    Replacement WiFi Router for my dad

    Thatll be good, then you can manage things remotely pretty easily if you even have to. My home network is all unifi and rarely touch anything.

    Replacement WiFi Router for my dad

    I hated replacing it. Was dated of course and I outgrew it. But damn i did stream music at my old house on the other side of a 2acre pond from that thing haha.

    Replacement WiFi Router for my dad

    It's always been warm. Its the big tower version, AC powered. It isnt dangerous just as far as routers go it has always felt warm. 120v 1.5A, its gonna make some heat.

    What is wrong with B&W speakers?

    Sound is subjective. You won't get any speaker where 100% of people who use it love it. I have a pair of mackies for my pc and am perfectly fine with those.

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Yes! We used to chuck 30-40lb frozen boxes at each other unloading truck trying to knock the other over. That would probably kill me now hahah

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Oh for the same pay and benefits I would totally go back. I had some of the funnest work days at McDonald’s even if it was a 14hr shift. I had a much better body then too, all that running around.

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Very true. I honestly rather have automation. Keeps a country making and doing things instead of just buying things. We just are at a stage again where we judge the decisions of it like when robots entered car factories, elevators run themselves, telephone operators were replaced with...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    It all ends with automation. If wages go too high companies will move to robots to offset the cost. If wages are too low then no one will want to work for that and companies will have to move to robots to stay in business.

    Glossy vs. matte

    I tend to buy matte. I feel picture quality is better on glossy but the visual experience is worse. In the dark with no reflection it works best but even the monitor light can reflect off a shirt or face back onto itself and for me that is annoying.

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    My take on it is these always get created by robotics people that look up how to make (insert food items) and then the robots make it. Instead of creating something that tastes really good first and then building the robots around the menu items. Like even in that video posted the food looks...

    How do your eyes not hurt from HDR?

    It’s cloudy and foggy here where I am right now and the light that comes in the windows is still lighting my whole house, my monitor surely isn’t outshining it lol.

    How do your eyes not hurt from HDR?

    Actually sounds like you might have a light sensitivity that you just are going to have to deal with. Turning down brightness or even getting a very weak ND filter to cover your screen can do this as well if you cant turn it down. Eye strain helping glasses may be good to try as well.

    DVD-like optical disc could store 1.6 petabits (or 200 terabytes) on 100 layers

    Seriously! Or that operating conditions are only reproducible in a lab and the center of a neutron star and only were able to store 5 bits but it should be scalable to petabits! Would be nice to see some of these big developments come out and be viable.

    Many full copper radiators aren't full copper- Igor's Lab

    The amount of lead is even low plus its mixed with tin. Lead in solder was only an actual issue when electronic waste was incinerated.

    HP wants more of your money

    HP has had ink subscription services for a long time now for consumer. I know a good amount that have utilized it. I know one that when his daughters were using it a lot for school it would auto ship ink so that it arrived before your current cartridge was empty as it kept track online. So i...

    Apple to make the App Store less intuitive with more prompts to level the playing field, accidently rolls it out ahead of ruling.

    Samsung prices certainly are not the opposite. That galaxy fold damn near 2k usd. I do flash around my paid off iphone 13 regular though lol.

    HP wants more of your money

    I personally blame razor blades and their subscription and quality reduction shenanigans. Became the dream model for so many other companies. Then convince everyone you aren't sexy unless you shave everything so you sell more blades lol.

    [Rumour] PS5 Pro dev kit prototypes will be going to 1st party developers within the next couple of months

    That is very true. Plug in a ps5 and answer a couple questions it walks you through and it is good to go. There is value in simplicity/ease of use.

    [Rumour] PS5 Pro dev kit prototypes will be going to 1st party developers within the next couple of months

    I also dont think its fair to compare used parts to new. Yes it is an option of course but shouldnt it also be fair to compare the price of a used ps5? Gamestop has them for $408 if you are a member $430 if not and shows in stock. Which honestly is tempting now, i do like them as simple couch...

    [Rumour] PS5 Pro dev kit prototypes will be going to 1st party developers within the next couple of months

    ive had my ps4 pro since release, so 2016? I havent paid any psn monthly fees and i can still access and download games. I get what you are saying, but it is usage specific so costs are different for different people. over 13 years ive spent more than that in drinks and snacks while playing :P

    Do PSUs still use liquid capacitors?

    Aluminum polymer is a good alternative but pricey like an 80cents vs 13cents kinda difference. Also not as many variations available so choices and sourcing can be an issue.

    Inside of power supply board? Maybe those go to a modular connector. Model of it would do wonders in finding what that is and its pinout.

    Is it worth buying CC Cleaner Pro?

    blast from the past, i feel like i havent used that since windows xp. also dont think my system has needed it since not being on xp. I wonder if it even made a difference then, probably just placebo. Not sure if windows does a better job than it used to or system resources are just enough now...

    [Rumour] PS5 Pro dev kit prototypes will be going to 1st party developers within the next couple of months

    Agreed. I got the ps4 pro when it came out, i didnt have a ps4 previously. I remember having a pain of a time getting it to work with my 4k tv and sony was slow at fixing that. Also don't think it was really that much different than a regular ps4, anything online play was server fps locked or...

    Apple to make the App Store less intuitive with more prompts to level the playing field, accidently rolls it out ahead of ruling.

    I mean, the internet got forced into asking me if i want to accept cookies all the time and i dont feel my experience improved by doing that. Game and software EULA agreements didnt improve anyones experience either. I do get what you are saying and im being dramatic as usual, but i also am...
