Using the electricity to heat whatever liquid they are using isn't terribly efficient.
Using electricity to heat is 100% efficient. Heat transfer from the cable to the water jacket is a different question, but still incredibly efficient. I'm not sure you actually understand what it is that is being done here.
Not only is it proper business sense (if you can afford to just scrap a half way done game of course) but it's showing proper respect for your fan base.
I don't understand. Why not just say it's the greatest game ever and publish it. - Todd Howard.
Obviously, newer process equipment would have built-in, and almost certainly hard-wired, sensors throughout, It's relatively cheap at build time.
Actually that's not at all obvious. During any project, cost optimisation usually throws out anything that could be used for condition based monitoring or fine process optimisation first (for non critical equipment that is), and that is precisely where this comes in. Incidents don't typically happen on critical equipment, they happen on the unmonitored forgotten stuff. They happen on that small crappy handvalve that is slightly open and cavitating. They happen on that really cheap and non critical pump which hasn't got any seal oil monitoring. They happen on that elbow joint which doesn't have ultrasonic thickness monitoring on it because someone through it wasn't susceptible to a certain form of corrosion.
Fortunately beer production is unlikely to kill many people if it goes wrong:-)
I mean this is a currently in development product by one of the largest and most common process control equipment manufacturers in the world. We've been trialing this with Emerson for 2 years already. It's quite a solid theory too: Build a signature of what your plant sound likes, detect changes to that signature and use wireless devices to triangulate.
I didn't realise that this has as much impact at a brewery but in hazardous industries the theory is solid: We've spent the past 20 years reducing the number of people in the plant so when things bang there are less injuries, but at the same time there's less ears in the plant able to detect a potential precursor to said bang.
I'm new here and I haven't seen any stories about Valve or Vulkan. How would I know?
You wouldn't. But then if you were actually new here maybe not understanding the references to something often talked about in a forum of your interest is a good indication that this site just may not be for you.
I did a search beside the Wine 4.0 the previous direct discussion of Vulkan was about a year ago.
You mean 2 days ago? We've only had 3 stories in the past year with Vulkan in the title let alone being mentioned in TFS so I can understand how you may have missed it./sarcasm. To say nothing of the 20 or so articles about Vulkan 3 years ago when it was released.
We are talking about Intel the Chip Maker
We are talking about "overlays" and "HUDs". How a chip maker confused the issue for you is baffling to me.
It would be like a story "Apple give a major upgrade to emacs"
No it wouldn't because there would be ambiguity. There is no ambiguity for Vulkan. The only other reference to it has zero to do with technology. Interestingly you got the Valve reference alright (software company), despite it's ambiguity. Why do you think that is?
The only thing that needs to be defined here is what the hell Gallium3D is, not the major 3D API discussed over and over again in the past.
Thanks for demonstrating an extreme edge case where keyboards are well over represented. I'm sure the 99.99% of computer users who are not writing books but instead spend their day switching tasks, contexts, and multi-tasking have taken your comment to heart.
Apple cannot seem to figure out what business it's in.
No. Apple definitely knows what business it's in. Its in the business of defining new products in new markets. As they jump between IT, portable audio, phones and personal organisers, mapping, home entertainment, they are doing so under the knowledge that each of the markets they enter easily saturate and they either need to vertically integrate and / or find another market to continue their obsession with endless growth.
The are illegal in most of the world. Good luck getting a Korean company to successfully enforce a Korean contract on an American company on the other side of the world.
You'll probably find most non-compete agreements (if you have them) are completely unenforceable too if you left the country.
I wonder if Apple will develop its own battery format
Define "format". Apple's batteries are unique to Apple made to specification from a 3rd party. If you're talking about a different chemistry then good luck to them.
Vulkan the god of volcanos, Gallium a medal with a low melting point, and Valve often to use to control the flow of liquids.
Maybe Slashdot is the wrong forum for you. May I suggest you read a site like Slashdot where talks of Valve and Vulkan are quite common? You can visit the site using a computer, which is a large device consisting usually of a monitor, mouse, keyboard and some electronics which are often used for browsing the internet. And I'm sure I don't need to tell you the Internet just a bunch of tubes.
Their actions are to tell you something. What basis do you then have for trustworthy? Remember that people's pre-concieved biases will then determine trustworthiness based on what ever you already believe to be true.
I would LOVE to have a powerful, generic (and upgradable) processor/storage/radio package in my pocket, knapsack or attached to my belt or armband, with my own choice of wireless input/output devices.
The market spoke and thoroughly rejected that concept. While they continue to repeatedly fail to get any interest aside from a few nerds you won't be getting one.
And my processor/storage module could plug into a desktop-sized workstation when I'm not on-the-go.
The Swedish women asked for only one thing - that he's not prosecuted for rape.
The great thing about past tense is it is always right when discussing something which changes.
"The Swedish women asked for only one thing - that he's IS prosecuted for rape." is a true statement as well considering they were instrumental in initiating the rape charge.
Everyone on Slashdot has assured me repeatedly over the years that neither the UK nor Sweden has any intention of ever extraditing him to the U.S.
For many years the USA didn't have any intention of building a wall on a Mexican border either, nor cause a trade shitstorm with every country in the world. People's assurances didn't change. At the time the USA showed precisely zero intention to extradite anyone.
Yes I do. You missed my point. People don't give a crap who flows money where or privacy matters. Functionality reigns supreme.
Why presume that Google won't pressure Mozilla to do make the same change or risk losing that funding?
Why not presume they won't? What kind of vendor lock in do you have? Are you signing a contractual obligation to use Firefox? I'm not. It currently works. If it continues to work good, if not, well I'll move somewhere else.
Right now I'm also posting this from Chrome while it's not showing ads. I won't be making any move until I need to.
Absolutely! I'm just calling out radium as an incorrect example. I'd be more looking to how health regulations limit what can and can't be done with food, and while the USA is not strong at it, the rest of the world has fought a battle with producers to stop jacking up their animals with growth hormones to make an extra buck.
I have plenty of Chesky's recordings. Mostly Jazz. Few of them have the average level at -30dB. I'm check on the White Stripes on the weekend though, I find that very questionable. Stay tuned:)
Classical I would agree. But for any other genre, especially modern music you won't find that much headroom in a recording of modern music, even those remasters audiophile companies.
Are but did they? Old versions of Photoshop work just fine on Windows 10, even with the latest updates installed.
Look you can defend Apple for a lot of reasons, but certainly not for listening to their original core customers who have seen the platform become increasingly irrelevant. Shit man 15 years ago if you saw a PC in a photostudio it was a good sign that you should just turn and walk away as the person clearly didn't know what they were doing.
Not so anymore, especially after Apple's update fiasco meant several versions of photoshop were not delivered in 64bit form to Mac users at a time when 64bit was already quite relevant in the photography world.

Vibration monitoring is hardly new.
Who said anything about vibration?

It could've even just been a fun quick question to ask.
It could have been. Given the benefit of doubt it could have been. Actions however go a great way to reduce doubt.
He does that anyway but how many damn hit pieces do you need for one person?
Depends, do you have an estimate for how many more times he will say something to embarrass the nation for electing him?
Trustworthiness should be evident in your actions
Their actions are to tell you something. What basis do you then have for trustworthy? Remember that people's pre-concieved biases will then determine trustworthiness based on what ever you already believe to be true.
And yet they're still far more truthful than CNN.
You keep telling yourself that. #MAGA!

This however is something that at least one big company continues to push: https://www.samsung.com/global...
Zero also happens to be the amount of f***s they give about technical users as opposed to mass consumers who gobble this crap up.

To walk through US jurisdiction knowing you're wanted?
Wow... A foreign sovereign nation is a US jurisdiction. Your comment really takes the cake.
