  One thing about monitors lasting so long is that it feels good that I’m not making e-waste from monitors every time I upgrade my computer. For the 25 years I’ve been using desktops I’ve only bought 3 monitors, I can’t say that about the rest of my computer hardware.

  I hear you there. Almost every meeting presentation room I use still requires my usb-c to vga adapter and I just have to live with it. It’s the natural state of such places I think. It feels so amazing when I can plug directly into my laptop without an adapter. And yea I agree, they are a headache.

  This seems like a non issue dramatised for headlines, they are phasing out outdated sata connection to only favour current m.2.

  It’s like gpu and motherboard manufacturers announcing they are no longer including VGA ports in favour of DVI display port and HDMI. I don’t think that was a bad thing.

  I’m sure some people who are lucky enough to have hardware that still requires SATA want to keep upgrading to new SATA devices but it’s been enough time. I’m ok with just m.2 now.

  If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it’s gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community 😄

  Thanks for that, almost pulled the trigger so I can have an all in one solution for running immich with AI, perplexica and other self hosted AI things. Currently I just serve the processing power from my MacBook and desktop PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate that people have found solutions for avoiding materials that can become dangerous when overheated. I, too, have gone on PFOA-free journeys.

  But oh my god, that egg is swimming in oil! I don’t want that many calories, and I don’t want to feel a greasy egg in my mouth.

  I understand this solution is great for many people, and they should be proud and happy that they have reached their Teflon-free goals.

  But as a person who can’t digest high amounts of fats without consequences and watches their calories, this is only a solution for people who love bathing their food in oil. I also avoid saturated fats, which are superior for their non-stick properties. I want to use olive oil, nothing else.

  But fine, I will try it on my stainless pan and see what happens. Olive oil, heat to smoke, wipe, then a small amount of olive oil again for normal cooking.

  If it works I’ll be thrilled. If not, back to my trusty teflons that never fail me. Wish me luck! Got any more tips?

  I’ve had USB-C devices since my first Nexus 6p in 2015. Every charger I’ve ever had still works. I’ve had one cord fail in all that time. While USB-C has its flaws, durability isn’t one of them for me.
