  1. Vivo rule the foldable game. 

     

    A 5700mah battery in something less than 5mm thick is quite a feat. Too bad they're never brought to NA. 

  2. Time to shrink the DAP collection. I wonder which ones will get axed...

      I'm going to have to assume that was rhetorical. 🙃

      The WHAT collection?

      Digital Audio Player 😉

  3. Nvidia Blackwell sure looks interesting...

      Yup, especially the packaging side. Think Apple's Ultra CPUs are probably the nearest products to it with Blackwell's bandwidth numbers about 4x that claimed by Apple. Want to dig deeper some time.

  4. Looking at the housing market really has me considering leaving Canada.

      well don't come to the US, it's no better here

      Haha it's better than here for sure. I've looked at the listings. I likely wouldn't move there for other reasons though.

      Wait, there is a housing market?!?!

      I thought it was all corporations, glory to them, which leased us poors houses at wonderful prices!!

      /s

       

       

      Edit:

      Forgot to add serious talking points.

      Housing market sucks completely across the board which is really rough. Sure there are some places but usually it's miles from anywhere out in the middle of empty land or in super small towns with little to offer in some circumstances.

      Haha, I'm a firm believer of banning foreign nationals from buying property. There's no reason for it. I wouldn't even mind living out of town, there's just very little available. I'll probably wait another year and see what's happening then.

      Come to Alaska. It's that happy middle of Canada upsides with less than normal US downsides.

      Haha one of my coworkers just came back from a posting there. She said she loved and hated it. I'd avoid it for the bears. One of my irrational fears 😂

      Haha, I don't think there's really a good party though. They're all fucked in one way or another.

      Nope... But only one is acknowledging problems most Canadians are actually experiencing rather than pandering to I don't know what. 

  5. Virtually everyone has a phone, I know almost no one with a tablet. There's just not as much demand sadly. I've often been shocked by how weak the tablet ecosystem is.
  6. New build, but depending on what you play at what resolution you might be able to ride out that 1080 for a while.
  7. 5600x. Maybe more RAM, as it's cheap. Then save up for an entire system upgrade.
  8. I like the idea of the Narwal, but $1,600 for a vacuum cleaner is a tough idea to swallow.

      I consider $180 to be expensive for a vacuum cleaner, and that's about my limit unless there's something that's super compelling about it. But it's a vacuum cleaner, so I doubt that would ever happen.

      Ehhh. $180 gets you a mediocre vacuum, unless you get it on sale. I got mind for $180 down from $550. It's undeniably significantly better than cheaper vacuums; the amount of extra dirt it picks up is honestly a little disturbing.

      We have two different definitions of mediocre then.

      I still can't believe narwhals are real tbh. 

  9. If you're doing "real work", wouldn't you be after a Xeon anyway?
  10. I don't think it's as much them taking your data as it is bad actors being able to indoctrinate the vulnerable. Like the case of the US serviceman that set himself on fire. I'd be glad to see this gone, though to be fair I'd be glad to see most social media gone. Such a waste of most people's time. Now I know what old people felt like when tv's were taking off. Welp.
  11. It's not that bad with proper PPE. If you think lead is bad, just wait until you find out how bad cheese dust is...
  12. $20 air fryer? Yes please. 

  13. I wouldn't be too worried about it TBH. Most SSDs will go far, far beyond the rated drive endurance. I believe it's more of a warranty thing. They tested x number of drives, all lasted within that time, so that's the rating they'll give them so that they don't have to file as many warranty claims.
  14. I'd probably look into more storage. 1TB these days goes by pretty quickly.
