As somebody on a 2015 15" MBP looking to make the switch, how do you deal with things like Word/Excel documents or updating the firmware of IOT things (not mine but those of relatives) that only offer proprietary Windows and Mac u

>I do leave the batteries in. Is it dangerous? I read some time ago that it is not dangerous, but the capacity of the battery drops significantly, I don't care about capacity, and safe shutdowns are important to me. It's not ne

nice to see somebody using a thinkpad as a homeserver. I remember comparing low power homeservers, consumer NAS and a refurb Thinkpad and the latter won when considering the price/performance and idle power consumption (<5W). You al

Last time I checked the only iOS client was defunct and not even on the App Store. The issue discussing a native iOS app on github is tagged with not-our-bug. https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/102

I enjoyed Panic's polished applications since way back when but the way they simply drop paid for apps with an existing userbase due to "lack of revenue" (Status Board [1], Transmit on iOS [2], Unison [3] and Audion [4]) real

Older Haswell rMBPs can be undervolted with but it requires disabling SIP which is not recommended. Read the warnings and disclaimers and inspect the source code: https://github.com/sicreative/VoltageShift newer MBPs (

This is correct. Lower power consumption as a result of better TIM and thus lower core temperatures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poole–Frenkel_effect https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/effect-o

The new iPad Air is essentially the new A12 SoC inside the now discontinued 2017 10.5" iPad Pro. They also cut some features like the bright high refresh rate screen, the high resolution camera and the four speakers. As such there&#x27

Indeed, that's what makes the raspberry pi so hard to beat, even though I'm just a hobbyist using it as a tinker toy. If something major breaks software-wise you can be pretty sure that the rPi community is large enough to produce

I tried this with OpenVPN a while back and it was a spectacular failure because keeping the tunnel open also kept the cellular connection active and that sent battery consumption through the roof. I'm talking about 8-10 hours "sta

Agreed, Docker on Mac performance is abysmal. Writing from a container to a shared volume yields sub-10MB/s write speeds and full load on at least two cores via hyperkit. I get that translating I/O between file systems is expensiv

I think you might be describing analysis paralysis ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis ). While I can't advise you how to deal with it I find that acknowledging the tendency makes it easier to overrid

understandable, though you forgot to mention the soldered SSD. I bought another 2015 15" when it was EOL'd three months ago, put Applecare on it and passed my old 2013 down to my parents. If this one would get run over by a truck

Would it be feasible to order the model with the smallest buil tin storage and put the home (/User/*) directories on a fast external TB3 SSD?

Sure, but the authors of larger magazines typically do not get to keep (or even use) the product for their own private purposes, so they're not nearly as invested and have far less reason to be biased. I've heard many companies &q

I prefer XBMCtorrent over Popcorn-app anyway. It even supports search from within the XBMC menu, multiple trackers, can be controlled via remote on a HTPC etc. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174736 I’d gladly pay
