I use it. It lets me keep my hands on the home row, which is great when I need to alternate between clicking and typing. And the pointing stick is great ergonomically, if you're using your laptop in any kind of mobile setting. You don&

I don't get it. Apple went all-in with USB-C on their computers (starting 5 years ago with the macbook pro). And that was a pretty unpopular decision at the time. Now that the mobile phone industry has standardized on USB-C, they wan

To be fair, the subscription also means that the company is more likely to stay around and keep their products working. Given that your paying Helm to handle all the PITA aspects of home servers, it seems reasonable to me. This is coming

FWIW, I live in a pretty cold climate (dips below -30C every year) where a lot of people do use heat pumps. They just lose efficiency at low temps and have to rely on resistive heating. AC is not very common, so that might play a factor. Th

Perhaps you can clear this up? I still don't understand how Yotta bank intends to earn money. Not just to stay afloat, but also pay for the unprecedented interest rates of its savings accounts. Seems like another growth now, profit la

For mobile computing, there's no comparison IMO. With a touchpad, you have to shuffle your hands to the palmrest area to move the mouse. If your machine is on your lap, that might put your hands in a quite unergonomic position. And it

One drawback that I haven't seen mentioned yet, is single-wheel torque. If you look at the video, there is a pretty sizeable motor that's even geared down with a sprocket an chain. So there is a lot of torque and power available,

What you're missing, is that Steam's heavily discounted sales exist because the games cannot be resold. Just compare Steam to the market for new/used console games. That is to say, the situation you're describing shoul

My mistake.. maybe I assumed because of that 1.5 TB memory capacity.

You can't really compare that build to a mac pro. On the low end, you're mostly paying for the platform : - Full-sized, machined metal case - *Huge*, complex, dual-socket Xeon motherboard - 12 memory slots, 6 memory chan

> Typically, people would go for an 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. eating window This is something I don't get. After sleeping 8h, you're in a fasted state, having done the "hard part" that is not eating for several hours. So break

SunsetScreen is good if you live at an extreme latitude. Don't know if this has been addressed in recent updates, last time I used flux it wanted to start dimming my screen at 18.00 in the winter and close to midnight in the summer. At

Maybe it's just me, but it always seems like a cash grab whenever a company updates its prices and allows customers to prepay x amount for the old price. Why not offer a discount, or coupon code instead? Not saying that I disagree with

True. I'm guessing there's some unknown circumstance that makes the ease-of-access benefit outweigh any security risks. It wouldn't surprise me if the number was leaked on purpose. To get people calling the station, to obfusc

I think this is more a problem to do with motherboard manufacturers than AMD. The manufacturers decide which boards get a Ryzen 3000 stamp of approval, and BIOS support. Though maybe AMD should have been more stringent about their motherboa

Maybe I'm missing something, but PCIe Gen4 does seem like a big deal since it's effectively doubling the data rate of the previous gen. Meaning, once all/most of your peripherals are PCIe 4 compatible, you'll theoretic

That's obviously the most elegant, best solution. But the time for such is long past. It's clear that humanity will not stop consuming, and expecting endless growth. At least for a few generations. In the short term, we need any w

What you're saying is a bit misleading. Headphones do not inherently damage hearing. What's damaging, is listening to them at a high volume. This might occur if you're in a noisy environment, and use headphones with poor is

So much misinformation in this thread. Voltage, current, and resistance are physical properties entirely dependent on each other -- increasing one affects the value of others. That's like saying that the mass of bullets kills people, w

Though I'm a big proponent of pure electric vehicles, we should be acknowledging that they're still a large source of carbon emissions from manufacturing and in some cases electricity used. The most desirable option would be to mo

You can get industrial microSD cards for not that much money. Mouser has a couple models with MLC flash for under 20 EUR. E.g. SDSDQAF3-016G-XI

I agree. No idea why they went with micro-hdmi, when mini displayport is more robust, more common, and royalty-free.

Not to mention, that this is a single benchmark from an unknown source. Without knowing what system the benchmark was run on, I would hesitate to draw any conclusions. Thermal performance matter a lot with modern CPU's -- better coolin
