  I have a zojirushi rice cooker that’s similar and I love it!

  Other then that my oven, coffee maker, kettle, kitchen fan all have the same shrill beep that’s hard to know what’s what.

  I had this problem with Equinix! They limited our company to like 10kva per rack, and we were installing nvidia dgx servers. Depending on the model we could fit only one or two lol.

  I loved synology, this is such a punch in the gut. After I adopted them myself like 10ish years ago, I converted my dad, and two seperate friends to pick one up too. Never going back now.

  Characters from resident evil video game. At least in RE4, you play as Leon and there’s a mysterious woman in a red dress who drops in occasionally to mess with you.

  Apparently she keeps taking care of herself afterwards, but Leon winds up as a bum lol.

  Kind of similar to Ash in Pokémon who remains a kid, when Misty becomes an adult and moves on with her life but in reverse.

  I have a bpi-r4, it’s fantastic, totally recommended.

  No idea about its wifi 7 though, I didn’t buy the addon board, and went with unifi u7’s instead.

  I do the same but with 2.5 inch sata ssd’s, and a hot swap bay in the front of my case. Swapping the OS is like using an old cassette player, now with 2TB of storage haha.

  I kind of wish u.2 drives could take off in the same way, so I could do the same thing but with direct nvme storage.

  I definitely can’t tell the difference for anything above 120hz or so, but I recall reading an article about counter strike several years ago, which showed that pro players can see an increase in performance with higher frame rates up to about 300 or 350 hz (as long as you have the fps to match it, lol).
