Even at 0F most modern heat pumps produce heat at a COP greater than 2. This means you get twice the rate of heat generation than a typical electric space heater. You are out of date, and wrong.

That's childish and sad. Don't do that please

Yea this is horrendous. Not reading this


Thank you, title needs edited.


This is pseudo-intelligence: "can be exploited by an enemy to bring harm to American forces" means nothing when talking about a metal gun. This isn't some computer vulnerable to RCEs or fly by wire bullets.


But what if the "enemy" has AI bullets with recognition and target tracking for the P320, so they can reliably target the gun with a smart bullet in order to have their gun go off and shoot themselves in the leg or something? /sarcasm

I'm with you... the idea that anything to do with a common side arm is worthy of "military secrets" protection is, as I said, absurd.


believe it or not the same line is how it works at google too!


There are 10 types of people in this work. Those who can extrapolate from missing data, and


Making assumptions about performance when you can measure is generally not a good idea.


and what? AND WHAT?


No drivers are kernel modules


I believe GP misspoke or misremembered and is referring to GDI, not drivers. GDI is the original Windows 2d graphics interface, widely used for drawing UI.

For performance reasons it lived in the NT kernel, together with the Window manager (which also draws windows using GDI).

Vista moved to a compositing window manager, I believe that was the point when GDI moved fully into userspace, drawing into the new per-window texture buffer instead of directly to the screen. And of course Windows 7 introduced Direct2d as the faster replacement, but you can still use GDI today.

Only from NT 4 onwards.

NT 3.1, 3.5 and 3.51 ran GDI in user space.

NT 4 moved it into the kernel.

NT 5 (branded "Windows 2000") and NT 5.1 (branded "Windows XP") kept it there.

It is interesting to consider is as moving back out again; it never was, in my understanding, and even today in "Windows Server Core" it still has the window system built in.

But GDI was not so much moved back out of the kernel again as replaced in NT 6 ("Vista") with the new Aero Compositor.


Maybe the reference is about the XDDM/XPDM vs. WDDM driver models, the latter has a kernel-mode and a user-mode portion: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/d...


Yes, that's what I was thinking of.

Even better, host it on github pages - then you mirror the code too https://stevemk14ebr.github.io/YTCH/ . Author, how do generate the list
