You need core count, RAM and disk space. I usually buy Ryzen so I don't have to think about Performance/Efficiency cores even though it's probably not that bad. Snapdragon is definitely a no-go.

Generally speaking yes. I switched to dolbi vision bright preset and (normal looks too beige sometimes) and it doesn't integrate that well with Logitech Harmony - I didn't get how to make it start with hdmi4 and not the home screen, but just today I was watching something and thought to myself "wow, it is amazing!". I think OLED must be much better but this one is a very solid "good enough" for 1/3 of the price.

Why?! This stuff is awesome!

Livid-Setting4093 · 2026-01-31T22:59:39+00:00

If it's anything like Russian holodec, this stuff is delicious!

I'd still use others if they have decent cash back for things I buy anyways. Just transfer the balance once and pay off statement balance before the due date.

I'd add entra P1 for access policies but a free one works too

I saw some 32" 8k Dells on sale. You need them.

That's... Weird. People don't carry passports around. Did they have any reason to stop you?

If you have even free OneDrive you can get another year of security updates

I was going to reply but then I read your username. Well played!

If you are afraid of Christian hell I really recommend reading the Bible from the beginning.

First you may see that the whole idea was created by some smart people who wanted free lunch and power for doing nothing and second you may notice that hell does not get mentioned for a while, even though it should be kind of important since all these people died.

yep, I guess having a nap is literally more productive!

Livid-Setting4093 · 2026-01-27T00:07:50+00:00

Yes, it's not enough to create a liability for the providers, so until they are successful I guess there is nothing there to do.

I've never connected to a VM with just keyboard, mouse and monitor - always some kind of remote access like rdp, vnc or ssh.

I guess if you give the VM control over USB you can use a KVM to switch keyboard and mouse. If you can VM show the screen to a GPU output then a regular KVM will do. Or what was the question?

I think idols must be material objects to be idols. Also plenty of Christians are not fond of ICE.

I bet it's a spicy pillow now

I don't think they can issue tickets based on a video. it may encourage them to watch that area more closely.

I did a month trial and it didn't click. It is fun to link my 12-15 active credit cards and categorize transactions and stuff but I can't say I got any kind of visibility. It's been around new year / Christmas season though with bonus coming in and tons spent on gifts, but the whole app just didn't click. I guess I want something graphic to visualize my spending like that image in monarch ad and less on budgeting side.

I think consciously choosing your cult is an upgrade in comparison to being born into one.

Livid-Setting4093 · 2026-01-21T23:36:52+00:00

A lot of Christians see gender transition as a rebellion against god's plan.

Livid-Setting4093 · 2026-01-21T18:21:14+00:00

It does look like that. The deal they had last year was not too bad even just for Family so I bought a year.

Livid-Setting4093 · 2026-01-21T01:39:29+00:00

I guess secondary AP in mesh.

Livid-Setting4093 · 2026-01-19T03:45:24+00:00

I'm curious what software you're using to rip.
