I don't disagree that it could be conditioning. You make really good points about the benefits of doing things digitally. At some point I really need to spend a few months going all-in on doing it digitally and see if I can make it wor

Same here on bringing notebooks to meetings. I didn't for a long time, but I picked it back up recently at the urging of a friend, and I've found myself really enjoying it. Doing something with my hands while in meetings really he

I've also thought about trying out a reMarkable! I'm a little too cash-strapped to justify it these days, but maybe sometime in the future. I agree with other commenters here that a lot of it could be conditioning, but I've a

Replying to myself since the edit window is gone: Clearly I missed the sarcasm there. Would still love to hear a local's thoughts about why it's a good place to live!

Oops! Missed that. You're right. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Curious what's so horrible about Austin, as I've thought about Texas as somewhere I might want to move sometime in the future. Any chance you could elaborate a bit? Would appreciate the opinion of a local.

I wonder if Orange County will see a bump in another week or so. A lot of people I know from down there were out at the beach last weekend while LA's beaches were still on lockdown.

Real reason: "oh, look, we might be able to spend less for this person's work" Tactic: "well, we'd be taking a risk by hiring you, what if you do something bad again? or if this turns in to a PR problem?"

Maybe smaller channels, but I find that most of the bigger ones ( especially GamersNexus) put a ton of effort into having a good, repeatable process for in-depth looks at performance. Certainly on par with Anandtech or any of the other typ

I'm not up to date on ETH, but is this the same fabled upgrade that people have been talking about for years now? The concept sounds like it could have real potential.

Looks like GN already has a video out, so I imagine the rest of the big hardware channels will follow along quickly. Don't have time to watch GN's video now, but I bet they'll have taken a nice in-depth look at the performanc

Seems to me that all Intel can do at this point with their 14nm++++ is pump the Ghz and power consumption (when actually turboed to that high clock) up as far as they can.

That's awesome. Thanks for the link. Might have to take that up as a project to stave off the boredom one of the next few weekends.

Only tangentially related, but has anyone tried jailbreaking early Nook e-readers from B&N? Noticed I have one just sitting in the back of a drawer while cleaning the other day.

Figured it was something like that :) No way everyone can click through every link in every article they read. Glad we were jointly able to bring something interesting from the article to people's attention.

I thought it was interesting, even if the overall state of most of them wasn't great. Some of them had decent sections, but then there would be some periodically repeated jarring note. Definitely better than I would've expected.

Most compelling thing versus similarly priced Android offerings from my point of view is the guarantee of software support far into the future. Hardware is roughly the same as the 11, so, based on Apple's past behavior, one can expect
