They just had the first stone laying ceremony so that explains the new wave of publications on the project.
They are using a Vanadium flow battery by the company Invinity Energy Systems which is British-Canadian.
I’m a little unsure whether it’s a good idea to combine this with a datacenter, I hope the datacenter bubble popping won’t jeopardize the whole project.
Moving the goalpost much?
They are still calling it Fable hm? I know I should just ignore it, but re-using names makes me unreasonably mad.
This is Fable and has been released for a while:
That sounds like someone takes their fiduciary responsibility seriously. Good job.
You linked to a page that has “Life is Strange: Reunion” at the top, the seventh game. I would suggest using this link instead:
https://lifeisstrange.square-enix-games.com/en-us/games/life-is-strange-remastered-collection it’s not the original release, but at least the remaster of the one you mean. Square Enix seems to have taken down the page for the original release.
Did you ever upgrade the CPU?
I am also still on AM4, started with a Ryzen 2700 (non-X) and then bought a 5800X later. I also upgraded from a RX 580 to RX 6800 four years ago. No real reason to change anything since. I’m really happy with the longevity.
Why even assign a hantavirus official? Just for stoking fears and using them politically? It’s not like a pandemic is looming.
Devs of which project? I thought it was in Kernel 6.14 and wine 11?
Ah cool! Didn’t know that!
Interesting post. Thanks for sharing.
I hadn’t heard of this W thing. And this does not inspire confidence.
600’000 times hundred would be 60 million dollars, you’re off by a decimal. But still, agreed on your point
KdF = Kraft durch Freude = power through joy
They also used that branding for holiday camps etc. For example here’s the arial view of the Koloss von Rügen holiday complex in Prora, which also never saw any visitors because they didn’t finish it before they started the war:
I’ve only had middling luck with KDE apps on macOS. Kate didn’t run, Okular was fine.
It’s no wonder since they are only provided as nightlies. But that’s understandable, if I was a KDE dev I’d also be loathe to buy into Apples ecosystem.
Unfortunately they won’t let me have Linux at work.
At least kiddies can eventually learn, the biggest fans of these things are worse, they are MBAies
Yeah dragging Don Ho through the mud with his LLM remake, that’s the offensive part.
It is 240 W actually. Seems Techpowerup was wrong. See my first comment: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/59511400/25528592
The source of law here is Directive 2022/2380 (which amends Directive 2014/53), in Article 2 a grace period until 2026-04-28 is defined for the category of laptops. This has now expired, which explains the renewed wave of articles being published.
The directive itself is not that interesting to read, as a lot of it is just empowering the Commission to make a decision on the specifics. The result is in the Commission Delegated Regulation 2023/1717. Although it seems to me like something is missing. I can’t find more though.
A very interesting Q&A from their Commission Notice – Guidance document:
- Are laptops and other radio equipment that require more than 240 W of charging power exempted from the ‘common charger’ rules?
No. They are not exempted. Radio equipment which is subject to the ‘common charger’ rules must incorporate the harmonised charging solution.
The Commission has updated (in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1717), the references to the standards cited in Annex Ia to the latest version of the European standards. Therefore, due to the amendments introduced by this delegated regulation, radio equipment subject to the ‘common charger’ rules must incorporate the harmonised charging solution up to their maximum charging power or up to 240W if their maximum charging power is above 240W (as opposed to 100W in the previous versions of the standards concerned).
The Commission will continue to update the technical specifications set out in Annex Ia, in order to reflect scientific and technological progress or market developments provided that such developments meet the objectives of the common charging solution.
But then also
- Are proprietary charging receptacles allowed in addition to a USB-C receptacle?
Yes. The RED only requires radio equipment subject to the ‘common charger’ rules to be equipped with the USB-C receptacle. The use of other receptacles is therefore not prohibited as long as the covered radio equipment is also equipped with a harmonised charging (USB-C) receptacle.
That means those hefty laptops going up to 350 W or whatever, now need to accept 240 W over USB PD, but they may still include additional proprietary charging solutions that are rated higher.
Also I don’t think the 100 W limit that some outlets report is actually in force since 2023/1717 has replaced the references to ‘EN IEC 62680-1-3:2021’ by those to ‘EN IEC 62680-1-3:2022’
Reading on, yes they make that explicit further down:
- Is a radio equipment allowed to charge above 240 W when using an additional charging protocol?
Yes. If the radio equipment proprietary charging solution requires more than 240 W (e.g. 300 W), the concerned radio equipment must also support USB PD up to 240W.
The Commission has updated, via Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1717, the references to the standards cited in Annex Ia to the latest version of the European standards. The updated version of the standards will apply as of the date of applicability of the relevant rules introduced to the RED by the Common Charger Directive, i.e. for handheld mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, headsets, handheld videogame consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems and earbuds, as of 28 December 2024 and, for laptops, as of 28 April 2026. This means that as from those dates a radio equipment, if it listed in Annex Ia and is capable to be recharged by means of wired charging at power above 240 W, must incorporate the harmonised charging solution up to 240 W.
The Commission will continue to update the technical specifications set out in Annex Ia, in order to reflect scientific and technological progress or market developments provided that they meet the objectives of the common charging solution.
There is the Mint version that is based directly on Debian, instead of Ubuntu: LMDE
I haven’t used it myself, maybe someone with actual experience can comment on it.
Peak output needs to be 1.2 GW not GWh.
