MHI had a stellar reputation back in the early 2000s. They were regarded as much better than Mitsubishi Electric. So the public perception…

Makes sense. Based on what I've seen of four-year-olds, I'd take the iPad.
09/06/2026 - 10:32
This is the current base-model iPad. I can’t imagine it being unsuitable for a 4 year old - I’m a 50 year old software engineer and…

Waiting around for cheaper hardware has been a sure-fire path to disappointment over the past couple of years. Are prices turning around…

It’s actually wider than the Kona, although a tiny bit shorter. 1850mm wide is just ridiculous for a small car. It makes it no easier to…

A Yaris is the perfect size. I’d like a bit more ground clearance, since there are quite a few steep driveways around here that mine…

By definition as a “relaxing simulator”, it won’t help you relax. It will just simulate it. If it actually induced relaxation, the…

I wish they made something similar, but a bit smaller. 4000mm x 1700mm is really the sweet spot for a small car. The inflation (in width in…

The sole reason it was misinterpreted is the “lol” at the end.
02/06/2026 - 22:23
The "lol" at the end seemed mocking. My point is that AM4 is still a very valid choice for a budget upgrade. If you have a 6th-10th gen…

It's still one of the best sockets to use all the DDR4 RAM you have lying around. I'd take a machine with the 64GB of DDR4-3200 I have…

If you want to try, make sure you use llamacpp-rocm. Ollama runs everything through Vulkan on 9060/9070 cards, which I found to be…

ROCm support is becoming surprisingly decent for local LLMs. Recent "llamacpp-rocm" releases have really improved things quite a bit. I'm…

It seems to just be this kit. The next-cheapest 2x16GB kit at MWave is $387. So we have a single kit for only twice what similar RAM sold…

I bought one from the Apple Refurbished store for $509 four weeks ago. At the time, a large batch came in with various colours and storage…

I've regularly seen the base (A16) iPad for around $500. In fact, the Apple Refurbished store often has the base A16 iPad for $509…

Actually, that's incredibly relevant in this case, because the Intel HD Graphics 2000 is spot-on the minimum requirements. With graphics at…

I wonder how many people tried ordering this simply because it was "good value", rather than actually having a use for this old junk.…

A mesh system is configured such that all APs advertise the same SSID (just the same as a conventional multi-AP system). Then it's up to…

Good quality access points with a wired backbone do really make a huge difference. However, "mesh" WiFi with a wired backbone is kind of…
14/05/2026 - 14:12
I went through too many cheap WiFi setups (mesh and otherwise), none which really worked reliably. In the end, I caved in and ran Ethernet…

It's an entirely different thing. The "zoom" on the iPhones takes a moderate telephoto lens with a tiny aperture, crops out the middle…

That number seems suspect. allbinos.com reports 2.8m: https://www.allbinos.com/151-binoculars_review-Olympus_10x42_EXPS_I.html The official…
13/05/2026 - 14:43
It's really hard to judge that. It depends on what you need. They're not top-of-the-line binoculars. Reports from allbinos.com show:…

I doubt that's happening any time soon. GPUs will increase in price once the existing supply contracts for manufacturers are re-negotiated.…

For LLMs? Vulkan on llama.cpp is actually decent with some models. For example, this card canload and handle GPT-OSS:20b at decent token…

I have this card in my SFF PC, which I try to keep near-silent, and I think the fan is a tad more aggressive at stock settings than it…

Nintendo only has a minor (33%) stake in the Pokemon Company, and it is run at an arms-length in Japan. Globally, there's a much stronger…

This is a pretty standard third-party game release. They generally either require extensive patches or come as a key-card. In either case,…

Many deep learning models are CUDA-only. But for LLMs, Vulkan support in llama.cpp has come a long way. You definitely still pay a penalty…
