So I guess I have to contact Meanwell and ask why the linked Datasheet is not showing that curve. Thanks for the answer.

It has the high current because it’s cold, it only needs a short time to heat up and light up and the majority of circuits can handle very short overcurrent really well because the connections need to heat up before they break. Using a lightbulb for current limiting works pretty well.

I’ve successfully used incandescent Bulbs in the past. They have barely any resistance when cold, which is the reason why they usually blow up when you turn them on.

For their size, usually I use more than the power the device will use but less than the wires can handle for a while. In your case id get a lamp with a E10 socket, for example 3.5V 0,7W.

Alternatively you can use a PSU with current limiting features.

Do you happen to know how a HTTPS transaction made by an App counts? I don’t mean the apps that are just a fancy browser but for example multiplayer games that communicate with the server or a banking app with a fixed design that just updates the amount of money you have.

I’d rather say the internet becomes more efficient instead of dead. Why manually reload a whole website when you can use a API that only pulls needed Data? With increased automation you’ll only transmit what’s needed. Imagine you would need to reload a old forum page every few minutes to see if you got an answer instead of waiting for the push notification.

Sure, a lot of requests come from robovacs or so but in general I think a big chunk of the automatic traffic comes as the result of decreasing the amount of traffic that would exist otherwise.

Sorry for the late reply, haven’t figured notification out here.

My subs don’t have a spoiler risk but for some things the Automoderator is already useful. For example we have a Script that makes a post nsfw if the comments mention that. It also reports the post for later review. Same could be done with spoilers, you can react as soon as someone complaints without knowing the Script.

It won’t be ignored but I’m certain that the Powermods don’t care. The few real power Mods I know of neither care about the site or the Subreddits. They just want to be mod in as much subs as possible.

Long time I expect some bots to become tightly integrated like the repostmasterbot, BotDefense and some others but the configuration and majority of work will still be with those that are responsible to shape their subreddit. The mods.

I don’t understand the reason for the reference. I’m Moderating a few mid sized Subreddits and we outsource a ton of stuff to Bots like a lot of subs. Wouldn’t say it’s dead just because we try to automate as muchas possible. Moderating a community is a unpaid use of spare time so it helps to decrease the time I have to invest in repetitive stuff.

I don’t think it will happen. They can’t even fix already existing tools that are supposed to reduce the workload of the current moderators. Ironically they are also massively relying on 3rd party Bots for things they could have introduced years ago for all subreddits by default.

They also can’t use “a LLM”, they would have to give each subreddit a own LLM (or at least make small Subreddit groups). Each subreddit has different moderation requirements, small nuances that change how a Subreddit has to be Moderated. You can’t moderate all subs exactly the same. Also, it will be really hard to not decrease the satisfaction in the Community by only looking black and white at some things, Moderating is full of individual Decisions. You also can’t really outsource local subreddit to someone that hasn’t even a clue if the construction site that’s discussed exists and doesn’t know wordplays that are new and only used in that specific region.

If their entire business can be held hostage by a few power mods, then it’s in their best interest to reduce risk.

Reddit has only a low percentage of power Mods and they probably don’t involve themselves into this issue. The Majority of Moderators that want to prevent this change are people that do a ton of work for their subreddit and REALLY care about them.

As much as he probably wants, because he stopped caring a long ago, Steve will need to continue to involve voluntary Moderators. He also should start to make long term decisions because most of the recent changes may be short term improvements for the ad revenue but they made actually using the site a lot worse. (Ironically they are also destroying their own App while they want to force everyone from 3rd party to)
