    The 6900HS in the 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14 has a default boosting behavior that keeps it at 95°C most of the time (on the user's lap). It might have a liquid metal thermal interface.…

    I made this switch over the last year and can second the recommendation. If you like Ubuntu, you actually like Debian and just put up with Ubuntu.

    We need to better define exactly who's tracking we need to get around. I agree that DoH is a better solution to being tracked by your ISP.

    Maybe I misunderstood what this does. Is unbound not sending requests to the ISP in this case?

    The author states that pihole sending requests to 8.8.8.8 (Google) is worse than sending requests to your ISP. I disagree. I have always had terrible experiences with Comcost's DNS…

    Apple's "turn off Bluetooth" is more of a temporary pause on connecting to devices. It turns itself back on after some time.

    I just went through the Simple -> BBVA -> PNC transition. Yesterday when I installed the PNC app on my Pixel, I got the warning that I would need to allow storage access. But then …

    The high end 3000 series cards use a faster, more expensive, proprietary kind of memory from Micron. Even with a little less memory capacity, bandwidth is still probably higher. I …

    Could a model be trained to predict the prompt given to GPT3 based on the responses?

    It's probably a sweet spot between adding more CU's versus cache. Given their memory bandwidth is lower, alleviating that with cache makes more sense than adding more CU's.
