It worries me how much faith people put in ChatGPT. Full array mini-led is leaps and bounds ahead of edge lit for contrast and deep blacks.

I don't believe so. The promo doesn't appear at the bottom of the page for the renewed phones. It would have been nice to save a couple…

Just get those cheap diamond coated sharpening stones from Amazon. They’re amazing for the price.

Yeah through a VM. UTM, VMWare, Parallels etc. it’s crazy but in some circumstances people have found virtualised Windows can run faster…

If you’re asking the question, then probably not. It’s worth it for those that want the best picture quality and deepest blacks. If you…

Similar to you, I usually add water to the still hot pan and put it back on the warm stove to soak. Then hand wash as usual after 30mins.…

Tech products are generally not making any big leaps in performance or functionality lately, it's all just iterative updates, meaning…

And now begins the painful 30 day notice period I have to give Exetel.

“Typical evening speed 7pm till 11pm” vs theoretical max.

I use Brave on mobile for ad free YouTube. As a bonus you can run it in the background (premium YT functionality) via picture-in-picture.

Thanks, yeah I'd like the ability to use a vpn.

OK, so am I really going to notice much of a difference between each model if I'm just surfing the web from a hotel room with maybe 6…

From what I hear the sound on the C855 is pretty good with some decent bass (which tv speakers usually lack). If you watch plenty of movies…

Mini LED and FALD = picture quality, brightness and contrast.

Ouch, ours is still chugging along without any issues after nearly 7 years.

I miss the custom per podcast speed and default skips but on iPhone just say “Hey Siri…” “skip ahead/back X mins” or “play this…

Assuming that was for C845, as the C855 wasn’t released until this year?

I did a quick google and it says the PS5 is backward compatible with nearly all PS4 games. Anyone around used their PS4 discs in a PS5? I'm…

It might be hard to find a screen of the same quality which also has good speakers and a web cam for the difference between this deal and…

Is it rampant profiteering? Yes. Is it a joke for the >90% of users that just use this for light web work, office apps and photo editing?…

I heard the ARM x86 translation (like Apple’s Rosetta) is looking very promising and performant. Native will always be better, but look…

That’s my fear as well, they’ll probably want, or need, to emulate the very profitable Apple business model.
