Evaporative coolers save a ton of energy compared to refrigerator cycle closed loop systems. Like a swamp cooler, the hot liquid that comes from cooling the server is exposed to the atmosphere and enough evaporates off to cool the liquid by a decent percentage, then it's refrigerated before going back into the servers.

Data centre near me is using it and the fire service is used to be being called by people concerned the huge clouds of water vapor are smoke

If it's all the same driver board, they save on complexity of having different parts. I hate it but it's true. Samsung gaming monitors now have to keep track of a remote to change settings.

At risk of un open sourcing their code, taking their ball and going home

It can be successful with Musk. Would love to see it separated from him

There's the explore tab in the mastodon app that shows you trending hashtags, and recommends people to follow based off who you already follow. There's trending accounts that just post about trending items too. Use them as your algorithm.

Will be interesting if they need the same thermal management that lithium packs do. That adds a fair amount of weight to the system

Yes this is on their Odyssey line of gaming monitors. Their curved ultra wide is great in the office once you get through the menus

Samsung monitors now include all the smart TV crap and need a remote to set them up

I've got a Ts80p which is a qc3 usbc soldering iron for that. It's crazy powerful for it's size and runs off a pretty small anker powerbank. You could slide that into your sleeve to go portable and one handed

You'd want more than one cell. You'd be pulling 23amps from a 4.2v 18650 to give the same 100w at 20v power as you get from a top usbpd power supply.

There are 18650s that do 30 amps for short bursts, but it would get as hot as the iron and be empty in 5 min

Ts80 that runs on qc3 is also very good. It keeps up with my large soldering station in real world use

Denser takes a more powerful gpu and higher data rates to drive more pixels.
