Yes, but 32GB is a lot more comfortable. Upgrading my laptop last year was a huge QoL improvement

Wait you have to be home for every delivery? How would someone with an on-site day job receive packages? In the US all carriers drop packages at door (or in the building's locker if you live in an apartment complex). Some packages nee

Well not all of them, but I'd say half my packages are delivered same-day in the bay area and most of the rest are 1 day. It depends on your shopping habits and what products are popular in your area. "essentials" like cables

They're ubiquitous, but few prefer them over the convenience of delivery to the doorstep. Buyers are never responsible for missing packages so there's little incentive to use lockers unless you're buying a secret gift or live

Dude you just replied to a comment about Amazon Lockers, one of many locker services that do exactly what you described in the US. If you combine all the companies (I dunno why you would), there's a lot more than 10 per 5 minute walk i

You still need an API for getting new codes. If you're willing to switch apps and manually generate a new code every time you order something online, you likely don't order often enough to be relevant to any e-commerce company

Are you trolling? In-garage delivery is obviously an optional feature and one that usually costs extra (Eg Walmart InHome is $20/mo)

Are any tech related conferences not like that?

That has nothing to do with the voltage/current inside the cable. You can't feel 48V on dry skin.

No, you need GDDR memory bandwidth for machine learning. Also GDDR ICs are dirt cheap. GPUs with lots of VRAM are only expensive because of price discrimination.

What if you just move your cursor in a circle? You can see each frame where the cursor is in a different position. With persistence of vision you should see twice as many cursors on a 120Hz panel compared to 60Hz. I also feel a noticably la

Have you done an eye exam recently? With 20/20 vision and no practice you should be able to see input lag up to 1000Hz by dragging any UI element around like the presenter does in this video: https://youtu.be/vOvQCPLkPt

VRR displays run at 1Hz to save battery when the display is static. Reasoning like yours is why every OS's settings page gets neutered with every update.

Interesting. I wonder why anyone would turn ProMotion off considering that 120Hz massively improves responsiveness. I've only encountered one app that doesn't work with variable refresh rate and that's Genshin on Windows. Eve

Not sure if you missed my point. 3x 4090 will be 10x faster while costing the same. There's no point making the comparison. (Assuming both machines are running the same model. I see a lotta crazy numbers thrown around based on comparin

Why the H100? Comparing against similarly priced consumer gear (3x 4090) makes a lot more sense, but I think you already know that one of these systems has an order of magnitude better perf/$ than the other

Cascade encryption is pretty common. I remember using 3 ciphers with TrueCrypt in the 2000s. There are some theoretical issues that prevent you from using cipher1(cipher2(x)) though. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu
