Or BT controller soldered onto mobo
I mounted it on a wall before I found it out. Neighbors haven’t bothered to connect to it once, so I haven’t risked accidentally breaking it during dismount. It is scary enough to adjust it on it’s mount, considering that most of it is a thin and fragile oled panel.
LG C series OLEDs are a pain. If you connect them to wifi, they’ll give you Apple TV and other “promotions” as pop up notifications at random times.
These TVs also have Bluetooth which cannot be turned off and any device can try to connect to it, giving you a non intrusive pop up of 20% of your screen area.
And their customer support is absolute garbage. In my area, you’ll have to call them a few times before anyone picks up, then there is a 50% chance that the clerk doesn’t speak English nor your local language. Sometimes you’ll give up on calling them, as no one responds. You’ll be happy to know that they will call you back in about a month.
Rule of thumb when buying electronics (or anything for that matter) is buy it cheap, buy it twice.
Nervously looks at the 10€/TB refurbished drives that just arrived
Imo untested always means dead. Especially when it is something easy to test - like a laptop
Most of the gold’s price comes from it being used in jewelry and as an investment. Less than 7% of gold is used by the tech industry

There should also be a 30sth page doc about how the e-voting machines are set up, configured and secured somewhere. But it is in Estonian and I can’t be arsed to find it now
Everyone in Estonia has to have an ID card, which contains the RSA keys and x.509 certs for giving digital signatures.
You were doing the God’s work
Ah, sorry, I misread your comment. I understood it as you’ll never need a smart temp control as a static temperature is always correct.
Audio quality reduction might not be noticeable to the average user, as long as they don’t use the mic
FM on a phone is a banger. I used to have an old Nokia with a FM transmitter as well.
To be honest, the FM transmitter was more reliable and easier to set up on a random car with no aux than Bluetooth was.
SD cards are awesome, because a high quality 256GB SD card costs about $30, while a 256GB memory upgrade is at least $100 with no option to transfer when you get a new phone.
Cloud storage is pretty expensive and only as fast as your internet speed is, so for a lot of people that is not really that feasible. Especially considering that some have data caps as well.
3.5mm jack is just more comfortable to use for a lot of people, especially when they have multiple source devices and want to switch between them. I have BT headphones and it is way easier and more reliable to just replug the wire than to go through the BT disconnect reconnect dance.
The issue with dongles is that you’ll have to find the correct aux dongle, some phones support analog passthrough, others require active dongles and so on
If you have a home office or someone is at home 24/7, then yes. Otherwise it would make sense to reduce the heating/cooling of the house when no one is home and setting the correct temp again when people are about to get back. Saves quite a few bucks.
Wtf is a smart scale?

Most of Protonvpn addresses seem to not be in those lists usually. I haven’t had any issues with anime sites, Netflix etc
That doesn’t mean it will continue to be the case, it might just also be that I have gotten lucky so far
Logitech m330 with a single AA Ni-MH battery. Have been using the same battery for the last 4 months, wondering when will it die.
I also have a smart charger for the batteries, so I can just keep them in there without the risk of damaging the batteries. The moment the battery dies, I’ll just take another one and swap it quicker than it would take me to find a usb-c charger.
