>However, the “safe” is only valid if e.g. the used supply lines from the power supply with “native” 12VHPWR connector have a good quality and 16AWG lines or at least the used 12VHPWR to 4x 6+2 pin adapter also offers what it promises.

However, the “safe” designation for the connector is only valid if e.g. the used cables from the power supply, with a “native” 12VHPWR connector, are of good quality, and the 16AWG cables or at least the used 12VHPWR-to-4x6+2-pin-adapter also live up to what they promise.

Igor is awesome, but his English has to be read with a generous spirit ;)

I didn’t realize the author was non-native so now I feel bad, thank you.

His English is way more comprehensible than my German.

Do you also write incomprehensible articles in German? :)

I don’t think it’s valid to use “only” with “e.g”. “e.g” means it’s an example, which implies the existence of other cases that satisfy the criteria. “Only” implies some uniqueness of the subject.

I would say that it’s valid.

“It’s legal to drive only if e.g. you have a driver’s license.”

It’s not a great way to say things but it is meaningful. The meaning is “only if [unspecified list of things], and [x] is an example of an item in that list”.

> However, the “safe” is only valid if e.g. the used supply lines from the power supply with “native” 12VHPWR connector have a good quality and 16AWG lines or at least the used 12VHPWR to 4x 6+2 pin adapter also offers what it promises.

Here’s my interpretation:

> However, the term “safe” is only valid if certain things are true, e.g., the used supply lines from the power supply with “native” 12VHPWR connector are of good quality…

I can’t interpret the rest of the sentence.

It does appear the e.g may be dropped here but it’s not hard to think of ways to use the two together:

“It’s only safe given certain conditions, e.g x”

Actually, that is NOT (as such), “how I feel” when I read articles like this - NOT written by professionals (But who is one anyways) - Confucius says, which I tend to agree, which if you, like me, concur.

I really don't understand why power connectors aren't just + and - anymore. There's no reason for more than 2 connectors.

What is this 12-pin Molex bullshit? Why the hell would you need 12 pins? Use some Anderson PowerPole connectors, XT30/60/90, or some other connector designed to handle high currents.

Totally agreed. I’m guessing they wanted to do it with minimal change in tools and materials.

That’s exactly what it feels like to have a mild stroke. I know these words individually.

The site is hosted on a .de domain, so there is a very chance that the author is German. It would have been nice if you had considered that before writing such angry and negative words about the author's work.

Where do you see the anger in my message? I thought that the "stroke" part made it clear that my comment was facetious.

You should feel bad he is also not a native speaker :)

"Reading what they wrote made me feel I was having a stroke" is kind of an unnecessary exaggeration. But yeah, my comment was as well. Fistbump!

I think all (or at least some) of Igor's articles are machine translated to English
