Not a fanboy either way but AMD also has a pretty shitty naming scheme on the mobile side

The form factor I want at 2-3 times the price I’m willing to pay.

Nah, that would actually be a useful feature in SOME scenarios. The copilot buttons are restricted by Microsoft to being useless

Do you use all the cables all the time? If not, you could get a couple retractable ones to keep things tidy. Then just plug in the 2-3 things you regularly use.

What on earth are they building them brighter for?

HDR I think

Their proprietary external GPU connector (xg Mobile graphics) was recently reverse engineered so you may soon* be able to connect desktop graphics cards.

Still in the early revisions, though all the info is on GitHub by osy86

I think it starts to be more of a problem around 230-250lbs. Like they mentioned in the article, the bikes are often listed at a total weight capacity, meaning rider + cargo, with most brands at or below 300lbs. If the rear rack is meant to hold 40lbs and maybe 5lbs of accessories and water bottles then add 20lbs for a front rack/panniers; your getting into the close to the rider weight limit by being anything more than a little overweigh.

where significantly fewer people are overweight or obese

Hey, not sure if you’re getting your numbers from the article, but you may want to double check.

40% of Asia is overweight or obese and over 50% of Europe is overweight or obese, with USA at 75%. (Sourced from WHO)

Also, just an aside: the USA is the smallest of these three by population, so the total number of overweight or obese people in Europe vs USA (240-250M)is fairly close even though the percentages are higher.

Both actually. Each state gets 2 plus the proportional split ( based on population)of the remaining 435. So California as a whole has more say than Idaho as a whole but each individual voter in California has less say than an individual voter in Idaho.

And in addition to the mortgage there’s usually a monthly condo/HOA fee to pay for upkeep of common areas and roofs etc

But elf=B=11. Kinda depends on context if 11 is a digit

Yeah people underestimate the smell of a rotting watermelon. It’s pretty close to durian. Had a friend put one in their trunk and forget about it for a couple weeks, until like a week after it started to smell.

Well that’s pretty reasonable. I figured there was some sort of restriction

With free power overnight, do you charge the batteries up to full before 7AM?

Honestly, if they could just get 8tb ssds down to $200-250 I’d be happy with sata interfaces

The customer is always right in matters of taste.

I’ve had a couple relatives/friends recognize upgradability was a higher priority a couple years later, but others are still using them or since changed to something less powerful. I think I still have a relative running one of the weird Intel nucs with AMD graphics.

Why do YOU need it? No clue. But I can see people without technical know-how using these as a little home theater PC. Or really anyone wanting a smaller form factor. I’ve had friends and relatives get nucs because they want something really small form factor and don’t care about the upgradability cause they’d just buy a newer model 4-5 years down the line.

Honestly the OG stream controller would have been perfect if they could find a way to fit a 2nd analog stick on there

Lmao, the gt710 is the oldest part in my spare parts bin. Too shitty to even give it away. But I can’t bring myself to throw it away since it has a pcie x1 slot so it fits into just about anything

Personally I wouldn’t consider riding one with two wheels in the back, they’re more stable when it’s two in the front. Unlike 2 wheeled vehicles where you’re balancing all the time, 3 wheels gives you a false sense of stability. They’re stable right up until they aren’t, so there’s not a lot of opportunities to practice stabilizing before you roll it.
