    But an iPad will probably perform better than some cheap chromebooks can access 1080p YouTube through the app or desktop Safari has a long battery life (~10 hours on a single charge) has a headphone jack has thousands of tablet optimized apps so that grandpa can do more than just watching videos optional AppleCare

    I beg to differ. OneDrive doesn't have any option to remove the download button when viewing a file other than Office files. Google Drive has one. I'm sure Linus disagrees to this considering that they've complained a lot about Teams in multiple WAN show episodes

    Why would anyone spend extra for a word processor when the cloud email provider also provides word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation (with collaboration), not to mention video conferencing (Meet), online storage (Drive), and security with MFA?

    When your organization/university uses Google Workspace. Also, Google Docs' collaboration tools is just way better than what everyone is offering IMO.

    I don't. I want something that will work out of the box with little tinkering involved. Wired keyboards are not an option for me as I often switch from one device to another. I don't ball out like Den-Fi, I wouldn't even classify as a poor man's Den-Fi and 300 is just too much. The only thing that checks out the most is the Logitech MX keys and that's $100. I found this on Amazon and thankfully they're not charging import fees, only +$20 shipping fee.

    It's a bit hard to find a wireless keyboard that has it all:

    • supports Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz receiver
    • has backlight illumination when typing in the dark (I prefer white LED backlight over RGB)
    • supports multiple platforms (Windows, iOS, macOS)
    • less than $100

      Have you checked out Keychron? Their basic boards are usually under $100, wireless variants support Bluetooth 5.1 (uncertain about the 2.4GHz receiver), are compatible with Windows/Mac/Linux (plus tablets and smartphones), and some have options of plain white or RGB backlight.

      as a keychron owner they're not bad, and also have an option of rgb or dedicated white, you can get hot swappable functionality for a few bucks more on all keebs afaik. just make sure to get a wrist wrest as they are quite tall boards, even at the lowest, and adding sound dampening on the inside goes a long way.

       

      no 2.4ghz to be seen, at least on my keychron k8.

    wrong. Current performance ARMv8 chips are already encroaching both the enterprise and consumer space. One of the considerations as to why ARM will eventually replace x86 is power consumption. Not to mention, ARMv9 now supports 128-2048 bit blocks SVE2 which is important for data scientists doing matrix calculations.

    I wonder if they're still gonna continue manufacturing in the US now that the gov't kicked out AstraZeneca
  19. captain_to_fire
    We are running out of AZ's vaccine, also the mRNA based vaccines are way too expensive to store that's why I'm looking forward to the Russia-made vaccine with spike protein cDNA inside a human adenovirus. China's vaccine is fine, it's just that it's way too politicized here and not a lot of safety data for people like me with an autoimmune disease.

    I hope this is something I can buy unlike the 4000G series which is an OEM exclusive. Basically it's a repurposed Zen 3 with integrated graphics. [here]

      So I was shown this a little while ago.

      Hope the same.

      The 4650G is crazy expensive for what it is. I don't get why AMD decided to make the APUs system integrator exclusive in the first place.

      I think that's why. The APU models have pretty much all been crazy expensive for what they are. I'm guessing out side of SIs they don't sell too well. If you're not moving much volume it doesn't make sense to pay for the tooling and all the boxes to put the APUs in just to have them sit. 

       

      I'm not sure though. I'm still very new to AMD in general. This is actually the first generation I've used one.
