Engineer takes drastic action in Premier Inn hotel room after encountering the ultimate first world problem | Portable Electrical Socket

When it comes to finding ways to power your gadgets on-the-go, there’s no shortage (so to speak) of solutions—as long as there’s some kind of USB involved. But if you want to plug in a laptop, room light, power tool, medical device, printer or other appliance, up until now you’ve been limited to the kind of big, bulky power inverters you’d only use in an emergency or when car camping.Enter the aptly named Portable Power Outlet, the world’s smallest mobile outlet. It’ll run anything with a standard plug requiring 90 watts or less of AC power—and still charges multiple mobile devices (two at a time) via USB.

In India, we use Type-C as mentioned above, for two-pin plugs, while larger devices come with a three-pin Type-D which is mostly only used on the subcontinent, or the 15A Type-M, again generally found only in the neighbourhood, and some African countries, including South Africa.

Hard drive support was a bit of a downer as the ASUS ROG STRIX X399-E only has two NVMe M.2 SSD ports. One is located towards the bottom underneath the heatsink. Another is a vertical mount option which sits just south of the  24-pin motherboard power connector. As far as I/O device support goes, the motherboard supports onboard 802.11AC WiFi , front side U.2 and front panel USB 3.1 Gen2 port.

So what do HEDT and gaming have to do with each other? Personally, I only spend about 25% of my time gaming while on the computer. Occasionally, I do render or trans code video, render 3D animations, and other CPU intensive tasks. There are plenty of users out there who want a kickass gaming machine while having the ability of crunching CPU intensive loads in the mean time. For those, HEDT makes perfect sense for a gaming machine which is the exact market ASUS is dipping into with this particular board.

And householders who buy dodgy chargers online and tacky Santa outfits have also been warned to be on high alert.

If, after all that work, you want to keep the lights on your trees until next year, Tougas-Schavone said there’s a new type of strand light on the market that has some flexibility to the wire. “Those will accommodate the tree’s growth over time so you won’t be choking the tree,’’ she said. Otherwise, make sure you unwrap trees at the end of each season, since the cords will start to cut into the layer under the bark as the tree grows. “That’s called girdling when that happens, and you can literally kill a tree,’’ Chabot said.

Drop another $4000-$5000 and Premium versions of each bring larger alloys, leather heated and ventilated power seats, power sunroof, paddle-shifters, bi-xenon headlights and wireless phone charging.

This Bionic technology should be given at a huge discount to those who lost limbs while in the Military service to our country.

ASUS UEFI BIOS has two modes, EZ Mode and Advanced Mode which can be toggled using F7. EZ Mode presents us with a ton of information such as installed devices, CPU/Memory information, Fan speeds, and temperatures. Advanced mode is where you’ll probably spend most of your time tweaking settings.

That’s why portable power packs with “jump start” capability are large, heavy, and expensive for what you get.

Redesigning a telco rack using JouleForce technology in the same datacenter volume as the CG-OpenRack-19 rack would enable clever rack designers to put four JouleForce Conductor based server modules side-by-side. They could then stack these four-module chassis 6 deep, for a total of 24 modules. Standard power supply to the rack is 27 kW, which means that 24 kW of power dissipation leaves plenty of power delivery and vertical rack space for adding network and power delivery gear to the rack. There is enough depth in the CG-OpenRack-19 specification to supply front air filters (if needed in a filtered air server room) and rear negative pressure generation. Hot-aisle heat ducting would not be needed in a temperature-controlled server room.

The manufacturers, importers and retailers were given a transition period up to two years to adapt to the new standards.
