Serious question, why haven’t you upgraded to an i7 yet? They’d have to be super cheap at this point, right?

Wow, that seems like a great price, almost too good to be true.

20/mo. x 120mo. + 695 =

$3100 over the 10 year (average) lifespan is cheaper than buying 25kwh yourself to diy.

Oh wait, there’s a catch! You’re still paying 9¢/kwh from the battery.

They did on the Rav4 and compared to the Prius it’s selling like hotcakes. Half of the ones sold in the US were hybrids last year, and nearly as many phev rav4s as the Prius

Federal funding for road projects (among myriad others) is being cut, so funding will have to come from somewhere.

If they really wanted to target drivers passing through the state as that claim, they should exempt hoosiers entirely from the tolls. But I think they’re just blowing smoke, so their constituents won’t get mad.

The alternatives, as I see them, would be increasing registration fees or gas tax. Gas tax increase is obviously a no-go, because people will complain about fuel costs rising. Higher registration fees could be possible since they’ve done it before on electric vehicles, but would be argued against as: reducing the ability of poor families to afford a car.

If I had my way, I’d exempt anything below 2 tons, since the heavier vehicles do far more damage. Then use 50% of the revenue to build a cycleway parallel to Kentucky ave, and another at mass ave to 21st and/or 30th.

Lol the designed to be dull excuse always sounded like they were too cheap to pay for someone to sharpen it every 4-6 months.

Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards

Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.

matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.

It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.

If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.

When the premium for double the memory is so small it doesn’t make sense to buy the 8gb model. I’d bet it is 90% forward looking gamers to 10% stable diff/AI.

Yeah, this isn’t even that bad, just a little harmless mold. It’s not like this is the one filled with live wriggling maggots

Haven’t looked at them in a while, but I know the aquarium ro filters produce 1:1 waste: water. Could certainly be more efficient now, but I haven’t researched in a while

If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.

A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.

He better not miss, or he’ll end up like Prigozhin.

What Linux infrastructure? The wikis and torrent links?

Fwiw, I’ve switched 2 computers in my house to Linux. Still researching to find out if I can switch my z13 tablet and keep all the functionality.

If you happen to live near a microcenter, they’re available. Not really affordable though.

Wow, that was a good read! I love his recipe for Detroit deep dish pizza dough.

A week in the transporter buffer should be roughly equivalent to overnight in the fridge

Is it just me or has hackaday gone down hill for the last couple years?

They’re reporting on a bringus video from 4 months ago.

No. the devices on the circuit only pull as much electricity as they need, any unused back feed returns to the main panel/fusebox to be distributed to any other circuits currently using electricity. If there’s still any unused, it goes to the grid to be used.
