Wow, that's a bigger ripoff than Grainger. At least they give discounts for business accounts that spend a lot.

That would require the car to have a fast charger on board. That's a lot of extra cost and weight.

It would be much better to have a robotic connector that automatically connects to the car when you pull up to the charger.

They should just make it DisplayPort only and provide a DP to HDMI 2.1 dongle with it.

Are you looking for a 7 segment display? A lot of people build those with LED strips and 3D printed parts. You can often find large 7 segment LED displays on ebay or aliexpress too.

No, some of them are running generators on site to get more power.

With a 50 kWh battery, that's 5 kWh wasted per full charge or 90 cents at the average US electric rate just for being too lazy to plug in a cable.

Good, it should be banned or restricted to 18+ everywhere until they start moderating appropriately. It's absolutely not suitable for children.

Use SSH. Ether open a port in the firewall or connect it to a VPN. If the backups are done on a schedule, you could also setup a cron job on the Pi to send the WoL packet a few minutes ahead of time.

You could use a very low power computer that's always on like a Raspberry PI Zero W to send the WoL packet to the backup computer. It only uses about 1 watt. Some routers have the ability to send a WoL packet as well.

Like the SCR-536? It uses 5 valves.

It would be nice to have a dedicated block of IPv6 addresses for ham radio, but why a /16? That's 4 billion /48 networks.

I'm surprised they don't have torrent downloads for it. That would save on bandwidth costs and it's more reliable since torrent clients verify the checksum and automatically redownload any corrupted blocks.

 

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
