I see comments like this about EVs all the time but it just isn't my experience at all. I've never in my life charged for an hour at a DC fast charger.
On most EVs, you'll see a 15-30 minutes for 0-80% charge but you don't have to charge above 60% where the charge rate usually slows significantly.
For instance, a 10-60% charge on my car takes about 10 minutes and that gets me close to 150 miles of range.
All of this assumes you don't have access to level 2 or even level 1 charging. If you do, then you'd never need to go out of your way to charge.
I quite enjoy MacOS but they are way more likely to break backwards compatibility than Microsoft. I would argue that one of Microsoft's biggest problems with Windows is that they don't break compatibility often enough. The engineering effort they put into maintaining support for archaic software is pretty immense.
This is nothing new. Windows 10 will be 10 years old at that point. They’ve done paid extended service for several previous windows versions.
I don’t like Windows or Microsoft. I run Linux or MacOS where I can but I can’t fault them for supporting an OS for 10 years.
I get it that people don’t like Elon. I don’t either, but I’ve gotta say the Tesla Model Y is my favorite car I’ve owned. I’ve owned 7 or so cars at this point.
I’d rather not own it at this point for Elon/political reasons but it isn’t because of the car itself.
There aren’t alternatives is my part of the USA due to lack of charging options.
That is changing now that Tesla’s network is opening up but that hasn’t happened yet.
I've done my share of distro hopping and I must agree with Pantherina@feddit.de.
Fedora has the near perfect balance of being stable and always up to date. I found the codecs and non-free software to be a non-issue. You enable the RPM Fusion repos and install then like anything else.
Hard disagree with this. Both of these games are large zone, systems driven games which makes them more demanding on the CPU than many games out there. Starfield will probably a little more GPU demanding than Baldur's Gate 3 due to dynamic lighting systems and draw distance.
Curious what you use instead? Been looking for something that’s convenient to use, full resolution pictures and videos, desktop apps, etc. Sadly, WhatsApp is currently my leading choice with this news.
Family currently uses Google Chat and it’s pretty terrible. Buggy on iPhone and no desktop app.
If Google doesn't keep your watch history then how it can make recommendations?
It seems like people who don't want Google to keep the watch history are probably also people who don't want Google to feed them videos algorithmically.
I’m all for self hosting but I just recently moved from a self hosted NAS to a dedicated small Synology box and I like it.
I still self host several services but now I can do that on a laptop that sips power vs my large tower enclosure.
I also bought a dedicated MikroTik router rather than self hosting pfsense or Untangle.
Despite now having 3 machines instead of one, in aggregate, it still uses less power than my tower server.
The laptop provides its own battery backup and now my router and NAS only use a small amount of energy so I can get a UPS that’ll last much longer.
I also like the separation so rebooting one device doesn’t take everything down, etc.
I’m not saying one approach is right or wrong, just throwing out a different point of view.
All the services you point are great. Proxmox is a must imo.
None of your workloads will require anything from the GPU so I doubt you’ll experience much, if any, throttling. That said, that means you are also paying more for the GPU in the M2 Max that you won’t be using vs the M2 Pro.

Yes I have and I think they're fair. $14/mo for Youtube + Youtube Music vs $11/mo for Spotify.

I was starting to think I was the only person around here that wasn’t falling for conspiracy theories.
I work in the physics world and I am continually surprised by how dumb smart people can be, especially if ego is involved.
Issue seems to be a server problem. If you keep trying you'll eventually get in.

No one is saying FSR should be excluded.
Though if there’s only going to be one hardware agnostic upscaler then I’d rather it be XESS than FSR.
