    Looking for Advice: Laptop for kids

    Save him while there is still time. :D These OSes have become so easy that kids take no time to use a laptop. Also, schools teach computer basics (Operating Windows/Linux, doing paint using app like Tuxpaint, creating slides etc from grade 1). Probably your kid is practicing what he learned in...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Wow. I am rather not surprised that you do not have a solution for this, something that many hard core users have. FYI, this was more of a problem for those who are on the move and keep connecting and disconnecting from external displays (connected dock). Moreover, even when waking up from...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    OMFG. This shows how woeful your knowledge of both OSes is. Mac All apps open at same state even after restart just by selecting this option. I was typing this comment, added screenshot here and I restarted my Mac with this option. When it restarted, this browser tab was at same point and I just...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Replacement for dead xbox controller. Got this for Hall effect sensor and glowing reviews online. Got it from Amazon for 2,999/-. First impressions Really liked the joystick and keys. Feedback is strong. Connection to Windows PC using dongle was very easy.

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Wow. you are comparing safety lights to keeping a PC on when not in use. I did not know that it will be a hazard if PC is turned off. If this is the case, yes, you are correct about keeping it on even when not in use.

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    How about turning off the LED batten as well when you are out of room (like how I do). Hope now you understand why I am using the terms iSheep or Copium. Saying this again. It's a bad design choice that Apple made. Supporting that is classic iSheep mentality. Wasting power/energy and bragging...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    How you use your Mac is not my business. Defending a stupid design choice saying 'we do not turn off our Macs' is what I am arguing about. A stupid design choice is a stupid design choice, there is no other way around it. I can also say that I have more 'apple products' in my home than I have...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    When a company makes stupid design choices, disapproval goes off the roof. That power button on bottom was stupid. Defending that is, well, side effect of inhaling too much of copium? When many asked why not at the front, copium inhaling iSheep said it will look ugly. I was like 'BC, there are...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Peak load for milliseconds during boot health check is similar to PC running without shutting down for hours? Also, a Mac takes 7-8W during boot up. The whole boot process itself is under a minute, even if you think Mac runs on peak load during entire boot process. Bhai, I am strictly talking...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Though I am fully into apple ecosystem, I do not side with this logic that we do not turn our computers off and they take so less power. The practice of windows PCs being shutdown is good practice. Lets say Mac mini takes 0.5W in sleep mode. If it is going to be off for 8 hours (say), that 4W...

    PC Peripherals Docking Station or KVM switch or both for Mac mini M4

    Any reason why? I just searched on reddit and I see lots of comments on how they delay orders and how bad their support is. Stick to brands that have good stable dock lineup (Dell, Anker, Caldigit, Belkin etc).

    PC Peripherals Docking Station or KVM switch or both for Mac mini M4

    Check https://www.amazon.in/Dell-Thunderbolt-WD22TB4-Various-Resolution/dp/B0B13Y2QVW. The usual problem with these TB docks is the limitations around display. Verify if this one support the refresh rate and resolution of your display. My go to would be Caldigit TS4 but it is ridiculously...

    PC Peripherals Docking Station or KVM switch or both for Mac mini M4

    if only k/b and mouse is your problem, just get a KVM switch. Costs peanuts. Even with TB dock, you will have to switch the main cable back and forth. If you really need a TB dock, what's your budget?

    Is this a good MagSafe 3 in 1 charger for iPhone 16 pro max

    Do not buy 3rd party wireless chargers. They generate significant amount of heat when used with iPhones. Just get Apple MagSafe pick and a cheap accessory that converts it into a stand. I have a ugreen and Apple Original one. Massive difference in charging speed and heat.

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    New finding that shows the atrocious pricing of Apple upgrades. For the price of upgrading to 2TB, you get a PS5 Pro with 2TB storage and still have 100$ in hand.

    Finally secured all parts for PC but need help with assembling?

    +1. This is the way. Do not screw in that mobo atleast till all components are installed. It's much easier to install components when the mobo is outside. Experienced folks would jump the start pins to test it while it is outside the cabinet. Since OP is started, better to assemble, install mobs...

    90K+ Performance limited by the Apple M1 — more cores, faster cores, or back to x86?

    That depends on the need. For my home lab, I use minikube to which I deploy containers. There are lot of guides.
