I tried new outlook once and it was such a fucking disaster I’m still shaking from it 6 months later. It was also a giant pain to go back to classic.

Not only Asus, it talks to general ways to understand warranties and rights across the industry.

Not to mention the charging infrastructure is one of the reasons some people haven’t made the switch yet. Anything holding back charging expansion is a disaster in my view.

I felt this up in New Hampshire. I was thinking I was going crazy then I opened the USGS live map and the icon popped up a couple of minutes later.

Virtual card numbers usually work well. I always made sure to use them with stuff like SiriusXM and other clowns that make cancellations difficult. You can leave them active or cancel them arbitrarily. Some card companies let you set them up via their app or website.

I’m so glad I’m not alone in this opinion. It’s absurd.

No it limits the total amount, but it is reasonable that they added a dedicated power input. I’m guessing we’ll see even more of that on ATX12VO motherboards or similar. Seems like power standards are changing a lot and manufacturers are waiting for things to settle down.

They laid off quality control.

After all that you get to tinker around with their shit VPN client that only works during one phase of the moon.

I managed to fiddle around with my work Dell laptop and disable that nonsense. I think it was called “modern standby”. I don’t understand why this isn’t considered a fire hazard. It was terrifying to leave my laptop in my backpack until I figured out the fix.

A couple of X670E boards have 4 onboard plus front panel header. That gets to 5, but only 2 can do USB 4.

Yeah I recently started using a motherboard that has a 6-pin GPU style header for powering the USB-C ports. It limits power delivery capacity if you don’t plug the connector in, but if you do it supports 100W ports.

Well at least it doesn’t fire off background processes even if you don’t use it.

I’ll take one of those as well but throw in a microsd slot if you could be so kind

They need that extra space to cram in more ads!

I don’t recall offhand his response but I believe it was this episode: https://startalkmedia.com/show/the-story-of-space-imaging-with-carolyn-madam-saturn-porco/

This guy steaks.

There was a NASA lady on StarTalk recently talking about how there’s something like 360,000 more satellites planned/approved to go into orbit and it’s going to completely erase the night sky. We’re at something like 7700 currently.

I’m a proponent of EVs and I’m looking forward to getting one at some point but “most” EVs don’t hold a charge for over 400 miles. Many are offered with a high range option that almost meets this mark, but that’s also under ideal conditions. I have several coworkers with EVs and we talk a lot about the range effects in the winter, or in hilly areas, etc.

Also you’d have to be crazy to plan out a trip that depletes your battery all the way, so that wouldn’t be for a 400 mile trip.

One thing that’s turning me off from EVs (currently) is the constant battling over charging standards. This creates more uncertainty than I’d like.
