Comment on 65w vs 90w Laptop Power Supply Benchmark by /usr/local/dick

Went on holiday with my D830 and a 65W PSU. H264 video from my video cameara would not play no matter what. Yesterday had the same issue while trying to play MKVs with VLC – choppy and all.

Using a 90W PSU fixed everything.

Comment on Bullseye: Target Paints Logo on Their Roof That is 250 Feet in Diameter by Jester

It appears this is something Target is doing near all major airports from some other blogs I’ve read. I just started researching it because I saw a giant (250 foot) bullseye on the roof of the Target store at Potomac Yards (Alexandria, VA) right next to National (no I won’t call it Reagan-National) Airport

This is pretty cool.

Another option, especially if you’re doing this programmatically, is to add the item to a parent UIComponent, and offset it within the UIComponent.

It seems possible that they looked at your work, but I’m sure that you were not the only person to think of many of these.

@anon
I would have thought so, but that’s why I wanted to run these benchmarks. If the battery can output more than the 65w power supply then maybe the answer is no, the 65w power supply is not enough power for full performance.

There must be a way to turn this off – surely the machine should be able to offer better performance with a 65w PS than with the battery alone.
