For desktops, i would say it was the 2nd gen of the core i series(2xxx, like the 2500k). For laptops, definitely the original retina macbook pro in 2012. I'm still using that machi…

It's always, always been terrible on android. It's to the point i almost think it's intentional for some "influencers use iOS" sort of reason. It works just as terribly on current …

Check out "Thai Tom", it's more the style you're thinking of and very, very good. Expect to stand in a big line though

My snarky answer is use an MVNO that will both show up as the base carrier to any searching online/number lookups, and has completely useless clueless terrible support that either …

Like amazon et al, any chargeback ever results in a permanent lifetime ban with no appeal from these services

This idea fails because it would would require the driver to report the mess while driving, which is illegal use of your phone in a lot of places. They'd need to come up with a big…

This is still a huge target. I used to be in point of sale engineering, and the majority of the quality terminals the big OEMs(NCR and their sub brands, posiflex, etc) were pushing…

Points 4 and 8 also combine here. The new "green" garbage trucks the vendor in my city has begun using are so INCREDIBLY loud. Even just the engine noise from them. The PTO and gea…

This is kind of what they did, "Epic Launcher" installs it and keeps it up to date. It seems to be something like steam/origin/etc but for android

The solution here is inverter drive appliances. I had a cheapo but great thrift store inverter microwave. My cheapo junk 3000w inverter could run it off a few hundred Ah of batteri…

Yup, there's a reason even POE is 48 volt in a lot of applications

Inverter drive home AC systems that are reasonably priced do exist, you can get a mini split for under $1000 now with variable drive compressor and fans. I was shocked last time i …

I usually direct people to the 2014 and 15 ones of these, as someone still rocking a 2012. The newer ones run so much cooler and the GPU performance bumps were nice. They aren't ev…

Honestly the worst one is the macbook, which is ostensibly the "macbook air with retina display" everyone was dreaming of, has ONE. We're never getting another macbook air, this is…

it befuddles me that they didn't do this after the success of the 2012 13in macbook, which soldiered on for YEARS of the retina models. They kept the 2015 15in pro for a year or tw…

This skips/avoids another really important but bs thing they do: Reviews that mention counterfeits ALWAYS get pulled. Seemingly by some automated system, even. It's like a forbidde…

This one seems to be random. I've had them insist i ship a fucking mattress back

Does anyone believe there's another core duo type massive leap out there to even be had this time around though? AMD is going to slowly pull a bit ahead of intel, especially in ban…

The interesting thing here is all the "big" games in the past few years have had fairly modest requirements(MOBA stuff, fortnite, etc). It's been a while since there was a huge blo…

That's a bug that's been around for AGES that they still haven't patched. I hate it. If you force kill the app and reopen it, suddenly you can choose songs(usually). Then after a w…

There's something to this theory, as switching airplane mode off and on usually results in a usable connection. This is still completely unacceptable behavior though, and i haven't…

Yup, and it's "working as normal". This poor reception is shared by friends who have the intel X

I have an X on tmobile and it's abjectly terrible. I had a 6S+ before it. In the same location, on the same network, it will drop signal or become unusable and gets lower reception…

I wasn't a huge fan of them growing up in Seattle either, but the new ones are so much better. They have lithium batteries, a few miles of off-wire range, and auto-detach/reattach …

It does require this, they're simply using fraudulent or re-used/edited/internet sources photos
