I’ve had a folding Samsung for the past year and it’s really great. The hardware and software do need time to mature (in fact, the phone is nearly useless in “folded” mode without third-party apps), but at this point I don’t think I could go back.

azl@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon customer receives fake Ryzen 7 9800X3D, turns out to be decade-old AMD CPUEnglish17·2 months agoI was shopping for this same CPU last week and found an Amazon third-party store named something like “Big Tech Deals WE RECORD SERIAL NUMBERS”.
If you have to name your store that, it’s obviously an unsolved problem in the marketplace.

But based on my observation of the diagnostic and critical thinking skills of the other 90%, they are probably never going to figure out how to use Lemmy.
And somehow we need both types (maybe for sample size?) in order to have a thriving niche community about anything.

Cargo vans are more popular in IT since they protect from rain and sun but a flatbed is certainly better than trying to put heavy, sharp-cornered things on fabric or leather in the back of a passenger car nearly the same size as my (light) pickup.

Pretty cool. I wonder if this could be scaled up to a more life-sized print? Maybe go-kart sized???
The STL files are $27 - not free, but I’m sure the designer put a ton of hours into this.

Regardless of whether you (as a patient hopelessly unskilled in diagnosis of any condition) trust the method, you probably have some level of faith in the provider who has selected it. And, while they most likely will choose what is most beneficial to them (cost of providing accurate diagnoses vs. cost of providing less accurate diagnoses), hopefully regulatory oversight and public influence will force them to use whichever is most effective, AI or not.

What they claim these glasses can do is absolutely incredible (we won’t really know because they are only being used internally for further development).

Memes, comedy, maybe some more legitimate uses too. A lot of YouTube is some guy just sitting in front of a camera in the most boring perfectly curated home office. Throw in something visually interesting that enhances the subject matter and I may watch more.
azl@lemmy.sdf.orgto DIY Simulators. Simracing, Flight simulators and more@discuss.tchncs.de•Trying out a 4 monitor configEnglish11·8 months agocan’t argue with that… if you don’t want to VR, that’s a nice setup. Easier to find your beer too.
Just a couple thoughts (I have a mix of 2.5Gb and 10Gb):
Mikrotik switches are a nice alternative to Unifi. Much less lipstick on the UI but reliable and fairly priced.
If possible, you’ll probably want to use your own router rather than the all-in-one provided by the ISP. In my case, the router provided to me (Eero brand) did not even have a port fast enough for my service, and would have been an instant bottleneck.
Options for 10Gb-capable PCIe adapters (what you might put in your server or desktops) are more limited (at least they were when I transitioned a couple of years ago). Intel-based network adapters seem to require less effort to get working (driver-wise) vs. some of the other 10Gb / SFP+ capable adapters.
Finally, you are correct: nobody needs an 8Gb internet connection. Aside from well-seeded torrent file transfers, you will never reach that limit (and probably still never). And, you’ll need an adequate storage backend to write that fast.
