I went to one in LA, extended family went for Xmas. It's weird, super produced. The back wall was a teleprompter and a timer, so they could time this service and start the next.

I don't go to any church, so this was extra over the top.

In 10 years as a "professional" I've never heard it until the last 6 months. I'm EE so different circles, but closer to pure SW people in those last 6 months.

I'm not a fan.. I don't know why.

Where do you sit in the organization? How do you "get ahead of projects"?

Im a Systems Engineer by title, but have no idea where my place is (its all confusing). I'm basically an 'super IC' on a team - and try to play with other groups my group interacts with... So there is no power to set the design. Basically just answer 'will this work with your part of the system'?

I basically end up just finding issues, POC end-to-end (well outside of my discipline: I'm a HW guy to I'll do a FW to Cloud security thing).. and well, why business does the HW Systems person have suggesting we use PKI for authentication?

It's more complicated than that. There are Smart-UPS online. Thats double conversion also 0ms transfer

Some of the "newer" online models will have a green mode, which although double conversion green mode introduces a transfer time (~2ms, basically relay lift time).

Backups are also square wave, or stepped sine Smart are Sinewave output.

This is specifically APC.

Also remember there are tare losses (copper / magnetizing and conversions), so a UPS just sitting there can use up to 30W.
