Why will it get 'washed out'? The pixels are the same regardless of how large the display is. Larger displays will either have larger pixels or more pixels, or both. From various reviews I've seen when you upscale images, there tends to be a slight improvement rather than degrading as compared...

Hi! I was about lubricating my computer fan. The WD40/sewing/machine oil dries up quickly so I was wondering about Lithium grease, but unfortunately it's too thick, and it won't flow into the bearings. So I was wondering about ways to thin it. I read thinner is good, but can I use WD40 oil...

From all inductors I'm seeing online, their voltage rating is now given.

I may remove that capacitor, but only if I figure out what's an STR.

For some reason I had to apply a capacitor in parallel to an AC circuit which has reduced the power factor as a result some power generating AC equipments are complaining (overload). Now I need to apply an inductor in parallel to fix that. For that I need a formula which gives me the...

But the capacitor is applied across an AC circuit 220V. Battery is not connected in online mode.

10Amps at 220 V is 2200W. The UPS is rated at 300W.

I'll surely try the inductor. Thanks for the clarification and advice! Yes a better PSU is a solution. I upgrade from a cheap one to an expensive one, but I think need to buy top notch. Gigabyte brand of PSUs is not that reputable. As an alternative I can replace the cheap PSU's internal...

According to ATX specifications, the PSU should hold for a minimum of 16ms. Since I verified this by 2 different UPS, probably the UPS is transferring in 4ms so the PSU has a design flaw; although they say it complies with ATX 2.3 specs. I don't think the PSU does have a power down sequence...

It's a new PSU (from Gigabyte). It'll void warranty that way. Anyway I opened up an old smps to find the 2 large capacitors of 330µF rated for 300V (peak in a 220V AC input?).

What do you mean 'rectified'? The output of the UPS is AC; it's an offline UPS which just passes the AC input (100% sine wave) to the PSU of the computer as long as there's input power; once the electricity is out it converts the input from it's internal 12V lead acid battery to 220V 50HZ square...

Hi! I'm in a place where electricity goes out frequently; as a result I got a UPS which is powering my computer the total power input of which is less than 200W. The UPS is 300W or 600VA. The transfer time (time to switch from AC mode to battery mode) of the UPS is around 4 ms; but in that...

Yeah, I was comparing the 2 you know.

^ +1 You just need a large repository. I find lots of scientific software available for Linux. If you want a large repo of that, use Gentoo, but it's hard to work on it...so you might give Sabayon a try. Although I might expect more scientific software in scientific Linux, but it uses RPM...

It's not in Gentoo repos. For me, Firefox surpasses Chrome...it's lacking major functionality.
