They sold the business to Asus and they are releasing new NUCs

Even at double the price you still end up paying under $0.10 per shave - maybe $25/year - and that’s if you pay full price. A small fraction of what you’d pay for cartridges or disposable razors.

This. I bought 500 feather blades for $40 (which is more of a steal than a deal) in 2013 and they will last me many more years

Vladdy?

Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it’s way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven’t checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.

There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.

Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.

It is an issue in Poland. Close to 30% of the population is at Sunday mass and even if priests were perfectly neutral (and they very much aren’t) simply people deciding “I’m already out, I might as well vote” does make an impact on the outcome. Every time liberals and socialists score an election win is after electorate mobilization that counters that.

BTW I agree that voting should happen on a statutory holiday, but it shouldn’t be one associated with a majority religion.

It skews the results towards christian-backed candidates - Sunday mass gets people out of their houses, clergy reminds them to vote and at least hints who they should vote for and they do on their way home.

I’ll be really surprised if arm manages to get 10% by then

Almost. a 10db change is a 10x difference in power and roughly 2x difference in perceived loudness

Decibel scale is logarithmic, which means 10db change is reducing perceived volume by half.

4k 120Hz HDR is what current gen consoles can output right now and what is becoming common even on mid-range TVs (quality of HDR aside). I’d expect you’d want most of that experience or future-proof solution that would allow that when you get a new TV.

I’ve had good experience with EVGA both times I’ve had problems with their hardware, this year most recently. MSI is supposedly OK too, but I never had to deal with their warranty.

• No SBC that I know of can handle 4k 120Hz HDR output, so getting the most of moonlight is not possible.
• Low latency decode requires some work to get running
• AV1 encode/decode has even more latency, do you will be running higher bitrate h264, which in turn means wired network connection is recommended.
• Streaming services limit 4k and/or HDR access on a lot of content to locked devices. E.g. Netflix only guarantees 720p sdr when watching in a browser - how much more you get depends on the deal with the copyright holder.

Tl;dr; a long, active fiber HDMI cable + USB over IP might be cheaper, better and easier. That’s what I ended up buying despite the cable length being 60m (200ft).

I’d have no problem accepting a free car

Same.

It was kind of fun, because I joined the company as a part of acquihire and they came to my entire team to install MDM on our laptops. It turned out we were mostly running Linux, while their MDM was Windows and MacOS only. They left…

They came back 2 weeks later to tell us it would be best if we installed Windows. We told them “no, thank you” to which they responded with surprised pikachu, because they were used to their suggestions being treated as commands. So they left again.

A month later they came back to tell us we really should install Windows to which we responded that we’d have to rebuild out entire tooling and we’re on tight deadlines as-is. It’s important to note that their Windows setup didn’t allow VMs…

Some time later we got an email to let us know MDM vendor will soon have Linux beta. Does it support Arch and Nixos? They’ll get back to us on that. And we started researching how hard would it be to run BSD on a laptop ;-)

Ah, the confidence boost you get when you know your job is absolutely secure and the only reason you don’t quit is because of a retention bonus :D

Because the only 2FA allowed was onelogin push. Don’t ask me why.

They also used an “enterprise” VPN that was acquired by some larger company, was pretty much abandoned at that point and only worked with a proprietary client that took days to set up on Linux - this was fun for me and all my colleagues who ended at that sad company as a result of an acquihire and were 80% devs running linux.

Over 98% did. My job was security adjacent so I’ve had some insight into those metrics

Less than 2% of workforce got issued a company phone for that reason.

Any device required MDM installed to get access to VPN that got you to company network, to get 2fa app, SSO or email.
