Fwiw last week my and my family kept our clocks in CEST. My son sleeps an hour longer in the morning. But we go to bed before 21. Aiuto!

Would you be open to do one yourself and share it? (Not sarcastic, just asking)

It doesn't come preloaded with fuel.

outside physics/math a lot of published research isn't reproducible at all. There's been several studies that show this.

Yes, it's a different definition.

Enthusiast in this contest more or less means you are excited enough about something to get a level above what normal people should get and just below professional pricing. An enthusiast camera body can be 2000 euros.

I would say an enthusiast computer is 2-4k.

It really depends what you meant with minimum salary (yearly?) because paying 3 months of salary for a computer like that isn't far fetched. You're not using this to generate recipes for cookies. An enthusiast level car is expensive as well.

Zoom in Veldhoven and then try to see the equivalent of ASML anywhere else.

That's basically what I'm telling folks. My MBP16 is fantastic in that regard. I use the integrated touchpad only

I think the alternative was to contract it out to an IT company rather than push it to the holder. Same as company phones in corporate environments

Apart from cities with crazy density, you underestimate how much solar we could put in the city outskirts, and it would be fine. We have already the power lines anyway to bring electricity from power plants that are far from those apartments you mention.

## Cloud vs Edge:

- 100% guarantee that the data I care about will still be there.

- Costs. Scaling to a few TB is already quite expensive. Some stuff i still back to the cloud, but only the most important of data (pictures of my son)

## Use Case

- Storage

- VMs/Docker/Apps: Home Assistant, Photos app (Immich, Synology Photos, etc.), and some other small stuff like that

## Performance

Running a few VMs/Docker image requires some power, but not a lot. I like that I can choose how much.

## Storage

I had for a long time a 2-bay NAS and upgraded the drives. I just built a DYI NAS and I got a Massive ATX case which supports 11-bay. Why? Because buying a drive is cheaper than replacing drives. Having an ATX case I can still run it with 2 bays, and I still have a computer case If i change my mind.

Ideal storage is a mix of HDD (WD RED, so optimized to run 24/7), SSD and NVME. Each of them is useful for something (HDD for longer term storage, as they are cheaper per gb), SSD and NVME for apps usage and caches

## OS

I was using Synology DSM, and now I went for Unraid. I'm curious to see where HexOS goes in the next few years.

## Design

I only care about noise.

## Budget

~1000 Eur

but that's the proposed change, that their Plus lineup which is generally targeted for SMB/SOHO/enthusiast market, will be working only with their drives
