At $300/400 for the 15/21 respectively they are most definitely breaking even or turning a good profit on this.

Given the stance on submission with paywalled content being ok, I don't think HN would ban userwalled content. While I highly disagree with this, there have been many discussions about it before and nothing has changed so far.

Pantum is exactly such a company, I cannot comment on the quality of the printers as I still went with a refurbished Brother.

What about MXM GPUs that used to be found in gaming laptops? I know the standard is very niche and thus expensive ($400 for a 3080M used on ebay) but it does exists and you could convert them to PCI-E and thus m.2

I've looked into using SBCs for a DIY a lot, if you're fine with no hotswap and 4 disk then it's doable on the cheap. Since I wanted more than 4 drives and hotswap I gave up and ended up looking for a dedicated NAS. The issu

Likely that it was over 3x the price of the Quest 2 and while it had better hardware it mostly felt like an incremental update. Part of this is definitely because not enough software took advantage of the new hardware it had (i.e. eye trac

I imagine the cost of official parts such as the screens for flagships like the Fold 5 are still going to be very expensive. Even if you need to only replace a simple/cheap part it will likely be a major pain that requires removal of t

Why not get a minipc with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS or Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU? Both of those have an integrated Radeon 780M GPU which should be better than steamdeck. Price wise they will be come out similar. The HX99G is more expensive than somet

I think the reverse of this kind of exists in the from of Bluetooth to 3.5mm receivers. The one I have and most I've seen support two connections so I can have both PC and laptop output sound on some speakers. You could probably chain

It's unfortunate but unless you're willing to spend quite a bit of money (or are willing to forgo compactness) these are hard to find especially for 3.5" drives. Radxa did have the Taco and Mediasonic does make compact 4&#x2F

I'm really not sure that you'll get that much power savings. Given the idle consumption of a drive is ~6W I'm actually surprised my 10 year old server/NAS only consumes about 110W for a system with 10 drives, 10GBase-T,

Because recurring revenue vs no revenue or one time revenue is hard to pass up as a business. I do think cloud based sharing/features do have their place in a tool like this however.

It's weird seeing no mention of Graylog anywhere here which is slightly different but I've found much easier to use in smaller setups. Unfortunately I have no idea what enterprise cost ends up looking like.

10Gbe can be pretty cheap ($30 for X540) PC side with used hardware (SFP mostly and not multigig however). Even generic PCIe cards can add a RJ45 10G multigig port for ~$50. The switch/router side is where I find it gets expensive.

Anytime I want try out some ML stuff I run into this driver and app version hell. Have you given Docker a try? I'm considering going this route for portability reasons but don't know if it will actually help.

Are you able to memory pool two 3090s for 48gb and if so what's your setup? I looked into this previously[1] but wasn't super confident it's possible or what hardware is required (2x x8 pcie and official SLI support?). AFAICT

I'm not being dismissive of the technology, the initial NeRF papers that came out were really interesting and showed something new. It's this particular paper that I don't find that interesting given the amount of data they

Given their setup of 120 to 160 cameras to capture the performances, the results seem kinda just "meh". While it's neat that they were able to generate 3D models from all that data, it's also not very surprising. Maybe

I could be totally off, but would it be possible to use fast storage such as multiple m.2 SSDs on an addin card like the Apex Storage X21/HighPoint SSD7540/ASRock Blazing Quad M.2 Card? If latency is of high priority these options

I also assumed the lidar is a complete placebo having owned the P1P and seeing how well it prints with PLA plus looking at available lidar sensors and their accuracy but maybe it does work? Would love to get a teardown on what components it

Parts for it are available from the manufacturer for decent prices. I've looked at some of the repair guides and they seem decently detailed.

I just tried it out with headphones (Phone > HDMI/USB Hub > USB A to C adapter > google usb c to 3.5mm adapter) and it seems to work. It would be interesting to test it with the $<5 USB sound cards but I don't have on

So our end goals are kind of the opposite. I wanted a setup that I can plug in once and not fiddle with ever which is why I wanted everything wired all the way. My hardware investigation also occurred because I noticed that scrcpy fails to

Of course it's exploitative, but I do see a longer grace period helping alleviate the pressure that such visa holders would face. I'm surprised that FAANG companies haven't really offered subsidized housing as long as the emp

If you want to go down a rabbit hole and your device that supports it, you can gain additional benefits by using an HDMI/USB dongle and then capture the output of that using a capture card. You can then get a device that has OTG capab

To be fair, I do think they were referring to Sony Online Entertainment. However I do admit I have no idea why as using Sony would have been understood just as well.

I thought colab pro gave 500 credits per month but if you used them all up you'd need to buy more. Is that not the case?
