  1. If it has a 90Kw battery, it has a 90kw battery and tesla is in the wrong for crippling it PERIOD!!
  2. Demand was low because it cost too much. Hope they do better with Ultraram when/if they bring it to market.
  3. I only use it for texting because my celphone is a basic flip phone mainly for emergancies. We have 2 land lines.
  4. They'll switch to just "OS" and try to copy write that name like they tried to copy write the word "windows".
  5. Thank you. I was looking in settings, in startup and other places one would expect the option to be.
  6. Did a restart that was suposed to be something about updating .net and now I have a new icon in the tray with weather and a bunch of other crap when mousing over it and no clear way to get rid of it. If I try to go into it's settings, typical ms crap is hard coded to their browser instead of the one I set as default.
  7. These guys are working on a 6 axis controller. https://www.sublightdynamics.com/
  8. Given how widely used windows is now, it is a critical software and the feds should start fining MS harshly every time they do this. hitting them in the bank account harshly is the only thing that will put a stop to this. Big corps only care about money and MS really has a monopoly with no reason to make sure they don't screw up peoples computers.
  9. When an update comes in, I get a message in the tray saying that windows will reboot outside normal hours to finish installing updates. Meaning, ether you restart now to update, or it will do it latter tonight. If that's not forced, what is?
  10. It's gone from the location it belongs and I was told it was removed. Was talked about in another thread on these forums.
  11. Not that we have much choice. I paid extra for the "pro" version mainly for the rolling update delay option which they then removed. Now you have to keep manually going in and bumping up the delay.
  12. They need to put the anti-mining code in the card firmware quietly so miners just think the cards are crap from mining. But to make that work, they would have needed to do that with all 30xx cards from day one.
  13. Something to note about caps is they have both a voltage and temperature rating. And while you might not see 85c temps in your case, if the cap is being used in a switch mode power supply or otherwise being exposed to high frequencies, it will have high internal temps. They get cooked from the inside. Having work in consumer electronic repair, I can say it is very common to use standard temp range caps in high frequency designs when extended range caps should be used. The result is bad/bulging or leaking caps. They may even look ok and test ok on a basic fluke. but need to be tested at the frequencies they are used at. I also have seen countless boards where caps rated for 6v are used on a 5v line. That is not enough head room. And over time they will die. These factors will shorten the life a cap. Then there is the quality of the cap. A well made cap in a proper design for it's specs will last a very long time. But a cheap cap will dry out faster no matter how will the circuit is designed. Oh, and when I say high frequency, I'm not talking about the Ghz you see in a modern computer, Even 100Khz can cook a cap.
