I sell various 12V cables for the Starlink Mini

They’re almost universally returned

If it were me I’d just bite the bullet and make it a 48V only device to simplify things

Current arrangement is just a headache for non-technical consumers

I’m agnostic to the connector but really frustrated with consumers expecting any old 12-24 volt source will work

How long are the 12V cables?

I run my Mini on my truck at LFP voltage and it does fine at about 10 feet. Before I cut and shortened the provided Mini power cable, I tried it at full length, and the voltage drop was too much.

~14 AWG Adaptors run less than a foot, would be nv or mv voltage drop range

Main point though was the PSU requirements should be specific enough that consumers are forced to use proper PSUs (or at least research into how to properly adapt to their system), not just whatever they have on hand

I think it would depend on the nature of the specific task

My three Sony Bravias from 2010 are still going well - LCD 1080p, no screen wear at all (a later Sony I bought ~2017 has already worn to buggery)

Not sure if there’s even a used market for older TVs, though

Reminds me of the Dufour map of Switzerland

I still think it's by far the greatest map I've come across throughout history: given both the limitations of the time period and the painstakingly consistent hachuring. It's just immaculate

I really miss checking model assumptions…

Also our most successful rugby league team’s name was given as a derogatory put down: “Rabbitoh”, which was seen as a poor sales person flogging rabbit meat for money

South Sydney being a poor area, yielded the South Sydney Rabbitohs

Anecdotal but my partner had her gallbladder out a few months ago (started to affect her pancreas —- was a bit worrying for the doctors)

The doctors said gallstone formation can occur with rapid weight loss

She was (and still is) on a GLP-1

No symptoms post gallbladder removal

I think we need to keep in mind that medical and pharmacy mistakes are still extremely common

Recently my partner received a prescription with instructions that were over the LD50 (we caught it as it was obviously too high). We reported it but it was likely the case of the clerk simply hitting the wrong button and not double checking the resulting sticker

I’d be interested to see the AI transcription failure rate compared with existing medical/pharmacy rates

The pharmacist should have caught this. This is the reason doctors don't give drugs themselves and pharmacy is a completely separate, trained profession. Multiple things have to go wrong for you to get the wrong drugs. If that happened then something is very wrong with your pharmacy.

EHRs and other electronic prescription applications pretty much all have automated alerts for inappropriate dosages (like mg versus mcg) as well as allergies and harmful drug-drug interactions. The prescribing clinician likely had to dismiss at least one alert in making that error.

"preventable medical errors" kill between 270,000 - 400,000 Americans every year.

It was listed on this wikipedia page until July 11, 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preventable_causes_of_death

I know because I frequently cited it in arguments with citizen disarmament advocates before it was edited out.

TSMC US federal plant funding was under Biden not Trump (CHIPS act)

Trump did do the initial deal though, but TSMC had to cough the money up for that

TSMC wouldn’t put tens of billons of dollars in irreversible investment just to virtue signal, the scale is too large

You can’t “undo” a fab

I assume they mean same t/sec as a SOTA cloud model
