Any question answered...

"Currently unavailable. "

But thanks, I think I was searching for the wrong thing. I'll head to ebay.

"Currently unavailable. "

really? says in stock for me

Yep, weird. There is a link to a newer version that is in stock for me.

Ah, I wasn't signed in. But still weird.

If a) every server in world was connected to a single power source; b) there were no back ups or off grid servers (or any other loop holes); and c) I turned the power off and on again, could I theoretically erase all the information on the internet?

As I suspect the answer is no, if I left it powered off for a year then turned it back on, would there be any issues (purely related to the information stored on the internet, not societal collapse)?

Maybe a strip of inner tube to wrap around the rod, and a zip tie or 5 to hold it in place, depending on how wide your zip ties are? If the rod is painted you might want to keep a needle handy to open the zip tie back up instead of trying to cut it off.

No, most of them would be fine.
Pull the plug on your desktop pc and turn it on a year later - there would be a few failures but by and large Wikipedia, Amazon and azure would be still there.

Is eBay automatically adding the VAT to purchases from the EU?
There’s no breakdown of the cost but my accepted offer of $115 is now $138.

Fucking Brexit.

Anyone know a work around that will still give me PayPal protection?

could I theoretically erase all the information on the internet?

No, because the majority of it is on non-volatile storage (magnetic discs and EEPROM aka Flash)

Some things might temporarily look slightly different when you reboot because parameters for dynamically generated content which were stored in RAM would be lost, and they would only regenerate the same way if the user interactions which set the parameters were replicated.

if I left it powered of for a year

It would take a lot longer than that to accumulate enough bit errors to overcome error correction. If you left it for 100 years you could probably detect some losses if you went looking for them.

One possible issue is if servers depend on checking in with other servers to start up correctly. There's going to be some interesting circular dependencies that no one's thought about or hopes will never happen.

Plus if you kept the whole internet off for a year, every server would have expired SSL certificates and might not be able to download new ones without manual intervention.

(there's an analogous problem with the power grid called a black start )

Black start, never heard of it but interesting concept to think about in other contexts.

Thanks Tester and Timmah for replies as well.

have we had headsets yet ? mordern 1 1/8th ahead and classic 1 inch threaded ? nothing in the first post

any reason why i shouldn't buy one of these

I've got these on bikes, they seem fine.

I think I got mine cheaper from planet x.

I’d go with one of these over the fsa, for similar monies

What model Hope is this hub?

2 Attachments

Looks like an old rear Hope XC rear hub (with impossible to find freehub removed?). Dont think its a bulb as that had a ridge round the central body

Hope XC was hub before Hope Pro2 (none evo)

thanks for the responses, i could have sworn i posted this in the tester approves thread hence why i mentioned the opening post , might pop it there too so we get a definitive answer and something for the opening post

Some databases are stored in RAM (more so before SSDs), so theoretically if they didn't dump them out before your act of vandalism there could be lost data as they revery to the last backup.

Raw stainless polishing: water vs Alumicut vs? Recommended number of sandpaper steps? Range of grits?
It’ll be a fairly easy piece to work on, a flat disc about 12 cms across. Thanks.

Thanks

If you're still unsure, send a pic to Hope, they usually reply very quickly.

I'll try that

Water is fine. Grit depends on where you start and where you want to finish. Probably start at 240-300 if there are no significant scratches which have to go away, and double the number each step until you get the finish you're after.
