Cars pretty much all do this now.


I mean you could sign it yourself. Or donate to a maintainer so they can sign it. Open source or other community windows drivers usually aren’t signed unless they have donors paying for it, certs aren’t free :)

If anything it’s on windows for not having a way to allow just one unsigned driver.


Nope. It’s common and can be an indicator for apnea etc..

Normally sleeping on your back maximizes airflow instead of creating an obstruction (snoring)


Sleeping on your back is a cause of apnea and snoring. It's basic gravity.


You can, but central units aren’t great right now. Mini-splits are much better. Price is lower, cheaper to install, regulation between rooms is more even, and you can turn off unused rooms to save energy.

Not sure why the market has moved this way but it is what it is. That unit probably is underspeced


Mini-splits are functionally excellent but have a difficult time with the Wife Factor. So far most of the decorative "solutions" are rather poor. I'm sure over time, as they become more popular, people will come up with ideas for how to work them into the home's interior design, but for now, many find them too utilitarian in appearance.


I was looking into this and one factor is that you still need hot water. So with mini-splits your options are either resistive water heating or having a gas boiler as well. I haven’t seen any systems which do mini-splits and also heat a hot water tank.


Heat Pump Water Heater. You can put it next to high end computer to suck its heat in :-)

Yup. Additionally, TB Capacity per Watt is meaningless except when idle or choosing PSU size.

The relevant workload for energy efficiency has units of energy, not of power. And units of bits as well.

They should be measuring bits/joule or TB/kWh for both r/w conditions, as that’s going to make the biggest difference.

And you need to measure it at the system level because it’s more resource intensive to the CPU/chipset to support a higher bandwidth.

I don’t think theres a realistic workload where the test ran makes sense (maxing out read writes per drive instead of normalizing for data rate).

Good point, I hadn't even taken this into account.
