Thinking of buying Hard Disc storage - potential price increases/shortages
It depends what you're storing and how you use it. For example, if you're storing media then you don't need multiple simultaneous writes, you are typically just writing one file at a time. A far more elegant solution is to run UNRAID instead of RAID6, the electric cost savings are huge. With one or two parity drives and in my PC I have 20 data drives as well as 2 parity drives. I can handle any 2 simultaneous disk crashes without losing data and with 3 crashes I lose data on 1, 2,or 3 drives only. Furthermore there are never more than 3 drives spun up together when writing and only one drive when reading, disks spin down when not being used. UNRAID makes all 20 data drives appear as one large disk but each disk has a file system on it. The Antec 1200 case will allow 20 drives to be stored using 5in3 hot swappable drive caddies. I have 3 UNRAID systems in Antec 1200 cases.

We don't know the history of the vehicle, you may be right, you may not be right.

AVR and a/c
Typically, the AVR will correct the voltage drop and draw more current across the wires to the house. There is a point at which it can no longer correct the voltage, on my LiOA unit it's 150v. Drawing more current across the wires to the house also decreases the voltage. The wires from the meter are almost always big enough. Generally, the whole process is transparent and since the PEA meter measures power used (Voltage x Current) it makes little difference if your cable from the meter is big enough. Having an AVR is detrimental to your neighbours when the voltage drops because you continue drawing full power. A lot of electronics with switching power supplies (computers, inverter A/C and refrigerators) also act as an AVR and they draw more current when the voltage drops to compensate. If the voltage drops too much then they usually blow a fuse or blow up.

Does that mean you'll be buying an EV?

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Sorry but I would need a synopsis, I am not watching 1 hour 40 minutes.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
M3 Performance is looking better, but I would order in black and wrap or repaint and I'd have the wheels to a repair shop and skimmed/refinished to chrome on the rim/raised section. And remove any badges.

The reality
Acceleration is not their only trick, there is handling, braking, reliability, total cost of ownership, reduced fuel & maintenance cost, increased driver satisfaction, do you need more? The issue is not just availability of fuel, it's cost of that fuel, it's more expensive than petrol. Another problem is icing up of the filler nozzle delaying unplugging the nozzle by minutes to an hour or more. We have totally different approaches to decorating our cars, I remove most of the manufacturer's badges because I think they are tacky. I think I took 4 off my daughter's MG4 and 2 off my BYD Seal. I also told the dealers NOT to put any dealer stickers on the car and replaced the registration holders for ones without the dealer's name.

The reality
The anti-EV amongst us are constantly arguing… This could happen or that could happen or this will happen and that will happen…. The reality is nothing has happened and nothing probably will. All the doom and gloom is nothing more than fantastic imagination.

You do post some nonsense now and again.

I was sleeping whilst charging my EV, does that count?
-
The reality
So do you think they would only limit acceleration for EV's Is there any reason why it shouldn't apply to ICE too? How do you think Porsche, Rimac & Lotus would react?
-
The reality
And if you asked the government about alien bananas arriving from Betelgeuse to take over the world they would say Currently we have no plans to apply any changes up to date information on the plans of alien bananas that would result in limiting the acceleration in our cars the earth being invaded however if we were mandated to apply such a change from the Transport safety office disclose such plans in your country then we would have no choice but to apply such a change notify you Get my drift?

The reality
That is more possible, a voluntary reduction in output, more likely still a black box analysing driving style I'd be f??kkd
-
The reality
Definitely not. I cannot see Porsche limiting their EV's Taycan & Macan. If you do EV's you HAVE to do ICE, nope, never, not going to happen.
-
The reality
They only take an average of 4 kWhrs of electricity per day which the power grid can EASILY absorb. What the video said is correct in some countries and specifically in some places in countries, those places specifically being high speed charging stations on motorways which do need feeding with a high current supply. That requires local grid changes back to the very high voltage grid. What Sabine said was true but misleading, the whole grid does not need upgrading, only at large supercharger locations.

Having been to Vietnam 4 times in the last 6 months, VinFast has to go, their EV's are horrible.

A chart from Robert Bryce who is funded by big oil Also untrue, see https://www.ey.com/en_us/newsroom/2023/06/ey-research-nearly-half-of-us-car-buyers-intend-to-purchase-an-ev Not going to happen. Do you do it to EV's? if you do then you have to do it to all ICE's ie Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, Koeniggseg, Spyker etc etc Never in a million years 555
