Agreed. I’m under half of 120 and it’s depressing to think this is the best it would be for the next 60+. Things like vision, vertigo (those roller coasters just hit different after 40) etc.

I have a dual socket R620 with 256gb RAM that I never turn on (proxmox) and another box with a single xeon 1518d (esxi). Collapsing both down to a repurposed Sophos SG135 (atom c3558) with 32g ram, 512gb sata and a noctua fan (proxmox). I already use another sg135 running opnsense. I run mostly lightweight loads anymore (HomeAssistant, netbox, unifi controller) so I really don’t need things turned on that have overkill horsepower. I have a separate file server that I need to upgrade sometime (old 4 core bulldozer amd) but it keeps chugging away.

I’ve resorted to a rewatch of shows prior to their new season launch. Wheel of Time is one such show I’ve done this with; also Arcane - there’s so much to follow and my brain tends to just lose details over time for shows. I’ll be watching Severance season one again soon.

Are you doing this nas on custom hardware? Curious about the build if so.

Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.

Yeah I seriously was considering one plus back in the day when they still had a jack (flagships). Was not impressed when they dropped that… And my memory, while bad - seems to recall that they said they weren’t going to remove it at one point.

I picture this as Tom Cruise from tropic thunder. That’s his bad guy persona.

Thank you for this. Just recently picked up and played through twice Gris and Neva. Even though they’re short as well I really find myself loving the visuals, gameplay and the atmosphere created by these games.

I’ve found that while Bluetooth works well enough, my admittedly cheap Bluetooth mouse has an ever so slight lag to it. I only use it when out in the field working but it’s disconcerting to say the least.

I like USB C - mostly. If only Logitech would actually create a tiny usb-c unifying receiver…

I still have an audio CD with their malware embedded. Ripped it under Linux, no problem.

As someone who owned a car without AC for several summers, I’d say you’re incorrect on that assumption. In fact, this is something you can try in the summer time with any car with AC. After a hot day in the sun, go drive around without the AC on and just the fans on and windows down. How do you feel? Then kick on the AC (leaving the driver’s window down, stimulating running a route delivering to mailboxes.). You’re telling me there is NO difference in feel without cool air blowing at your body?

I’m not putting the calculations of how many more dinosaurs will be used to in this, I’m merely focusing on the carrier being a little more comfortable during their drive.

I’m sorry, I seriously was not aiming to offend, I was merely trying to share a joke in my head that didn’t resonate well. My apologies.

There is a small relief provided by blowing the cooled dehumidified air over the warm sweating body using the dash vents. This would give the person a chance for their body to better perform the evaporative cooling process even if the cabin can’t stay at a constant lower temperature. I’d argue doing something to help with the comfort of the carrier is better than a vehicle without AC - and understandable it’s worse for the environment because of the waste heat generated in the process.

Given the details here, it initially sounds like you’ll have issues getting your wife over to the UK because… Checks notes… She’s a librarian lol

Just read a review on Amazon today about a newer brother printer that they’ve instituted a lock out on toner. Was telling a colleague that they were decent enough to not do that… But then I ate my words
