The C30 64GB kits are nearly impossible to buy now, so, well done. Got one in September '23 for ~$380 AUD, on the rare occasions it's available today it's been over $1600 AUD. I up…

I have about 14 or 15 USB devices in addition to my 4 monitors, and whilst I'm sure you're right I'm very happy to have a high quality soundcard that is not part of that mix.

Yup the 4090 and SoundBlaster ZXR in my AM5 7800X3D system would both like to upvote your reply.

I use the speed chime in my Model 3 car to alert me if I'm more than 2 km/h over the posted speed limit, which it infers from its database with the autopilot camera providing overr…

The idea discussed in the article was one of progressive overload; slowly make your body adapt to an ever increasing workload. Don't go straight for the 200kg deadlift when you are…

The endpoint stuff kills laptop performance. I left my previous job and they let me keep my X1 Nano (1st gen; 16GB memory) which was performing abysmally towards the end. Deleted a…

I missed that - thanks!

Would it kill them to let me specify my own username, as it appears in `c:\users\$username` ?

MyUXG Max has DHCP, and for my attached devices if I specify a static IP I get the option to set a Local DNS record. There's no central management of these records that I'm aware o…

Yeah I like to take photos of my cast iron cooking with my S25U, on a black induction glass surface - and I find myself swapping to Pro mode all the time as the colour temperature …

I started with PageStream on the Amiga then later went to Publisher on the PC; I used both of them heaps , primarily for print - got myself a HP LaserJet 4P which was just glorious…

Bit off topic, but if you ever travel into Australia never don't declare that package of chips. It could easily turn into your most expensive bag ever. All food items simply _must_…

I'm very pleased to see this sentiment, as a father of a 14 year old boy. 4 years ago I decided to quit alcohol altogether (from a moderate by Australian standards consumption), an…

It's crazy to see big companies doing dodgy stuff like this.

The 7800X3D is absolutely awesome. That L3 cache is God-tier. At barely any power consumption whatsoever. (Compared to Intel CPUs at the time of release).

True! I realise that I left it unsaid in the numbers. Granted, herz for herz my DDR4 3600-CL16 had even better latencies than my DDR5 (4.44ns vs 5.00nz) - but for overall performan…

Yeah, it's useless.

My DDR4 was C16, but my DDR5 at C30 makes up for that with sheer speed. Currently sporting this - G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Black 64GB (2x32GB) PC5-48000 (6000MHz) with a 7800x3d.…

The antithesis of discipline, what could possibly go wrong living your life this way?

Yeah I got the Signature Edition of the Paperwhite 11 with their black leather cover, and it's just brilliant. It was a huge step up from the 10 that went before it in every regard…

It's been a minute since then, I've been in Australia for the past two decades as well - and yup, the trend is bad almost everywhere. Having read (well, listened to) Attia's excell…

Still remember my first time ever setting afoot in USA, Newark airport coming from Norway, in 1999, going to a tech conference. I saw more grossly obese people at that airport in t…

(I only cook with extra virgin olive oil which I buy in 5L cans for $$ reasons. A lot of these vegetable oils are good for motor engines only!). It really depends on you and the ac…

Hypertension is more dangerous than smoking, I read - as I was shocked to discover I had let it slide massively at my last attempt to donate blood at Australia Red Cross. Fast forw…

"Everyone" piles on Tesla all the time; a worthwhile comparison would be how Tesla roll out vehicle updates. Sometimes people are up in arms "where's my next version" (eg when adap…
