The idea is to have an 8-channel power amplifier in one box ...
I still have to source the right trafo, but one large one would be both lighter and cheaper (new) than, say 4 small ones. An argument to use multiple would potentially be that peaks on individual channels might have less impact on the other channels. Still working on it ...
Well, it says to use a toroidal transformer between 12V to 32V output, and looking at pictures of other people who bought it, it seems to work on AC directly, so I have high confidence that that's what it is.
Hmm they are rated for 12V to 32V, and the seller recommends using a toroidal transformer to achieve the symmetric power it needs.
Yes, and not just that ... like, making sure to keep the cursor away from the images all the time because hovering over an image immediately plays some trailer including audio.
Generally, playing media elements without explicit triggers by the user is annoying, but this is the worst.
Like, who thought this was a good idea?
Hehe, not just South American, it's pretty common in Spain, with a variety of spirits ... I've seen people using Cognac, Anise ... all kinds really, some more controversial than others.
They only work with the windows closed, unfortunately ... which, depending where you live, means you'd also need AC, which might spike up your electricity bill, etc ...
That only works if everyone does it ... I don't use wood fires or coal BBQs and don't own a car, but all my neighbors do :(
Wow, I always thought Barcelona (where I live) was much worse, turns out it's just a bit worse ... clocking in at 17μg right now ... sometimes up to 40, esp. in the Summer.
In die Falle tappe ich öfters, wenn ich in Deutschland zu Besuch bin.
Wohne in Spanien, hier gibt's keine EC-Karte (scheint ja eine rein deutsche Erfindung zu sein), Debitkarte ist der Standard, mit dem man selbst 'n Kaffee für einsfuffzig bezahlt, und die so gut wie überall genommen wird. Hab fast nie Bargeld dabei.
Wenn man dann in DE ist und sagt "mit Karte bitte", klappt's auf einmal nicht weil nur EC-Karten akzeptiert werden. Irgendwie nervig.
That's not mutually exclusive with the author's argument, though.
if a computer vendor offers multiple distributions to choose from, the problem of choice remains.
And if the vendor only offers one option, which one should it be? And how can a user verify that it's a "good" option?
As some people have pointed out, it protects the liver, but from personal experience, I can't confirm the "not getting drunk" part ... so I'd be really cautious about blanket statements as the one in the title of this post.
