This sounds neat but I am frustrated that it didn’t cover the mechanism by which organic waste helps with de-icing. Is it a chemical reaction? Or something to do with the fibers? Even WSUs article doesn’t really explain it.https://news.wsu.edu/news/2019/12/02/sustaining-roads-grape-agricultural-waste/
1st, do not power the fan from the pi if possible to avoid any underpower headaches. It should be fine.
Your best bet is to just power it at 5v using a standard USB wall wart and a sacrificial USB cable (old 2.0 ones work best). Strip the USB cable and expose the positive and negative wires and hook them up to the positive and negative fan pins (identify these using a 4pin fan header diagram). You can either try just shoving the tips of the USB cable into the fan header using electrical tape as a quick bodge, or cut and strip the fan cables and twist them together.
I dual booted fedora kde 2 months ago with an AMD GPU and it has worked just as well as windows 11. There were some initial setup options I had to enable for proprietary drivers, but aside from that it has been solid. A few glitches here and there, but about the same as windows 11. I also went into this committing to not use the terminal, and so far I have been successful.
This is what Edison motors is doing and it looks like a great solution for the medium term while we wait for battery density and charging solutions to get better.
I look for high endurance drives which are intended for use with pi’s, dash cams, etc. they tend to come in smaller sizes due to the endurance requirements.
Except that most commercial firewalls offer quic protocol blocking for just this reason. I guess it is useful in some cases.
So the same companies that outsourced everything and cut local suppliers to the point that they shut down are now complaining about not having local suppliers or modern infrastructure? Talk about being short sighted.
To answer your question, yes that PSU looks like it should work. I’m not sure I would use this PSU for my NAS due to the quality of the manufacturer being unknown, but generally it should be fine so long as it is not mission critical.
Also if you have access to a 3d printer, there are some great designs for external drive cages to keep them safe and cool.
Ok on a more positive note, it makes me happy to read articles like this that seem to show some common sense and good planning by politicians running for office. I’d like to see more of it in the future.
A politician and their supporters putting together a rational game plan to execute on their promises? How dare they demonstrate competence! /s
You just stick the magnetic backing to the existing glass plate for flatness and rigidity. You might have to bump the heated temp 1 or 2 degrees to compensate for the additional thickness, and you may lose a couple of mm/s of print speed at the high end due to the additional weight. That said, it is a very cheap and easy to execute option.
That’s what they are saying. Buy a PEI plate with a magnetic backing, remove the rest of the abs from your glass build plate and stick the magnetic pad on it. Then the pei goes on top.
I did this as an upgrade to my own printer.
This is fantastic and I appreciate that it scales well on the server side.
Ai scraping is a scourge and I would love to know the collective amount of power wasted due to the necessity of countermeasures like this and add this to the total wasted by ai.
Every spring there are fewer bugs in our garden, and walking around we see signs on half our neighbors lawns warning about pesticide application. It’s ridiculous that on top of the agricultural pesticide use, we even allow residential use… FOR GRASS.
The pollinator garden is coming along nicely though in our yard, and it is one of the busier ones in our area which is nice.
The bearings are much sturdier as the fan is bolted to the motor, and the motor is a generic one meant to be used in any orientation. I personally bought [this](iLIVING 20" Wall Mounted Shutter… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVY8VCNZ) one for my house to cool it in the summer and at half power, every open window in the house has a stiff breeze.
Box fan bearings are not typically designed to run in that orientation. It will probably run for a while before failing prematurely. Might make it a couple months or just a few weeks.
This is a much more robust fan and they come in various sizes to better fit your opening. They move a lot more air, and many styles come with a thermostat and speed controller. Sorry for the Amazon link, this is just the general style: https://a.co/d/bLeBCeD
But is it illegal to disconnect or cover the antennae so it cant phone home?
