  1. Not really. Romex, used in houses is rated at 90 degree's so if we look at the 90 degree column we see that 14AWG can handle 25 Amps and 12AWG can handle 30 Amps, but by code the sizes with the ** can only be breakered at the 60 degree rating.
  2. It's just marketing, that it can handle more than it's rating. Also the most common breakers are thermal-magnetic breakers, they don't trip instantly. I've seen in rush currents exceed a breakers rating many times.
  3. They're just saying it has a lot of headroom. It's a 1300w power supply that can handle double it's rating for short periods.
  4. A couple of years ago I was hit in my new work van by a car with NO driver. I was making the left here. As soon as I turned the corner, about where the green dumpster is, I see a woman running next to her car with the door open. The door knocks her over, the car literally runs her over and continues down the hill. I tried to get over as far as I could in what little time I had, but it slammed into the side of me. She had the car in reverse instead park when she got out. Everyone was alright, even the woman that ran herself over. After it happened, I was glad her car ran into me instead continuing into 3 lanes of traffic.
  5. Wait.....What??? That doesn't make any sense. Even if you are using encryption, it wouldn't be tied to the NIC.
  6. The mitigations are performance killers...at least on Linux. Benchmarking The Linux Mitigated Performance For Retbleed: It's Painful WWW.PHORONIX.COM Yesterday Retbleed was made public as a new speculative execution attack exploiting return instructions.
  7. You did a suspension rebuild at a camp ground? I've replaced a water pump in the parking lot of a bank, but I didn't CHOOSE to do it there...it was just where my friend happen to break down.
  8. It's the carrier or the phone maker that is stopping their app from being uninstalled not Google. The OS is open source, you can install a different flavor of Android if you wish....even one without any Google services.
  9. I guess I've never had a phone that had non-OS apps installed. I've always had Google branded phones with vanilla Android, which is ironic that they're the easiest to degoogle. The problem seems to be more with phone carriers and manufacturers, not Google.
  10. That's hard to do when one app can be a dependency of another, like on Windows, you can't uninstall file explorer without breaking the system. The best thing is to nuke the OS and install a degoogled ROM.
  11. I tried running this, since it's a windows only benchmark and I'm using Linux.....it crashes when starting the Skill bench. The bench doesn't detect my memory, drive or my GPU. It see's my 6900XT as it's code name.
  12. I don't know why they always mention Google in articles related to side loading and third party stores when both are available on Android.
  13. When I was a kid, every week I looked forward to the beginning of The Fall Guy just to see Heather Thomas in that bikini. And I've always wanted that truck.
  14. TOS was first, so it's the new shows that are contrary to the original, not the other way around. The shows were based on the times in which they were created. But then there's this...
  15. I didn't know that Mr Potato head started out needing an actual potato....or that it would eventually go woke.
  16. They would probably call it Vindows...like when they made a knock-off Wii and called it a Vii or something off the wall like "YippyYah" just like all knock-off stuff on Amazon.
  17. The correction still doesn't present a clear picture of what the OS is. Which could mean that they wrote a Unix or Linux based OS using Borland C++ in Windows 98.
  18. Have you changed your brake hoses? Recently I had a brake caliper that would stick sometimes, so I replaced my calipers along with rotors and pads and since I had to bleed the system anyway...I replaced all the fluid. Next day, the same wheel locked up so tight the wheel was smoking like it may have been on fire. The lug nuts were so hot I couldn't touch them. My shiny new rotor was now purple. It was a bad brake hose. It looks good from the outside but the inside swells up restricting flow which causes the caliper to not release.
  19. Since you posted the Hip. I'm the one person outside of Canada that listens to the Hip....maybe because I've been Screeched In and became an Honorary Newfie at a bar in St John's.
  20. Open source makes the world a better place. It's on github. GitHub - GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-FSR2: FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 GITHUB.COM FidelityFX Super Resolution 2. Contribute to GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-FSR2 development by creating an account on GitHub.
  21. It was a settlement, from the original article linked in the IGN article.
  22. Musk will eventually buy Twitter, he's just trying to lower the price. Twitter still wants the deal to happen.
