Good one. I keep mine at 70%, unsure if it matters too much. Google AIO [agrees and cites a few…

For M1 MacBook Air batteries, I think the answer is no pairing / no blocking, but best to check with MacFixit who have Apple-certified…

That's amazing. My M1 MBP is at 84% health after 214 charge cycles, bought Christmas 2020.

As @stewface says, no restrictions on MacBook Pros curiously 🤔 Also, no mention on **refurbs**. Has anyone ever tried cashback for them?…

Hey, thanks for the education, there's more to this than I thought. Cheers. Still have plenty of Qs, like how Source Available doesn't mean…

Guessing it's for similar reasons anyone would choose to *not* open source an app, e.g., it's their IP that they spent time, effort and…

FWIW their chat support is focused on warranty only, and have no idea about the marketing side - fair enough. Likewise their 1800 number in…

Emailed them Tuesday, nothing so far. What are the chances they *don't* actually draw any winners? Less likely for a mob as big as Hisense,…

Has anyone actually seen winners announced on the webpage like they say in their…

Ah, I didn't know that until you mentioned it. As requested (thanks Perplexity): > Yes, cyclamate remains banned in the United States as of…

It was the US that banned it in 1970 due to a 1969 rat study that could not be replicated since — their FDA and National Academy of…

Still twigs! 😅 Seriously though, hypertrophy has a bit more to do with **volume** than sheer brute strength. Because of this, you can…

I almost impulsively agreed with Downvoter's thoughts, but yes, some bodyweight training options are *worthy*. They won't qualify you for a…

Good one, and more RAM is (almost always) better, but shouldn't 24 GB be reasonably comfy to run a single VM or Docker with? Answering my…

Best question.

Bill Gates apparently said "software is more important than hardware" — something I mostly agree with. Figure out what software you…

Indeed. It's a well-written post, but I was keen to find out if RX7 would recommend it in hindsight since he has a Mac that's maybe kinda…
