    I'm still using an OG Gen1 64GB iPad for movies/etc when traveling. The battery does just fine and easily survives watching a full movie or two.

    You should be able to do a 2gig + 4gig stick combo. That's what I have in my 2008 Macbook pro, it runs 6GB just fine.

    While the battery is glued down with adhesive, you can just soak it in some 91-99% isopropyl and that adhesive dissolves quite rapidly and the battery can be pulled right out. I ha…

    You can definitely buy the battery only, at least for the S21 Ultra, as I just went through that. https://www.ifixit.com/products/galaxy-s21-ultra-replacement...

    Now you just have to write a playbook/role that sings to you as it executes through tasks... Audible feedback during execution would be cool for some things.

    They have been putting features back into it each update though. We finally have the ability to ungroup open task bar entries again/etc.

    IOPS are not throughput at all... throughput can't even be calculated until you factor in the size of the I/O request. You can have 1M IOPS at 5MB/sec if your blocks of data are sm…
