Thanks for the link. I've got a Legacy that's had a 'weak' battery for a while now and it seems like it may coincide with this 3g sunsetting..

That's the original intent, but there's nothing stopping you from enabling it whenever to try to get the absolute max possible out of your battery. Low power mode does sacrifice quite a bit of functionality by default though. Pers

It's just one of many great aspects for such a capable device. They also run very cool and are effectively silent even when the fan DOES eventually turn on for a sustained max load. By comparison, every Windows/Intel laptop I&#x27

Err, mobility? M1 / M2 Pro MBPs pack a serious punch... and they don't have to sacrifice battery life to do so - they smoke virtually all other laptops in terms of battery life.

Similar climate here, although days it gets below -10f / -23c are uncommon. Most winter days in a climate like this you could heat with a modern/high tech heat pump, but: - It's probably going to be more expensive than heatin

Exactly. People shouldn't have to worry about their car being a serious privacy risk. Video footage being shared with/accessible by Tesla should be strictly opt-in - especially for "sentry mode", which is the most likely

Yep, Twitter is currently enjoying this effect of having no "close 2nd" choice for their user base to defect to.

Yes, please! We need alternatives to the social media giants that are now obviously bent on monetization and other, shadier motives. Moves like this are what caused the huge Digg -> Reddit exodus that significantly boosted Reddit's

Nice to see proof that, while still quite loud to the user, multiple tested battery blowers fall off to reasonable levels by the time you get to 100-200ft which is a pretty typical distance for neighbors in a lot of areas. Key takeaway rega

To throw a similar experience into the mix... I agree on all counts, particularly around silence & efficiency - especially on the MBPs where the fans will actually turn off when not needed. I've been a long time Windows user (20+ y

It's mind boggling how they just decided to throw basically any semblance of security completely out the window by putting NFC on credit cards for convenience.

Essentially, environmental/safety checklists... but it seems unlikely they'll get browbeaten because they're pretty critical to US space superiority.

This has been my experience so far as well. GPT4All feels pretty fragile with all its dependencies.

Anyone here who's used both this and GPT4All? Any thoughts/input on how they compare?

IMO, yes. I used octoprint for 3+ years before switching to Mainsail a month or two ago. Seems more polished, and haven't had as many problems with updates/slow updates as I did with OctoPrint. Probably won't go back.
