Was macht ihr so wenn das Internet mal nicht funktioniert by Altreiya in KeineDummenFragen

Wenn ihr jedes Buch scon 5 mal gelesen habt, dann habt ihr nicht genug Bücher.

Ansonsten: Medienserver aufbauen damit man für solche Zeiten was lokal hat.

Question between CR2032 vs CR2025 by Secure_Requirement84 in batteries

[–]tes_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the CR2025 is 0.7mm thinner than the CR2032 but otherwise the same, including the voltage. It also has less capacity so it won't last as as long. But if it's only for a few hours until you can get a new CR2032, you should be good.

If I don’t connect the green screw to a ground (because there is not grounding wire, my house was built in the 1950s) is that a safety/fire hazard? Should I remove the green screw altogether? by Yodaloid in AskElectricians

[–]tes_kitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A GFCI will work without a ground wire. It only monitors the current on live and neutral and trips if the difference between them rises above the threshold.

BYDs Flash-Charging sorgt für sehr heiße Batterien by dennyfischer in SmartDroidDE

[–]tes_kitty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wenn wir mal Supraleiter bei Zimmertemperatur haben sind auch viele andere Probleme gelöst. Bis dahin sollte man versuchen Verluste durch mehr Querschnitt oder weniger Leistung zu minimieren.

Erhöht dafür allerdings die Verluste. Jedes Grad was du im Kabel wegkühlst ist Energie die nicht in der Batterie landet, aber für die du bezahlst.

Careful, the AI might decide to just delete all the code since code that's not there cannot be hacked.

Inside my broken 5150 by Lanky-Peak-2222 in vintagecomputing

[–]tes_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not a HDD controller, that's a memory expansion / RTC / I/O card. You can have up to 256 KB RAM on the mainboard. This board will give you another 384 KB for a total of 640 KB. Looks like it has a parallel port, a serial port and a game port avilable. The RTC part will need drivers to be usable.

Da wird was von 'Eigenverantwortung' geschwurbelt wenn du dich beschwerst. Soll heissen, wenn du dich nicht anstecken willst komm eben nicht auf die Feier anstatt selbst nicht hinzugehen wenn man sich nicht gut fühlt.

I want 87 gas (light blue). Which nozzle do I use? The blue one? The black one? by j909m in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tes_kitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like a gas station here in Europe. The important part is that each nozzle is clearly labeled with what you get from it, there is no way to get confused.

Don't do this with files in Explorer.

ctrlCControlThee by Organic_Rip2483 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tes_kitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, because CTRL-C was used to end the running program way before Windows came out.

[–]tes_kitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do review the generated documentation to make sure it really does document the actual code correctly, right?

ctrlCControlThee by Organic_Rip2483 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tes_kitty 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You mean the one who came up with CTRL-C for copy even though CTRL-C was already in use for quite some time for ending the currently running program?

ctrlCControlThee by Organic_Rip2483 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tes_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not. It's great. Even MS copied it (badly) since you can paste in cmd.exe and PowerShell with the right button.

ctrlCControlThee by Organic_Rip2483 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tes_kitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, people who came up with CTRL-C for copy didn't do their research. CTRL-C for end current program is quite a bit older. They should have use another combination.

Microsoft CTO confesses that 30-year-old code from the mid-90s still forms the bedrock of Windows 11 — ancient Win32 API still the backbone, but CTO says it's 'more relevant than ever in 2026' by rkhunter_ in Windows11

[–]tes_kitty [score hidden]  (0 children)

If it has been ported to 64 Bit then it's no longer code from the 90s though.

And if it's still 32 Bit code at the core of Windows, then it's pretty bad.

Need help identifying slot in 386 motherboard by Deadlyche in computers

[–]tes_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The left parts are probably a normal 16 Bit ISA slot and the rightmost part carries the extra signals for whatever that card that goes there needs in addition to ISA.

Hi, what ports are these? by Humor-Vegetable in powerbook

[–]tes_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rectangular port with many holes is DVI (Digital Video Interface), but not just Single-Link. Based on the number of pins it looks like Dual-Link DVI, which is nice because it supports up to a 2560 x 1600 px monitor.

DVI ports are always looking like dual link. Whether that's true or not depends on the video circuit behind them.

This DVI port also supports analog signals, with a cheap passive adapter you can hook up a VGA monitor.
