5G mm is vaporware. Virtually no one uses it (especially globally) and it is expected to be stripped out within a generation or two.

Haha yeah, I do realize that "hidden gems" are effectively arbitrage, where you are underpaying relative to the actual (market) value of the item.

This always makes me ambivalent about enthusiast blog posts. Like on the one hand, cool that the knowledge gets spread. On the other hand, whenever one gets popular, another hidden gem skyrockets in price or becomes semi-permanently low in

Right now, if you have video clips in Spotify enabled, your lockscreen controls will display 'Artist' - 'Song' - 'Video Available', instead of 'Album Name'. If you disable video all together, it just

Netherlands is also in a much worse position due to being downstream of literally everyone. It's going to be a huge future fight in the EU because all countries upstream will want to retain 'all' the water and the remaining l

You do realize you can do the exact same thing on macOS? Just alias sudo to whatever you want. BSD I assume you can do the same with doas. No desktop system is safe from your attack, unless you take specific precautions like chattr on the f

Did we not watch every single supposedly powerful US tech CEO immediately drop in supplication and kiss Trump's ring as soon as he became president? And when Jack Ma got mouthy, Xi locked him in a basement for 3 months and then kept hi

Only some places. Netherlands is €45-60 for 1 gbps (we don't make 4x-6x the money Spaniards do), unless you live in an area that actually sees multi-line competition. We do have an interesting sidegrade: 5G Klik & Klaar from Odido

I don't really understand this dooming. All market forecasters, memory bulk purchasers and the memory producers themselves have stated multiple times, unequivocally that the shortage will get worse in 2027 and then as new fabs come onl

Less optimized, but for the same or less money you get 4-12GB more. Apple can't optimize away that gap. Androids launched ≥2026 got a serious haircut in either memory or other features though. We'll see in 2028.

Yeah, it is a really weird one. Especially iOS is optimized to the gills, there is no real desktop running to speak of and app developers care just a little more than on Android, yet somehow an iPhone can't keep a few apps in memory, y

Linus specifically always buys Apple laptops to run Linux on because they're just that good. Even despite all the paper cuts.

As long as these models constantly keep switching up things like the temperatures at which a steak will be medium rare or at which temperature to season cast iron, you will never be able to trust them for cooking. My mother ruined a nice

Dominos uses a special dough that allows them to make a pizza in like 5 (?) minutes. Before COVID, for a few years the Dominos in my city had a policy where they'd deliver the pizza to your door in 20 minutes or the pizza would be free

Intel has a specific series of integrated network cards that softlock themselves and you can only fix by disconnecting power for 30s, reconnecting the power, then rebooting the PC twice. Living through that made me wonder why people would e

One thing I've never understood (and hopefully some Casio geek can shine a light on): why do almost all old Casio models have a 24/12h time switch taking the premium spot as one of the main 4 buttons, instead of having it buried d

If you're on Linux you might be able to use a combination of modprobe + udev + systemd unit files to hardcode a solution. Either you hardcode your keyboard and mouse absolutely into kernel parameters, or you make two systemd unit files
