    You have to first identify and ensure the two devices and their ports are capable of reliably creating and absorbing that data rate too or you'll never know if it's the cable or th…

    Buy nice cables from a trusted brand and bin anything else. You're going to be overpaying though because there's not a lot of reason to be powering your laptop with a 480 Gbps TB 4…

    What's broken about the scroll? For me it acts like basically any other scrolling presentation design used on hundreds of different websites.

    There are plenty of reasons to be against datacenters and I see some people trying to say the possibility that it's foreign influence illegitimates the opposition.

    I saw a lot of people saying various things along the lines of "not running strangers code on my machine" and some "you should serve me the site working even if JS is disabled". Th…

    It's optimizing for different environments and opponents, the speed runs only have to deal with the AI not human players and take such crazy paths the AI isn't around to really mes…

    Bank scams mostly trick the user into making a transfer or having their credentials stolen somehow and very rarely directly hack the bank which is more like what this attack is doi…

    That's the issue with granting the government more surveillance powers, you can never trust it will only be used 'properly' and more and more in the US the Supreme Court is tearing…

    Basically sounds like a hobo version of PCI-e hotswapping which is a thing on enterprise motherboards but not many consumer boards. Also depends on if the board can actually power …

    Newer houses yes probably have the overhead. We put in a charger for my wife (because she drives 100 miles a day we needed a pretty beefy level 2) and had to replace our whole pane…

    They're pretty specific to the datacenter use case with no outputs and they need to be cooled externally, principally through the very loud high speed fans used in data centers. I …

    The big question becomes, does a Steam Deck owner buy enough more to make up the subsidy or do they buy about the same as they would have without buying the Deck? For consoles ther…

    A lot of the competitors have had to raise prices too, Legion Go 2 is now nearly 2 grand for the Z2 Extreme version. It's hard to do a loss leader model in the PC space because the…

    They're not really making any money when they close out their short position. The money came when they first opened the short position and sold the shares. When they close they jus…

    You're missing the cost to borrow on the stock which is a daily fee to continue borrowing the stock.

    No, I can do both but absorb much better when I internal monologue it but can read much faster when I don't. Some people don't internal monologue it at all. If you're in the market…
