But this invalidates your point of upfront or later cost. Electronics are a gamble at best. But no way his dishes are going to come out 2-3x better cleaned. It might not even be a 10% difference. Did you had a chance to check the cleaned dishes from a Midea dishwasher?

My uncle's Sony Bravia went kaput after a year. The repair costs from Sony were equivalent to 50% of the TV's purchase price (2L). Now he is running a Xiaomi Smart TV purchased for 40K since last 4.5 years. Ok But if they are satisfied with the outcome - clean dishes frm their perspective then...

So what? Customer is getting a better deal. My loyalty lies with my money and not with any brand. His savings of 30K over the Bosch purchase will also appreciate by the time he needs a replacement. He is covered by a 2 years warranty.

Better after sales service with these so called larger companies is a Myth. Had enough trouble - Apple, Sony, LG, Samsung, etc. Better go for value with the Chinese offerings and replace the product as they go kaput. Luckily it's been smooth sailing with them since a decade and complete value...

You should keep a lock as you are also responsible to protect your employer's data from leaking in case of theft.

Fair point. OP can repurpose a spare laptop or tablet to remote into the Mac Mini. They are not sure about travelling. Spending 2-3L on a laptop which have a higher failure rate, higher wear and tear might not make sense at this point of time. It can also easily get outdated down the line as...

Get the base M4 mini and RDP/VNC into your system from your office macbook if you need to go out. A laptop is a laptop end of the day and have too many points of failure.

Obligatory! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Apple launches M4 Macbook Pros. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/10/new-macbook-pro-features-m4-family-of-chips-and-apple-intelligence/ Apple will also sell 16gb M2 and M3 Air at 8gb base model price. I guess...

That's the same overconfidence in the West allowed China to dominate in many industries today. Never did. But that's not the point. They are doing better than the expectations. Yes. But they are in a better position than the mass expectation of them being multi decades behind. They don't need...

Title also says reportedly. I never said for sure about these latest chips. We have reviews for their old chips by non chinese and western reviewers. It's been a common theme to ignore Chinese until it's too late. They were said to be decades behind but they seem to be only a decide behind now...

@blr_p I believe in data and benchmarks. Benchmark for their previous iteration which is closer to Zen 1 1500x. https://chipsandcheese.com/p/loongson-3a6000-a-star-among-chinese-cpus It's not hard to believe that they can reach raptor lake's i3 performance from their last known performance...

There are still some coders who try their best to optimize their code and rely less on 3rd party libraries even if it consumes a lot of their time. I hired a guy for a small javascript project. That guy went ahead and imported express web server module and some other modules into node.js. I had...

Use Syncthing Fork available on Google Play. I have used it for a year. Only for the android app which is a wrapper and not the binary itself.

There is a start and I feel things will pickup as Right to Privacy, Choice and Quality is gaining attention. EU mandated changes will also appear in other countries due to other govts following them, people raising their voice for the same as they get to know about them and companies having hard...

I think this is where the regulator needs to step in. Companies will always try to squeeze the last bit of margin. EU is working in the right direction on this front (usb c, removable batteries, better privacy, software updates, etc) and I expect many other countries to copy EU.

Check attached screenshot. I am not sure how powerful is A5000 but this is what it might cost for equivalent solution in the cloud. Cloud solution seems costly for you + no resale value. I get a M1 mini cloud pc on rent for a day every month for testing purpose. Hardly costs me 3 euros and the...

Highest single core performance for 50K. Most applications are single threaded in nature. I don't think we can make any PC comparable to the M4 mini performance for 50K. Initial investment will be higher on the pc side and upgrade costs will add up. Whereas it will be easy to resell m4 mini and...

I think he meant AI is doing the grunt work.

India ranks 2nd in IP theft worldwide. Guess our relatively smaller manufacturing base kept it under wraps. They've repeated this pattern in various fields: IP theft → improvisation → reselling to the same companies.

I use a tablet as my primary device. It works for me as I have access to many VPS and dedicated servers. I see all above will significantly improve my experience. Faster compute, closer to desktop experience will also help poor who can only afford one device to learn. A 10-15k device can be...
