It’s not like the old device is actually getting thrown in the trash. It becomes a used device for someone on the second hand market. For every rich person buying a laptop every year are a few a less rich people buying an older high end machine every 4-5.

A Kobo is a hell of a lot bigger than that.

Phones are tall and narrow. For reading books you don’t want to be reading 5 words then having to go down a line. Ebook readers are typically closer to 4:3

Lets be honest. When they upgrade their phone they’re not gonna bother replacing the ereader thing.

This device is neat in concept, but probably going to be awful in practice.

Also usually cheaper components.

ITX boards tend to cost more than bigger boards, you’re limited to one slot, and usually the cases are super limited in size for heatsinks or other stuff.

They just see AI and turn off their brain.

“AI bad” has ruined any and all nuance around it.

Why not get an actual micro controller if you want a micro controller? That’s what the pico line is for.

1GB Raspberry Pi 5

But why? It’s a shame to pair the actually pretty damn good hardware of the Pi 5 with that little (non upgradeable) ram. It’s future landfill fodder. The 1/2gb Pi 4 is better for that low price point.

Yeah… I kinda regret not buying some ram that popped up for cheap like 3 months ago.

Maybe they’re just ultra fire batteries?

I’ve pretty much only ever used headphones when playing games. Never been much of a console gamer, always PC. At this point I almost exclusively use my HD 800s. They’re absolutely amazing headphones and the sound stage is incredible for gaming. Far better than any “gaming” headset I’ve used in the past.

30 series undervolt pretty well. You could lose like no performance and save like 20% on power/however that scales noise wise.

Really?!? The company that LTT has invested in might also support some problematic people?

If it’s for new customers only then why do they advertise it in the program for paid users? I’m tired of seeing ads for things I can’t even take advantage of.

The bedtime reminders on the Apple watch are a godsend. Not as obnoxious as an alarm, not as ignorable as a reminder. It’s just unique enough that I’m gonna notice it.

Not anymore. That changed with the Xbox one and PS4.

Considering that they sell Pixels at normal stores, unlike the Nexus devices that came before them. It shouldn’t be any wonder that there’s a lot of normal people using them. Especially when only google was offering long software support for Android phones.

You can only “roll back” to 10 if you just upgraded from 10 to 11. If you bought something new then you can’t “roll back” to something that was never there.

Also if it’s a newer laptop expect a lot of things to be broken or work poorly. A lot of new hardware has come out post Windows 11.

Link 404s

I have the startech usb kvm. It’s expensive new, but used it can be pretty cheap.

Just because you can type that fast doesn’t mean you should.
