8th Gen iPad is about the same on iPadOS 26 as 18 for me, which is slow. The 32GB really handicapped it for even being usable as to even upgrade it, I have to factory reset it first. I'm replacing it with a Mini. The iPad Air 13 with a

I have literally done this many years ago. Not a Cisco 2960 or anything fancy, just a dumb 802.3af PoE switch.

Yes. I was iffy on contrast, but after a day I made the same change on all my devices. I decided i really like well defined borders on things.

Yes, no idea what I was thinking when I typed that. I've used both extensively, in fact this message was sent over a PoE enabled WiFi AP.

Eh. Not really anymore. Except at extreme latitudes, solar + battery now beats Nuclear on year round cost and especially on time to installation. It's only going to get more stark as time passes.

For PoE you want two networks for the best performance. One for each phase of your mains. In general they do suck, but they can be pretty decent if you stick them all on one phase, even better if all on the same breaker.

They're meeting the EU regulations and selling the entry level electric for €23k in Germany. I can't attribute their lack of presence in the US market to them when their cars face a 100% tariff.

The solution is already here. ISPs roll out CGNAT for IPv4, but their networks are dual stack, so the client devices have real IPv6 connectivity as well as IPv4 through a NAT. It's not great, but for 99% of consumers, they can't t

I find it interesting that there was no mention of Fahrenheit 451, the very reason they picked that number. They did at least put a thanks to Ray Bradbury.

Run near a saltwater source without AC and that will happen.

As much as I am a proponent of nuclear, it's time has past. It's already non-competitive with solar + battery for any new start builds. I doubt a single commercial installation would exist of these microreactors before battery and

Similar design is a Ugreen Nexode 45 watt charger[0]. Folding prongs, May be ever so slightly larger. I just purchased one for an upcoming trip. 0: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Foldable-Charger-Support-Com...

Next to, not behind. I see a strong future for both Waymo and Tesla in the driverless car biz. Tesla is probably a year behind on their software, but they can scale out infinitely faster than Waymo on the hardware. Either way, we win.

Apple has been iterating IPC as well as increasing core count. The Ultra is a pair of Max chips. While the core counts didn't increase from M3 to M4 Max, overall performance is in the neighborhood of 5-25% better. Which still puts the

I used to have an extremely negative view on all this serial number pairing that Apple does, then I found out why. Within mainland China, Apple was facing fraud of having their devices purchased, stripped for genuine parts, and then rebuilt

Elastic might be fine in the long run. But everyone I know(sample size <20 orgs) migrated to OpenSearch and never looked back. They were never interested in running Elastic in a separate cloud or running it themselves, and that's wh

On my 2021 Nissan Kicks, the volume knob is the only play/pause button. It's not a mute button only, it does pause your media coming through CarPlay. Also, this is my last Nissan. I have been thoroughly disappointed with the super

The difference is the demand for paperclips is already met. Each additional paperclip is almost pure waste of resources. The demand for silicon, even outside AI is not, and advances in silicon are going to benefit pretty much every industry

Things like this and sites wanting microfonts make me glad that reader mode exists that can strip all the styling. Reader mode exposes the image as an inline element you can easily tap to expand, then pinch to zoom.

Athlon era when AMD had no IHS but Intel had one. Intel also had thermal controls that AMD lacked. I once worked on a piece of equipment that was running awful slow. The CPU was just not budging from its base clock of 700Mhz. As I was remo

Usually you just CNAME it. You can cname _acme-challenge.foo.com to foo.bar.com. Now, if when you do the DNS challenge, you make a TXT at foo.bar.com with the challenge response, through CNAME redirection, the TXT record is picked up as if

32GB is official, but 48GB works just fine. 64GB SODIMMs are now available and there are multiple reports of them working fine with the N305[0]. It is highly likely that it will work fine with the N100 as well. 0: https://www.red

This is largely not an issue thanks to ACME which they spearheaded. You can use multiple providers as backup options. Also, you have days to weeks of slack time for renewals. The only real impact is trying to issue new certs if you are sole

I have purchased multiple devices like this over the years. In all cases, it is that it doesn't have whatever circuitry is required to have a USB-C PD charger send 5v down the line. Using a USB A to C cable works every time. Ironicall

GPUs are quite easy to repaste. Just order the correct replacement thermal pads in advance and the whole thing is easy.

I enjoyed it a lot, especially the audio book. I'm not sure how much I would have enjoyed the print version. I can't say much more without spoilers, but the sound effects really make the drama come to life.
