Their homes are in Moomin valley. Snorkmaiden lives with her brother, while the Moomins (Moomin, Mamma and Pappa) live in the aptly named Moomin house.
They do not have a home on the riviera. They moved into a hotel room for a bit, which they are not aware they will have to pay for. They saw the welcome sign outside the hotel and thought it was just someone offering a place to stay out of kindness, as that is typically the logic they operate under when receiving guests in their home.
The hotel staff in turn simply thinks they are eccentric millionaires.
Viimeinkin.
Nyt jää nähtäväksi vetäytyvätkö keikkafirmat kokonaan maasta, niin kuin muualla on käynyt.
So, uh, why is Snorkmaiden staying in the boat now?
Yes.
And yes. The cables don't come with the GPU. 5$ more for every new PSU made is not a drop in the bucket.
And I don't think you realize how thick, cumbersome, and stiff, two sole conductors that can do 500W at 12V would be.
The only reason mains power cables are so thin, is because they operate at 120-240V, allowing the amps (and the stress on the cable) to be fairly low. (It being AC also helps, the problem is WORSE with DC)
To do 500W at 12V, you need truly massive cables. And it gets exponentially bigger the more these cards pull.
In fact, the XT60 would not be enough. It can handle bursts of the 700 watts a 5090 can pull, but to deal with the fact that these GPUs pull that continuously, you need to go all the way up to an XT120.
What the money in our pocket allows us to afford is not the same as what our health and planet can afford.
Causing that disconnect by supplanting secular consideration with economic consideration is one the reasons so much evil is done and accepted in the name of profit.
No. But you can get away with less material if you do.
The amount of copper required to carry 500 watts over 12 connectors is a lot less than 500 watts over two connectors.
XT connectors are designed for two big conductors.
But you actually end up needing a lot more copper than you do when using several smaller wires, to carry the same current.
Large wires are also a lot less flexible.
ATX connectors have been fit for purpose for decades. It's only this latest addition that seems to push things too far.
Everyone deserves a girl who makes a copy of your home key, so you don't have to deal with the hassle of having one made.
