E-ARC has the bandwidth for 32 channel/object uncompressed Atmos no need to do EAC3 compression. This is why Apple TV and Windows use Dolby MAT uncompressed, not lossy and more direct.

You can decode TrueHD to PCM + metadata then just send out in Dolby MAT although would be limited to 44/16bit but then so is EAC3 I believe. True HD can go higher sampling and bit rates over E-ARC since it's compressed and why it's used.

Only reason to use EAC3 is to fit over lower bandwidth ARC instead of EARC, my LG tv will convert/compress Dolby MAT uncompressed from Apple TV to EAC3 DD+ if EARC is disabled and it falls back to ARC due to bandwidth constraints.

The cells are also designed toward charge speed vs capacity (more copper less lithium) and cooling systems capable of keeping batteries at good temps even with 10C charging, so overall they are shooting for million mile batteries, I don't think people realize how robust LFP's are and that China is all in on that chemistry and the progress being made there.

I can charge overnight but I am not going to give up a gas car until the fast charging situation is better. I do have an EV around town and its great, but the road tripper is gas, looking at PHEV as a middle ground for next car.

I think Chinese are taking the correct approach focusing on charge speed rather than range, although their range is going up too using LFP batteries that are very safe and have long cycle life.

Good video here looking at the future for EV that is already a reality over there: https://youtu.be/ajim7KF30jE

Most games of the era where 320x240 8 bit 256 colors, I had a 286 with 800x600 SVGA monitor and that game could actually use it although it was only 4 bit 16 color, don't think I ever played the 256 color in the last version.

It worse at high frequencies and the same in the middle. Again this is a whole scope compared to a probe.

Not sure why you think Tiepies are toys, they are use professionally in Europe, popular for automotive. They have a lot more expensive scopes, and the price difference for the differential versions are not that much.

Yes this is very inexpensive single input scope, they make more expensive multi input scopes you can stack as many as you want and have them synced:

The difference in price between their single ended and differential scope is not the much so it seems the actual differential part is not the expensive part, back to my original point.

>Related to that, this thing doesn't appear to have a step attenuator, which is why the effective resolution depends on the volts/div setting of the input.

They sell differential step attenuators: https://www.tiepie.com/en/usb-oscilloscope/accessories/diffe...

>Also, they don't specify the CMRR, which is one the main figures of merit people look for on differential probes.

CMMR 60db from thier spec sheet: https://download.tiepie.com/Documents/Datasheets/Datasheet-H...

>This is not to say the product you linked shouldn't or can't be used for anything, but it is a niche product. That's probably why it is advertised as a "power quality monitor" and not an "oscilloscope".

From their spec page: "The tables below show detailed specifications of the Handyscope TP450 high voltage oscilloscope."

and

"The Handyscope TP450 is delivered with the versatile Multi Channel oscilloscope software, which transforms the Handyscope TP450 into an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, data logger, multimeter and protocol analyzer."

They make quite a few differential scopes, that just happens to be a inexpensive one physically deigned for power quality analysis.

The Tiepie software actually works very well even though it's Windows only, they do have Linux library, just no GUI on Linux. Its not single purpose its a full oscilloscope that happens to use differential inputs.

They actually do sell one more purpose built for power quality analysis which is new. I would love to have a couple on my home power split phases to view and log power quality in detail: https://www.tiepie.com/en/usb-oscilloscope/handyscope-tp450

For about $300 you can buy a Tiepie differential usb scope: https://www.tiepie.com/en/usb-oscilloscope/handyprobe-hp3

Ship vs boat is also not a contradiction.

Cheap aluminum boats are still riveted, welding preferred for obvious reasons. I have an old riveted aluminum John boat and is leaks through the rivets and seams...

Not one mention of column stores? This didn't come from ECS...

The batteries are floated at the line voltage nothing was really charging or discharging and there was no switchover.

This is similar to your cars 12v dc power system such the when the car is running the alternator is providing DC power and the batteries float doing nothing except buffering large fluctuations stabilizing voltage.

All the stuff that makes up emissions gear is highly recyclable and in fact some of it very desirable which is why people are getting catalytic converters stolen. So I do not worry about it filling up a land fill.

I also don't worry about EV batteries filling landfills because again they are very high grade ore for new batteries, once we have enough in circulation we no longer need to mine much lithium or rare earth.

I agree it should be reliable and repairable and forcing the manufacturers to have very long warranties on it seems like a good way to do that, having followed the various generations of DEF systems for the last decade the manufacturers have been making big strides because it costs them otherwise and has.

I also think airplanes using lead is stupid, but that is a fraction of even private diesel pickup usage let alone commercial trucking. Diesel pickups are at least 10% of all pickup sales now days.

You can find instructions on how to make DEF simulators using raspi's to fool the ECU into think the DEF system is working, people who do care about emissions will still carry these for emergency so they continue on their trip and get to a shop later. The derate was over zealous for sure and was a bad policy.

Also DPF is a performance issue since it blocks the exhaust to some degree, same with catalytic converter with def nozzle so no its not just EGR at all. DPF also consumes more fuel for regens.

2027 diesel regulations was to mandate even more NOx control but also specified manufacturers were required to have 100,000 mile 10 year warranty on emissions systems, its 5 year, 50k now. I believe thats dead in the water now.

A diesel engine with a deleted SCR system puts out 40 times the NOx of a working one. Thats 40 trucks going down the road to 1 equivalent. NOx causes asthma and acid rain, its not for the environment as much as for you directly.

Any or all can be "deleted" and is a crime to do so. All 3 systems add complexity and potentially reduce performance which is why those who don't care about emissions like to get rid of them.

Before DEF NOx regulations steadily went up engine manufacturers relied on increasing amounts of EGR to control NOx until it was not tenable, once DEF systems where implemented they could back off EGR increasing performance but not as much as ripping it all out and tuning for no care of emissions.

There are EGR free engines that rely entirely on DEF to control NOx but they are not for on-road use in the US thus far.
