There is a sad parallel to Wikimedia Foundation, rooted in the same argument: We don't know the correct price. These entities are effectively monopolies with no competitors, and there is no public negotiation on what the annual budge

I have a watercooled workstation (don't ask), and one day I made it spin up the pump when the chips heat up. I believe it goes from 17% pwm to 18% whenever any chip is more than 15°C warmer than the water. Changes nothing, and you woul

I was tempted to do that with my first-gen Intel MacBook because it just wouldn't run quiet when idle, that is until I discovered by how much I could undervolt that chip with a random tool that I could just download. I believe I went f

The problem isn't the the translation isn't done well enough, but rather its underhanded nature that tries to sell a translated website as a genuine discussion.

Really depends on what material you're pushing. PLA is not strong and doesn't like to warm up in the sun, Silk PLA (made to just look nice on the shelf) can even be brittle. But there are better materials. PETG is entirely reasona

Normal people use jpeg. It's good enough, much like mpeg-2 was good enough for DVDs. Compatibility always beats storage efficiency. Photography nerds will religiously store raw images that they then never touch. They're like compl

We first had that discussion some 10 years ago. They're not taking the world by storm, we know that much. They are a worse variant of the fireworks we know, but they're different enough to be something else. Cost and regulatory ov

Or get a 3090 24 GB off eBay for 700€ and run mistral, devstral, qwen3 and others indefinitely. I'm a big fan of two-tier systems where the 90% case is taken on by something cheap, and renting the premium tier. Works for cars, server h

Old laptop cells are going to need a lot more babysitting than a new LiFePO4 rackmount battery. Those generally do pretty well with the internal monitoring that they bring. Semiconductor fuse as overcurrent protection, passive balancing and

I mean, there are also still radio amateurs out there, but the hobby has seriously lost appeal with the arrival of the internet. And the crowd that you're a part of is not growing either.

Nowadays, most people who say astrophotography don't mean Deep Sky photography, hunting planets, nebula and galaxies. It's mostly the sky over a wide-angle landscape. "Astrophotography" happens at < 20mm. Totally viab

I am still wondering what money it was that predominantly went into crypto. Lots of retail investors lucked out between Tesla stock and BTC, but that can't account for all of it. I suspect a lot of shady money coming in from outside th

Hence 'mid-term'. Lots of new money taking refuge there, but it won't be for long. Harder and harder to be on the winning side in this overall.

What I'm always missing with these takes is the "what if" component. Nobody really dares to paint the whole picture in articles like this. Authors seem to go as far as to find the moral infraction, and then stop. But that doe

Orwell said it better than I could, naturally. My point isn't that the professions can be traced back to origins in other languages. Nor do I mind a lingua franca for a scientific discipline. My gripe is that jargon, colloquial use a
