Web standards move very quickly, the only other two parties that keep up today are Google with Blink and Apple with WebKit.

It's still far less expensive to add a PCIe SATA or even SAS controller than a PCIe switch if you need to add a bunch of drives.

I am somewhat sensitive to the effect and have been okay with an X3000i. If I scan my eyes across a black screen with white text, I can still perceive the effect - but it's nowhere near as bad as some older DLP projectors.


I have a projector, a BenQ X3000i, in my living room, with a retractable screen. It has the plus side of not needing a dedicated wall, but does perform poorly (vs a TV) if the room isn't darkened. Maybe eventually I'll tie it into my home automation with some smart curtains.

It has low latency, will do 1080p 240Hz, 4k (pixel shift) 60Hz and HDR. Can even do 3D content if you really want...

BenQ did include an Android TV stick in the box, but you can just not hook it up to the projector - problem solved.


I went the other way this year, from an iPhone to a Z Flip 7. It's generally been a pretty good experience - the bloat on Samsung devices seems significantly less bad than it used to be 7 or 8 years ago.

I've stuck with Samsung's keyboard and it has mostly been fine, though it's less aggressive about adding punctuation for contractions etc.


Not supporting VRR is a pretty significant issue.


The iGPU on my 9950X is perfectly capable of driving my Dell U4025QW 5k2k ultrawide. Yeah it would suck for any modern 3D games, but for productivity or light gaming it's fine.

It requires I use the DisplayPort out on Linux because I can't use HDMI 2.1. Because the motherboard has only 1 each of DisplayPort and HDMI this limits my second screen.


There is a great video on creating lithographic masks on Ben Krasnow's Applied Science channel - https://youtu.be/YAPt_DcWAvw?si=RXaS-GY7czqo_TJZ

The photographic steps are pretty accessible.


Was just going to post this. Ben's channel is a treasure trove.


Wonderful, thank you!


> Not only do they make hardware in the US

Many outside of the US would consider that a con today.

Post history is exactly what one would expect...


I have an MNT Pocket Reform with an RK3588 and I do like the device, but yeah, it can be a little sluggish at times.

It is very usable for email, editing documents, code review, etc - but it will struggle if you're trying to multitask heavily.

This CIX SoC is a fair bit faster than the RK3588 though I believe.


There's an RK3688 coming next year (hopefully?) which looks like a perf bump.
