    You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift

    Not sure if it's just the AI app integrations. They have had a terrible couple of months with their patching QA team, which I believe went on vacation in December and has not made it back to the office yet.

    Apple posted its biggest quarter ever

    I started getting iPhones because apple supports them for about 7 years vs the android makers which only support their phones for 2-3 years. That said, I don't dislike android. I look at using android like using linux when you are in the distro hopping phase of your life. It's cool, and you...

    US could ban Chinese-made TP-Link routers over hacking fears: report

    This is false. We have had to stop using them at work because of how high their failure rates are. We are not even pushing them, nowhere near the switching capacity. Mostly 8 and 12 port switches for high end audio systems in bars, restaurants, and similar. They just die left and right.

    Feeling the itch for a change....

    Ya, they really have a lot of the kinks worked out. Fedora + AMD GPU is as close to "it just works" as you can get on linux desktop at the moment. You are not on a laptop but Fedora has made linux on most laptops relatively painless which has never been the case in the past.

    Repasting Laptops

    Kinda sorta? Its been my experience that it generally is only ~1 ish degree difference between the pad and paste until you get into high wattage chips, which is just not the case in laptops where even a high end cpu is only around 45watt TDP. It also depends on the paste. The benefit is you...

    Feeling the itch for a change....

    I used to love trying different distros and see how they do things. I have got to the point where I just want my stuff to work reliably, have rock solid stability, and require me to put in as little effort as possible for setup and maintenance. My threadripper desktop has been running MX linux...

    How to upgrade as little as possible the Macbook and using it to connect Apple services and iPhone with new iOS for as many years as possible.

    You can get an m1 mac mini for $750 and probably be good until he is in the triple digits.

    Repasting Laptops

    Honestly get a few carbonaut pads, setup a small undervolt and call it a day. I did that with my 10750h and 2070 super and it made a world of difference. https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Carbonaut-Pad-0-2/dp/B07PHN2ZNY

    Linux + Asus Laptop + Steam, a little Help please!

    For a gaming laptop operated by a non power user, I would suggest pop os. Honestly most / all of the configuration and hybrid graphics stuff has already been done for you out of the box. All you have to do is run updates and install your games.

    Sub $300 laptop

    Max Resolution (HDMI)‡4096@2304@24Hz Max Resolution (DP)‡3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel)‡3840x2160@60Hz I don't think you will have a problem. Servers do not need monitors anyway :p

    Sub $300 laptop

    I think I am wrong. For some reason I was thinking the m series didnt have the VT-x stuff for LAHF/SAHF but apparently all post sandy bridge cpu's have it. No TPM 2.0 so no server 2022. That 1.2Ghz base clock is going to be a real kick in the peter, but it should still run. Nice find btw...

    Sub $300 laptop

    I had one of those briefly. They are bullet proof but real dogs in the performance department. What version of server are you going to run? I know it doesn't meet the requirements for windows server 2019+ but would probably run 2012R2

    Microsoft Surface Pro Battery life

    Ya, I have a surface pro 6, but I setup my brothers company with surface pro 7's and they are not really any better. I don't have experience with the new ones that just came out, but unless its radically different I wouldn't hold my breath.

    You can use the $200 microsoft azure credit and not buy anything.

    Microsoft Surface Pro Battery life

    Not in the real world. I used my surface extensively in college classes taking notes with the pen (which is amazing btw,) web browsing, and word/office apps. If I got 5 hours out of it I was doing fantastic. If you cranked it into performance power mode, you would get < 3 hours.
