Talk:Digital Visual Interface

message: # The DVI Specification only defines two connector types, a digital-only connector and a digital+analog connector, what the page currently refers to as "Dual-Link DVI-D" and "Dual-Link DVI-I". Refer to pages 45-47 in the specification. The other three connector types are not part of it. The current article (and diagram) is misleading, since it suggests that these other configurations are part of the specification, and therefore that you can identify whether a device is dual-link or single-link by looking at the pins. This is incorrect. While you can encounter these other "unofficial" connector configurations in the wild, since they are not part of the spec they are not used universally. Many devices (especially adapters) use the full standard connector ("dual-link" connector) even though they are single-link devices; this is technically following the spec. Some manufacturers may use the unofficial "single-link" connector when the device is only single-link, but it is not a universal convention by any means. This should be made clear in the article and diagram. I propose separating the connector section into two subsections, one describing the official connectors defined in the specification, and a separate section describing what other "unofficial" pin configurations have been used in the industry.
# There are no official names for the different DVI ports and connectors. The terms "DVI-D", "DVI-I", etc. are not established by the DVI specification. They are simply used in the industry by convention. The wording of the article should make this clear.
# The DVI specification does not define any maximum bandwidth limit. The only limitation it specifies is that any formats requiring higher than 165MHz TMDS clock must use the dual-link operation. This means DVI is limited to 165 MHz TMDS or below when operating in single-link mode. However, it does not mean "the maximum allowed on each link is 165MHz, therefore with two links the max is 330MHz". This is incorrect. Links are allowed to surpass 165MHz, as long as the connection is operating in dual-link mode, the 165MHz TMDS clock limit only applies when operating in single-link mode. The DVI specification clarifies this specifically on page 13:
"The single link only mode must be used for 25MHz to 165MHz T.M.D.S clock operation and the first link can operate at above 165MHz T.M.D.S clock only in the case of the total bandwidth requirement surpassing 330MHz T.M.D.S clock."
In practice DVI is generally only implemented on systems requiring ≈330–350 Mpx/s or less, but this is not a limitation imposed by the DVI specification; technically no upper limit is defined for the dual-link mode of operation. This article should be worded to reflect this.
I can make all the changes myself, I just wanted to post a notice here in advance, so any disagreement can be voiced first.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Daedalus Publishing

message: Keep (please). Daedalus Publishing is a very well known and respected publisher for the GLBT and BDSM communities. They are the publisher of well known titles such as William A. Henkin, Sybil Holiday, Consensual Sadomasochism : How to Talk About It and How to Do It Safely, Daedalus, 1996. ISBN 1881943127, and have been nominated by the American Library Association for the 2005 Stonewall Book Award for another title (Painfully Obvious). This probably does not mean much for a lot of folks out there, but for the rest of us that makes them a noteable publisher, probably second only to Greenery Press.

With her Black queer-inspired dance album Renaissance (2022), she became the first female artist to have their first seven studio albums debut at number one on Billboard 200."

Talk:Contrail

message: I don't get it. Are there two causes for contrails? The article seems to say so. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:57, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Contrails are visible trails of condensed moisture in the atmosphere. They are associated with aircraft and rockets. So there is only one criterion for what constitutes a contrail. However, there are numerous phenomena that can cause a visible trail of condensed moisture in the atmosphere. Firstly, the long contrails we see at great height are caused by moisture from the engine exhausts. These contrails can extend over a great distance and can persist for many minutes. Secondly, short contrails that are usually only visible around aircraft near the ground can be caused by wingtip vortices from the wings (or propellers) of aircraft. These short contrails extend only over a short distance and rarely persist for more than a few seconds. Thirdly, a localized region of "cloud" above the wing of an aircraft is also condensed moisture in the atmosphere so it almost meets our criterion for a contrail. This cloud above the wing persists for such a short time it appears to be attached to the aircraft and follows it around. Dolphin (t) 12:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two causes? 

message: Is "contrail" a neologism or a military phrase? Back in the 70s and 80s, they were called "vapour trails". I've only heard the phrase contrail for the last five or maybe ten years, right around the time the "chemtrail" conspiracy crap started to blossom.
Contrail seems to be a contraction. Even if this word has been accepted by the scientific community, the commonly used phrase vapour trail should still be mentioned, in bold, in the article lede. On top of that, the etymology of the word contrail should be explored in the article. --82.2.5.153 (talk) 12:37, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Chip foundry

message: I have removed a section of the article that is as follows:
Issue detected: The information above about Z80 cycles is not correct. Instruction fetch starts with MREQ signal going active after maximum 85ns delay to the falling edge of the first clock cycle. At the second clock cycle's rising edge DRAMs are fed with row address with RAS going active. On the second clock cycle's falling edge DRAMs are fed with column address and CAS is activated, and Z80 samples WAIT signal activated by the M1 wait state circuit, which extends instruction fetch cycle be one clock cycle. Refresh does not have two parts. Refresh is performed by RAS-only technique, which requires RAS signal to go active for Tras (min 120ns for 4164-120) on the next positive clock edge after both MREQ and RFSH activated. As such DRAM chips require meeting specific timing on RAS activity and RAS precharge, and rising edge of the clock to activate RAS line, two clock cycles are required to perform proper refresh of DRAM chips. See MSX computer circuit diagrams for proofs.
This seems to be a rant about something incorrect with the article. I am not knowledgeable on the subject of the article and therefore will not and cannot fix it. However, if the original author of this quote has an issue with the correctness of the article, (s)he is encouraged to edit it and make appropriate changes. The section that I removed is simply not helpful. hwalter42 (talk) 00:28, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
