@ionchy@octodon.social wym? all the nice print-to-order websites seem to use their shirts

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen yeah I get that, sorry

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen idk it'll heat up food pretty quickly

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen well, microwaves have their wattage specified usually so that's why I used it at an example bc light bulbs don't heat up that much anymore

@maximemelian@catcatnya.com gibt z.B. spezielle für Anwendungen wo sie oft ge- und entladen werden, z.B. für Schnurlostelefone

@maximemelian@catcatnya.com hängt von der Anwendung ab, außerdem sind die von Ikea wohl rebadgete eneloop pro

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen yeah 650 W is quite a bit of heat, that's a microwave on medium low

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen yes! and that's happening all the time and can't be reversed, to convert energy into a more "useful" form you have to expend more energy, the entropy of the universe can only go up

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen the electrical energy does work (not even real work in the physics sense) while turning into heat

@Gmr_Leon tell that to someone who has aphantasia lol

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen energy can't be destroyed, just converted to a less useful form of energy (scientists say that the entropy of the system rises)

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen though if you have a 650 W power supply that doesn't mean your computer is drawing 650 W all the time or even under full load, more like 250 W maybe? and under full load you're still supposed to have like 50-100 W to spare

re: computers, heat, personal realization 

@LottieVixen every single of those watts becomes heat

@srol hm, that makes it a bit more mysterious

why do ppl who post about how great PSX graphics were always include the blurriest shittiest emulator screenshots

@grumpygamer it's a bunch of wrappers around Windows/DirectX APIs, to make porting less work. I don't think using it keeps people from selling their game on e.g. Steam, they don't have to use the App Store

I think it's very good game design that the mammets get two days off
