I actually bought a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, pretty much for the same reasons as you listed. The lead times for usual contenders were too high and the G14 was easy to get with the specs I wanted. If it makes you feel any better about your pur

The things you have listed minimize the impact of network latency, they don't affect the rendering performance which is still a big deal. Apps that need to render large amounts of data still kind of suck, you'll see many apps &quo

I mean that one is pretty easy; 'a1null' , first thing is a string so it'll try to concatenate with 1, coerce 1 to a string and get 'a1' then same thing will null. Makes perfect sense ;p

It's like looking both ways when crossing the road despite the light telling you that you can go. Sure you have right of way and if a car hits you, it's their fault. But at the end of the day, you are the one getting hit by the ca

So it's been many years since I looked at this stuff, but the reason for higher sample rate isn't to do with humans being able to hear over 20khz. If you sample at 44khz you need a high pass filter at 22khz to avoid aliasing. Sinc

Is it theft? If you go by the whole "code is law" (is that still a popular catch phrase? I don't keep up with crypto much anymore), then this is not theft. The contract let this happen, so it's legal. Edit: heh, I see a

Depending on how far off the deep-end you want to go, you can look into: peptides (BPC-157, TB-500), Human Growth Hormone and Platelet-Rich Plasma injections (PRP). There might be more stuff out there now, it's been a few years since I
