If that's your current, what's the voltage?

Fossilmaiden

+3.3 V, +5 V, and +12 V, transformed down from 230 V +10%/−6%.

shouldn't that be measured in watts ber megabyte

Tatterhood

no wait, joules per megabyte

I can't dimensional analysis anymore

Tre

but what is your peak?

Princess Alice

*grabs a multimeter*

*measures the voltage drop across Tre*

Klinotaxis

if you were real hardcore, you'd know that joules per megabyte is just (proportional to) inverse kelvin

this kind of blew my mind

thermodynamics is cool

actually lucy it's pretty hot

Tachyon

it's both, otherwise it'd be thermostatics

Tatterhood

Mauna Loa. 3.8, but 3.5-6 is my stable.

Alduin

I had 3.5 MBps peak too, but my connection usually reaches 200-500 kBPs.

with a constant of proportionality with too many (tm) digits

is there more on this someplace?

Klinotaxis

any good thermo textbook. you can interconvert nats and thermodynamic entropy with boltzmann's constant.

lee4hmz

oh ok

Calica

Here's a decent Internet-available introduction too

lee4hmz

oh wow, so 1 nat = 1/ln(2) bits, and 1 nat = k J/K, so information is related to energy and temperature...

Klinotaxis

it's kind of an enormous scaling factor, too, the 5.74 J/K of a mole of graphite is about 75 ZB, or some other numer since I can never remember the conversions, but still large

lee4hmz

wow.
