Running GPS on a phone significantly increases the power consumption of the device. You might need one of these external batteries to get through a day (assuming you can recharge everything at night). I haven't done GPS tagging, so just to confirm your requirements, you need the phone to use...

Sweet.

The pros don't do this kind of thing, as there is no practical or commercial application. There are very few more powerful LEDs, you are quickly approaching scanning laser levels of power. The current most powerful light is the one on top of the Luxor in Vegas, and they use 39x 7kW Xenon bulbs...

This is what I'm looking at for my new system, only skipping the inverter step if possible for efficiency reasons. We have access to lots of cheap porta-potties mounted to pallet skids. I'll probably gut one, install some shelves, stick the batteries on the shelves, and bolt the charge...

The video is from LinusTechTips, and they are based in Vancouver. And the purchase wasn't specifically for the test; just a coincidence of timing. Doing lots of proxy Christmas shopping this time of year.

Just completed another $5k sale after following the link to get to Amazon. Hope that works.

So I would need to take a product link that looks like this: http://amzn.com/B00NRHNPUA and make it look like this? http://amzn.com/B00NRHNPUA&tag=storageforum-20 ??

I can pump 48v into this and power PoE devices. This switch runs off PoE. This should let me pull 48v out of the PoE to power non-PoE devices that can take 48v (like IR illuminators)

Just placed an order after following the link on a computer with ghostery paused. No idea if you are able to monitor it that closely?

I've tried and failed as well. I am far from a Linux expert, and the docs made assumptions of prior knowledge that I fell short of.

One of my upcoming designs is built around everything on the system being 48v PoE and being driven directly by a 48v battery bank that is charged directly by a 48v solar charge controller fed by panels. This should eliminate most of the efficiency losses and allow the system to scale much more...

Totally in. I'd redirect ~$5k/mo through the link. No idea how much income that would generate.

I'm actually really excited by the scalability of this project. I have some friends with more disposable income and a slowly blooming geek streak that might like one 5x to 10x the size.

CamScanner is great. I already use it for some other work-related tasks. As strange as it may seem one of the appeals is to use a different program so the images are automatically stored in their own location.

Awesome. I've shared this project with a few IRL friends (OK, I only have a couple IRL friends...) and not one asked "why?". This is why they are my friends.

I was performing some tests on a very high capacity UPS for low loads (couple hundred watts) over a long period of time. Specifically an APC SMX2200RMLV2U with 5x APC SMX48RMBP2U battery pack additions. The power consumption of the unit itself (control circuitry, fan, etc) was much higher than...

Anyone with a G4 who wants a car mount that supports the folio case and built-in wireless charging, let me know and I'll send you the solidworks file.

This and a simple receipt app are both on my list.

Thanks! Still trying to get the dual 290X system back up...

I feel more comfortable hard-mounting hardcases to the sides of heatsinks. I'll probably use brackets of some kind. When it is on a vehicle or other machine I can draw power from them. When it is handheld I'll need another power source. I'd be running at least 4-6 of them, possibly more...

Yup. I think the price was $1996.50.

For mobile applications, I'll likely power it with a bank of these. Not sure what the power distribution will look like, worst case I run a few off each battery and run them completely independently.

This. One of our software vendors was facing a huge backlash for using Oracle, and has eaten high costs converting their product back to MSSQL. For reference, I can buy the entire MSSQL package and the backup program for the cost of one year's maintenance for the Oracle install that does the...

In pursuit of more low end in headphone use, I'm looking at the HE400i (possibly 560?). I have no experience with planar magnetic units, and understand that I'll also need an amp to power them? Pretty sure I'd benefit from closed-back units as well.

I'm still suggesting TrueCrypt to clients. Interesting security step one of them added was to hard mount the UPS so that the tower would have to lose power when stolen. Theoretically they could hang out in the office, but the alarm and guard would discourage that.

Oracle did it a long time ago. I'm sure MSSQL will be doing the same if they haven't already. As your product gets more capable (and therefore used in larger systems), you need a way to price descriminate and extract more from those customers who are getting more from your product. With modern...

I think commisioning such a thing at all is pretty wild and crazy. I have my pilot friend checking with the FAA for restrictions on either pointing it towards the sky or operating it from an aircraft.

Just took delivery of one of these 65" 4k Samsung units. I'll install it Monday night and have a review a bit later.

How lightfield cameras work.

I'm running about 30x 24" Ultrasharps, 2x 27", 2x 30", and 1x 32". Average age 3 years. No failures yet, but the 32" 4k isn't behaving as it should.

"Need" is never a requirement. I was actually surprised how intensive MadVR was; I can't run a 720p video while playing Fallout 4 @ 4k with everything maxed.

Thanks for the link to that thread, sounds like no upgrades yet and a sub-par panel. I'll have to pass.

Just ran into this 5 minutes ago. Confirmed with latest Firefox on Android.

What are you using and how are you judging the results? Did you identify something you didn't like and pursue a fix? Are you trying a bunch of stuff and seeing if you prefer something else? Working from settings listed by others?

I'm marking some of that up to early adopter stuff...that was pretty early in the whole 4k thing. I'd rather it be made by Dell, HP, Samsung, ASUS, or just about anyone else and would happily pay a premium. But I don't see them in that space.

Yup.

Pointing it towards the sky is actually something I'm considering for particular events, but that will involve permits and permission from the FAA along with coordination of local law enforcement. I just finished a weekend of parades where I had heavy construction equipment lit with tens of...

Tempting: http://amzn.com/B00RVGXZ08

Looks like I pulled the trigger on 4k just a bit early, my first 4k monitor (Dell UP3214Q) has a well documented issue with 4k@60 via DP1.2. My Acer B326HK units are working fine. Shopping for a replacement for the Dell. 4k IPS is critical, at least 32" (34"-36" ideal), at least 60Hz.

So. Questions? Comments? Anyone else interested?

Based on the discussion in the LED thread, I sent JTR a message. Here is how it has gone so far:

This. Even there she sleeps with the window open. At the moment there is several feet of snow on the ground there. Here it has gotten to the upper-30s (F) at night lately.

They've already ramped up their fulfillment staff (hired 500k additional temp workers), but buying has been below projections. This leads them to ship very quickly if a bit inefficiently.

These helped me considerably. My camera takes one SD and one CF and I splashed out on one very fast of each. If I manage to fill them I can go to the slower cards (unlikely, they are 128GB each).

My house is smallish and well insulated. However my wife and mother-in-law both have rather extreme preferences. My wife wants 73-75F at all times. Even a well insulated house can get costly managing that large a dT. Turning down the temp in the main room (which has a wall of french doors) would...

When I installed my home HVAC, I did so planning to upgrade to a zoned system at some point. The price would have been about $6k. Ecovent. Thoughts?

I can understand with the penguins, but you won't be driving your car there...

Yup. Exact same experience here.

I thought you lived in a warmer area? I don't own any gloves.
