That's what I said with "much hotter for longer". If it's constantly thermal throttling, that's gonna be an issue. Of course OC'ing also will. 50°C just isn't an issue. Also older models have CPUs that either don't throttle at all, or do it less well/effectively.
The CPU is perfectly happy sitting at 50°C. It is slightly happier at 30, but it doesn't actually help in any way unless you run into throttling, or run (much) hotter for longer. It's fine.
Some might state that the CPU is probably gonna live longer, but seriously have you ever had a CPU die on you cause it was old (or even die at all, even)? Again, it's fine.
Having something that mostly agitates the air (not even really moving it) like a low-hundreds-rpm fan would also work. As would using one of those passive heat pipe coolers that are also overkill (especially with a fan, but just leave that off), but have the same "number looks better" effect.
You are completely misunderstanding what Amazon actually does, and why it's successful, despite being a shitty company. It's first and foremost a logistics company. People can order "stuff" in many places, but if they order it on Amazon, they'll get it by tomorrow if they order it before midnight. They got warehouse everywhere. They do (some) of their own final deliveries for anyone close to those, use the big logistics players for the rest (ups, DHL, ...) while having massive volume and the power to dictate price that comes with that. The number of workers in the warehouses is actually minuscule for their size, it's all automated. Huge up front cost, very low cost once it's actually running.
Consumers go there because they can get literally anything. Again: warehouses. It's also a market place but that only works (these days) because it's THE place the people go. The reviews are also a massive point, and would be inherently untrustworthy in a federated version.
How would you ever get anyone to go to your federated version for shopping that sells like "some" things? Even if you manage to combine all those shops, you'd need a way to agree on what an item is called (or how to assign id numbers) so the same item from multiple sellers is grouped in the same offer, and many similar small things you take for granted it didn't even ever see/notice on Amazon.
To avoid confusing newcomers: For anyone getting into 3D printing it's much more space efficient to just get an enclosed printer and not having to deal with a built enclosure. Like the new Prusa core one.
This is still one of the best looking and well integrated solutions I've seen for external enclosures though.
The article makes it sound like it's just about the "older" games, but layoffs affect core smite 2 development, too. And not just 1 or 2 people either. Also literally everyone related to eSports, so that entire concept seems dead to them as well. Kinda looks like we're on a downward spiral, so don't get too invested.
The fact that proton mail is in the first spot for mail providers made me immediately nope out. If that is listed without a massive asterisk, it's just no list I'm willing to trust in any way, as it clearly can't be trusted.
I also had a pebble 2 hr, even had two because I bought another one off eBay (unopened box). 3d printed some buttons and used is for many years until the battery basically died, and the software started to show it's age. Notifications became unreliable and such things, making it kinda pointless.
Still want nothing more than for it to work properly again. It's easy enough to swap the battery, now with the ability to fix the software, there might be a point to it.
Personally I've heard very good things about mailbox.org
It can be paid anonymously, if you want. There is no (real) free option, and you didn't mention if you were only looking at those, but your examples are mostly free.
Have you actually thought about the first point in your second list, the door? Imagine the machine is running and actually full of water, and turning it off releases the door. Would that really make you happy?
That said, your other points in that category are fair, and honestly incredibly weird. I never had a washer do any of that, but I assume it's to stop your clothes from wrinkling. Are you sure that can't be turned off?
70 W is very casual riding, like 15 km/h or so. Anyone actually training (20-25 km/h or simulating anything with hills) will be more in the 100-150 W range. My fridge uses 70 W as an example, and only when actively running, with a duty cycle of 40% or so. Obviously this isn't an industrial fridge or freezer.
Yea I get that. But installing them is far from the troublesome experience it used to be, isn't it? It's just a one-click installer that generally "just works" these days?
During the time when I grew up in my parents house, the heat failed exactly once, and there the heating system has to be replaced. It didn't fail before, it didn't fail after. It didn't have any short term "hiccups", ever. So to answer your question: Once in like 20 years.
Since I'm living on my own, I've had trouble starting the very old gas stove for the apartment twice, and each time at the beginning of the heating season. Once it's running, it just works. The thing is 60ish years old btw. and technicians refuse to touch it for fear of liability. Basically works fine since I cleaned it properly the last time it refused to start.
Heating should be reliable, and it usually just is. What you're describing is not normal. I don't even know anyone who has recurring issues with their heat.
Yes of course 178° is a lie and marketing B's, just like "1 ms response time". Keeping in mind that 180° is the theoretical limit of that number, as you would view it from behind if you're above it. They are saying "you can see something if you view it from that angle", not "the colors are unchanged at that angle". Again, marketing. There is no regulation or "official" definition on what the technical spec "viewing angle" means for a monitor, so it's whatever the marketing department decides it means.
That feature kinda works, but it's incredibly fragile. It has caused so many annoyances for me over the last year or so that I'm finally done with the thing. Just go with immich instead, less headache.
That's what I said with "much hotter for longer". If it's constantly thermal throttling, that's gonna be an issue. Of course OC'ing also will. 50°C just isn't an issue. Also older models have CPUs that either don't throttle at all, or do it less well/effectively.
