My NUC11 with 8 GB of DDR4 and Ethernet idles at 3-4W when I tell it to not power any status LEDs. Can be power-limited in BIOS so that it runs off of a USB-C power adapter with a fixed 19V negotiation cable.

But it is not low-end for sure. I'm kind of wasting the computer on this use case. It's just what I had after Pi 1B turned out not being enough.

I've had the same free Google Apps account with forwarding for me and couple friends on my custom domain. We didn't use the mail boxes themselves, only forwarded email from the custom address to our free mailboxes. When they moved me to a paid plan, I researched multiple options to keep forwarding for multiple users and ended up getting a forwardemail.net service for 3 EUR/mo.

I'm thinking more and more that the biggest new realization for big youtubers is that they have a very powerful marketing platform bundled for free with their business. You know, the thing they sell for lots of money to other companies to pay their staff and themselves.

And when utilized properly, it can do wonders for promoting first-party stuff instead. Look at how many youtubers found success in selling merch, for example.

I view this on similar vein. Vgdunkey may or may not actually come through with his goal of publishing good games, but regardless, they will probably sell to his fans enough just because of the marketing platform that is his channel.

At ~$2.5/GiB of changes in Europe, this is a very expensive service. Is the sync process that resource-intensive, are they increasing margins to recoup development costs, or is it just targeting (big enterprise) customers that are okay paying this much for data sync?

I feel you on that, but in these moments I remember a quote from Steve Jobs: "You can't connect the points forward, you can only connect them backwards".

Which for me means that you don't yet know what advantage these 'wasted' years could give you in the future. Just trust yourself to make the best decisions you can given the circumstances and you'll get to where you want in as little time as you can.

Yep, finally my TB3 eGPU starts being at least in theory outdated. The fact that there was no improvement in TB speed for the last 5 years is ridiculous.

Edit: but probably PCIe lanes to the controller chip would be somehow a bottleneck as this is meant for display transport first

Just get a Dell charger, they are high quality and relatively cheap.

Yep, a 5-seat personal Office 365 license is $100/year, and academia loves Google's online counterparts which are totally free. My wife who's a PhD also gets a free Adobe CS institute-wide. Very hard to compete with all that.

Overall, when I was doing a data model chart for my current company, I researched good options for doing that in a collaborative manner, and all of them are subscription-based now, which doesn't make sense for making a diagram or two when draw.io is available.

I use MS Edge for trusted websites and the ones I want to be logged into and DuckDuckGo browser for random pages and news articles which are normally filled with ads and tracking code.

The invoices and the "order details" page (one that looks like it's from 2000's internet) should retain the item description at the time you bought the item. That's how I successfully claimed a refund on the item that claimed "2 of item" and shipped me only one.

The Chromium Edge can produce .MHT files as well

If you have kids and live in Europe already with a spouse who also has their hopes and dreams and works in a different field, kids cost you 500k out of the total 600k compensation because you can't (really - don't want to) move to bay area :)

Hey, Europe is not that bad. ASML is the leading semiconductor fab tech producer is based in Europe. They use optics from Carl Zeiss which is a german firm. ARM chip corporation is a UK company. So, like, stuff happens in Europe which is essential to how the world functions today and which isn't at all easy to replicate somewhere else.

You can do "g!" instead of "!g" on mobile. (And even hn! works, but not every other one.) This helped me considerably
