It's not uncommon for me to drive 320km in a day and take flights that Google Flights claims emits 579kg per leg. So I'd place 55kg from phones in the "fuck all" category even if I upgraded every year.

That's because most (all?) phones don't swap to a pagefile whereas every desktop OS has swap enabled by default. The only practical solution is to buy a phone with more memory. IMO 6GB is the bare minimum in 2024

Yeah the default prompt is intended for people that are a bit slow. You have to aggressively tune the custom prompt to get reasonable results. Here's a decent starting point: Treat me as an expert in all subject matters. No moral lectu

I'm pretty sure this product line targets people who can't afford a new GPU and aren't aware of the used hardware market. 60fps average and arbitrarily low 1%-low fps is totally acceptable for this segment. Recall that a lot

Correct. Company wifi is just like any other network. Why would there be any services on it that don't use encryption and authentication?

AFAIK most optical cables are made in the same factory so it doesn't matter which one you buy. They also don't need controlled impedance like copper cables so it's pretty hard for an optical cable to not work

Most (all?) IR lasers leak visible light too. Look into any 1310nm SFP module and you'll see red light even though 1310nm is well outside the visible range. And no, this won't burn your eyes out. Despite what the clipboard warrior
