@TechConnectify I think there was no reason for RCA to put more effort into making those.

They already knew there were multiple better technologies that would become viable in a few years, so they just quickly came up with a cheap stopgap solution.

Also, regarding those silly "selling points" in the datasheet - what if they were trolling?

What if the entire product line was a joke to see if the management will let them ship something stupid?

I could go down the long rabbithole of figuring out how to call g*mp's image manipulation tools from a commandline or API, or getting imagemagick installed on this PC and figuring out how to port it over there...

or I could be silly and take advantage of the fact that I'm applying gamma ramps to an 8-bit greyscale image. What's the difference between the "before" and "after" images? a different palette.

My charge from last night on a 30A charger (7.2 kW at 240V).

This is why I'm always harping on the "stop installing giant charger circuits" thing! Even this is a luxury - I only charge about weekly or if I make a long trip.

For USians, a 10 gauge run of wiring will deliver 5 kW sustained. You'll only ever think that's slow if you drive a TON and/or have a really big vehicle.

Especially if you're thinking of DIYing an install, 10 gauge is so much easier to deal with.

@TechConnectify @chloeraccoon what do people need 40kW for?

Here in Poland, my parents' average-sized house only has a ~17kW service (3-phase 230V fused for 25A per phase)

@TechConnectify by things do you mean physical objects, or concepts? /s

the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?

no, but it was the most fun to write.

@foone hmm maybe there are two types of fun: the relaxing fun and the thrilling fun? After all, people do all kinds of dangerous things for fun and I don't thimk those are low-stress or low-attention situations...
