- Comment on why not all laptops and PCs charging/working via usb c yet,instead of whatever bs charger they make? 2 days ago:
Pretty much every modern laptop runs on 20v internally so USB Cs 100w was super easy to switch to. To get 240w you need to intake 48v and then convert that down to the 20v ish that laptops crave.
The framework 16 is the only laptop I know of that runs on the new spec. MacBooks will do 140w via MagSafe, and the new ThinkPad P1 does it over actual USB C. But almost nothing uses the new spec yet. Given more time I’m sure it will be more popular.

A keep difference is arm machines will get a full days worth of battery life and perform well. X86 machines only can get a day’s battery life.
X86 CPUs must race to idle to get decent battery life. If they don’t idle they’re guzzling power. Arm CPUs seem to handle the light but constantly active loads much better. My m1 MacBook gets me 10-15 hours of battery life no problem. My ThinkPad gets idk like 4 at best. Even factoring in the battery capacity difference they’re nowhere close.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
To be fair the firmware situation ain’t great on arm. The second thing your computer does after it turns on is hands off from firmware to the OS and that process ain’t exactly great or super standardized on any ARM system.
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 5 days ago:
Tell them the landing was real, because if it wasn’t then how would the aliens on the dark side of the moon have told us not to come back?
(This is something my co worker unironically believes)
- Comment on Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes? 5 days ago:
Dark humor is how I live my life.
- Comment on Google Pixel 10a review: cheaper Android is great, but no real advance 6 days ago:
Welp I’m glad I didn’t wait. I kinda wanted to spring for the 10 but no camera bump is a big bonus to me. This is a secondary phone for me so no bump means the two phones sit flush against each other in my pocket.
Not having qi2 sucks, but a case fixes that. I just wish the phone was a bit smaller.
- Comment on Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash 1 week ago:
Oh boy, can’t wait for people to post microslop comments even more.
- Comment on How does genital nomenclature change as a person transitions? 1 week ago:
Depends on their personality. My co worker is trans and she DGAF so I purposefully say stuff like that for the memes. But that’s just how we talk.
You can always ask.
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 weeks ago:
I have met a single digit number of people who prefer hard plastic earbuds over the soft tips. There’s a reason why they’re pretty much the only thing you see in “nice” earbuds.
Have you tried different tips? Apple offers like 5 different sizes because it’s so important to have the right fit. Initially they didn’t fit my ear well, but after a while of trying my ear adapted and now they fit perfectly. Foam is also worth a shot, but they get gross fast.
- Comment on Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car? 2 weeks ago:
Just buy a leaf blower if you’re that lazy. Works infinitely better and will be cheaper after a year or two of snow.
Plus you can use it to dry your car after washing it in addition to any host of uses.
- Comment on Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car? 2 weeks ago:
The heat from your defrost is more likely to crack your windshield than their washers. That shit blows out some hot ass air when you have it cranked to full heat. I really doubt the water touching your windshield is warmer than 120f. Probably not even 100f if it’s outside.
- Comment on Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car? 2 weeks ago:
If you’ve removed 95% of the snow and it’s just the ice left then yeah you’re pretty fine to drive.
The car wash should have heated water which should melt the ice/remaining snow pretty quickly as long as it’s indoors.
- Comment on In the US we have signs that say No Shirt No Shoes No service. When did this become a norm? Also if I am wearing a shirt and shoes but no pants can I still enter? 2 weeks ago:
Indecent exposure already has that covered. Now it’s just the rest of the clothes.

Yes, yes they do. And many are considering that they’re doing this.
- Comment on Is it a good idea to use an Android phone as an external SSD for backing up my home folder? 3 weeks ago:
Op is distro hopping. I don’t think their data is going to disappear in the week they’re fucking around with their computer.
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 4 weeks ago:
Yup. The key is are they paid to save pdfs? Or are they paid to do other things?
I can save the shit out of some PDFs, but I’ve only ever made one sale in my entire life.
- Comment on Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe? 1 month ago:
3rd party batteries are rarely dangerous. They usually just kinda suck. They lie about their capacity, they degrade quicker than OEM.
Your battery is at the point where I’d start to consider getting a replacement. Just know that if you sort by price low to high you could get a battery worse than your current one. But buying expensive doesn’t mean you’ll get a good one either. They’re kinda just hit or miss.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 2 months ago:
I’ve gone through an FX8120, 4560k, 4790k, 1800x, 3700x, 5800x3d, and finally 9800x3d all on the same cooler. Even if I do a big upgrade why would I want to change it if it’s working fine?
Finally this weekend it’s getting demoted to my server and I’m upgrading to a D15 G2. But that’s only because I’m upgrading my server and it’s 10 year old heatsink doesn’t work on AM5.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 2 months ago:
No it’s not. 95c is the target temperature on anything 7000 series and newer. Google says the 5700x throttles at 90.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 2 months ago:
9800x3d is fine on air as lon as you get a nice cooler. I’m personally anti AIO because I don’t want to deal with the maintenance. I’m still using my NH-D14 after 15 years. Under absolute full load the CPU gets hot, but I only game on the computer so it never stays hot for long. An actually modern cooler would be plenty.
At work we have a 9950x running of a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 and under 100% load it cant maintain full boost speeds, but it hovers around its base clock speed.

- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 2 months ago:
There’s plenty of garbage M.2 ssds out there with only 1 nand chip for 1TB. Pretty much any time you sort by price low to high you’ll see some of the most dire SSDs you’ve ever seen in your life. They suck too, quad chip ones are almost guaranteed to be lightyears faster.
- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 3 months ago:
If it’s for new customers only the. Why do they advertise it in the program for paid users? I’m tired of seeing ads for things I can’t even take advantage of.

Digital codes are so much nicer. Well in theory, until they show random invalid codes.

Apart from the front panel connectors on a motherboard, of course. Those fiddly little bastards can get straight to hell.
Wait till you see this. Fucking game changing.
