Water has a high heat capacity and conduction. This means that the water will absorb heat from the surrounding air, which will cool the panels even if they don’t touch the water. The high heat of evaporation will also cool it. This is why ocean cities (i.e. Redondo) are much more mild than inland cities. (i.e. Fullerto…

a 10Gb connection would handle Wifi N, but you’d need a 50 Gb connection to see any real performance improvement going from 802.11n to Wifi 7.

I’m going to wait for WiFi 11.  For the obvious reason.

“See, it’s WiFi 7! That’s one more connection speed than WiFi 6.”

This is not the case any more. With Wi-Fi 6 there was an update to the 2.4GHz where devices can run at 802.11 n and still have other devices run at 802.11Ax(Wi-Fi 6). Also 802.11 g devices would need to be getting on in years and it is probably time to replace those devices. As for 5 GHz these can also run…

That is not the case today. Each devices connects at its most capable protocol. Maybe that was something that cheaper brand routers and access points did but I don't recall any of my Cisco stuff in the past acting that way.

2nd Gear: Well, maybe they shouldn’t have built cities such that you need to use a car to get around them, anyway? I’m only in my 30's, but I’m almost definitely going to die before this country gets its head out of its ass about not essentially requiring people to spend tens of thousands a year on a car just to go…

1st gear: FMVSS108 limits front lighting to two (2) beam patterns, low and high. There’s a weird carve-out on dynamic lighting where the beam pattern stays the same; but just points in a different direction. Adaptive high-beam, along with ramped transitions between low and high beam, create new beam patterns and,…

I’m all for headlight improvements, especially when they prevent blinding other drivers. Now if they would only impound vehicles driving around on public roads with crazy bright LED light bars!

Not a big deal but gasoline taxes are mostly diverted to other non-road expenses already. And damage to roads is primarily a result of temperature cycling, poor initial foundations, and heavy trucks. Making a small change to passenger vehicle weight won’t make a difference.

I’m still in the greys, and will likely forever remain so, but:

Somewhere, deep within the steel and concrete labyrinth that is Troy Michigan’s Zoning and Housing annex (Inspections and Enforcement wing), a grizzled man slumps into his chair. Tracy, D. - case file TM - 18-22/JP-Fe2-O3 had meant so... so damn much to him.

I’m sure there are going to be a lot of people in the comments saying things like, “That’s it, I’m out of here! I’m never reading this site again!” First, grow up. Millions of people read this site, if you want to stop, go with god.

I thought you were just supposed to bale out and film the accident ?

Ha ha, If only the climate would have allowed for it.

I will say it took me longer than I care to admit for me to stop doing it once I got a new car.

Supply and demand is great until big companies are on the RECEIVING end of it.

I left a reply to the other poster but I think you guys are talking about two different things. You are talking about excess solar generated over the solar you use in a given year. This is not netted and no utility gives retail rates.

If that much!

With such little sunshine, it is smart that they never adopted a moniker like “The Sunshine State”. 

Big deal.  It’s not like solar is feasible in a place like Florida anyway.  They get, what? like 10 sunny days there every year?
