    90K+ Macbook M4 Pro or Mac Mini M4

    I have a ASM2464PD based enclosure called NewQ something. Real world Seq R/W are around 3-4GB/s My understanding is that anything with Jmicron asm2464 is the preferred option followed by JHL7440. these enclosures used to be around 7-8K but limited supply (would have been a niche item in India)...

    90K+ Macbook M4 Pro or Mac Mini M4

    if you choose the laptop, Get the base storage variant. Spend the saves on a Thunderbolt enclosure and 2TB or 4TB SSD instead. 512GB will be adequate for all your documents and other base data. Any large projects can sit at your desk The newer USB4/TB drives actually do match up onboard storage...

    Why do my 3w LED bulbs glow faintly when powered off?

    I use a fluke and also have a bevy of cheap multimeters around the house. With the fluke, I am comfortable using my own fingers as the ground with the sensor wire plugged in mains. With the cheap ones, I prefer using any nearby metal object as ground. These cheap DMMs are typically rated up to...

    90K+ Will I like macOS?

    I think its the other way around Asim :) if someone's work depends on a OS (eg Linux sysadmin), its a bad idea for them to try switch operating systems to eg a windows or Mac. Or in your case, your clients (and thus your work) are primarily buying systems for use with windows and so you need to...

    Why do my 3w LED bulbs glow faintly when powered off?

    Might as well get one. The basic chinese ones cost less than a medium sized pizza at any local electrical store :) And they are usually more than adequate for basic usage

    Why do my 3w LED bulbs glow faintly when powered off?

    Two possibilities More likely, your switch is wired to neutral and not live.. In which case low current devices can obtain enough potential difference between the active 220V supply and the small length of wiring to the open switch on the neutral line The other being that the switch is wired...

    90K+ Will I like macOS?

    Give it a month or two after setup for the realization to occur that its not even remotely the same I have been using both OSes concurrently for the last 15 years - windows of course has its own advantages (e.g. window snapping is much better even though Sequoia also has the same in theory) On...

    90K+ Will I like macOS?

    As long as you keep in mind that its a different OS. If an iOS user starts to expect Android to be just another skin for iOS then they would end up hating droid (and vice versa) eg for your query on viewing pictures, the easiest thing to do for a pic (or mostly any content file for that matter)...

    90K+ Will I like macOS?

    Its a long odd curve - but its always about muscle memory and familiarity. Else There is very little that you can do in either OS that the other can't .

    Best 3D printer for a first time user under 25k

    Bambu printers are more expensive than their basic counterparts. If you do not want a very large build size , you can look at the A1 Mini also Its the same printer with a somewhat smaller max build volume

    Storage Solutions Looking for NVME enclosure

    With type C i have used RTL9210 and JM583 Would recommend neither With TB, I have used ASM2464PD and can strongly recommend. But the broad take remains the same as i said before. If you intend to use an external SSD as an SSD and not as a glorified pen drive, steer clear of DIY USB C...

    PC Peripherals Help setting up USB Print Server

    Use a Linux VM instead of windows.. Ubuntu will do just fine Printers shared via Linux are way more reliable and as an added benefit, you also get native airprint support on your Mac as well as direct print from ios/ android..(i.e. no need to transfer/RDP etc)

    Storage Solutions Looking for NVME enclosure

    I have been using externals with Macs and linux for a very long time now.. all USB3 enclosures on the market will heat to the point of throttling badly I have tried at least 5 makes and they will all start at 400/500 MB/s and will drop down to under 100MB/s after between 10-30 seconds of...

    FS: Home Audio Video Google Pixel Buds A Earbuds/ TWS : White

    Multi device these days is usually not an issue on mid to high end headphones. These can be paired with 8 devices and can be switched from device 1 to 2 to 8 from the device's BT menu. Additionally they also support 2 device multipoint although I usually prefer the former method since it allows...
