I think they may be British, and want those who wish to criticize to for a queue

I thought the G number meant how many Gb’s I could store in the cable

I own an HP Proliant micro server gen 8. Sweet machine. I bought it new, but there are plenty used around, great looking device. A real pro server in a small format. Celeron, but you can find i3, i5, or i7, and can take some specific xeons. 4 real HP drive caddies.an extra sata originally for a CD, that can repurposed for an SSD, and USB3 in case you want to add even more drives. Very low power consumption. I have xpenology installed, because of the polished experience, but you can install any NAS OS you want. Xpenology has a ton of apps you can install, and also does docker.

Gifted my kids, both of them already young adults, one of those retro gaming sticks. An absolute bang/for/buck wonder, full of retro emulators and ROMs. Christmas Day, at grandmas was a retro fest, with even grandma playing. Pac man, frogger, space invaders, galaga, donkey Kong, early console games…. Retro gaming has amazing games, where gameplay and concepts had to make do with the limited resources.

My son has a Steam deck, but he had a blast with the rest.

The Wii was a fantastic example of this. Less capable hardware used in very imaginative ways, and had the capacity to bring older people into the games

Didn’t he tell you to read the article??

I would either get a used HP Proliant microserver Gen 8 (I own one. Pretty sweet) or get a mini ITX nas case, 4 or more bays. Depending on USB doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. You can always sell your mini PC. I have slowly learned to avoid the sunk cost fallacy.

Whistleblower deaths should have all of a company’s director’s investigated by default. It may be that 99% are innocent, but just one or two seeing their massively valuable stock, and options in danger, may be driven to such actions on their own.

When CDs were introduced they were touted as essentially eternal and damage proof. Id take M discs xlaim with a pinch of salt

I saw it when it came out, in a theater. When the movie ended you could not hear anyone, nobody moved and when we exited, the silence was eerie. I was exhausted. The movie is intense+

Consumables drop in cost per page the more you pay for the printer. Business printer consumables are cheaper per page.

Lasers are often overkill for many home owners who print a few dozen pages per year. Also, Lasers are inferior for printing photos. Even a cheap inkjets if printing on photo paper are way superior for photos. That said, pay services are the better option for most.

I print quite a bit, so I own a BW Brother for volume, and an Epson for photos and other stuff. I realize I-m not a n average user, though.

I generally use compatible cartridges. I can buy toner for my Brother for something like 15 25 Euro from amazon, and carts for Epson for 25 Euro for an 8 pack. They work fine. BTW, I bought the brother laser, new, in the box, from a second hand marketplace for 60 Euro. Basic printer, not a MFP, no scanner, b duplex but not wifi, which is probably why they sold it, probably a mistake buy and outside the return window.

How is bazzite as a daily driver?

The reliability could be hit and miss no? These could have a bajillion hours on them, depending on where they came from. 20 may be a bargain, until you have to keep replacing them every 2 years or less. Just guessing here.

How would this compare to an AMD RX580? I can’t find this in the usual charts

I have never understood why electronic communications are not protected as physical mail

While I personally prefer this, I’m going to guess that the majority of people are generally not going to be using more than 2 or three usb ports at once. My take is that for most people, 2 Cs, an A, DP or HDMI would be optimal.

The availability of BT and wifi peripherals make this acceptable for many.

I still have a cutting plotter that uses RS232, but that’s connected to an oldish desktop, on the network, so a laptop never gets connected physically.

I’m not saying that this is good, simply that this is probably acceptable for many.

A megafuckhuge IT corp who deals in data doesn’t have backups, right, RIGHT???

AMD. Unless you desire the absolute top dog, AMD has your back. Unless you are ready to pay 1.000+ for your GPU, you are fine with AMD.

I have an under 500€ Radeon and I’m OK with it.

In Spain, in a major political corruption trial, a party turned in as evidence some drives that had been erased by Dban 7 times. They argued that it was routine to do seven passes.
