There's a recently announced OWC Thunderbolt Hub[1]. I would still prefer to have 4 ports built-in even with two controllers rather than having to deal with hubs, though. [1]: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/owc-th

I'm using the standard scaled 1920x1080 resolution on both of my screens. I don't see the 3008x1692 option on my 27-inch LG 4K, but I do see the option on 16-inch Wacom Cintiq. It's a little bit too small on my 16-inch, thoug

I've been running this setup. Mac mini M1 connecting to LG 4K monitor over HDMI at 60 Hz, with DisplayPort to a 4K Wacom Cintiq also at 60 Hz. It works flawlessly.

It might be worth noting that M1 Macs actually has two Thunderbolt controllers for 2 ports (dedicated controller for each port), whereas previous Macs shared two Thunderbolt controllers for 4 ports. The 2 ports limitation feels to me like a

My guess would be Nextcloud put a lot of load on both CPU and disk (for thumbnail generation, file encryption, etc.) making Raspberry Pi which lack performance in both front not very suitable for the task. I tried running Nextcloud on Raspb

I think the better way to put it is it is a real problem, but with a well known workaround. AFAIK, these slots needs to be pre-defined so you're still limited to number of lists that were defined at installation time. This limitation p

The camera one is easy to fix and I found it to be a fair mechanic. However the bug here is even all camera is disabled (either via a daemon, turning them off individually, or shooting them down, or even in area with no cameras, e.g. Nash p

It lets everyone hears but the sound is not that loud, e.g. manageable even in a room with bad sound insulation. Beside, a comparable speaker setup in term of sound quality takes a lot of space and cost a lot more which may not be desirable

I have $4,000 audio setup (Sennheiser HDV820 + Sennheiser HD800) and honestly a $500 Sennheiser HD650 plugged directly to a 3.5mm adapter sounds way more fun in everyday use. The exponential quality curve only goes up to certain point and b

The main issue with comparing the spec is the difference are not really shown in these specs, e.g. luminance and chromaticity uniformity (aka Delta E), among other things. Consumer grade monitor usually do not have these, and when combining

Isn't the extra 2 on Zen not a decoder unit, but rather a 6-way dispatch[1] with op-cache being used to kept the execution unit busy? Or was that the reason behind calling it a 5 or 6-wide depending on how one's may count it consi
