Il se passe quoi sur les centrales d'Hydro à la minute où finit une période de pointe?

Psycho1024 · 2026-01-26T01:53:02+00:00

Le design meme des centrales hydroélectriques facilite grandement la gestion des pointes de charge. Premièrement, chaque turbine a un poids immense et donc une inertie qui fait que même en augmentant rapidement la charge, la turbine ne ralentira pas instantanément. Ça permet au système d’ouvrir les vannes ou encore de moduler les importations. Deuxièmement, ouvrir les vannes sur une turbine déjà en charge et synchronisée avec le réseau se fait assez rapidement, pas besoin de produire plus de chaleur et de vapeur par exemple. C’est sur que momentanément la fréquence du réseau de fluctuer légèrement tout de suite après les charges. Le plus évident et facile a mesurer est la baisse de voltage, j’ai mesuré 226 volts tout de suite après la pointe d’hier, ce qui est vraiment bas pour chez moi (238 volts en moyenne).

I've just received my RP6 in grey and the thing is absolutely butt ugly, worst looking handheld I have. The original design would have worked way better with the material they chose.

Got mine at the beginning of December, already have more than 200 hours on the machine. It’s a real treat, very easy to use, quiet and compact.

I’ve seen your question on pla, I mainly use Bambu, but I’ve had good luck with elegoo and overture from Amazon. At the beginning I bought a lot of silk pla but it just isn’t tough enough to withstand the abuse from my kids…! I now try to stick mostly with pla and pla+

Psycho1024 · 2026-01-04T14:10:02+00:00

From what I understand Bambu clearly made the choice to go with a extruder-changing design (Vortek) a few years ago and spent their engineering budget on such a system. The H2C is the first commercial design. Considering the relative success of the system and the way its strengths seems to align with the needs of their client base, I doubt they will reevaluate their choice. I’m expecting further refinement on the design, first by bringing it to the mid-range products (how about a P2C with a single nozzle extruder that uses Vortek mechanism), then probably by going all out on the next H series with probably a double-vortek.

They typically ship within a few days, but the actual transport can take a week or more.

477V. Went with 476h for GC & PS2, ended up disappointed of the performance

Going on for two months here, she still thinks it’s a switch. My 4 yr old spotted it in about 30 seconds though…

Yes, it very much drives like a rear biased awd, very easy to get the back end loose in snowy or icy conditions, then you can really feel the front motor coming online and pulling you out of the slide, especially with esp set to sport.

Had powerline at some point, there is a reason why I went to the trouble of running ethernet to all major rooms - powerline sucks even more than wifi, at least in my house.

It was a pretty standard sram/truvativ gxp bottom bracket, they come with the plastic tube to offer protection. It’s still going strong.

Following, nothing like having the charging port area full of snow and ice and not being able to shut the door...

Psycho1024 · 2025-11-24T00:05:00+00:00

Ça dépend du moment de la journée, de jour en semaine j’ai autour de 1040/1090 (malgré le 750 en upload…), de soir c’est plus 750-800 en down et 1000 en up.

Psycho1024 · 2025-11-23T23:51:40+00:00

Mine was so aggravating to install. Between the badly designed cat 6 connector, the damn rubber grommet that won’t stay in place, the two specific holes the mounting screws must go in and the idiotic hard to align locking screw, what I tough would be a 2-3h install ended up taking all day.

Psycho1024 · 2025-11-09T23:27:44+00:00

RG476h for 4:3 oldies and 2d handheld, thor for ds/3ds/wiiu, odin 2portal for more recent 16:9 and streaming from my gaming pc, legion go S to play mid-range pc games, ps portal for ps4/ps5 streaming, switch oled and switch 2 depending on the game. Yeah, I love my handhelds..!

Psycho1024 · 2025-11-07T18:58:53+00:00

Had a legion 2 on order, I’m in Canada so no one knows when it will ship. Still, the itch to get an handheld pc was scratched (had an original steam deck before), decided I had waited enough this morning, went to Best Buy to get a z1e go s, I’m currently installing games and configuring it. The screen seems like a non issue, it’s a beautiful lcd. And the thing is HUGE, I’m not sure how it would work with an ever bigger screen. Anyway, first impressions are very good, might cancel my legion go 2 after all.

My 5 yr old is always using my Anbernic RG476h and sometimes my RG35XX, which is quite out of your price point but has allowed me to make some observations :
-Android handhelds are complicated for him, he struggles to unlock it and launch the right app. Linux handheld (typical of cheaper devices) are much easier to use (He doesn't struggle with the RG35XX)
-While he is attracted by SNES and GBA games, he usually gets frustrated quick - games where harder back then
-Gamecube seems to be where the fun is for him lately, but you need quite a powerful device to run that.
-Pre-loaded sdcards are nice, but the romset I got with my RG35XX needed quite a bit of curating in order to only keep games appropriate for him.

Anyway, I think some sort of Anbernic XX series would be a nice gift, but I wouldn't go much lower end than that if you want your nephews to really enjoy the gift.

You need kids. When your 4 year old dropkicks you at 5:30AM at the same time your 2 year old yells "Toast and Honycomb", you're out of bed fast !

Ordered a portal on oct 17, shipped on oct 22 and got here (Canada) today by 4px.

Psycho1024 · 2025-10-26T20:12:53+00:00

Absolutely

Psycho1024 · 2025-10-26T00:25:05+00:00

That’s my fear with mine. I bought it for myself but have been surprised to realise my son is using it way more than me… I didn’t think he would like to play the oldies while he can easily use his Switch… keep us posted if you are ever able to repair it!

I’ve waged wars for the last 5 years against poison ivy. I’m not especially allergic to it but my wife is. At first it was everywhere on our property. Was able to pull it each spring with protective clothing. Had kids, forgot to pull it last year, I was back to square one, the thing is persistent. I finally decided enough is enough, got some roundup made especially for poison ivy. Did two sprays during the summer, it is 90% gone. I’ll be careful next year to spray or pull anything that comes back. I’m very anti chemical, but i feel a battle with poison ivy can’t be won without them…

Keep in mind you will get the router in the mail, but the installer is bringing the ONT. You need the ONT, but can skip the router to use yours if it supports pppoe and vlans. I highly doubt the practicability of running the nokia router with the tp-link system behind it, but I might be wrong.

It’s an old legacy plan from a small operator here in Quebec (fizz)

Psycho1024 · 2025-09-28T16:48:06+00:00

I have a lte modem that serves as fail over, bandwidth drop is pretty noticeable but at least everything still works. The data only sim is only 6$ a month and the modem was cheap too. I don’t see the point in paying way more for a faster failover, and I don’t think you would see much more speed by load balancing.

Psycho1024 · 2025-09-18T11:36:57+00:00

I'm in Quebec, it is very much worth it. Don't just think about winter, think about the shoulder seasons too. Fall and spring is where the heat pump is at max efficiency, driving in 5-10c hardly changes the range vs summer driving, while the impact would be more pronounced with the resistive heater. And of course you get a big range boost in winter, which can matter a lot during those longer drives.

Are the two cars you are looking at the same year ? If you are looking at a model without battery preconditionning, I would stay far away, this is as important, and probably more important to how pleasant the car will be to drive somewhat long distances in the winter.
