I don’t just eat junk, but it’s hard to experiment with a whole dietary change when you have sporadic inflammation. I guess that’s why we do scientific studies, right?
...Were those judiciary findings or legislative? I don't actually think that the President can Pardon someone incarcerated by the Legislature.
Maybe the solution to all this mess is for Congress to finally flex the Sergeant-at-Arms position. While there is a delegation to the Department of Justice for efficiency sake, there technically isn't anything preventing the Legislature from doing it's own footwork.
If the battery in the laptop is still good, it comes with it's own UPS. My MBPs haven't had an ethernet port in a minute, so do you have to supply your own adapters as well??? You could fit ~15 MBPs on their edge in 9RUs. That'd be an interesting looking rack. Not quite a blade chassis. It'd be rather boring looking as there's no blinky-blinkies
I didn't really think that any of what I wrote would be taken seriously to the point of needing a retort. I mentioned blade servers and knew rack unit measurements which as context clues would have suggested I was familiar with actual data center equipment.
And yet most homes and offices are full of them. Laptop batteries don't usually catch fire. At the colos I am familiar with (which have pretty strict rules, generally), you can have equipment with batteries as long as you regularly inspect them.
If you got creative with cable management you might be able to double up front and rear. It would probably be a PITA to manage but you could probably get some halfway decent density
Looks like they were proposing supplying usb Ethernet adapters, which doesn’t seem crazy, they’re cheap.
Hetzner rents you 42RU for €199 plus power and network. If we assume they can fill the entire rack, that's 4 9RU units for about €50 plus power and network.
If we assume an average power draw of 20W per laptop, that's 300W for each 15 laptop unit, or about €57/month in Hetzner's Finish DC (including aircon)
Not sure about network. A 1Gbit uplink with 10TB traffic (and €1/TB after that) is provided. Upgrading that to 10Gbit is probably similar to the €51/month cost for the same uplink for dedicated servers, so another €15 for each 15 laptop unit. Plus around €2/month/IP, but you can probably bring your own if you find a cheaper subnet to buy
So yeah, you are right that the math does not work out. But it is pretty close to break even. I think you can break even on this if you find a more space efficient way to cram them into the rack and don't pay yourself any salary
I have programmed well over hundreds of DVDs, and I can assure you, there were finicky players. Apex players were infamous on how cheap they were, and finicky is an appropriate word. DVD had a spec, and there were parts of the spec that Apex players did not do well at all. The spec allowed for random play. Apex players cheaped out on an PRNG type of ability and came with a saved preset list of random values. If you programmed a disc with random playback, it would playback exactly the same way every. single. time. It really sucked when we were programming games using the random feature. The spec allowed for 99 titles. Any where over 50 titles, and there was a better than not chance that an Apex player wasn't going to even recognize the disc. There were other quirks too, but I'm hoping the point was made
The amount of trash released to VHS during the heyday of Blockbuster is something most people forget about. Most people browsed along the walls for the new releases, but all of those shelves in the middle of the store were full of straight to home video releases that were really really not good. Think Hallmark channel content but with even less talent. Think Troma again, with less talent. Think Jack Black recreating movies bad, but without meaning to be that bad
People do this with music too. People forget that for every Fiona Apple there was 10 other studio manufactured slop artists just shoved out there by the industry, and these have largely been forgotten about.
Not quite the same though. If you picked up a dud from Blockbuster, it's no big as it was a cheap rental. For music, you had to buy it and then be stuck with it if you didn't like it. There was no music rental business. A lot of that has been forgotten because most people didn't buy it.
Even the Fiona Apples of the world had duds on their albums. Most albums had a few choice tracks and then filler. This is why so many people were happy for the $0.99 per track of the tracks you wanted instead of the $19.99 for the full album with songs you will forever hit skip.
