Isn't that 20Ah figure always relative to the internal voltage of the lithium batteries, 3.7v? At least that's what I always assumed.

It's very unlikely they would do that. They might be making decently repairable devices in a specific generation but if they release guides people will expect it in future generations too, and I doubt any company wants to hold themselv

Heat pipes are one dimensional (a pipe), vapor chambers are two dimensional (a square chamber). Most vapor chambers I've seen on GPUs have the chamber attached to lots of small heat pipes on the side though (they even note this in arti

It's understandable why you would need to do that. I'm not against subscriptions in cases like this. From my side as a customer, here's what I would need to see before supporting you: 1. A one off payment to own the current v

You could use an LLM to give you advice on how to present that take in a more constructive manner. Partially sarcastic but I do personally use LLMs to guide my communication in very limited cases: 1. It's purely business related, and 2

My take on the health benefits of coffee or tea is that it's probably nothing to do with the caffeine, and a lot to do with antioxidants. Both of these drinks are high in antioxidants, and the typical modern diet is low, so for a lot

I wouldn't gave a major problem with this if the algorithms were tuned to my benefit. In fact, I probably prefer it since most of the web is noise that I don't need to see. So the problem isn't algorithmic content, it's

This sounds very much like the first steps towards a mindfulness practice. Which will probably be good for many aspects of your life, but not necessarily procrastination, as doing (and thinking) nothing becomes a goal in itself.

This is at least partially a failure in publication. Once a paper is published, it's usually left up in the same state forever. If it fails to replicate, that data is published somewhere else. So when someone references the paper, and

I daily drive Ubuntu on this laptop. It has issues, but the Nvidia GPU is not one of them. Times have changed. If you don't like a dGPU in a laptop, that's fine. But people have different needs. I travel a lot and do 3d content cr

Well, I do play games on my laptops. But that's just a nice perk, what I bought them for is 3d content creation. Also, comparing a steamdeck to a modern gaming laptop is like comparing a $1 water pistol to a super soaker.

I've owned two gaming laptops and never had issues like this. First one was a Clevo (rebranded as Medion) with a GTX 970m that I bought in 2017. An absolute beast, I lugged it in a backpack around the world for 4 years, including to pl

You can rotate (in 90 degree increments) and mirror jpgs losslessly. I assume it doesn't require much ram or compute since you're just reordering the blocks. https://www.betterjpeg.com/lossless-rotation.htm

I'm sure there's very good reasoning but I've never been able to convince myself of it - why does EXIF transform metadata exist? If you're taking a selfie, why doesn't the camera itself perform a simple rotation or

What gave you the idea they are foreign? On the contrary, it's relatively hard to open a bank in Vietnam as a foreigner. This is because Vietnam is in the process of a massive modernization of their banking and tax system. They introdu

A pikapod with 2vcpus, 8gb of ram, and 1tb of storage is $200 a year. That's not too bad, but it's the maximum amount of storage so if you need to go over that you would have to attach separate storage (if that's possible).
