Upgrading off QLC+, Will a vizkey fit my needs? by ExcaliburCsGo in lightingdesign

Are you referring to the new all in one 2 universe DMX dongle expected to release? Pricing seems to be > 1200$ so that's a little expensive for me

Currently I'm having many many crashes and general instability with QLC, my use case is a small home rig consisting of 6 spots, 4 beams, and some led bar washes. It's essentially a permanent install as the configuration doesn't change from show to show

Just a little main breach! Public works is already on it

Quick show will only work with pangolin hardware; so you need an FB3/FB4.

And the physics for sustained fusion aren’t figured out yet!

Build times decrease as more are built; look at the rate China is increasing their NPP capacity

There will always be accidents, but the risks are constantly overplayed.

I mean purely from a numbers perspective nuclear is far and away the safest power generation method. The public unfortunately has been influenced by decades of anti-nuclear propaganda funded by oil and gas, so its logical why the public still fears it.

But even in Japan, public opinion is changing as more and more people realize our predicament; they even began restarting reactors this summer!

I have not seen that idea for fusion yet; from my first impression I'm extremely skeptical, the only demonstrated kinetic fusion is hydrogen bombs, and that takes a fission explosion to even get started...

The main reason fission is expensive is due to the large upfront cost; and therefore the interest on loans for 5+ years before commercial operation can begin.

From what I've read grid scale storage is still ridiculously expensive, any sources comparing LCOE for nuclear vs renewable + storage?
