Brits have breakers on the circuits and fuses on the plugs. That accomplishes 2 things: If you have a 15 amp circuit and an appliance designed to draw 1 amp, with a cord designed accordingly, and it has a fault that makes it draw say 10 amps, that won't trip the breaker but it'll still melt the cord and start a fire. The fuse can prevent that. Also due to copper shortages when a lot of old British buildings got wired, they wired it in a ring going around each story, instead of a star topology like normal. Since a load can draw from both sides of the ring, thinner wire can be used for the same circuit amperage rating. But relying solely on the breaker/fusebox doesn't work with this because the load could be predominantly drawing on one side of the ring. The plug fuses help with that.

First the required GFCI breakers or outlets for bathrooms and kitchens, and now the trend is to put them everywhere. It detects an imbalance between the current going out hot and coming back on neutal. Any difference and it trips. But you shouldn't rely solely on that, it isn't an excuse not to put sleeves on the prongs so they can't be touched while live during plugging or unplugging.
>>
>>107598207
>Why?
You've already identified why the circuit total is important, so we can just avoid that?
The individual device matters because that can fail in a way that doesn't instantly adjust it's draw and the breaker won't trip.
Which is why fuses are rated to load. The fuse pops before the fire happens.

>being more modern in relation to the earlier two-phase networks
Which literally no-one born after 1920's has experienced in their day-to-day lives...

>more modern in relation
Is it possible to have 'modern' that isn't in relation?

>bunch of nonsense with no factual substance
Like the fact two phase is fucking ancient? Literally dawn of electrical power shit...
>>
>>107598232
Thanks, this explains it well. It feels stupid at first for fuses per device to exist as GFCI would take care of that role, but that explanation of how it mitigates bad topology design now it makes all sense.
And how that bad topology design isnt bad as in stupidity but just bad in cheaping out.
Feels good to actually hear proper answers from people who understand what they're talking about too much of /g/ today is just retard screeching about topics they dont really understand anything about its very tiresome

Yeah and GFCI is what I meant with fault protection it has made electric circuits tremendously safer as long as it functions properly it will make it impossible to get electrocuted or rather to be precise it shuts down the circuit so quickly that the electrocution doesnt have the time needed to do any damage

There are many factors that will influence if you can hear the difference. How it's recorded/mastered is one but also your DAC and speakers/headphones. And your hearing of course. In most situations there is no noticeable difference.

For the most part they just werk. On Windows it's just your usual experience with touch screen and rotation support, On Screen Keyboard pops up when it makes sense. Linux it also just werks but with more caveats depending on your distro. GNOME/KDE is normally recommended for best touchscreen support since Wayland has had a lot of effort in to make it compatible. Since modern distros detect and run all the hardware with no issues X11 windows systems like XFCE can be adapted to be good as well with a few scripts, at the trade off of the screen briefly blacking out and refreshing every time you rotate it and having to manually open the On Screen Keyboard when necessary.

Because cs:go was already starting to look aged. Obviously current players don't care, but Valve has to look to the future too. They couldn't keep the source engine csgo all the way through to 2030 and expect the game to maintain its relevance. They have a balancing act of appealing to their exisiting audience and also appealing to some 15 year old kid who just found out about cs last week.
For a kid born in 2010, the game released when they were 3 years old, despite all the updates to keep it fresh, is basically still a retro game in their eyes, and that is an image that Valve doesn't want for cs. Tradition and legacy yes, 'retro' and dated no.
So a switch to Source 2 had to happen at some point. The reason is pretty self evident.
>>
>>107598085
Good points, although we have moved to an era where things like graphical development aren't taking the leaps and bounds they used to, and often new games coming out today aren't necessarily better looking than something from a decade ago nor that graphics guarantee success.

But yeah people ultimately are consoooomerists and no matter if the CS2 updates didn't change the look much it is still a "new and shiny thing" instead of "old and boring thing" so I get that point, its why especially in console games market the same cod and nhl and nfl gets released yearly with only a small iterative update, it is still "fresh" and even if its necessarily not any better than the last years release, consoomerist sheep still want the "new shiny fresh thing" and not play the last years release
And Valve needs to acknowledge this and probably keep re-releasing CS so it doesn't become the "old and boring thing"
And I mean its not like CS2 isnt doing well its the most played game in Steam right this moment with 650k players online right now

So maybe if there are kids that actually like CS2 more, and those who played CS:GO but were forced to move to CS2 and are bitching about it but still wont quit CS2 for it because thats now the only CS option they have, I mean ultimately the plan works they haven't bled out the playerbase.

Still I'm not entirely convinced about it all, did it actually work. Even though CS:GO was released in 2012 it only kept gaining popularity and it made its peak players online in May 2023 of 1.8 million players just before they switched to pushing CS2 and while CS2 did manage to muster 1.6 mill peak players June 2025 finally getting close to the levels that CS:GO were,
from the statistics it does seem though that the CS2 release cut the wings from the rising popularity of CS:GO and it actually took a dive and hasn't entirely recovered

It's about maps being too complex to create without a team. And if you have to spend a lot of time just for a map, it's more reasonable to make your own game. After the legal drama of og dota vs blizzard vs steams dota2, nobody competent wants to do work for free.

>It's about maps being too complex to create without a team
This is a very good point actually, everything takes more work when it comes to graphic design. On the other hand, coding is easier today than ever.

>nobody competent wants to do work for free
Good point again, in fact this is just not in gaming but in internet in general like zoomers don't even know what the older generations feel nostalgia for, the early internet era where people just did shit for fun and not for profit.
That nobody was "building their brand" or "getting that paper" people were just making things they thought were cool, and there were no "youtubers" doing it as a career but just people posting videos for fun.
When internet entered its turbocapitalism era all of that does seem so far away now and indeed the new generations that would make these things, as often the projects would be started by people in their teens that have a lot of time yet not much responsibilities, well today's teens are looking into their "influencer career" or "flipping those cryptos" instead.

That being said even though I hate the world today, I can't exactly blame the kids either, all they've seen is this hyper-commercialized version of internet and they just go with it, not to mention that during the early internet era of 90s-early 00s, the economic future of the West still looked solid and people had very different attitude about life overall like people didnt worry too much about "making that paper" they didnt think that if they did some "free work" now they wouldnt be able to afford a house in the future that every single waking second must be monetized just to survive

According to HN, these new models are so powerful that the code writes itself, and bugs are easily detected and fixed.
But then you have major libraries like pic related LibXML2 that are going under- or unmaintained.

>Before... What? Precisely?

the right to privacy is enshrined in the bill of rights. It was only within the context of the digital age that the government was able to get public support for the eroding of it. First to combat illegal pornographic content, and later to fight terrorism. Then someone realized they could just get corporations to violate the constitutional restricts since they technically didnt apply to corporations due to semetic magic and its been all down hill since then.

Heres an example of how things have changed: Did you know, one of the major reasons people didnt want to give up windows XP and switch to newer versions such as Win7 was because win7 did the horribly invasive thing of... phoning home one time to microsoft to verify that you had a registered version of windows? People considered that a huge violation of your privacy since it was involuntary and they felt offended that microsoft was no longer going to trust them to just type in a valid CD Key. Now 15 years later and windows 11 actively phones home every day. It spies on everything you do, reports you to the government, and will actively delete files from your computer if microsoft deems them unnecesary.

I'm having a hell of a time installing drivers for some antique controller cards for some industrial machines on some antique computers. One one machine the drivers don't automatically install (and if manually installed the application acts as if they didn't) , on the other, drivers install but the application acts as if they didn't.
I know you won't have a complete solution, but I'm just trying to narrow down what could be going wrong. We can't wait months for them to build us a new controller.
Could the Windows XP service pack and specific collection of updates be affecting something like that?
Could installing the wrong motherboard (or chipset) drivers cause either error? I'm really confident that I haven't done this because I can still get them off the manufacturer's website (they're freaking dells), but management has jumped to this conclusion and won't be talked out of it, insisting on trying to buy two new (old) XP computers as if we're just going to magically get the "insert cd, run installer, and it'll jest werks" experience we deserve instead of continuing to struggle.
