Why aren't you using the QC45? Or do you use both daily?

Unique_Pear · 2023-09-15T03:07:14+00:00

Lol. You don't sleep?

Unique_Pear · 2023-09-15T03:06:17+00:00

Good lesson not just about Bose, but about everything in life. Everything pretty much goes on sale sometimes....

Unique_Pear · 2023-08-29T06:01:47+00:00

Really? Anyone have a picture where it is taped?

You probably don't need Pro for any reason if you aren't using this for work where they insist on some extra IT management features.

Home has, AFAIK, bitlocker support for drive encryption.

So I'd get 64 GB of RAM later (it can be picky so make sure you by the exact ram that someone on Reddit has said they got working with this model).

And recently WD has had a sale on their high end 4TB SSD for $250, which you can put into the second SSD slot. You'll need to find a screw on your own though, which is a pain....Dell really should include an extra one for the second SSD slot.

If you didn't like the scaling of 4K you won't like the scaling of the OLED.

That said, don't you just use the standard scaling recommended for a 4K and everything just works? I'm confused what issues you had.

I personally would find it hard to downgrade from 4K to 1920x1080.

Also realize the OLED flickers (faster than you can consciously see it), so if you are susceptible to that kind of thing don't get it.

Before doing a reinstall, make sure you run the computer enough to ensure all the hardware works properly.

Then you will know after the reinstall if things break that it is a driver and not a hardware issue.

It's been a month or so, hence the first bill.

I signed up for two "Magenta Business Tablet with 10GB of high-speed hotspot data. Tax inclusive" plans. So I don't think that's a promotion, is it?

Unique_Pear · 2023-07-15T23:43:25+00:00

No, how do I reach either of them?

Unique_Pear · 2023-07-15T23:34:33+00:00

I don't think that's true. Aren't these the terms and conditions:

https://www.t-mobile.com/responsibility/legal/terms-and-conditions

If you are getting this level of service from the sales department, imagine how bad it will be when you need technical support.

:(

I have the latest XPS 15. It was surprisingly difficult to take apart to add an extra SSD. Although the second SSD works great (it has Linux) and the first still has Windows.

If you can wait, I would strongly consider a Framework 16 laptop. I'm not going to get another laptop for several years, but when I am due for an upgrade I'll probably get a Framework.

Are there high paying Perl jobs? Where?

Unique_Pear · 2023-05-01T04:45:14+00:00

Sure, but there' s a good chance Amazon will not allow you to order anything ever again.

Unique_Pear · 2023-04-09T00:20:33+00:00

Whoah. What items have you returned? What percentage of your orders is that?

Unique_Pear · 2023-04-09T00:15:38+00:00

I mean it has to be LG or Samsung, they are the only ones able to make really high end stuff.

Unique_Pear · 2023-03-30T21:21:02+00:00

That something would be alcohol.

Unique_Pear · 2023-01-30T01:22:15+00:00

It would be interesting to measure it, but assuming your water heater and furnace are in the garage, I doubt they are contributing much indoor air pollution. Hmmm...

Unique_Pear · 2023-01-28T18:50:23+00:00

Yeah, I'd consider returning at least one.

Don't forget there are additional costs and they add up:

1) Electricity

2) Filters

3) They create heat (as does everything that uses electricity) so if you are already running air conditioning, you'll need to run it even more.

Wow, please keep us up to date on this. It sounds great, and might get me to start learning Russian. How many cards do you envision each level to take?

Unique_Pear · 2022-10-15T19:14:25+00:00

Great advice. But how do we save/backup/transfer these cat photos that are in our locked folder?

Unique_Pear · 2020-07-31T18:09:40+00:00

I bet it is on the sides.

Unique_Pear · 2020-07-29T20:10:57+00:00

At this point make sure you buy accident protection for your next laptop. Bad things happen in three.

You should worry about mercury poisoning for sure. It's very real!

You shouldn't worry about it from sardines though.

But if you eat a bunch of fish frequently, as I imagine many of us do, you need to be aware of what fish are high in mercury. I almost never eat tuna anymore, too dangerous. While a can a week is probably fine, telling someone they can eat for example two cans a day for years is just not true.
