disingenuous at worst.
James Bond already did that one I think...
Had Linux support too! (From day 1? Not sure...)
I had a copy, and during undergrad I figured out that I could copy it over to /tmp on a computer in the University's Linux cluster
no root required. They were high end machines at the time (Xeons with Quadro cards I think?), and UT2K4 played great on them.
I'm, uh, just gonna go find a cash machine...
Professor should know that it's etymologically Greek, not Latin, so octopi is generally considered to be wrong.
Octopuses, or octopodes if you're feeling badass, would be preferable afaik.
Smartasses like OP like to make these types of statements
and they'll refuse to acknowledge anything because they'll always appeal to a literal claim which, by construction, cannot be. In this case, a vote for X is not literally a vote for Trump; it may be effectively, mathematically, or implicitly a vote for Trump, but because it is not literally voting for Trump they just smile like an inebriated donkey and say "nuh-uh not the same lol XD."
Yep absolutely
a few kW? I can burn that no problem. A MW? Well...that takes a little more thought. A GW? That's a whole different ballgame.
