The 21kg//150kw motorcycle motor has more power than my honda accord.

We've been happy with the Roborock Q5+ (self emptying). We have 2 cats that shed and track litter around the house. With a mix of hardwood floors and area runs. The vacuum does the "cats room" daily and the whole house 2x weekly. It does great on hardwood, and we use a real vacuum on the...

Your math is off by a factor of 10 -- Average hourly load in the USA is ~500,000MW, so the 835MW from the reactor will generate 0.2% of US demand (and roughly the amount consumed by a supersize datacenter). Answers to several other questions: Electricity will be sold into the deregulated PJM...

Anyone know the design (probably posted at FCC and/or FAA)? Is it a single satellite receiver on the plane? Or are they pairing multiple receivers to get higher total bandwidth (and some redundancy?)

Coefficient of drag for a "brick" shape van is higher, heavier weight, heavy duty, less efficient tires to support gross vehicle weight of 9,500lbs. It all adds up, but I agree that if i was driving this van at low speeds where aerodynamics matter less, I'd expect to close the gap to the MachE...

Does a Rubik's solution require AI? Or can it be solved algorithmically? I'm actually most impressed with the mechanics of moving the tiles that fast with the necessary precision (my memories of Rubik's cubes were that there was quite a bit of slop when faces were spun).

My first coding experience was BASIC on a VIC-20 with cassette tape store. Memories...

Not sure why it only has 118hp. Electric motors scale easily (both inexpensively and volumetrically), so having a 160hp motor would be trivial and greatly improve the performance (even if it is a "grocery getter", some people like to push the right pedal down when merging onto the highway).

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved adaptative headlights (including matrix) in February 2022, but apparently (from googlefu), the permissible lumens output from the headlights wasn't increased, so while the headlights can dynamically reshape the beam, they...

4,975lbs. That's heavy. 1,600lbs more than a WRX.

Article headline should read: "Of the 1.4% of hard drives that failed at Backblaze, the mean time to failure was 30 months. The other 98.6% are still running.". There are plenty of better ways to present this data (survival analysis, censored vs uncensored data, etc) to make it meaningful.

The Dell CAMM migration has been a fiasco where I work (1000+ employee company). There have been massive delays in obtaining upgraded memory components (a simple upgrade from 16GB to 32GB in a 7670 has taken months) - And our IT folks have had to deal with supporting an entirely new form...

I subscribe to this channel - If you are interested in how cheap electronics are manufactured and the pitfalls you can experience (and what makes a quality product), it's awesome. He posts a review every week on a charger and goes into some good detail.

Andrew - Great point on the wiring load for the AC vs Heating. I'm assuming it was done to code (I have a 200amp service, but you never know).

I suspect I may need to go the Home Assistant route. It's more "rolling my own" than I'd like, but someone informed me that the my system will require customization due to the complexity, and outside of paying a HVAC company lots of money to set it up, there's no off-the-shelf solution. One of...

We are buying a single family house in Pennsylvania (cold winter and hot summer). It has an older gas fired hot water baseboard heating with 3 zones (the house has no ducts). The previous owners installed a new Ameristar split heat pump (model MTHM1530A14N with up to 4 splits and separate room...

Thanks for the info. I use an offline USB hard drive that's stored elsewhere as my "house burned down" backup. The backup image is refreshed every 3-months (suitable for my needs). I just wanted a daily incremental backup of my laptop if the hardware craters.

Paladin - Thanks. I'm trying to setup a 321 backup strategy. Up until this point, I've only used a USB harddrive that is stored offline and requires manual execution. I want to setup a real-time automated backup. Based on your reply, I'm assuming that Microsoft Backup software (bundled with...

Is there a way built into Windows 10/11 to automatically backup to another computer on a home wifi network? I don't currently have a windows home network active. I'd like to set my wife's computer to backup to my computer and vice versa using default software. Thanks in advance - Frisbee
