Gibibyte is the shit

SMB share and VLC is where it's at

Different character enforcement helps reduce the risk of simple dictionary attacks. Even the most common letter replacements multiply the complexity. But nothing beats a long randomized password with 2fa.

Keeping a simple nas alive, with automated backups from linux + windows based machines with proper authentication already sometimes feels like a second job. Hosting all of your own services is way more effort than people realise

What I love about them is that recently they had more people buying their password manager, than they planned for. This reduced the cost per user for them.

Instead of pocketing all of the profit gained from it, they sent out an email to all of their paid users, to let them know that they can now update their subscription for a discount.

Ah, seems like it works now, it has been a while since I've used it. But it still doesn't have an option for moving the url bar to the bottom of the screen and blocking trackers.

There are features, like swiping the url bar to switch tabs, that are missing on the pre installed Chrome, but the firefox has them. Chrome has nothing to offer over firefox, besides your data collection

On buying their bs

That's.... not how it works.

Gold's value isn't tied to its usefulness. Based on statista, less than 7% of global gold use is for "technology". The rest of it goes to jewellery, investments and banks.

Yes, definitely, but it's not bad for you

If you don't drink bitter things regularly, then normal coffee tastes very bitter, especially if you are more sensitive to bitter taste.

I have a CO2 canister with a diy bottle cap. I use regular coke bottles for carbonating the water. It tastes good, but it is still destructive for your teeth.

Pure juice overall should be in A tier

Whole milk is S tier, skimmed milk is C tier.

I'd choose windows if they allowed me to.

Yup. Also some kernel panics due to non compatible DP adapters. They are picky machines. Those issues were with the 2019 i7 mac pro. My current M1 has issues with certain usb-c docks

There definitely are good build quality laptops out there, like the Zephyrus lineup. Don't know about their latest releases, it would require a bit more research.

My own laptop is a 2022 model of zephyrus g15. It was released a few months before m2 released. The CPU is a Ryzen 9 6900HS, that is just 4-5% slower in cinebench, and a 3070-ti gpu. The GPU is 20% slower than m2 max, but the laptop also cost only 2.4k, compared to 3.1k of M2 max. The battery lasts around 4-5h during video playback on the dedicated GPU.

Haven't tested the energy saving method as I use it for work and I have locked it to max power settings.

Yes, the mac is more power efficient, but at the same time, if I wanted a power efficient, light laptop, I wouldn't buy a powerhouse.

Edit: oh, and the zephyrus laptop is actually lighter than 16" MacBook pro

For the same price as a decked out MacBook m3, you can get a laptop with a i9-13980hx. That beats the m3 max in single core cinebench by 12% and in multi core cinebench by 29%.

Also, the laptops at that price point have a dedicated gpu.
