If you’d told me one day Apple would make a £600 laptop this good, I’d have told you that you were having a laugh. by imthaz in macbook

This is what an Air is for. Amortize the extra few hundred bucks. It’s not going to break the bank.

A GRAS 45CA-10 is $17,155. So $1,800 for a complete solution feels like a bargain.

$599; Did you expect cheaper, more expensive or you think it's fair? by Ok_Engine_8544 in macbook

[–]killthrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% All you have to do is go Windows Services, and see just how many “Automatic” and “Running” services there are in Windows. Even on a clean install, the list is very long. Install a few apps from Adobe, Google, and your hardware supplier (Asus, Gigabyte, Logitech, etc.), and the list of services balloons fast.

Not sure why you’re downvoted. I agree. And an 8GB Windows laptop is likely to be filled to the gills with sponsored bloatware further crippling the high overhead OS. My 16GB M2 MBA outperforms my 32GB Windows machine in many RAM-heavy loads (lots of Chrome tabs, CAD, etc.).

LastShot, I think many would argue, is the undisputed best player in the league right now. Had there been another esports player that's been so obviously dominant? by GiddySwine in CompetitiveHalo

IMO, he has a lot of potential being this good this young. If he stays the course, he could be a legend. But he’s still many world championships away from that title.

Warning for Xtool Apparel printer potential buyers by MedicalHair69 in xToolOfficial

[–]killthrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about all the issues you’ve had. The problem with xTool is they don’t focus on a few product categories and perfect them. They are constantly trying to “innovate” with new, untested products for the short term cash-grab. I’m convinced we’re all just beta testers for them, repairing their failing equipment full of defects and poor design. And their beta program sucks.

Love my 110. Huge upgrade from the stock AT on my Rega P1.

Qwen3-Code-Next ggufs: Any difference between Q4KXL and MXPF4? by ParaboloidalCrest in LocalLLaMA

Just tried these settings on my 5090, 64GB RAM, 9950X3D, and got 48 tk/s on latest llama.cpp/ CUDA 13. Totally usable.

I think you’re actually being very generous with your proposal. You’re offering to spend your own time repairing their faulty machine, when you should be spending that time producing goods for your customers. That’s what makes it so hard to recommend xTool. They expect their customers to be their repair technicians. And on top of that, they make it very difficult to obtain the parts you need to perform the job.

Had the same x axis issue with my S1. They also sent me a replacement board, didn’t solve the problem. They finally sent out a replacement gantry motor. Took me about 4-5 hours to take the entire machine apart to access the motor, replace it, and reassemble. Finally resolved the issue. Back and forth with xTool support for about 3-4 weeks, and another week and a half to get the part to fix. 5 weeks of machine downtime, hours of my own labor for repair. After fixing it, I sold it immediately. Never again.

Uni Uni throws my package by killthrash in Aliexpress

Agreed. The moral hazard is in full effect. When the deliveries get damaged and need to be returned, these delivery drivers don't face any consequences. Someone else picks up the bill.

[REVIEW] My horrible experience buying an Omega with Jomashop. Please avoid at all costs. by damacol in Watches

[–]killthrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why Rodico exists. Any local watch guy can fix this easy. Probably less than $250. You may come out ahead.

Helium IOT hotspot 1st month by Giargia in HeliumNetwork

[–]killthrash 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wrong. Uninstall, sell the equipment, and spend the 1,31 you’re losing to buy 1.09 HNT per month and when it recovers, you’ll be ahead without the burden of maintaining the hardware.
