I bought a 512gb oled refurb for 419 in 2025 i think it was. 2 months ago sold to a coworker for 700 after realizing i barely used it. I am WFH now at the new job so portable just doesn't really matter. Its a cool device, beautiful screen, but ultimately was a non used item.

Besides expanded ram in the next versions that tempt me, I agree with your later post that as the price of strix halo catches the spark the spark is looking like the better deal for other reasons. Prefill as you mentioned and then its nvidia, its as close as plug n play exists right now for...

All the regrets not buying several of the frameworks on preorder. This point my jaunt into this ecosystem will be gorgon halo 192gb or medusa halo whenever that is out.

I don't know about modern monitors but you use to be able to lay wet paper towels on the screen stripped down for hours to get the glue soft. It was very risky though.

I understand the concept, but its tech so its a gamble. So I agree tell us more how we get in on the casino full of hookers and blow? Side note if its goes less official, and more patreon if you know what I mean, make sure you have a early adopter tier of 10k desk and they actually get a 10k...

I sold my steam deck at a profit after 2 years of use. I game less but more importantly I am so far into the local AI stuff that I have the hardware burning high wattage and putting out heat it just wouldn't make sense to bother when I can use much stronger machines. I work with data sometimes...

Yea, I am a linux guy, but apple has the hardware on point and close enough. The problem I have noticed is there just aren't the non mac silicon equivalents for hardware, the macs are just damn fast for a lot of use cases. Then any real lifting is done in the server rack.

I main a macbook neo and a m1 mac mini 16gb 256gb. Then I have an AI inference point server in a diff part of the house with the hot stuff being a 5950x and r9700 gpus. Outside of my local AI stuff I would be perfectly fine with this mac combo over the piles of pc laptops/desktops i've had. The...

I have had this for a few years and if I had an Ace nearby I would have grabbed a spare even with the newer model with dual batteries. It is just so damn good and has not let me down once.

Glad it worked for you, realized i posted years ago on my version of it and I still actually have it getting ready for another setup when I move later this month. Quite a monstrous mount for the price.

Hoping he gets serious trouble from this. That same time of jamming signals could have caused someone to die that needed emergency help. Ignorance is no excuse nor are good intentions. Obviously researched enough to find a jammer to buy and too stupid to find a better solution.

The biggest gripe I have had from coworkers and friends is WFH is better in everyway except they get more work done. Also can't forget about banging the secretaries as that would surely be less fun in the metaverse. I think the future is flex for positions that have on site responsibilities and...

If going ultrawide 38" 3840x1600 minimum. Every single 34 and 35" 3440x1440 I have regretted as its only 3 windows comfortably.

I love the idea of right to repair but reality is far too few people can do it right. The other issue is unlike the 1950s people try to sue when they mess up the device further. It is also just another massive cost to maintain public service info and parts. Yes they will have this internally but...
