  1. oh, planting them inside completely? (sorry, my mind is on replacing bricks for a bunch of external harddrives with a smaller footprint thing)
  2. yeah... being a ugreen sponsered for the adapter...they're a bit sparse on the other side. this seems to be what they use for a bunch: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5451 https://www.adafruit.com/product/5451 This seems to be the trigger board mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Type-C-Trigger-Module-Supports-Output/dp/B08LDJBN8P?th=1 I guess I could use this to make adapters to plug in between a USB-C brick and hard drives.
  3. I have a lot of bricks for a bunch of External harddrives.. I wonder if something like this could be done for those and help me clean up the area...they typically need 12v/2a .
  4. Someone in a community facebook group asked after a song from the iPhone health app.. I can't find any info on this, but figured I'd go looking for info for them: "Funny, funny request- Does anyone have access to the apple iPhone 7 or 8 (I think) that has the health app that sang the song about being healthy. It had a heart graphic and the woman with a British accent sang about “…if you eat a little healthier, you’ll sleep a little longer…if you move just a bit more, you’ll feel a little better…” I clearly didn’t remember how it goes and I would love to have access again. I’ve done some internet searches to no avail. I would LOVE it if anyone knows someone who still has access to this! TIA!!!" Anyone have an idea about this? (hmm doesn't seem like Horst has a tagable account here )
  5. yeah.. that video is why I pinged @GabenJr for a deeper dive on this area. He's the only one who's even broached the topic from the user experience pov, rather than just numbers on a spec sheet one.
  6. But my point is...so what? What does this mean in real world usage..not computer science scores...not in freakjob "I dunk my computer in liquid nitrogen to see my name on a list" arenas... what does the normal person using the computer actually experience.
  7. What I really want to know is what the "slower SSD" actually means...like to real people. the slower 256 gets a lot of air time because no click baiter has ever lost out by saying "apple bad", but in real world, real people using computers, not benchmark numbers, not weird percentages...was does it actually mean? Give me comparisons of copying a 1 gig file and a 1 gig size folder full of images...that kind of thing that will actually start to replicated what a user sees. ( @GabenJrI'm calling to you on this)
  8. ,,,,why are we getting sources reports? If this guy is a youtuber, shouldn't we know what he says?
  9. Those are some fascinating figures.. I'd like to see @LinusTechor @GabenJr @James or @CPotter do a video exploring them.
  10. THIS I wish everyone on the internet would do a little reading on the difference...it's even in the names.. TRADEMARK _ marks used in trade COPYRIGHT .. the right to copy content
  11. That's an awful lot of Assassin's Creed titles on that list that I'd have to think are still viable sellers for them to just drop an axe without a plan.
  12. i got a pi 3..and a pi zero..unused..sitting in my project box..for a good couple of years now and the likelyhood of getting around to using them is low..,,definitly should look at passing it along if the prices are good..
  13. What I was prompting above though, was, putting the topic of alexa's "we'll clone your grandma with a sentence" thing...just why Amazon's alexa isn't more..natural...Both those links have much smoother voices than alexa. (I mean, that opens questions why amazon does have multiple voices available..it's accent;s are tied to locational info, rather than seperate...you'd think they'd sell voice packs, because amazon...> Anyway, thanks for the fascinating info... none of this is stuff i've dabbled in.
  14. huh. I find Siri (austrailian female voice is what I use) sounds more ..natural..than Alexa. I assume that's due to some heavy lifting on Apple's part as that's kind of their brand, but every once in a while I'm surprised by how...computery..Alexa is given Amazon being..well run by a lizard man, so I guess it makes some sense. also:
  15. Weird thing to benchmark, but i freely admit to not understanding this level of the computer.
  16. isn't this picture comparing 2 different things? Like, isn't the Ryzen there just a processor while the Ultra is procerssors, gpus, memory, storage, and an ice cream maker?
  17. this isn't about making money off user data...it's about SELLING IT. I didn't say Apple didn't collect and use it to make money...but they're using it inhouse, not passing it off to others. They do? You should check with the WSJ about how much they pay for tips and the evidence you have because you're sitting on a gold mine.
  18. Thank you for assuming I know more than I do on this topic. It is that generous nature that I enjoy your posts in the forum
  19. yeah, I had gone in hoping that would be covered...that I find interesting from the "how the sausage is made" pov. Some people don't want to block ads so that youtubers can get revenue. BUT also, I found that youtube ties it's subscriber functions, like watch history, into the same machines that serve ads...so if you were to say use Pi-Hole to block those sites, it messes with your account if you mainly use something like an Apple TV to watch youtube.....for example. For @James specifcally, something curious is that a number of the streams that showed up. The "I love building computers" and the one that was at #10 with Anthony running the controls..those are often fed to me automatically by autoplay after I've let it go thru a few more recent videos. Youtube likes serving them up for whatever reason.
  20. that seems a silly question. Why would they go to the grey market? for money savings. Would you think of a different reason?
