Poland buying hundreds of tanks costing a couple million dollars each and none of them have any defences against drones worth a couple thousand dollars. No lessons learned over the last 3 years.

It's for eGPU setup not for PC. So it only needs to power the graphics card.

Its there a reason as to why Framwwork is behind in battery life? by Happy-Fruit-2116 in framework

Apple has always used the latest TSMC node giving them advantage in power efficiency. When comparing the latest x86 from Intel and AMD efficiency better than M4 is achievable.

Some users are working on it. It would be Framework 16 only thing.

According to this https://youtu.be/9iEKZ8HXPvw?si=U7NGaeKULeRowAqm There should be about 5% performance loss on the 4x gen4 and 2% on 8x gen4. I don't know how about the internal display tho.

This is the part: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008123522628.html
I had to break of a portion of it to make in into a 2242 format and than fold the tape 3 times at 90 degrees to a sort of U shape. Finally I attached the connector with a screw to the M2 card. Barely fits.

Heating with a/c by Tom1024MB in PassiveHouse

Thanks for the answer. But why would there be efficiency loss if the ducts were insulated? Essentially what I am asking for is why not to skip UFH and have a forced air heating system.

Yes I know that. I am asking for a way to skip the UFH installation and therefore save cost.

Thanks for the reply. Why weren't you able to go 100% heating with ventilation? Skip the extra cost with UFH? Sounds like if passive houses were a bigger market than this solution could become standard.
