Agreed, stings that they don't include 2.5G. Even a single spinning disk easily saturates GigE, getting 2.5x that without the price overhead of 10G is a pretty decent value. Even $200 firewall widgets often include 4x2.5G.

Sure. Generally with 1/2 the memory bandwidth (or usually less), a worse iGPU, and slower CPU. That N100 is an Intel Atom, quite a bit of a downgrade from the M4 with the fastest CPU cores out there.

M4 pro uses LPDDR5X-8533.

Sure, they are. Buy a Epyc or Xeon, burns 200+ watts, has 8 to 12 channels, which requires 8 or 12 dimms, which are barely fitting in 19" racks (next gen are moving to 21"). Or you could get a m3 max, run the memory at twice the

Hard to imagine that being price competitive with the M4 max, hopefully out tomorrow.

True, but PCs are 128 bits wide, apple lets you upgrade to 256 bits wide (M4 pro), 512 bits wide (m3 Max) or 1024 bits wide (M2 Ultra). Unified memory is much more useful when you can get more bandwidth to it.

Heh, I'm not that interested in talking, but I am interested in typing. Especially with the advantage of advanced math/error correction, store and forward, relaying, and related. This adds up to a few watts in a $100 radio getti

JS8call is pretty similar to FT8, but can do keyboard to keyboard chat. Not quite auto-mesh, but can store/forward through multiple other nodes.

Heh, ask 10 hams what the whole point of a ham license is and you'll get 10 different answers. I've heard "permission to build" before, but rarely.

Might want to consider the meshtastic, something like a lilygo t-echo. A few advantages over the standard ham radio: * Nodes automatically forms a mesh * works with any android/IOS widget, simple text message like interface *

Deinococcus radiodurans is amazingly radiation resistant. Saw a recent update that a single protein was identified that's part of the radiation resistance. When transferred to e.coli it made 40x more radiation resistant.

Heh, I've heard complaints about multi GB driver installs on windows, sounds worse to me.

Poor status, often a 1 line LCD says "processing..." and hangs infinitely. Different handling of duplex, monitoring ink levels, file formats (PS? EPS? PNG? PCL? Which versions? Etc). Issues with ink that expire by date, reduced

Agreed, I ran several busy printers for a large department. The ljet IIIs were work houses and ran nearly forever if you used the recommended part replacement schedule. We had a ljet III that outlasted ljet 4, ljet 5, and ljet 4000. Ljet

It's common that a external SAS chassis had multiple connections that can access all drives. The one I use I believe has 12 connections for 60 drives. CPUs these days generally have a PCIe controller inside. Socket 0 can use the dire

How do you prove or disprove that airports mess with migration patterns? Wind farms? Loss of forests? Loss of wetlands? Making the world friendly to animals means providing areas where they can feed, reproduce, be safe, drink uncontaminated

A friend is in involved in the sat based version. They did manage incredible optimizations for power efficiency. With a clock, pressure sensor, light sensor, a low power radio you can, and a bit of compute you can: * Use sunrise/s

Indeed, and ignores the CPU feature flags for things like AVX2. There is various hacks, some to the binary (to edit out the if <AMD> then slow) or even just ENV flags. This fixes things like matlab's use of MKL and shows a signi

Well keep in mind: 1) cheaper energy means you can mix more water in to get whatever salt level you want. 2) you can mix in the output of your sewage plants 3) most water is borrowed and returned, not a huge net loss. Every toile

On road I don't see the point, any decent derailleur works well in all conditions you regularly experience. Generally rides (consciously or not) let up on the torque to improve shifting, not a big deal. However on a MTB it's more

It's easy to assume it's malicious. But instead this allows laptops to be thinner, cheaper, and have MUCH better performance. Nearly all PC and laptops have 128 bit memory busses, which is a major bottleneck for iGPUs, as well as

Why not just use Airthings, don't use their service, and own your data. They say in the license if you use their service (i.e. you upload your data to them) they own it. But if you don't, you own it. Seems fair to give them thei

If you don't want airthings to own your data, do not upload it to them. Airthings has a git repo allowing you to read your own data, keep it inside your network, and graph it with graphana or anything you want. However if you use their

Seems like a reach. However there does seem to be growing support for quantum interactions in the brain. Originally it was thought the brain was much to warm and wet to support quantum behavior. Apparently Roger Penrose had a crazy idea a

My understanding is that it's something like: stripe = read_from_ram(*ptr) # usually between 128k and 256k blobs[]=do_raid_calc(stripe) # blobs usually 25% to 33% larger than stripe for i in drives write(d
