GPU is typically undervolted but the VRAM is usually overclocked pretty aggressively
Right, but the undervolting prevents physical damage during the overclock, and instead all you deal with is instability, whereas on previous generations you would both overvolt and overclock which is what would cook the vram.
I can't claim to know a ton about it, but from what I read the 3080 and 3090 with GDDR6x vram would get up into the 110c temps for some miners. That seems dangerous if sustained 24/7. I'm not saying it IS damaged if it was a mining card, but that the VRAM would be the most likely spot if the card were damaged from mining
That specific Vram can and does run much hotter than other Vram and the cores. Most people aren't used to watching vram temps and typically assumed the temps should be equivalent so when they started seeing anything with gddr6x reaching 105-110c there was an initial freakout in a lot of mining communities before they realized they didn't need to keep it under 95c like the cores. I still see people giving that advice out today. Purely anecdotal, but I have a 3070ti with gddr6x that mined for almost a year with vram at 105-110c the entire time, and it's now in another PC gaming away happily.

I’ve heard of two methods being proposed to capture the energy.
The first is as you described use the heat to boil water to generate steam.
Recently I heard of a second to capture energy from the plasma itself within the reactor. I’m not certain on specifics but there seemed to be a way to induce a current in the plasma that we could then siphon off.
In reality it will likely be a combination of methods used to extract as much energy, deuterium, tritium, and helium as possible.
Why those? Well we need helium and the other two are vital for the continuation of the reactor and to be able to bring new ones online.
I can't recall the specifics, but I remember reading a writeup that demonstrated that the amount of helium produced would be orders or magnitude less than what would be worth collecting.
That’s largely because current reactors don’t include many generation plates. Since they are in theoretical stages and are not running for long periods they usually included just one or two as a proof of concept.
Once scaled up running continuously alongside more plates we’d likely see more generated. Whether it’s enough to warrant collecting, idk at this time. However in theory it could at least help provide a source even if it’s not much.
This was quite a while ago that it was discussed here on Reddit, and I'm still trying to find it now, BUT the data that was presented was essentially best case scenario calculating based purely off the fusable material (? I can't remember the term they used). We would be forced to generate around 10000 times more energy than the earth currently consumes just to meet the US helium demands. And that's not taking into account the immense amount of helium we'd lose by also using it to cool the superconducting coils used in the fusion process.
No, the 6639 button has a different function.
pressing it will enable the light for 6 hours, then disable for 6, enable for 3, disable for 9 hours. it is meant to be pressed in the afternoon (e.g. 5pm), then the light will stay on until 11pm, come back on at 5am, go out again at 8am, and repeat the cycle at 5pm the next day.
also, the 8h and 6h buttons will repeat every 24h, too.
edit: why tf do i get 13k karma on a post about a chinese remote
edit2: 40k! and a bunch of awards! even gold! that is enough, thank you strangers!
6639 hours is 276 days. I choose to believe this is the snooze until next season button and there's nothing you can do to convince me otherwise.
Did... did you mean menace to society?
Don't correct him. I like this better.
I’m not even going to go back and forth with this when it’s objectively just not true. There’s been several instances of me looting each floor of several buildings and not finding one, running to the closest buy station that doesn’t have one because it’s randomized, and then coming across another player that kills me because I didn’t luck out and find a 3 plate but they did.
It's not uncommon for me to leave a few behind during a match. And all buy stations have them in every match. If you start from scratch, just loot somewhere nearby that has a lot of lockers to get a 2-plate and bag, then you can just do a destroy supply mission and pop the safes afterwards. That should get you more than enough cash to buy one. If you're short on time, exfil and then come back in already having your good gear and a full timer.
It’s inevitable that you will find one, but in the beginning when you first land a gunfight shouldn’t be determined by who has a 3 plate. It’s also not true that they’re in every buy station.
Yes, they are always in every buy station. Always. I'm not great, but I've wiped squads while wearing a 1-plate. And I've been killed while wearing a 3-plate by someone wearing a 1-plate. I think you might need to reevaluate how you're playing the game.
An extra gun surprisingly, you won’t believe the amount of times I’ve seen a gun break in a milsim
For real. Would have missed a lot of dates or had to leave early many times if it wasn't for my backups.
Fact. Ran out of water during an op, went to go back to the car for more, got dehydrated to the point of vomiting on the way there since it was such a long walk. I had to sit out the rest of the game with severe muscle cramps while chugging water. My very next purchase was a 2 litre hydration pack, and I dont play without it.
Realistically, if you got that dehydrated on the day of, your hydration levels were probably an issue before even getting there. You gotta start hydrating the day beforehand.
Actually it won't. Earth will have lost enough orbital energy before the sun swells up. So earth will end by crashing into the sun before the sun consumes earth.
I'm not sure that's the case. The earth is actually moving away from the sun at about 1.5cm per year, due to mass loss of the sun, and that's supposed to continue until the sun becomes a red giant, after which, if it isn't consumed, that is when it could start spiralling in.
