I'd like something bigger than 1gb for the LAN port...yeah, most of my stuff is quick from a wifi standpoint, but I don't want the hardwired stuff to be second class citizens. Look…

Add to that, FB is no longer people...it's viewing entertainment...and I turn it off a bunch. Threads is the new time sink and a lot of times I open it and close it shortly thereaf…

My keyboard is currently behaving. For once. It's been useless roughly three times since the last major update. Over the course of each year-long iOS version life, I've become used…

Wow...I learned UCSD/Pascal on the Amiga in High School, that takes me back. Edit: Hmmmm, might have been the Apple II. Not seeing the Amiga in the Wiki...We started on Apples, the…

I'm assuming you don't have any audit requirements for this application. The stupid pricing for hardware often isn't in the hardware, it's in the compliance.

Bundling. You get 5 things, one of which makes the other ones worthwhile. Yeah, I get it... By the same token, all ranges of Mini Cooper now have the B48 turbo 4...the top of the l…

At the time the code was/is written, I'm betting carplay offered up a square viewport. Apple's since wanted to offer up multi-display solutions to be the AV/GUI for cars...I think …

Having just bought a Mini Cooper, I'm in the initial free-services period of the ownership and honestly, if it's the $10 a month I suspect, I'm okay with it. Primarily for the navi…

I also got notification on my apple watch, while being away from the house, that the homepod mini heard our fire alarm going off. A call home let us know that our son had set it of…

In general, your dollar buys a _Crazy_ amount of compute...but over the last 30 years or so, RAM has spiked several times (Taiwan plant fire) and suffered from several market drive…

Raspberry Pi emulation works well, too. (and is massively fast.)

Pull the CMOS battery. Recap before you put power to it...make sure the power supply is healthy. Do those things and it'll run 40 years from now.

I've found when you have a file with stops and starts, it's because the extraction process is not familiar with how the data is laid down on the storage media. So it sees 'I have a…

At the time, formatting a floppy disk was a single task thing. Downloading a file via Zmodem was mostly a single task thing. The Windows of the day could to the latter, but not the…

As a career security guy, I've lost count of the battles I've lost in the race to the cloud...now it's 'we have to up the budget $250k a year to cover costs' and you just shrug. Th…

There's a cost/value calculation that just doesn't work well...I have a Ryzen9/rtx3070 PC ($2k over time) and my M4 Mini ($450) holds it's own for most all normal user stuff...spri…

We're in a mode where we're 'camping' with a 5th wheel trailer. It has COMPLETELY altered my travelling experience in ways I never expected. Being in Nature, with a clean bathroom …

That's what you got with BeOS...throw out backward compatibility and build to current Best practices...it's ability to extract performance out of an 133 Mhz processor was amazing.

CORE energy in Colorado is charging $0.10819 per kWh _today_ https://core.coop/my-cooperative/rates-and-regulations/rate-...

I got past that back when I was paying for ISDN and had 5 Surplus Desktop PCs...write it off as 'Professional development'

I don't, I'm a REALLY light user. smaller LLMs work pretty well. I used a 40gb LLM and it was _pokey_, but it worked, and switching them is pretty easy. This is a 12 core Xeon with…

Oddly, my 2013 MacPro (Trashcan) runs LLMs pretty well, mostly because 64Gb of old school RAM is, like, $25.

Alienate customers, punish colleges, cancel research, send smart folks running from your borders. Sounds like a pretty logical conclusion.

I will say I've been on a number of flights that left late but arrived early/on-time. I think they build a pad into flight time and/or give up fuel efficiency to make up time.
