Does anyone have any insights into the proprietary graphics buses that were being created leading up to the VESA Local Bus (as referred to in the article)? I was not aware of anything between 16-bit ISA and the addition of VLB. Did any of

This is called outdoor air temperature reset. It's been commonly used in medium to large size buildings (ie multi residential buildings) back 100 plus years. Originally there might have been an operator doing the adjustment daily, late

The system in Toronto takes cold water from deep in Lake Ontario, runs it through heat exchangers that feeds the district cooling loop downtown. The lake water continues out of the heat exchangers into the intake of the water treatment syst

I really enjoy typing on the unicomp buckling spring keyboard; I've had an older model for a long time. It seemed very well built on the outside, however eventually a number of keys stopped functioning. Taking it apart, I found that th

The high temperature limit switch should never be tripping, even when the furnace runs continuously. This indicates you have a problem with temperature rise across the heat exchanger, probably from inadequate airflow. Your ducts may be size

A CV boot keeps dirt from getting into the CV joint and keeps grease from flying out. Dirt that gets in causes increased wear. Unless the boot is majorly damaged, very limited dirt gets in, most of the grease stays in, and lifetime of the j

Perceptions of brand reliability at that. I would hazard a guess that Toyota and Lexus have very similar real-world reliability - most of them share platforms. However this article shows that Lexus owners perceive their cars to be more reli

I think it's also worth looking at mikrotik. I run a HAP ac2 for travel which is small, has dual Wi-Fi radios, and enough power for good speeds on IPsec VPN. It also supports wireguard. They also have a tiny, less powerful unit (mAP) t

How is this different from other manufacturers? Focal distances are pretty similar between all of these for SLR versus mirrorless. Canon offers adapters for their mirrorless cameras, both EF-M and RF. https://www.canon.ca/e

I played mp3s on a 486dx2... I think at 40MHz (but could be after 100MHz upgrade). The biggest issue was bitrate, I think it struggled with 128kps but was fine if they were encoded anywhere below. Certainly could not play 160kps. 96kps mp3s

We do have a power crunch coming; take a look at the IESO annual planning outlook[1]. Page 78/79 of the 2022 APO show grid emissions dramatically increasing - due to the transition to gas generation. Also take a look at resource adequ

What about installing Windows 98 in dosbox? I haven't tried this but have done it with Windows 3.11. This was the first result when I searched: https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/Guide%3AInstalling-Windows-98

Although I do remember the ATi drivers on the later Rage Pro could get pretty buggy. I remember the most problems with OpenGL games....

I played a ton of Mechwarrior 2 (ATI 3D Rage Edition) - the Aptiva bundle version - and didn't notice it being buggy.... Maybe this is a later version and earlier versions were more buggy?

Nowadays it really depends on how the immobilizer works to figure out how to/if you can override it easily. I'm familiar with a couple designs - and on my vehicle I found it trivial to temporarily override (with the wiring diagram

Also still using a X220 (X230 motherboard swapped) with Debian and a T430s (with 1080p swap) with Windows. Agreed that the X220 form and function is excellent. The 7-row keyboard is amazing. The IPS screen is serviceable. The swappable 9-ce

I've had a bunch of APC SmartUPS 1500 in both tower and rack formats. I found the batteries in the rack version, where batteries lay on their sides, reach end of life much sooner than the tower version, where batteries are upright. It&

The x220 battery definitely works with the x230 but requires the DRM patch. I'm running an x230 mainboard in what is otherwise an x220. It's an EC not BIOS path so should work with coreboot. Files at https://github.com&

The big disadvantage of the T420s/430s is the s batteries do not use standard cells. The T420/430, X220/230 (and I assume w series) battery packs use standard 18650 cells. In the x220 battery packs the controllers are not loc

I've been very happy with their esp32 boards. Easy, cheap, well integrated. The only issue I've had is the battery charger circuit on some boards has a fuse instead of a diode making it a hazard (realized pretty quickly while test
