I looked at multiple configurations, and mathed it out. With leasing, you pay ~75% of the capital cost (excl. tax) over 3 years, but end up with no asset. Apple computers tend to have excellent resale value, and Mac Minis/Studios ha

I believe “The Homer” is a reference to Season 2, Episode 15 of The Simpsons, “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” Homer reunites with his long lost brother, who runs car company Powell Motors. Homer is ultimately tasked by his brother with hel

Indeed. Something to note is the labor force participation rate keeps dropping. We’re down to 61.4%. It was 61.5% in June 2026, 62.3% in June 2025. We also have 4.8 million that are part-time employed, but want full-time work. That’s up

If you're referring to a toploader NES (NES-101) , it does not support RGB out of the box, and actually only has an RF-out jack back there. A top-loading Famicom (Famicom AV, HVC-101) instead has the Multi-Out port similar to the SN

> SNES games went for $60-70. I don’t believe you were intending to paint with a broad brush, but for others I’d like to explain where SNES game pricing was in more detail, as there was quite the range of prices depending on the game an

Moreover, Star Fox was kind of... programmed by teenagers. Miyamoto is credited as both the producer and designer, but both Cuthbert and Goddard were 18 or 19, and Wombell (artist and designer) was maybe in his mid-20s. Star Fox's d

Lord help you if you build an HEDT with a boatload of “tuner” memory to get a meaningful boost on actual productivity where memory latency and secondary/tertiary timings matter. I built in February 2025, and my two 48GB DIMMs were $440

In a homelab scenario when asking “DAC vs. fiber” the answer is usually, “yes.” :) Basically, it’s a tradeoff as with everything else. DACs will usually be even (slightly) lower power per port, and slightly lower latency[1] (we’re f

15 months ago I saw writing on the wall on several fronts. I suggested my community commit to their buys/builds ASAP and be forward-looking, before things changed. My high-end HEDT would now be +$2300 to build mostly due to memory and

Someone on YouTube recently looked at exactly what those 50 games are. She tried to give all the ones she bought (she looked at most of the 50 in the store) a fair shake, tried to "find the fun" and give it an honest assessment

It was Goodyear, specifically the Eagle VR50. The advertisement featured a Ferrari 308 GTB. Ferrari had only adopted radial tires in racing a decade earlier. I'm curious as to what deal they got with Goodyear at the time, as radial t

Yep, moreover they cost a whopping $7. Not only can you ensure things are in a safe range, but also not too cold to further improve efficiency. An oven thermometer is another one I’ll recommend, as the temperature the oven claims it’s at i

Figured I'd mention an open source guide of mine here, as I expect I'll have a way to disable these ads without any third-party tools, as I have done to address all the other things so far: ------ So I had many of the same concern

I just made a very cursory look into this, but this is possibly that a Group Policy default that has changed to a different setting in Windows 11 than it had been in previous versions of Windows. It absolutely does work if you disable UAC

I don’t disagree. In terms of wall clock time, I do run through my entire guide prior to every release and it’s about one total hour including the installation of the OS itself, and I’d say 40 minutes or so is part 3, which is the bulk of

It’s not that it’s not full length, it’s that it’s center aligned by default. It’s a very quick change to left-align it again, and that’s in the guide.

Yes. There are suggestions in the guide regarding handling auto updates.

So I had similar concerns regarding Windows 11, but I sat down, learned how to clean it up, and put a Creative Commons open source guide for others to follow. I knew many other reluctant friends who are senior devs at prolific companies in

I have used Linux since 1996. Since before the 2.0 kernel. Back when GNU Hurd was coming out any day now . Heck, I’ve used Debian since Debian 1.0. Most of my home infrastructure is Linux and BSD. I’ve used MacOS very heavily since 2004

I’ve put a text-based guide out on GitHub for people to follow. It covers both the initial installation, as well as all my post-install recommendations. It eliminates I believe all the tracking, adware, suggestions, Cortana, feeding the B
