  • Much, maybe all, of Mexico supplies single phase power via 2 phases from three phase power. In the US that is known in the power industry as “network power” and is usually 120/208 volts. Now 208 volts sucks. But to get 240 volts from such a configuration, you’d have to have 138.5 volts on line to neutral, and that is a bit too much for most things that want 120 volts. In Mexico they have chosen a compromise where the L-N voltage is just a little high (127 volts) and the L-L voltage is just a little low (220 volts).

  • If you’re talking kernel-level drivers – and I don’t know what “drivers” means here — you can’t use Windows drivers on Linux.

    If, in some (rare) occassions, you can use Windows drivers on Linux, WINE is definitely not the proper method of installing them.
    Unlike a VM, WINE doesn’t have access to any hardware, so the installer doesn’t ‘see’ that the required hardware is installed.

    The Pitot tube doesn’t work as the ballon is moving (more or less) with the wind, i.e. both pressure tubes, the one for static pressure and the one for total pressure, in the Pitot tube experience (almost) the same pressure, resulting in measuring (almost) zero dynamic pressure and thus velocity.
