In addition to WBR1's comments there is sometimes compatibility issues between windows store games and games bought elsewhere. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare doesn't allow windows store players to play on steam players games. I have not idea why, but that is the case.
So you have a fraction of the online community which that game is basically all about.
Normally a fully charged LIPO cell is 4.8v and a fully used lipo cell is at 3.3v. The charging circuit inside the phone will have somewhere a variable set to 4.8v as max cell voltage and that will be where it stops charging the battery. It should be pretty trivial to change that to 3.3v and hence the phone will no longer charge the battery.
You can't dumb charge lipos. If you keep shoving amps into them they will overcharge and go pop. So even if the phone is powered down when plugged into a power source the charging controller would have to be active.
I am aware of the CDC, but I guess my surprise just moves to a different area. As in if there is a federal requirement for these diseases to be notified, why doesn't the states have full access to that information?
I live in a federation made up of separate states as well. Each state has its own government and there is continual stress between the State and the Federal govt regarding authority. Health is funded at the state level for example. But the reporting of these types of diseases is mandated at a federal level and then the data shared with the states. Some of the states have additional reporting requirements as well when there is a particular state prevalent disease or there is a feeling that the feds were ignoring something.
For me it is actually battery life. I can carry a charged spare battery in my pocket and when my phone dies I just swap it in and go. Sure I could carry a battery pack but they are larger and you need a cable running to your phone.
What I was getting at was that there was an objection to my use of the term superbug and the term "other nasties" in a common speech setting. I'm not proposing the legislative wording. I got annoyed at the pretentiousness of the comment that implied that by using common parlance in an internet forum I was somehow implying that that common parlance should be used in the legislation or that I am unable to comprehend the implications of legislation.
I then decided to use the list of reportable diseases that are used in my local area. I was aware that MRSA was not on that list, which surprised me honestly, but it was in particular directed at the "Other Nasties - came out of you ass" comment. I have since learned that MRSA is covered in Australia by a separate reporting system as it is not possible for anything other than a lab to identify its existence.
My original comment was to express surprise that a common reporting mechanism for infectious diseases was not in place at a federal level in the US. Apparently however my use of the term "superbug & other nasties", the first of which was in the original article and the second, to me, a very common catch all type term, seems to have confused some as to the purpose of my original comment.
Are you saying that is it necessary to have taken a bacteriology course in order to express surprise at that?
How about fuck off with your comprehension fail. I never once proposed legislative wording, but referred to an informal communication method on a general forum.
MRSA the primary "super"bug is usually identified in the lab. A culture is taken and it is then grown. That culture is then exposed to various antibiotics and its sensitivity to those drugs is then reported back to the treating physician.
In some cases a bacterial infection is so severe or fast moving that this process takes too long. But it can usually be done within 24 hours. Unfortunately I am personally familiar with the process as my daughter gets urinary tract infections that move to her kidneys. Most of them are treatable with cephalixin but once every 2 years or so she will get one that has to be treated with IV anti-biotics. Everytime she gets an infection we get the read on it's sensitivity the next day.
In Australia when an MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is detected in the lab a central body is notified and a living sample is sent to them for further analysis.
Sigh, seriously is it necessary to use muti-drug resistant strain when common parlance is superbug? Would you have preferred that I listed the medical names or each and everything thing that should have mandatory reporting associated with it? As for proving it's presence I'm sorry but that is just bullshit. One of the good things about MRSA is that it is easily detectable. It doesn't need to be the case of it being the deciding cause of death. It is enough if it is even present.
Here perhaps this will help you. This is what other countries have managed to agree upon as a notification regime.
Group A - Immediate Notification - Anthrax Botulism Chikungunya virus infection Cholera Diphtheria Food or water borne illness (2 or more related cases) Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) Haemophilus influenzae type b infection (Hib) (epiglottitis, meningitis and other invasive infections) Hepatitis A Japanese encephalitis Legionellosis Measles Meningococcal infection (invasive) Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS CoV) Murray Valley encephalitis virus Paratyphoid Plague Poliovirus infection Rabies Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) Smallpox Tularaemia Typhoid Viral haemorrhagic fevers Yellow fever
Group B - 5 days in writing - Arbovirus infection – other Barmah Forest virus infection Brucellosis Campylobacteriosis Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (classical/ variant) Cryptosporidiosis Dengue virus infection Hepatitis B (newly acquired/ unspecified) Hepatitis C (newly acquired/ unspecified) Hepatitis D Hepatitis E
Hepatitis viral (not further specified) Influenza (laboratory confirmed) (types A and B) Kunjin virus infection Lead (blood lead > 5 g/dL) Leprosy Leptospirosis Listeriosis Lyssavirus (incl. Australian bat lyssavirus) Malaria Mumps Mycobacterium ulcerans Pertussis Pneumococcal infection (invasive) Psittacosis (ornithosis) Q fever Ross River virus infection Rubella (incl. congenital rubella syndrome) Salmonellosis Shigatoxin and verotoxin producing Esherichia coli (STEC/VTEC) Shigellosis Tetanus Tuberculosis (pulmonary/ extrapulmonary) Varicella (chickenpox/herpes zoster [shingles])
How? The batteries will be charged via the charging circuit in the phone and the phone will charge them until they reach full charge. Which is probably 4.8v per cell used (I don't know the exact cell arrangement of these batts). It doesn't really matter if the battery is a larger or smaller capacity. It will just take more/less time to charge.
The only potential compatibility issue would be around the connectors, which I suspect is an easy fix.
Possibly. But I would have to assume they had their full compliment of engineers working on the problem at the time. And it seems strange that they wouldn't have picked up on something as simple as battery expansion.
Also I'm not sold on the batteries being that fragile or the frame of the note being that strong it didn't move enough. There definitely was a problem with the battery system. However I suspect it has more to do with the charging system than anything else. Potentially trying to pump too high a current in caused failures.
I doubt you would have seen that level of change. Dropping 200mah would have shrunk the battery considerably. Also I suspect that that would have had a way smaller impact on brand then scrapping them completely did
If this was the case then a slightly physically smaller battery would have solved the problem. They could have achieved this quite easily, even if it meant sacrificing capacity. And given they started by recalling the phones and replacing the batteries but there were still problems I would suggest they are wrong.
Interesting view point but a long way away from the rest of the world. Potentially yours is a more common viewpoint in the US but at least in Aus there are many many many clauses which are not permitted when dealing with joe public individual. These rules are not in place when it is a business to business contract though.
Most laws like this don't apply to corporations / businesses as customers. I don't see any reason Joe Sixpack couldn't post a benchmark or a review. But I doubt that the protection extends to business to business contracts which I would assume is basically 100% of oracles market.
I can't find it now. But I did find the numbers that listed the maximum amount of power that Japan could produce using wind, both onshore and offshore. Even at 100% build out the generation levels were below the required power figures.
Yeah 100 automation is not going to happen anytime soon. Mine sites are to hostile an environment and even if the actual mining tasks can be automated the machines themselves need continuous work.
I work a lot with the coal mines in Queensland and a workforce of around 400 is common.
Oh and I use 12awg from the batteries and 16 from the PDB to the ESCs and 18 for the ESC to the motors. Average wire length though is very very short with the longest being the main battery lead at about 40mm.
I also run 4 cell batteries giving me 16.8v on a fully charged battery. You do see 5 & 6 cell batteries but rarely at racing comps, more at drone top speed comps.
No that is max throttle draw. My freestyle quad will burst pull 100 amp at full throttle, 4 x emax 2205 2300kv motors. They will generate a combined thrust of about 4.8kg on a quad that weighs in at about 520g including battery.
On a 1300mah battery I get about 2.5 to 3 minutes before the battery is empty.
My racing quad though will pull 120 amp+ at full throttle (I don't know exactly as that is the peak of the current sensor I use). I get under 2 minutes on a 1300mah battery in a race. It produces just under 6kg of thrust at full throttle and weighs in at 440g inc battery.
Electric powered toys will be a huge winner if you can have half decent capacity and a high discharge. Common racing style quad copters will happily draw 130amp and could easily draw more. The limiting factor is definitely the batteries. You draw 100amp from a 1300mah battery and the batteries don't last long.....
Current battery tech for quadcopters gives you batteries that are large and heavy for any given capacity. That is the only way to be able to draw the current.
As an observation I don't associate "Made in the USA" with quality for anything except tools, and that is more brand specific than the made in the usa part. Certainly for cars its a huge minus when I'm looking at them.
I associate country wide build quality with Germany and Japan. I have negative quality connotations associated with China and India, though both of those are losing that fast. Most of the rest of the world doesn't really get a thought.

Sorry yes 4.2 volts. Brain was tired.

Pretty sure the cultures are needed to determine resistance / sensitivity to drugs. PCR detects SA in general.

I mean seriously? Do you not have a mandated system of reporting super bugs, infectious disease breakouts, and other nasties?

I work a lot with the coal mines in Queensland and a workforce of around 400 is common.
Except for all the BHP and Rio Tinto mines that are highly automated. With their self driving trucks and trains and loaders.
Have a look at the Iron Ore mines that exist in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Automation everywhere.
