Sure, but if you’re not opening random untrusted files, or trying to browse the interwebs through it what’s the chance of there ever being an issue?

It sucks that the ones who give attention to the manager are the ones in good graces with her and that the quiet one who works when they go smoking and gossiping gets ignored, unrecognized and treated worse because he doesn’t want to play office politics.
How do they know what you’re up to if you don’t talk to them about it?
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 3 weeks ago:
For a little bit there with 12th and 13th gen laptops it seemed like it could have made sense.
U was the low power “normal” chip
P was the higher power chip
H was the highest power chips
Then i3-9 for the stack.
But then 100 and 200 series ditched that and the P series kinda merged with the H series and you have no idea what you’re getting.
- Comment on Solar powered server rack 3 weeks ago:
My UPS at home just straight up won’t run off of another UPS unless it’s a perfect sinewave. Square wave REALLY makes it mad, and modified sinewave doesn’t work either. No matter what the UPS will refuse that power and only use its batteries.
I can’t find anything on their website about it being sinewave (pure or modified) so I’m going to assume it’s square wave. I’d imagine a high quality PSU found in a server will handle it, but it won’t be happy.

- Comment on Hardware recs for newb? Please. 1 month ago:
What you gain in quicksync you lose in raw CPU power for other tasks. If you don’t need to transcode your video, or you pre transcode what needs transcoding at night when you’re not doing anything then you can bog the CPU down then, while still having TONS more power available during the day.
According to geekbench the 7745HX is 2.5x the single core performance, and almost 6x the multi core performance. Under load power consumption will be a lot higher, but idle should be low enough to not really make a difference.

On what? His disgusting views on the age of consent? His disgusting views on rape?
The more I read into his views the more disgusting I find him. Then again I shouldn’t have had any standards for someone who goes up on stage and eats gunk off of his feet.

- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Is it really that stupid though. And is it any worse than flush with the back of the computer so you can never tell if you’ve hit it until you’ve really pressed the button or it bongs?
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
There’s no reason to turn off a Mac Mini. It uses about a watt of power in sleep. The idle draw from the power supply in your desktop probably uses more power than the Mac Mini in sleep.

Gotta get the Apple haters to be their #1 advertisers for free.
Keep it up people. Apple did almost nothing to advertise this computer. You’re the advertisement.

They’ve used the same symbol since before we standardized on the RJ45 connector, or 10baseT. Back when ethernet was the wild west.
God I miss these abortions. The OG dongles.

- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
These machines draw 1 watt in sleep. There’s no need to turn them off.
You’re probably using more power shutting down your PC every day than if you just put it in sleep. A minute of chugging away booting and loading all your junk at 100 watts vs 1 watt, and no waiting.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
This mac mini on uses less power than your desktop in sleep.
Your desktop also doesn’t use 0 watts of power when off. If you have a gaming computer with a full power supply it’s probably using a couple watts completely off. Vs an M1 Mac mini that uses about 1 or less watts in sleep.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
And how exactly am I supposed to wake up my computer from sleep if the power button is inaccessible?
Poke your finger under the corner and push up. It doesn’t take a rocket surgen to figure out how they want you to hit this button. You can tell from their promo images that they designed the base to make the computer sit up enough for this.
I know macs can be configured to wake up on keyboard/mouse activity, but that makes them too easy to wake up on accident.
Why does it matter? It’s just gonna go back to sleep in 30 seconds if you don’t mess with it.

Why? This isn’t 1998 anymore.
Well unless you have my shitty ass Thinkpad that can’t reliably go into S0 standby to save it’s life.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Then people would complain there’s no sign of a power button.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
I would be impressed if a cat could hold the power button in for several seconds on my tower, you have to depress the button about a 1/4 inch.
My friends cats do this all the time. Their paws are small enough to be able to push the button down easily.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Not even 0.5% of the time you’re interacting with the computer would you even think about the power button. Maybe in the first week because “lawl it’s on the bottom, Apple so stoopid.” Then you’d just get used to poking under the bottom of the computer and it turns on.
IMO this is infinitely better than on the back like the old Mac mini. My mini is behind my headphone amp, and under a monitor so any time I need to hit the power button it’s a LONG awkward reach.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
A hub costs $10 if you really need all those ports.
Most people buying these machines don’t, which is why it lacks the ports.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Startup power consumption is a LOT depending on how much needs to open.
For work my i9 laptop spends about 3 minutes chugging down 60-100 watts. An M1 Mac mini draws 5 watts fully powered on and idle. Sleep the machine draws less than a watt. The idle power of the power supply just being connected to the wall is going to use more power than that.
- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 2 months ago:
Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore.
Or think about it differently. People hate Linux and Mac OS so much that they’d rather deal with this than deal with them.

Rose tinted glasses.
Xp was almost a nightmare on launch. But got fixed (security not withstanding) switching everyone over from DOS to NT was no simple feat, and there were a lot of issues.
Vista wasn’t great, but the change to drivers made it a nightmare.
7, 8, and 8.1 were fine.
But 10 was a nightmare for the first 5 years. Every other update would break things. And those came out about twice a year.
Windows 11 has been surprisingly issue free for me. 24H2 seems to be the buggiest update since so I’ve been holding back. But I updated to 22 and 23 and I never had any issues, nor did I hear too much complaining. Every major update has some minor issues, and that’s largely why MS staggers their releases.
I’m honestly surprised MS took this long to pause the rollout with how bad it’s been.

Good thing they fixed the ipv6 vulnerability first.
