Yeah, my G4+ is mostly handling what I throw at it so far. Thought it was having issues with freezing for a few seconds from time to time, but freed up some storage space and it's all good again.

does anyone have any experience with LED lighting strips or other sort of low footprint lightweight lighting solutions? my office has crap lighting, and I don't have many good places to put traditional lamps... was thinking about getting some sort of ambient LED lights... for those cloudy days where my windows don't let anything in
I've installed LED lights in our house under our Kitchen Cabinets, in a display shelf, and in my airbrush booth using these. All you do is screw in a plate or use 3M adhesive stickers then the light hooks up to those. The only issue I've had is a few times I've had to add some extra wire to the cables, because the connecting cables are short.

Hey tech thread has anyone used an HP LaserJet Pro M29w? I need something for home and it has an attractively small footprint and just enough features.

The robot garbage can taking itself to the curb is kind of neat but god it would be hilarious to watch one of those navigate to the street through my yard
Hmm also probably would have trouble with gates... unless you also had a smart gate, and they were networked.......

I'm not a fan of HP home printers. I've had good luck with Brother printers, though.

Facebook's embattled Libra project suffered a major blow on Friday as four payment processors—Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, and Mercado Pago—withdrew from participation in the Libra Association, the Geneva-based group Facebook created to develop the virtual currency. eBay also announced its resignation Friday. eBay's former subsidiary, PayPal, quit the group last week.
The timing is not a coincidence. The Libra Association is scheduled to hold its first official meeting on Monday. At that meeting, members will be asked to make binding commitments to the project. So for members who weren't prepared to commit to the project, Friday was a good day to get out.
But this is an awkward development for Facebook. When the company introduced Libra earlier this year, it said it hoped to grow Libra's membership from 27 companies to more than 100 by the time the Libra network launched in 2020. Instead, the association's membership has fallen to 22 companies.

I'll give HP printers something though: they're HTTP management interface is light years ahead of pretty much every single printer (i.e. not complete useless dogshit). I don't know why printers, even the enterprise ones that costs five digits and you have to lease, have the worst fucking admin software in the world.
It was a good OS, shame MS stopped supporting it 3 years ago and no one else ever did. The idea of a phone that could dock into something and be a basic PC was a good one, it's just a shame it was attempted a bit too early and never developed further. Also, live tiles are excellent for a handheld device. Shame Windows 8 was released and massively (and rightly) soured everyone on the concept before they could see them where they make sense. Also a shame it had Microsoft written on it, cos it never stood chance with that around its neck anyway.
Ahh well. Now I have a nighphone 11.. the purple one.

Don't know about that, my phone will cling to the weakest wifi with one bar and won't switch to the access point I'm sitting right next to unless I manually switch to it.
My bluetooth headphones work most of the time but occasionally they will work for like half a second and just disconnect, and I have to reconnect them and they continue to do this until I reach some arbitrary combination of disconnecting them, turning off the bluetooth on my phone, turning it back on, sometimes turning my whole phone off and on, until somehow it just arbitrarily decides to start working again
Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad P53, a 15.6” mobile workstation that’s extremely powerful and upgradable. The laptop is available with Intel 9th gen Core i5, i7 and i9 processors and the Intel Xeon 8-core E-2276M CPU. It ships with NVIDIA Quadro graphics, at the low end the T1000/T2000 and at the upper end there’s the Quadro RTX 3000, RTX 4000 Max-Q and RTX 5000 Max-Q with 16GB DDR6 VRAM. It’s currently the only 15” mobile workstation with the Quadro RTX 5000, which is the model we have for review. The ThinkPad is available with full HD and 4K UHD displays, including a 4K OLED option. The P53 is designed for 2D and 3D CAD, modeling, architecture and 3D rendering.
I think we've talked about 3d printers in this thread, but Prusa announced a prusa i3 mini, which is a more affordable option with a slightly smaller build volume. I have the i3 Mk3 and it's been pretty solid. Printing with minimal fussing about with it, which is the main thing I want. They also announced an XL if you wanted a larger build area for more monies.

You lasted a lot longer than I did but I'm right there with you. I loved my Windows phone and if anyone had made the slightest effort to support its apps I'd have happily kept using it forever.

I'd've changed to a Nokia something a year ago, but there were circumstances around the work phone situation changing that ended up meaning that it made sense to hold off until now.
The battery on my wife's laptop is swelling. Turns out is a very known issue with these Dell laptops, to the point where they did a recall and replace on them last year and no longer make new batteries. We of course missed that window and now I have to buy 3rd party. I did call support this morning.
My work laptop (and a bunch of my colleagues) had the same thing (lattitude E7470s or something mostly) and talking to a customer, they've also had to replace a bunch in similar models. We all got them replaced through Dell though. Ugly stuff.

Aren't those the same behavior?
You have to flip them over twice before successful insertion?
so yeah I guess men ARE like bluetooth
No encryption and very suspectible to electromagnetic interference
They must use TCP.
Your mom is a USB-C port, she doesn't care which way it sticks in so long as it fits.

EDIT: Got up to $11,379 using their builder, but they were kinda enough to give me a $2100 discount on that.
