It's not that impressive, IMO. The 'optics' modules which go into SFP+ sockets on fibre cards can draw only 2.5W per module/socket/port. While easily doing 40/50/80/100Gbps, depending on the used fibre standard.
So that would be 5W for two ports.
That intel thing does up to 10Gbps per port, while not having to light up lasers. For two ports that may add up to maybe half a Watt.
Which would leave 600mW for the SOC driving that stuff and PCIe 4x4. IRL they'd saved some more somewhere else, on the PHYs, or something, giving maybe 1W for the SOC.
Of course Optical Fibre will always be lower power.
If you look at the historic 10Gbps Copper Ethernet power usage, there was a point where we even celebrate 10W per port. And it wasn't that long ago. I can't wait for it to be low power and cheap enough to completely replace 1Gbps.
"The spread of Islam presents a profound challenge to open societies. While we cherish tolerance as a foundational value, tolerance of intolerance eventually becomes self-destructive.2 As we struggle to defend secular, liberal values without lapsing into bigotry or xenophobia, the distinction between criticizing ideas and dehumanizing people is essential. But so is honesty: And the truth is that open societies cannot tolerate the spread of Islamic fanaticism indefinitely." seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Because it misses how secular and liberal societies are the ones subsidizing and weaponizing islamists on one side, and causing the ire of other groups that will also weaponize islam as revenge of the military incursion of same secular societies.
I don't have any qualms to detest fundamentalism, jihadism included; but any analysis that focuses on religion and not on the different geopolitical incursions the so called "secular" west, it's childish and it's not even worth to consider. And it's such a joke that these "secular" and "rational" individuals would rather embrace religion than accept that their societies might be complicit and reponsible of all this suffering.
Being mobile, affordable, while being DIYable? PoC? Nothing in there seems like the storage couldn't be exchangable for whatever is at hand, be it 'salvage', or brand new shiny SSDs if there are enough funds.
On old and now obsolete systems this is maybe 20 seconds? I invoke the package manager to update just ff. It downloads, gets extracted, then I'm restarting it. It does it's thing, and restores my tabs. After killing it with -9 right before the update.
On linux I use kill -9 before any update, on the parent of ff's entire process tree. Works for me every single time, reliably getting my tabs back without the need for any extension.
