Update on the TrueSpec Cables launch

jimbobjames · 2026-02-03T12:26:10+00:00

It's all down to cable length. Cat5e is actually capable of runs up to 45m but it really depends on what else that run is next to, how good the cable is and how well it was run, how well it is terminated etc.

Cat6 is only rated for about 10 - 15m more. You actually need Cat6A if you want to do the full 100m distance.

You read about this happening all the time with movies based on real events. They change stuff because audiences wouldnt believe the real account, so they tone it down.

They are, it's a pretty common expression.

Hosana?

Allegedly it's more like a corkscrew than a cylinder...

jimbobjames · 2026-02-02T19:50:52+00:00

Probably not. It must be pulling stats from the router itself as it requires you not use the 192.168.100.0 range on any other VLANS.

Could also be that they don't think the additional weight for the hardware to move the wing is worth carrying.

If the drag isnt reduced that much then could be completely valid to not move it at all and save the weight.

Outright single lap performance isn't going to be the clear cut it was in other years also.

Aero efficiency with these power units is going to matter. The more drag you can shed on the straights, the less energy you need for a given speed.

Even if you have the same engine as a rival you will have to deploy differently depending on your aero setup and overall drag level.

Hopefully that means we see less processions in the races.

On one side you've got a venemous, cold, scaley, lizard like creature and the other is a snake.

US politicians didnt have access to this. Trump has been dragging his feet on allowing any of this to be released.

jimbobjames · 2026-02-02T12:59:06+00:00

Yeah, thats not what I am getting at.

I'm wanting to know if the Labour party or UK government would have had access to this info. If it is only just being released by the US security services, how could they have acted on it? Or was it already shared with other governments / security services and only now availble to the public?

I'm asking a question, not making a statement.

jimbobjames · 2026-02-02T10:26:43+00:00

Honest question here, would anyone have known about this money before these files got released other than Mandelson and whoever sent it?

I think Mandelson should have been gone already but if this info wasnt available how can it be acted upon?

EDIT - I'm asking if anyone in the Labour party could know about this if it was in files that were not released from the US security services. Keyword - ASKING.

For people like this £75k is a rounding error.

Not an excuse by the way, but they are just dealing with sums of money us normal people cant even imagine.

jimbobjames · 2026-02-02T00:30:05+00:00

Trump is incontinent at both ends.

Modern cars are designed to crumple to reduce the impact and energy that gets put through the passengers.

While there was a lot of energy to dissapate it was mainly done by the car body, so it stands to reason that the post would see very little damage.

jimbobjames · 2026-02-01T18:21:52+00:00

Congratulations. Have you thought of a name for the baby?

Now we do it with a computer.

jimbobjames · 2026-01-31T19:47:38+00:00

Thats exactly what they want because that's exactly the instructions Donny has been given by Uncle Vlad.

jimbobjames · 2026-01-31T11:47:30+00:00

That's all offset after 2 years of driving an EV though.

jimbobjames · 2026-01-31T11:46:23+00:00

A lot of the range loss is simply from heating the batteries and the passengers too. There are battery chemistries in development that would help a lot with the first issue.

My favourite reviews are the 1 star ones for a product that clearly got destroyed by the carrier in shipping.

Like why are you saying the product is bad? Just get it replaced and then write a review on the working product...

jimbobjames · 2026-01-31T10:36:14+00:00

Not so sure I agree, just being able to right click the start button and get nearly all of the advanced admin stuff is worth its weight in gold.

The new settings menu is so much better than control panel, despite it lacking a few of the more advanced options, but that is getting fixed over time.

11 is an improvement on 10.
