I have a file server with ~80tb of hard drives attached to it + 4tb of flash. It's kind of incredible. The first 4 drives were 6tb enterprise drives that cost $250 each (new). The most recent two are 14tb drives that I picked up for a

FWIW, you can build a fully functional desktop for ~$400 with integrated graphics (that can play most modern games on lower settings), or maybe $600 with a discreet GPU. Less if you go with used parts.

After watching the Technology Connections video, I realized that YouTube ReVanced has an option to default to the subscriptions tab rather than the home page. It doesn't seem that different in my case, but I probably am catching some t

100% this. I use a MacBook at work, and I bought myself a Framework laptop for personal stuff. Overall, the Framework is great, but the touchpad is a letdown.

My ISP, Metronet, is mostly CGNAT. That broke some things for me, so I called in and they gave me a "free" static IP to fix it. Except, once per year they start charging me for it and I have to call back, and then they make it fre

Ryzen 8000 was mostly mobile CPUs like the 8840U (there were a few desktop ones like the 8700G). Ryzen 6000 series was all mobile.

My hot take is that the 9070 XT at $600 will do OK as long as they can ship at MSRP and nvidia can't, but would have been more impressive at $500 or even $550. The 9070 non-XT seems DOA at $550. The most I've ever spent on a GPU i

I still do this for friends and family: put in an SSD and maybe add a bit of RAM. Either, clone the OS or else do a fresh install. The old drive goes into a USB enclosure if it's a laptop. It feels like a brand new computer, going from

That's a good point. When I joined a startup as the 6th person, I was a college student working part-time freelance gigs and making maybe $30k. The startup was initially a freelance client, they offered to take me on as an employee for

I think alternating between teaching and working in the industry is a good way to stay balanced and keep the gap small. The tech lead on my team was a college professor for a while before joining us, and he occasionally got in spats with on

I strongly agree with the conclusion that the libraries should reject input they can't correctly handle instead of silently truncating it. I co-maintain a rate-limiting library that had some similar rough edges, where it wouldn't

I have accounts at both, and my perception is that Vanguard is pretty much exclusively low cost, but Fidelity does have some very competitive options if you can find them. They just also have a lot of overpriced junk. Fidelity’s technology

I'd be interested in acquiring a Pixel 4a from someone who doesn't want theirs anymore. I replaced the battery in my Pixel 2 myself - it was a bit of work but not too bad overall (it's probably not waterproof anymore, though)

I'd like to see an option to require both biometric and pin. I believe that some courts in the US have ruled that pins/passwords are protected by the 5th amendment, but biometrics are not, so you can be compelled by the court to
