But isn't that part of why the standard is so terrible? Isn't the only way to get maximum power delivery over a Thunderbolt cable? You can probably charge a laptop over a standard cheap USB-C cable..but you might not depending on

Blame scalpers. I work on a small time website that happens to sell limited release shoes occasionally. Its almost impossible to keep the site functional during these releases because the buying bots are both aggressive and smart. They HAMM

Their support for registering 800 numbers and verifying your identity is absolute 100% trash. I've filled out their verify form many times, every time to be prompted to do it all over again months later. Over and over again. I was a HU

In Michigan now that its legal the prices have plummeted. I just saw a place advertising $100 for 2 full ounces for new recreation customers. Thats an insane deal. I'm sure its not the best stuff but its a shocking amount.

I'm in the same boat. I have no problem with the processing speed of the Mini but I want to be able to drive my 6ft of monitors on my desk. Right now I'm using a hackintosh, but I'd switch in a heartbeat if I could

I regularly see people in the scientific and engineering fields spend more than 10k on a workstation without blinking. A company I work with that does antenna design for example dropped 12k (plus a bit more) on a workstation within the last

My friends that are interested in electric vehicles (and myself) are now much more interested in the traditional car manufacturers electric vehicles. My wife is eyeing the Cadillac Lyric instead.

From looking at the comments on here it seems many people are missing the point of this device and are thinking of it as something more than what it is--which is an adapter from an old device to a modern printer. It is not a general replace

I'm aware of the things you're talking about and I also find them annoying. But I just setup a brand new Windows 11 Pro laptop and I had NO idea how bad things had gotten. By default out of the box a brand new Windows Pro install

You're extremely lucky then. On our (very large, very strictly managed Windows 10 fleet) Edge is CONSTANTLY becoming the default PDF handler. Its a real PITA and MS has failed to give admins the tools to manage this correctly. These an

Maybe we can just extend it forever and drop it. And dissolve DHS at the same time as well.

I much prefer a good black bean patty to a Beyond/Incredible patty. They smell like cat food and never sit right in my stomach.

Its a hack and ugly. But lots of system admin folks love it and between them pushing it at work and MS pushing it its hard to avoid. Its reaaaaal shitty though, especially when they enable it on someone with a huge profile and you're i

I don't heat up leftovers, I just eat them cold. But we do have a microwave (we bought it at the beginning of the pandemic so we could heat up frozen meals--we didn't have one before). I had cold leftover pasta for lunch today. My

Those docks are a mess. USB-C/Thunderbolt is an AWFUL connector for a dock. The strain on the cables (docks are always shoved in weird corners with tight turns and pressure on the cable) and the ports get worn out very fast with the st

Most of these places won't be completely destroyed. The house will mostly be there so they'll do some cosmetic repairs, repair the most obvious damage, landscaping, and then try and sell it down the road.

Thats how my department uses the cloud--we have an image we store up at AWS geared towards a couple of tasks and we spin up a big instance when we need it, run the task, pull out the results, then stop the machine. Total cost sub-100 dollar

I also work with companies that won't sell to GE (since the late 80s/early 90s) because of 1) ridiculous JIT bs with parts 2) extreme hoops to go through to get paid 3) just endless rigamarole at every step with them. It got so ba
