Counterintuitively, they are best mounted on ceilings in commonly-occupied places, radiating heat downward. They heat the objects and people in the room, and the air mostly indirectly. The infrared light/heat bouncing around the room means you can be comfortable at an ambient air temperature about 5C lower than with traditional heating. They're common in infrared saunas and hot yoga studios, but new to the home heating market. I haven't had a full winter with mine yet, but claims of savings on the order of 40% are common.
These are more efficient and far less costly to install than radiant floor heating systems... several hundred euros per panel, plus installation.
Before you consider any heating system, however, know the differences among radiant, convective and conductive heat transfer!
For bonus points, combine with renewably-sourced electricity and other home energy loss minimizations.
I installed one of the 500GB drives several days ago, and the performance improvement is incredible. Boot times are under a quarter what they used to be with the 5400RPM drive that came with the laptop (a 2011 Macbook Pro). Application launches are virtually instantaneous. It's like a new computer.
I can't speak to the abstract "overall performance" measurements from the article (random 4K response times? give me a break)--where this drive soars is in real-world, day-to-day performance, and the improvements are phenomenal.
Repeated writes are a weak spot for SSD, and this is where a hybrid drive should offer more reliability: cache the frequently-accessed, less-frequently changed data. Should the SSD fail, the drive will fall back to the platter.
The value proposition of these drives is unbeatable--vastly improved speed, great storage capacity, dirt-cheap prices. Let's hope the long-term reliability is what it should be.
Lightning is simply not capable of streaming a "raw" HDMI signal across the cable.
Why not? Handling raw 1080p video for an interface released in 2012 seems like a minimum to me.
I've abandoned my Delonghi, and now drink coffee only at home. Everything else tastes terrible.
The obsession of some Americans with owning arms strikes much of the rest of the world as strange. It's a holdover from a revolutionary era. The net result of increased gun ownership is increased gun deaths.
Your sense of security from your ammunition is delusional.
