As we know, I’m constantly doing research on a variety of things mostly related to circuits and other bits of science and came across this bit: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/surgex-zerosurge-brickwall-tripplite-or-what-kind-of-surge-protector-do-you-use.9205/
It was a pretty interesting read. My understanding is that the current into the wall, along with the voltage, is constant, which is why our devices use transformers to change the voltage. That would leave the power rating as being modified with resistance or a drop in voltage, leading to a drop in power. That’s in regards to the bit about brownouts. It is also my understanding that the joule rating is the amount of energy the MOVs can absorb before blowing with a higher rating equating a longer life to the devices and a lesser chance of failure. Those points are refuted by that thread, interestingly enough. That said, it doesn’t go into too much detail on how the non-sacrificial surge protectors dissipate the extra energy, as heat or something else. More research is definitely required and may even be worthy of a blog post 🙂
If I can find a dead one, it may be worth dissecting it to figure out how it works. They’re too expensive to break down a working unit 😛
So I did the usual plugin updates a few minutes ago and the first time I refreshed (probably ten minutes or so after the updates completed), the site spit out a critical error. I refreshed again and everything was fun but keep an eye out!
Edit:
Yeah, something is going on. It keeps popping up sporadically. Applied the CleanTalk updates today and they were rather large updates so something may be amiss there. We may want to disable them temporarily to troubleshoot if it gets too annoying
Will read them again. Granted, it has been a while so maybe a refresher will help
Interestingly, one of the other classes took so I suspect it was a bug related to the type of block and its container.
Sorry, I hadn’t had time to really look at it so I wasn’t aware that it was a paid plugin. We can chuck that idea, then.
Can definitely see about reviving things there. And definitely, a blog series is a good idea. 🙂 Will look into it!
Yeah, I’m able to run it at max settings on Windows without trouble. I only dropped the resolution down to 1080 as I got tired of listening to the fans 😛
Looks like this is a very old issue. Got some tips in there. I can say that the shader package renaming did make my game run smoother on my old GTK 260.
And an old Anand thread for more information. That’s the conflict I was referring to, I think.
Toasted HDDs anybody? 😛
I added the padding styles back in for blog posts. I did try adding the backgrounds for the post header and post body but they’re doing some weird stuff to set the widths for those blocks so it didn’t go well. I’ll need to see if I can take another approach.
Gotta say that WordPress does get frustrating at times with the weirdness they use.
Whelp. My settlement in NMS farms dirt. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any systems that want it. They will only buy it for 40% or less below market value. 😛
Taking a break from hunting down Atlas to work on my base and explore the systems I’ve already visited. My fleet has grown by a ship, too. 🙂
