  • Ah is a measure of Coulombs or charge (A × h = C/s × hr × 3600s/hr = C). Wh is a measure of Joules or energy (W × h = J/s × hr × 3600s/hr = J).

    As an electrical engineer, personally Joules would make sense in an idealistic way to describe how much energy batteries store because that’s what they do, but the whole Ah/Wh framework simplifies calculations and makes it so you only really need to multiply, never divide.

    I never really understood the focus on Amps as your primary unit to describe load on a system. It seems like NASA used to describe things this way when designing rockets/spaceships/landers for outer space/Moon missions. I remember listening to a podcast where NASA would budget their systems in terms of Amps, where you only had so much overhead in Amps.

    Growing up as an EE in school and industry, Watts (and Volt-Amperes) is obviously the primary choice of metric, whether working in DC or AC.

    So yeah I agree with you lol




  • Currently on Windows 11 (yuck) and have a Galaxy S23.

    Next devices I’m looking at are a Framework laptop and Fairphone.

    The QR code sounds super easy which is a good sign. I guess most of my complaints rest with what a full FOSS and pro-privacy cyber-system would look like overall. I come from a Windows world so I have those household names stuck in my head, like Word, Outlook, etc. I guess I’m really looking for a guide that has a 1:1 for the entire OS from Windows to Linux, and maybe more if it improves people’s lives. Thinking Jellyfin and Bitwarden and all those purpose-driven applications.

    At this point I don’t know what I don’t know, and I just wish that some of the awesome devs on Lemmy would post a guide to all of this, soup to nuts style. Maybe one day




  • Hey nice to have ya!

    Friendly reminder that the Fediverse is awesome, and you have the power to control the content in your feed not only by which subs you subscribe to or instances you make an account on, but also which you can block - including specific users if it comes to that. Of course, instance admins can do the same, and if that happens to content you want to see, you can always make a new account on a different instance and see everything.

    It takes a little to understand the Fediverse structure, but imo it’s one of the best ways social media can be structured.
