Don’t forget that you can often through-hole mount cheap readily made module boards like the one above. Often without adding height.

Moving from an aging intel macbook to a modern m2 is a night and day difference, the passive cooling won’t limit you for most dev tasks you throw at it. As for your throttling, I experienced massive throttling issues on a 2018 macbook pro 1

My first microwave absolutely wrecked 2.4 ghz wifi, replaced it after a few years and the new one didn’t. Didn’t have many BT devices back then, but bet it would jam them as well.

And much more than one would intuitively think. I just finished a long drive for summer vacation. Driving through Denmark (completely flat) at 130 km/h would absolutely wipe the battery, would be surprised if I managed even 350 km on a

`find` has to traverse the filesystem, which is pretty slow. `mdfind` looks up in an indexed database, which is very fast.

What if your car battery had a chemistry that could sustain ~10000 cycles if well handled, and aging in general was a bigger issue than cycle degradation? We’re approaching this with the recent LFP generations.

This is happening in Norway now. Used ICE cars are getting bought up by foreigners and then shipped to for example Lithuania. Sadly paywalled, but you get the gist: https://www-aftenbladet-no.translate.goog/okonomi/i&#x

Speciality vehicles will probably be the last ones to be electrified. I've not yet seen an electric snow plow, or even an ambulance. The city busses charge over night, and some (I believe) in the lull between morning and evening rush h

Norway is already at ~80% EVs for new car sales. There are gas stations that are ripping up their pumps for fast chargers.

Another option is to buy a used "thin client". 1/10th the price, very similar power usage, small size. Some of them got room for a drive or even a quad intel nic (via pcie)

We don’t know yet, there could be some binning involved. They could be identical, and the choice is just different thermal envelopes. Active vs passive cooling can make a huge difference for some work loads.

What happens to metal objects (like keys, etc) in your pocket now that your phone is a giant magnet? I assume the iphone is always magnetic, judging by the magsafe wallet?

It will become cheap enough (both hardware and subscription wise) that companies can include them in basically everything. That way you can't prevent your TV from uploading data to the mothership by not connecting it to wifi. It's

It’s also a very heavy bike, with a extra long chain, able to carry two kids and a load of groceries. The chain is probably under some serious strain when going uphill, even when correctly geared and well maintained.

I live in a hilly city, and the green part of the city council here ran a campaign this year were they cover 25% of the cost of an ebike (up to ~$550 for bikes and ~$1100 for cargo-ebikes). Now I see Tern GSDs and Riese & Müllers all ov

I don't know about the other countries, but "most" Norwegians are house owners (and therefore have pretty large debts, up to 6x their yearly income). The government offers heavy incentives that promote owning a house/apa

Correct, we did use our (combined) 10 weeks of vacation to create overlap though.

I think it's quite healthy for the business TBH. In Scandinavia this is the norm, at a medium sized company there will probably always be someone on parental leave at any given time. You expect it, and therefor deal with it by reducing

28 days? That's barely enough to get your head off from work tbh. I just finished 133 days (at 80% pay) of paternity leave here in Norway, and the last part was def more rewarding than the start as you hit your new stride and regular w
