This is the link to a tweet on X from Elon Musk that shows an 18 second video clip of the “Cortex” data center at Gigafactory Texas. We have not seen any of the hundreds of racks of computers shown in this clip being delivered and installed st GF Texas. Therefore I stated that I

Apple’s wireless charger would burn up when charging more that two devices.
Gallium nitride power electronics will replace silicon and will make laptop power adapters smaller than a golf ball and will save major amounts of electricity. GaN devices will waste a lot less power, which will enable power electronics equipment to be made smaller and more efficient. Quote: “”GaN-based power electronics, on the other hand, could

This is an interesting article: mainly about a miniature Tuneable YIG – yttrium-iron-garnet – filter that could replace many fixed filters. Quote “”Wireless devices use different filters for different frequencies, with the effect that covering all frequencies or bands requires large numbers of filters that take up substantial space. (The typical smartphone includes upwards of

That’s hard to believe! I would just put the equipment in a sealed rack with a lot of well filtered airflow. Someone suggested Fluorinert. https://www.facebook.com/reel/464912799258554?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
Have you got a USB disk drive or flash drive that was sold at a price so low it was “too good to be true”? Steve Gibson’s Validrive will do spot checks to see if the SSD or flash drive is really what it claims to be. Fake drives are sold for cheap and the

A 5 min. YouTube video. Sam the Electric Viking said that the supercomputer is now in New York. There will be a new AI data center (being built) in Gigafactory Texas.
A long time ago when we were going to Cat5 UTP, I had a lot of these MX20Ts left over. So I made up a 15 pin plug with the negative 9VDC on pin 6 and positive on pin 13, and soldered the wires to the battery contacts. I taped the battery to the back

In the “Original Series” chapter this very interesting Wikipedia article talks about the “hearing aid computer” that used the OC-71 germanium transistors which were used in hearing aids and could go only up to 25kHz clock rate. That was quite slow – tube computers could clock at 500kHz. Later models used faster transistors and could
