Depends on the CPU - my old 2500K overclocked from 3.3Ghz to 5Ghz, so it was more than a few percent. Current PC has a 10600K overclocked, only because I already had the cooling system installed and it uses the same heatsink mount as a 2500

Trucks use retread tires to save money with the trade off of higher blowout rates. The driver could pull over safely as each axle has more than one tire. This is also why retreads are not popular these days (or illegal) for car use as you d

to be fair it is mostly fashion, just look at the stupid aviation connectors they put on the USB cable for example.

It depends on your job role - doing stuff in a terminal all day is probably OK with a 40%, if you type numbers and IP addresses all day you want a numpad, if you live in excel you probably want function keys.

I'm still dirty on goggle for announcing retirement of cloud print a few weeks after I got it all set up.

It's akin to paying decent money for a Lexus and then having the dealer ask you to buy a tank of petrol - it sullies the experience. They could have at least included a 60 cent usb-a to usb-c dongle so you can charge with 99% of the ex

You can also buy a hdmi to usb capture dongle for around $15 US which will let you use any camera with HDMI out as a webcam. Ideally you want a camera that does clean HDMI out (no ISO indicators etc), but even that can be worked around if y

FYI Lenovo and probably others have an option to limit max charge which will greatly extend battery life. I have mine set to 80% and only set it to 100% if I know I'm going to be away from AC for a while.

Best way I found to reduce pump noise is to insulate it. In my case I have a DDC style pump, and its very quiet after I got a car wash sponge and cut a square hole in it and put the pump inside. It looks ghetto but its inside a case so who

Yes, given the thermal mass of a fridge any type of advanced control is probably pointless. I think late 90s/early 2000s was the peak of fridge reliability to efficiency ratio. They run the defrost timer through the thermostat, so defr

They are hosted on AWS cloud, so one would presume they can just scale back their infra to the levels needed, avoid any code changes unless its 100% necessary, and cut back their work force to the bare minimum.

Not a shame. You have a company that charges licenses based on the physical core count even if you run the product in a VM using only a single core, but then they also want to be your cloud supplier. The only strong point of Oracle is legac
