So I currently have a 600w Chinese power supply and decent system, my power supply is about 1.2years old now and I've seen posts in my local PC group telling everyone to avoid it since its bad.
Now I don't wanna upgrade my SU and I want to use it as long as it lasts. So before my PSU dies, will it give some signs of a faulty PSU or will it just die by itself randomly, I cant really afford a new PSU atm and I wanna use it to a point where its about to die but my components remain safe.
I remember learning these terms somewhere in a CompTIA A+ book from 2006 that I have. I looked through several relevant chapters but I can't find it. I think that perhaps the term describing a total failure case was "catastrophic failure." Put in terms of, for example, a video card malfunctioning, one mode of failure was that your video was flickering or glitched, but still technically functioning, and the total failure would obviously give you nothing but a blank screen.
edit: Went back to the book; found the answer: The 2 types of failure caused by ESD: catastrophic failure and upset failure
In the year 2000 the minimum wage in the UK was £3.60. It has in the 21 years since risen to £8.91 - an increase of 147.5%
Meanwhile: the average home in 2000 cost £89,597. It has since risen to £266,000, an increase of 197%
This disparity between wages and house prices points toward greater inequality as poor families find it harder to become home owners.
The story is much the same all over the world. What is the reason behind this disparity and what might be the solution?
I know you can just buy components from electronic distributors online, or you could buy a bunch of components in a big kit or something. But when you need to buy specific components, what do you do?
I know that there are some regulation that imposes limitation for the THD.
Besides that, what motivation can you give to the necessity of harmonic reduction?
Are some kind of load sensible to harmonics? How is the reliability of the equipment affected?
The main selling point for those two brands is the expectation of reliability. It's nearly unheard of for a major recall or infamous problem of transmissions going out before 100k miles, or headgaskets blowing, etc etc.
But electric cars don't have all that, they don't even have oil that needs replacing a couple times a year which makes negligence in that regard a non-issue. It will be harder to screw up an electric motor and battery, because you don't really need to change much to adapt it to that car. Thus the famous 2 car brands known for reliability will have nothing.
Do you guys think they will have to be more "exciting" like Toyota has been trying in recent years, or do you think they will struggle and lose market share to the Koreans which seems to be slowly happening already with gas cars? What are your thoughts?
Is there any stores in the Fargo area that carry small electronic parts like wire, capacitors, soldering supplies, etc?
Im looking for places that sell specifically Electrolytic Capacitors and Transistors. The only place i knew that sold them was Fry's and that closed. Neither Best buy nor Batteries Plus sell them.
