You mean could you get it down to a low enough frequency? Hmm
I guess you can get down into audio frequency but maybe the amplitude will be tiny, you probably want a piezo mechanism that will give you more of a rumble.
You can get quartz to resonate down to upper audio frequencies with certain crystal cuts and manufacturing techniques but it's difficult. Typically, the lowest frequency in common use is with its use in watches with a frequency of 32,768Hz (that's about the lower limit where manufacturing and frequency combine to make a useful product).
For electronic circuits such as frequency reference markers where frequency stability is important the lowest practical frequency is 100kHz with 1Mhz preferred, and where frequency tolerances are tight 5 and 10MHz are much preferred with operation in a temperature stabilized oven to minimize frequency drift.
The most frequency-stable crystal cuts are at those frequencies, as frequencies increase (say >10MHz to 100MHz), which at the highest frequencies require the crystal to operate in overtone mode, frequency stability again tends to decrease.
As mentioned in the article there are a lot of common watch crystals that oscillate at 32.768 kHz, but they are tuning fork crystals rather than bulk mode (or modern SAW), which have much higher frequencies. It would be challenging to lower the frequency of these, but perhaps you could evaporate Au or W onto the tips and reseal them to get into the audible frequencies. Much easier would be to get two crystals which beat against each other in the audio range. Even a couple of 6MHz crystals 100ppm off would be ~6kHz (temp sensitive), and you would need some driving circuits, but you might be able to hear the beat by driving an electret microphone or a really tiny tweeter coil speaker (probably need an amp though).
It's much easier to build/buy electrical rather than mechanical LC components to hit audio frequencies ~100Hz-10kHz.
Yes, but those normally just convert the electrical oscillations to sounds, they are not parts of the oscillators that determine the audible frequency.
In the past, audio RC oscillators or LC oscillators were used, with the former being preferred as the latter required too bulky inductors to reach so low frequencies.
Nowadays, it is usually simpler to not use any audio oscillator, but to use some microcontroller that divides the frequency of its clock until reaching the desired audio frequency.
And a similar question: if you took a normal magnet and rotated it very quickly, say 10k rpm, would it emit an RF signal at (10k/60) hz? I'm 95% sure the answer is yes but I've never seen this demonstrated.
Could you deep fry the spoons in your oil of choice? Imagine a commercial fry cook from a fast food restaurant. The heat would open the wood pores there by removing moisture content replaced with penetrant from the oil bath. Remove, let cool, and wipe off. In theory I don't believe there's anything wrong with the idea.
Deep frying works well when the oil is held well above water's boiling point, keeping excessive amounts of oil from soaking in because steam escaping from the food keeps excessive oil from entering. That doesn't work with wood.
But usually you don't want to. The pores and void structures are part of what makes wood, wood. If you managed to fill everything with polymers then what you have is cellulose-fiber-reinforced plastic and not really what people mean when they talk about "wood". (Wood being a tangled, but directed mess of cellulose fibers lightly glued with lignin)
What you're trying to do with finishes is coat the surfaces with just a little more even of a layer of polymer; that includes the pores too, but just their surface and not their volume. Wood had good wicking action and will evenly distribute oil (or water) on its own. If you tried deep frying, you don't have enough time for the oil to evenly distribute.
I noticed something like this earlier, in the android app you can have it rewrite a paragraph, and then and only then do you have the option to send that as a text message. It's just a button that pops up. Claude has an elegance to it.
I'm writing this on a grapheneos pixel 5. I have the app for very-large-USbank and a few others. With 'exploit protection compatibility toggle' enabled they works fine. In what regard this applies to device attestation I couldn't say.
This only applies to Windows and I think you're referencing desktops.
Ten years ago I think rule of thumb was uptime of not greater than 6 months. But for different reasons. (Windows Server...)
On Solaris, Linux, BSDs etc. it's only necessary for maintenance. Literally. I think my longest uptime production system was a sparc postgres system under sustained high load with uptime of around 6 years.
With cloud infra, people have forgotten just how stable the Unixken are.
Sorry, thought I had posted, but didn't get through. It's a T480 with the 72Wh and the 24Wh battery running on FreeBSD. Screen has also been replaced with a low power usage screen which helps a lot in saving battery while still giving good brightness.
Most of the time I am running StumpWM with Emacs on one workspace and Nyxt in another. So just browsing and coding mostly.
OpenBSD gets close, but FreeBSD got a slight edge battery wise. To be fair, that is on an old CPU that still has homogenous cores. More modern CPUs can probably benefit from a more heterogenous scheduler.
Or they just got one of the 'good' models and tuned linux a bit. I have a couple lenovo's and its hit/miss, but my 'good' machine has an AMD which after a bit of tuning idles with the screen on at 2-3W, and with light editing/browsing/etc is about 5W. With the 72Wh battery that is >14h, maybe over 20 if I was just reading documentation. Of course its only 4-5 if i'm running a lot of heavy compile/VMs unless I throttle them, in which case its easy over 8h.
One of my 'bad' machines is more like 10-100W and i'm lucky to get two hours.
Smaller efficient CPU + low power sleep + not a lot of background activity + big battery = very long run times.
This is a regional bro distinction. I have certainly heard chaqueta used by respectable people in Jalisco. This joke is a reflection of people that don't travel.
In Jalisco y Nayarit the normative word for the large beer bottles is caguama. In central MX that word is ghetto.
A number of years ago driving late one evening an interview of his came on the radio. It might have originally been WGBH or a Canadian affiliate I can't recall, but just listening to him talk and expound on his views of the world gave the same thrill as reading Neuromancer and that same thrill of exploring the world through a phone line.
