I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I've never destroyed the port on my device.

Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they're clean?

Standardized testing isn't the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there's a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.

BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they're closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)

Have you worked with 3rd party testing companies? It isn't the end all be all. Even in 3rd party testing manufactures get wiggle room, and can voluntarily derate their numbers. Especially if there's any accountability for failing to meet those numbers there's a good reason to do so.

.worlds server gets told a .ee user replied and stores that internally. Your phone goes to .world and .world says everything it knows.

Pictures don’t carry over, that’s up to .ee to keep the full photo.

If your reaction time is worse than 2 seconds I question if you should be driving. Driving is not a responsibility you should take lightly.

Honk doesn’t mean go, honk means pay attention.

Desktops don’t normally have S0 suspend. Laptops have all switched over to that and it’s a pain in the ass.

Yeah this is just manufacturers self rating themselves. This is just like VW cars rating themselves as getting 5-10mpg better than their competitors, when really they were just measuring from the balls.

The up side is if they fail to meet those ratings then are the consumers entitled to some sort of compensation?

It was tracked. Bazzite went up by 2.37% (from nothing). Other went down by 2.40%. They just finally recognized Bazzite as an "actual" Linux distro instead of the "IDK" category.

Thanks to USB C it's always the right orientation. But good fucking luck getting it in without looking or scratching the shit out of your device.

The one thing I liked better about Lightning over USB C was the rounded corner which makes it easier to slide the plug in without doing damage to the device.

There’s known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. The first requires a lot less brainpower than the last.

It is an option to play around. But for audio production you really don't want to be trying to use a VM unless you're fiddling with USB passthrough (which is a pain). Audio latency on Windows is bad enough, adding Linux's on top is awful.

Are you sure? I know the successor the T420 supports disabling the graphics. I dont think my 410 ever had it though. It's under display settings in the bios. Not sure about dell though, they might not have had it.

Lenovo's bios simulator sadly only goes as old as the T530. But it's config > display > graphics device.

Because docsis 3.0 standard is nearly 20 years old at this point and 3.1 is significantly faster. Docsis 3.1 is only 15, but 4 (which is still 8 years old) probably isn't supported by your ISP yet. But the speed difference is quite noticeable. 3.0 will theoretically do 1gbps down, and 100-200 up, but 3.1 could do 10 down and 1gbps up. In the age of symmetrical fiber internet those upload speeds are dire. 3.1 realistically gets you a symmetrical gig connection.

I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.

Yeah IoT devices don't need bandwith, they need range (at low powers) and those lower frequencies get them that. 6ghz wifi has pretty small range and is awful for IoT stuff.

Replacement? They normally do both face scan and check some sort of ID.

Those drives typically have some pretty dreadful read/write speeds (for a computer). Maybe once SD Express is figured out we'll get fast and good Micro SD cards at a high capacity.

M1 performance with (hopefully) 16 gigs of ram? Yeah that's the perfect computer for a "normal" person who just wants to browse the web on something other than a phone or tablet.

Honestly I just wish these machines had better display scaling options. I'd really like a "looks like 1080p" (ish) option for when I'm out and about and need to remote desktop into my PC at home for work stuff. Currently I use an el cheapo ThinkPad for that.

Oh trust me, I know pretty quickly when that 3080 turns on and when it turns back off. Hybrid graphics is what I've been fiddling with the most.

So far I've been playing with Linux on my old work laptop and they've been playing together nicely. Almost everything else about the laptop? No. But hey at least graphics works.
