The entire previous week was spent waiting for the delivery of modern multiple launch rocket systems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Despite the law on lend-lease, adopted in the United States, according to rumors, politicians feared that this type of weaponry would carry "the risk of escalation if Ukraine strikes deep into Russian territory." But in the end, the US approved these supplies (still - the status of the law obliges them to do this). As a result, the M270 multiple launch rocket systems (on a tracked chassis) and M142 HIMARS (lighter and more mobile, on a wheeled chassis) should enter the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which the US authorities will officially announce next week. Why are these systems interesting, what ammunition do they use, why are politicians afraid of an “escalation” in the context of an already ongoing full-scale war (the largest in Europe since World War II) and how can they influence the course of hostilities? Editorial gg figured out and ready to share with you.

A reliable power supply is the key to the health and longevity of all other computer components: processor, motherboard, video card, and especially disks. But drives are valuable not so much in themselves, but the information stored on them. A common cause of bad sectors on hard drives is just power surges supplied by the power supply. The generally accepted 80 PLUS (Bronze, Gold, Platinum, Titanium) energy efficiency certification, which means the efficiency of the PSU, is de jure not a guarantee of reliability, but de facto means that at least someone external has tested the PSU. Not a single manufacturer will dare to give a completely hacky model into the hands of testers. However, there are worthy PSUs even without the 80 PLUS certificate: either their efficiency does not reach the minimum allowable 80%, or the manufacturer simply decided to save on the certification procedure and, thereby, reduce the cost of the product. In addition to high efficiency, modular design is also important, that is, the ability to disconnect unused wires for a neater PC exterior.

Air coolers are more compact, easier to install and maintain, and simply cheaper. But still, their heat dissipation capabilities are severely limited - 200, well, maybe 220 watts. Even in smartphones and gaming laptops, manufacturers are experimenting with liquid cooling (although there is not a water block, but the so-called evaporation chamber). And in desktop PCs, especially powerful gaming and professional-working ones, the liquid or, in common parlance, water cooling system reduces the temperature of the processor by 10 degrees and adds 10 points of charisma.
