> Is that really worth it to get back what I would assume is on average a 3 year old laptop? Do you then re-issue this old, used gear to your new hires? It depends on the device. A 3 year old M1 MBP is virtually identical to an almost br

Servers piss away power at idle because they're not designed for low idle power consumption. I personally just a regular PC desktop because I need the expansion slots. But SFF PCs are amazing home servers, and have more than enough pow

Positive negative and meh is my preferred. Some things aren’t great, but were cheap enough to justify it. Maybe make it a really tiny box in the middle that you need to zoom in to click to encourage mostly positive or negative reviews.

They're much better than verizon who will just terminate your line with maybe a little bit of heads up. We found out the hard way when they terminated our line after having a sim card in a non volte phone for about a week, and didn&#x2

You don't fall back to the actual 2g connection. You're supposed to fall back to 2g speeds aka 128kbps or 256kbps. You'll still be connected to LTE towers, just at painfully slow speeds.

4k displays are peanuts these days. A Mac mini + a 4k display would cost about the same as an iMac. But in a few years when the mac mini is useless you can keep the same display. Or if you buy a nicer mini then you can get a nicer display l

My biggest issue with the 4k iMac is that it's highest scaling option (smallest elements) is less than what you get on a regular 4k display. The iMac I belive is capped at "looks like 2560x1600" while my 4k display "look

I don't understand why more device don't have ambient light sensors built into them. Phones have been doing this amazingly for 15+ years but almost no displays do. I think I saw a TV a while back that did, but that's 1 out of
