    Read more about it. Not sure on endurance but does it really do that well on latency ? Curious if you have any resources. Some boards have a lot of spare m2

    I have not seen that to be the case. Usually the opposite. You have x years of seniority/experience and then you hit a minimum base pay for your new employer.

    If you want a super fast cable and high power thats where they get pricey. "Charge only" cables can often be fairly cheap and perform well even for laptops and high draw devices.

    Not the OP but I used to do that - problem is phones are becoming so damn large even the elasticated belt doesnt work that great anymore. Too much bounce. I found a "belt" thats mu…

    Its also possible that its optimised for least walking for other reasons. If you were disabled in any way (like a wheel chair) or even an old lady maybe this is the better route. O…

    Yeah Im surprised nobody is talking about this. When everyone first saw Taalas I looked at the design and it had a big legup in physical cache availale compared to most chips. Make…

    The Taalas chips are not physically small. And part of their secret (if you look at the design) is just locating a bunch of memory soldered on the edges ( I belive higher amounts o…

    The funny thing is that if companies wanted they could probably use AI to instead increase uptime. Keep existing QA teams (instead of replacing them) and then use AI for better and…

    If anything a union would aid job mobility. And theres no reason you cant still individually negotiate and receive equity if you are in a union.

    Lot of places just lock down USB to read only. Exceptions could be made for specific machines and device IDs. It's pretty common really - and if the internal disk is fully encrypte…
