Electric planes will happen, and we can only guess at the eventual power source be it fuel cells, diamond batteries, or something we haven't imagined yet.

Still, your first suggestion very much...

The batteries you linked might be able to power an aircraft for a very long time, but they won't be getting their charge from any aircraft mounted generators they already contain it in the form of...

I explained why the self charging can't power the vehicle. You can't do forward motion = power generation = power for the motor = forward motion. That's perpetual motion and it's impossible....

Sorry Wainui, just give up on this one. The space station has no friction and needs no power to stay in orbit. Planes have to overcome air friction and maintain lift which takes power. The power...

Personal preference, for me I'm sticking with 10 until my next upgrade.

It's hard to imagine hydrogen cars getting established here unless someone comes up with a much better way to produce hydrogen. Current methods use much more energy than charging a battery does....

I disagree, not dim and not lame. Just expensive and uses a bit of wifi bandwidth

Don't windows 8 drivers normally work for windows 10? not sure but I thought they did.

Windows 10 can run fairly well on older/slower hardware so it should be ok in theory. I have a dual core low...

It's interesting but it doesn't really offer any solutions "Fewer cars. Less driving. Better communities and cities" Sure but how do we achieve that.
Whatever the solution is continuing with fossil...

Having a clone is a good backup but can cause issues if you leave them both connected and enabled due to them both being bootable and identifying the same. At least that used to be the case, haven't...

Linux may get much less Viruses than windows but they do still exist so not using an antivirus is still a risk.

I tend to try Linux again every couple of years, waiting for the day when it will...

I do exactly that with an old TPlink ADSL router to extend my wifi into the garage. Works pretty well although I did have a few goes at setting it up before I got it right. It can take a bit of...

Dial tone comes from the telephone exchange or a phone system not the phone, it's sent down the line the same as any other audio. You should be able to hear the tones when you dial though.

You absolutely sure there's no audio output? maybe an HDMI input with the ARC function or an optical Toslink connector?

Most cheap soundbars have one or both of those options and would sound a...

stops the electrons falling out on the corners perhaps

Lame huh? My solar powered wireless ring security lights have not failed in the 2 years I've had them, even mid winter they still charge the battery to 100% by mid morning most days.
Expensive yes,...

I've been seriously tempted just to buy a decent gaming laptop and a dock instead of building my own but I enjoy building PCs.

Expensive option, but I have a laptop + desktop + media PC and it...

Honestly for most people chipset doesn't really matter, the X570 is aimed at gamers and overclockers but the B550 is good enough for most people. There is a difference in the PCIE spec that might...

It was in stock at PBtech and had the chipset and features I wanted and was $50 cheaper than the Asus boards they were selling. Apparently it the VRMs aren't all that good on my board but that is...

The 5600 looks like a good all round CPU if you want to save a few $, really depends if you will use anything that will benefit from the 2 extra cores in the 5700 very often.
My gaming PC has a...

I think I like the pagan side of Easter better, of course being a spring festival it's 6 months out for us. Anyway seems there might have been a lot of orgies involved originally before the...

Ring current on old landlines is 90V (ish) AC. 93V AC sounds about perfect and should make the bell ring. It should not be constant though, 50V DC constant to power the phone, 90V AC pulsed to make...

Yeah I won't be putting LiFPO4 batteries in a cheap UPS, just not worth it and as tweak'e mentioned they aren't up to the load requirement at the same size. My gaming PC + monitor draws quite a bit...

I was playing a game (age of empires 2 nothing strenuous) and my UPS gave a long beep and shut off. If there was an issue with the mains it was too fast for me to notice, the lights stayed on.
I've...
