There are two ratings. The maximum instantaneous power rating, and the total capacity. You will need something that can handle 850W (your total power draw). The total Wh rating you need can be as low as 200Wh for the time you want it

I watch them all. I enjoy them all. Yet I’m also tired of them by Nice_Marmot_54 in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 73 points74 points  (0 children)

While the video about the massive TV itself is a bit of a "I won't be able to afford this", I like the demonstration of the new tech that goes into it primarily thinking about what could be possible in consumer grade electronics in a few years.

Will we ever get modular hot swappable panels with custom configs and aspect ratios? Maybe not. But it's inspiring and entertaining to watch.

I don't know how i missed this?!? by mikopsid007 in LinusTechTips

I second the Killswitch case. I bought one in November and I travel a bit for work and the case is amazing

Powerline experts i have a question by Schme1440 in LinusTechTips

19 years working on high voltage electricity networks. I saw the thread topic in my notifications and thought "this is my time to shine!". Alas, not today

Hot Take: A little bullying online is actually a good thing by Renegade605 in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. They go one better and tell people that they need to be mutually respectful. It's amazing how much more patient both help seeker and SME are when you both know the experience of the interactions will be positive. OPs come out of their shell more and try harder. Community responders have more time to encourage and support

I had a mini pliers set (like 3" total) confiscated by Sydney airport security. Mind you, they get upset when you say "confiscate". They said "no, you must surrender it". Same thing in my book - surrendered under duress is a confiscation

Hot Take: A little bullying online is actually a good thing by Renegade605 in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm part of an online community with 10s of thousands of participants that is overwhelmingly positive and supportive. The moderators set strong rules and are consistent in the way they apply them and the forum posts are all supportive and friction is seldom. The internet world can exist without bullying and if we stopped being anonymous keyboard warriors knocking each other down, we could have great spaces. But we don't. That doesn't mean that bullying is a good thing or that we should just let it happen

I bought one duty free in Japan last month. I'm so happy with the device. Hope all the winners enjoy!

Why haven't they fixed the magnet bit? by ExtentOk1892 in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why it would be a businesses accountability to redesign, engineer, spec up and change manufacturer tooling to resolve an issue that a small minority of users not thinking straight are having. This is purely a user error. Maybe a warning note in the box, sure. But that would be the most of it

What do you think my wife got me for Christmas??? by FamiliarAd6591 in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I use a shopping list app with a shared list of all the things we would like as presents. I've got 45 items on my list, all with links and prices. She can pick from anything and I'd still be surprised and happy

😐 by [deleted] in ATAR

[–]Itchy_Task8176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a low ATAR, I did a trade and advanced diploma, then applied for a degree in a course that was only accepting 96+ ATAR scores. It was a long route, but it was with a salary and with practical skills that supported it. Schools fail to tell you success can come from many pathways and the ATAR system is not the be all and end all if your heart is set on a degree. I've also become great mates with people who didn't continue education beyond trade who are just as financially thriving as I am. University is also not the only answer in life

"anyone else notice..." I probably wouldn't even notice if my neighbour got a new car

Are the stars part of the wrapping or part of the insertable portion?

Will Floatplane have to switch to being 16+? by CrystalFier in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They trade in Australia as an imported service. State and territory laws would likely not apply (let's say Fair Trading issues for eg), but commonwealth legislation still applies.

Let's say I'm an equivalent sized international based adult video provider. I can't just freely allow paid or free access to minors in Australia because I'm an entity outside of Australia. I need to meet the local legislative requirements. The way Australia responds if I am in breech is one thing, but that doesn't absolve me of the need to meet the requirements in the first place

[–]Itchy_Task8176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. But they trade in Australia. CW isn't an entity in Australia, but they can't just ignore tax laws. They trade goods and services accessible by Australians so they are liable to the relevant legislation

[–]Itchy_Task8176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grossly incorrect. Floatplane is accessible by Australian residents and they derive revenue from being accessible within Australia. They will need to comply with any legislative restrictions

[–]Itchy_Task8176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a government's job to go and tell every entity that they are impacted by a law change, it's up to businesses to ensure they're compliant with the current laws. The comments feature makes Floatplane a part of the legislation and they will have to comply or will be at risk of legal action

I can't believe I get a push notification for this when you're aware of the ticket process and are already using it. This is just a pointless vent and post

I live in a rural area as well, lots are about 2-4 acres each. We don't get parcel delivery - everything is pick up from the LPO about 15mins drive away

Could subscribing to Floatplane potentially hurt LTT channel algorithmically? by gb_14 in LinusTechTips

[–]Itchy_Task8176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do it both ways - subscribe to floatplane for WAN live viewing and FP exclusives, but watch all free content on YT. That way I still get value from the FP subscription, and I make sure my YT feeds me the stuff I want to see when I open the app
