   Just as an FYI you can buy adapters that increase impedance on your headphones very cheaply on eBay. If you are looking to change sensitivity without changing impedance (which has some effects on sound signature), iFi makes the “Ear Buddy”

   To me, it’s obvious that the Bitcoin Cash “hash war” has been what’s triggered the fall of the 5K support level (and to me, it’s telling that 200 messages in, no one has really even mentioned it). The contentious fork has been very disrupti

   Sure #1 is what it all comes down to, but how much are you in control of the calories that you burn? You can find scientific studies as far back as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment that shows that your body tries to maintain homeostasis

   There's a lot of back on forth on this, and I think that while Ancel Keys was wrong, he now gets unfairly maligned a lot. Nutritional science is just hard. Here's an interesting writeup on how dietary fat became the bogeyman: htt

   I have my doubts on omega-3 supplementation as the amounts typically are not enough to change the omega-3:omega-6 ratios, which has been shown to have a big effect on hazard ratios for CVD. It looks like this study was for 1g of fish oil an

   I think you answered your own question - there were plenty of cheap Chinese boards out, so why bother? A big thing for these SBC manufacturers is finding the right niche they want to go for/believe they can maximize sales over the prod

    To be fair, the OP wanted a <28W TDP NUC, and honestly, I'm also a bit mystified by the question as the market is lousy with them. If you do a search for Apollo Lake NUC or SBC (6-12W) you'll get dozens of results. The followup

    The XPS 15 i9 does do a bit of throttling, but off the boost clock (it manages to mostly stick to 4GHz in the stress test that Lee shows) while the MBP i9 apparently can't even maintain the 2.9GHz base clock. That, along with perfo
