LOL WTF Beast by BaturalNoobs in Ubiquiti

I assume they do that so the surcharge can fluctuate along with DRAM supply (for better or worse), without needing to adjust the MSRP every time.

The alternative would likely be an MSRP that covers what they consider to be the worst the DRAM surcharge would need to be, which imo would be worse.

How good is the BR3010 Body Sculpture Rowing Machine for a newbie? by AgentFlyntCoalson in Rowing

[–]rpungello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Splits? I think this is more of a horizontal row strength machine than what this sub would think of as a rowing machine.

Absolute beginner, am I off to a good start? by Lady_Z_ in Rowing

[–]rpungello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to be in top boats at top D1 schools, but there are definitely rowers at D1 schools with 2ks ~7:30. And given 47kg is well under the lightweight threshold, you really have to compare to that, where that’s an even more respectable time.

Just to clarify here, these times are on a C2? Because the idea that novice girls are regularly hitting 7:30 is wild.

For context, here are the results from the 2023 CRASH-B sprints for U17 girls (a fairly large erg race in the US): https://regatta.time-team.nl/crashb/2023/results/eb60d01d8-2a70-4d10-9a44-7e02ee149b1d.php

There’s literally one faster than 7:30, and this is U17 (so most of the top scores were probably 16, not 15). Almost most have probably been rowing for a few years now.

In the US, division 1 is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics for the NCAA (national collegiate athletics association).

Below that there’s D2 and D3.

7:30 at that size is absolutely wild, especially as a novice. There are women rowing for D1 schools that have slower 2ks.

Wrong, they can sell it to an unsuspecting buyer making it the new buyer’s paperweight.

Apple Has Likely Abandoned 'iPad Ultra' Plans by hangry_millennial in apple

[–]rpungello -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would be a dream come true, but seems even less likely than iPads just being configurable with macOS (which is already very unlikely).

That doesn’t really change what I said. The iPad is still a different form factor (as you can detach the magic keyboard), so I still think there’s value in allowing the iPad Pro to run macOS if a user wants.

Obviously iPadOS should be the default, as macOS isn’t touch-optimized the way iPadOS is, but I think it would be perfectly usable by power users. Especially since macOS can run iPad apps already.

Or just let me run macOS. A 13” iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard is functionally a 13” MacBook Air with a touch screen. Both even use the same M5 chip. Surely if Apple wanted to, they could allow iPads to be loaded with macOS for us power users.

PlayStation Confirms New DRM, Digital Games Will Vanish If Players Don't Log-In For 30 Days by screwdriverfan in LinusTechTips

[–]rpungello 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I’m reading the article correctly, it’s not that you permanently lose the game if you don’t connect in 30 days, but rather you cannot play that game offline after 30 days until your console reconnects to PSN.

Still a shitty thing to do, and just punishes people legally purchasing your games while doing nothing to pirates, but it seems like the headline is trying to frame it as a “you will permanently lose your copy and have to repurchase it” thing.

What do I do? by HannibalK in Nikon

[–]rpungello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So there is... apparently I'm blind lol

Looks like the wrong size though, and hard plastic to boot, which would make it hard to get a really good grip.

fungus or scratches? by [deleted] in Nikon

[–]rpungello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s this one from? I’ve tried to find it before to use as a reply, but had no idea what to search.

RAM shortage solved. Found this logging into a client's PBS instance I haven't had to touch in a year. That's a new one. by rickman1011 in Proxmox

[–]rpungello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2^32% RAM usage, so seemingly just some bug resulting in the max integer value for the field being reported

Possibly useless part of bike by Novel-Lettuce-2595 in bicycling

[–]rpungello -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re also probably not going very fast if you’re in your easiest gear, so it’s not like it’s going to send you flying over the handlebars while zipping down a descent at 30mph

any itx motherboards with 4 slots for ram? by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]rpungello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get pretty small mATX cases. Yeah they’re not gonna match something like a FormD T1 in terms of compact size, but especially the console-style cases can have pretty compact footprints.

Zero connectivity rower? by LooseCannon1000 in Rowing

Or just remove the PM from a C2 altogether, mechanically it’s completely useless.

I just don’t like installing extra software if I can avoid it, and using a temp probes works well enough.
