I had called out the bullshit about devices being less durable if you make them more repairable on MKBHDs video, but of course it got lost in the comments. Apple just refuses to make the compromises that would allow for durable and repairable devices. Not to mention that a repair being difficult shouldn’t be used for justification for blocking repair or making it impossible/not worth it to get parts.
A local sandwich shop used to have maple bacon ice cream sandwiches during the summer and they were epic. Your buddy definitely did something wrong.
Masayoshi Son’s business acumen is only matched by Elon Musk.
Lenovo should be out just by virtue of being a Chinese company. You should not trust critical security devices to Chinese companies.
One major downside of hybrid working really is that if you are having a meeting where even a single person is not there, then the entire meeting may as well be a video call. If you are on a video call, then why do you need to be in the office for it?
At my job we work with physical objects, so being in office is a requirement at least part of the time, but if I’m just going to be in meetings for most of the day, there is no way I’m going into the office just to sit on video calls all day.
Considering that HP is the other choice that most businesses consider, I’d take the Dell 100% of the time. HP’s laptops are complete and utter trash.
Seriously, I had an issue with Uber awhile ago and their support was completely unhelpful until I contacted them on Twitter and an employee finally looked at my issue and confirmed I was right instead of giving me bullshit answers.
This is literally the only reason I haven’t deleted my account there is for situations like that.
The article more or less covers it. Asian countries without a credit card culture mostly transitioned to QR because it was easy with minimal equipment changes required. Those with widespread credit cards accept tap and QR (e.g. Taiwan widely accepts QR payments, Google pay, Apple pay, credit cards, and transit cards).
Since the western world has been on credit cards for decades that is the solution that is accepted there with QR payments being almost exclusively in businesses that have a customer base from Asian countries. Even then the US is odd compared to other countries since they never really adopted chip and pin.
Yeah that is an annoying thing that manufacturers have done. I bought a Gen 3 motherboard since everyone said that GPUs didn’t even utilize Gen 4 yet, but now the exact people that are wanting a budget card and motherboard combo have that incompatibility due to manufacturer cheapness.
I’m sure Asus were cursing that Computex happened this month and GN were already planning on coming to Taiwan.
Is PCIe bandwidth a practical limitation at the moment for consumers? While it means you can use fewer lanes off the CPU there is no practical reason for consumers to be upgrading often enough to utilize faster generations. My impression was that the later generations are for server applications where more efficient use of PCIe lanes is a real benefit.
Oblivion had quality of life improvements that made it a better game IMO. Yes Morrowind was bigger and deeper, but it was also a frustrating game that didn’t age very well.
It really does feel like Starfield completely killed any excitement for Bethesda games, everything since Oblivion has been a step in the wrong direction IMO.
Not if Google Drive has anything to say about it. It absolutely grinds my gears how much effort they go to not to tell you where a document is located.
Nah, Floorp is Firefox with the features Firefox is missing.
They actually have the dual USB-A and USB-C key product that is inexplicably missing from the main security key vendors! While I’m not going to replace my perfectly good keys, I was so pissed off when I bought mine and the obvious product was missing from Yubico’s offerings.
The issue is that because they broke the UI customization that allowed for it all the extensions are just a kludge to add a panel to the side without actually getting rid of the top tabs.
Do you want to just block all sound or do you want the extra features that come with active noise cancellation headphones like speech passthrough? What you are proposing doesn’t exist because it makes no sense, active noise cancellation is done by recording the audio outside the headphone, inverting the amplitude and attempting to align the phase to cancel it out in real time.
In reality active noise cancellation only works for more or less constant sounds below 1000Hz, anything higher than that and the headphones block exactly as much noise as any other pair of sealed headphones.
You will get better noise reduction with IEMs than headphones, deep insertion headphones like Etymotic beat the pants off Bose for noise isolation at every frequency, are cheaper, and as a plus sound better than any noise cancelling set you can buy.
The way tree style tabs worked after they broke it was never very good. Floorp is what to use if you wanted side tabs on Firefox.
That said I still went back to Vivaldi after trying to use Floorp because of stupid little ux issues like pinned tabs not being protected from closing, and broken session saving.
That isn’t true, for example LTT doesn’t get seeded Apple products anymore because of what they have said about Apple. NVidia has also been caught revoking early access to products to some outlets because they were unhappy about reporting as well.
