It would shut down I can hear 30K nonsense real quick.

I deal with UPS's as well. Not really the same thing as the utility batteries. UPS's have not changed much in decades. Most of them still use lead acid batteries. They don't last very long even when maintained. When looking at the cost, size, weight, maintenance and reliability I have to question why we keep doing it the same way with UPS's.

Both Exxon-Mobile and BP have wind and solar generation in 2016 in the 4-5% range. Predictions based 5-6 year old data is useless in the energy markets.

Nothing like a huge corporate security leak.

Worldwide most new power plants being constructed are renewable. They are cheaper and start producing power within weeks instead of years. Read the power and utility media and you quickly find out everything has changed in last 2 years. The rate of change keeps increasing.

Workflow, timecode, latency

Will GM, Ford and Fiat, issue a patch that kills the engine instead of reducing the performance when the octane isn't high enough? What could go wrong?

So they work under better conditions then you would at a Murray Energy Mine.

Unsubsidized PV has hit below 2 cents kW. Apparently the author did not read the report very well. Renewables dropped below other sources 2 years ago in much of the world.

We have used spinning hard-drives in audio for decades now in both studio and live production. Studios would not typically expose the drives to continuous levels over 91dB, but it is not uncommon. Live production you can over 105dB for many hours and I have never heard of anyone have vibration issues.

8K at 60 does not fit in 48Gb it is over 71Gb, of course 4K does not fit in 16Gb either for the old standard. You have to be giving up something.

Desktops from 2010 apparently. Not much progress from my 2012 Macbook Pro i7, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, 1TB spinning disk, 8 hours battery life (while running a Windows VM). GPU power is about the only progress in laptops in the last 5 years.

Getting rid of record companies could save music though.

Heating elements don't care if they are AC or DC. It is pretty common to use them as dump loads. But getting the voltage to run yours off battery banks for homes is not realistic. 48 volts would be lucky to warm the water a few degrees. Utility type banks could run it no problem. You reminded me why I ended up with natural gas for our instant water heater. I about choked when I figured I needed 55kW just for the water heater.

You have 3 phase power in your house? Many 3 phase elements can be rewired to single phase.
