The C30 64GB kits are nearly impossible to buy now, so, well done. Got one in September '23 for ~$380 AUD, on the rare occasions it's available today it's been over $1600 AUD. I upgraded my UPS to a sine interactive unit to m

I have about 14 or 15 USB devices in addition to my 4 monitors, and whilst I'm sure you're right I'm very happy to have a high quality soundcard that is not part of that mix.

I use the speed chime in my Model 3 car to alert me if I'm more than 2 km/h over the posted speed limit, which it infers from its database with the autopilot camera providing overrides. If I'm over that when passing a speed c

The idea discussed in the article was one of progressive overload; slowly make your body adapt to an ever increasing workload. Don't go straight for the 200kg deadlift when you are new to the gym, in other words.

The endpoint stuff kills laptop performance. I left my previous job and they let me keep my X1 Nano (1st gen; 16GB memory) which was performing abysmally towards the end. Deleted all the partitions and did a 100% clean install (multi boot W

MyUXG Max has DHCP, and for my attached devices if I specify a static IP I get the option to set a Local DNS record. There's no central management of these records that I'm aware of though. Absolutely love my Unifi setup, recent

Yeah I like to take photos of my cast iron cooking with my S25U, on a black induction glass surface - and I find myself swapping to Pro mode all the time as the colour temperature is often way too warm and or oversaturated. It's a grea

Bit off topic, but if you ever travel into Australia never don't declare that package of chips. It could easily turn into your most expensive bag ever. All food items simply _must_ be declared. There's two lines, so join the "

I'm very pleased to see this sentiment, as a father of a 14 year old boy. 4 years ago I decided to quit alcohol altogether (from a moderate by Australian standards consumption), and I hope to be a positive influence on him through his

The 7800X3D is absolutely awesome. That L3 cache is God-tier. At barely any power consumption whatsoever. (Compared to Intel CPUs at the time of release).

True! I realise that I left it unsaid in the numbers. Granted, herz for herz my DDR4 3600-CL16 had even better latencies than my DDR5 (4.44ns vs 5.00nz) - but for overall performance the speed then tends to make up for it (assuming a varied

My DDR4 was C16, but my DDR5 at C30 makes up for that with sheer speed. Currently sporting this - G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Black 64GB (2x32GB) PC5-48000 (6000MHz) with a 7800x3d. Previous kit was G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB), P
