That's the wrong SKU, it's actually Haswell/Broadwell and 4c8t, not 2c4t: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/92983/i...

I'd get that if it was a full desktop build, however in this case it's an off-the-shelf barebone that you plug two standard things into - but to each their own I guess.

Hm, that's fair enough for a more complex desktop build in my opinion (except for the unfortunate fact that you often end up with paying a premium for worse hardware that way), but in this case the NUC is an off-the-shelf standard bare

OOI, why System76 for those? As far as I can tell they're just off-the-shelf NUCs, and System76 are ~$200 more for a sensible spec than buying the NUC, some RAM and a good NVMe drive yourself. How do you find them for noise? I had an 8

I've scanned through the Lenovo site as an example and I can't find anything AMD with a display larger than 1920x1080 (at least on the UK site)...

Hm, that's not available on Lenovo's UK store that I can find :( Maybe it's also a regional issue. edit: or the US store? shows me a T14 Gen 2 (AMD) - Up to AMD Ryzen™ 7 Pro 5850U Processor, Up to 14.0" FHD (1920 x 1080)

For me, it's all about text. I spend my whole day staring at text in some form - email, code, etc. A good high DPI display creates a much better text shape for the same physical size text on screen (and doesn't have as much of an

Is there some hardware limitation of AMD Ryzen laptop processors that prevents a high-res display? Every time I see one of these laptops (like the recent HP linux laptop, etc), I think they look really interesting except that I wish they ha

I have a Caldigit TS3 Plus dock that I've used with a 2018 15" MBP, a 2019 16" MBP and a M1 Max MBP. External monitor support has been pretty reliable on both - moreso on the M1 Max than the 2019 or 2018 one. I drive two exte

Firefox improved this a fair amount a while ago now - by moving to CoreAnimation for a bunch of their rendering? I find Chrome absolutely murders the battery life of my work 16" MBP, though.

I don't see it as that. I see it as Google will use the same techniques they used for desktop to aggressively push Chrome regardless of technical merit - aggressive banners & popups on their own web properties, user-agent based blo

It's a bit unhelpful to mix in things that third parties (developers/publishers) have done with Nintendo's own behaviour here - the fan patch/translation thing was Square Enix, wasn't it? The quality of the Diablo 2

I don't agree with you on these points - my experience of console/PC gaming vs phone/tablet gaming is that phone/tablet gaming experiences tend to be very shallow drop in/out experiences compared to what is availabl

Really? They've sold >107 million units of the Switch/Switch lite/Switch OLED so far. That makes the Switch one of the best selling consoles ever made - it beats the Wii, the original PlayStation, the PS3, the GBA. It&#x27

I only really use it for the VM features and for occasionally doing software updates, but those work reliably for me on Bullseye at least. edit: (it was fine on buster too) I've not tried it on Ubuntu at all - I've not used ubuntu

I use Cockpit on isolated Debian Bullseye VM hosts to provide a UI to libvirt. It's very nice for that - it's minimalist, it doesn't get in the way of anything you want to do manually, and it doesn't wreck your VM config

You can host your own email. I have been hosting my own for at least 15 years now, and I don't have big issues - I can deliver email to MS, gmail, et al. Pick a decent hosting provider (not the cheapest options around!), make sure you

I'm super happy to see fq_codel and cake in actual consumer/prosumer hardware now - I've gone from needing a fairly power hungry x86 box as my home router to cope with 1000/115 + pppoe + cake to being able to use a much

If you run `ip addr show`, you should be able to see. For me, that shows: 2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000

Huh, I stand corrected :) I did not realise that the CRS line was using MIPS so much still! The CRS switches I have handy are all using the integrated dual ARM cores. edit: I assume those switch chip variants don't have integrated ARM
