Apple is using very high bandwidth LPDDR5 - it can't be cheap.

FWIW this website appears normal in Internet Explorer compatibility mode (i.e. IE7 mode). You'll probably have to jump through hoops to actually get it to open in Windows 10 though...

Honestly, I'd rather have consistent and accurate colors across multiple monitors even though it would be limited to sRGB. Most content on the Web is for sRGB anyways, so it's not like much was lost. It's still much better th

gfx.color_management.mode = 1 only worked vaguely correctly if all of your monitors share the same color space (or you only have a single monitor). Videos also weren't color managed, and there still existed some situations where colors

Can confirm - in a large React app, SVG Font Awesome icons constituted a disproportionate amount of time spent rendering. Switching to the icon font dramatically improved performance.

Resizable BAR support was added in the latest BIOS update of my B450 motherboard (that also added Zen 3 compatibility).

NVIDIA pushed the 3080's stock performance a little too high up the perf/watt curve. If you limit it to the TDP of the 2080 Ti, you lose 4% performance but you get much better efficiency: https://www.computerbase.de&#x2

The new XPS 15 allegedly has a battery rated for only 300 cycles: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-new-Dell-XPS-15-s-battery-... For comparison, MacBooks' batteries are rated for 1000 cycles.

MyRocks is a little bit janky in my experience - it doesn't support some transaction isolation levels, fails to handle some workloads that rely on locking (such as a job queue), has failed to upgrade MariaDB minor versions [0], has ver

GeForce NOW seemed to handle raw input correctly when I tested it on macOS. Though that's more of a game streaming thing. Regarding Apple's mice, the Magic Mouse has a rather unusual polling rate of 90 Hz (likely to save energy),

FPS games typically use raw input, which bypasses any acceleration settings in the OS. This works on both Windows and macOS, assuming the game is properly written. This is why I insist on keeping mouse acceleration enabled since it helps wi

I still have no idea where this link is going to take me. a.co links always go to some illegible Amazon URL, so I think it’s fine to use them.

DNSCloak lets you load a blacklist and/or select an ad-blocking DNS server: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dnscloak-dnscrypt-doh-client... So it's pretty easy.
