Huh I see that... We get the Australian Breville brand in North America, and while we don't get their full product offering, it's a lot better than what I see on the Sage website.

Domestic brands over here aren't even trying. Build quality is subpar on everything manufactured on the continent, but thankfully designs are pretty simple and parts are readily available.

Our only choice on larger appliances is basically Miele at 2-4x the European MSRP to get anything remotely reliable. Even then the Miele@Home stuff is nothing but a nightmare so far.

Got a Breville recently, seemed like the only units that weren't the same as every others out there... Not sure it's more durable, but at least it's super quiet, I can mute beep sounds, I can change time and power while food is cooking, and it's got a stainless interior so there's no cheap paint that'll start falling off after a few months.

Over here everyone takes dead lights for green lights/no lights

Don't know, but you can definitely find GitHub profiles built on reattributing other people's PRs to OSS projects, and they end up working for Google.

Depends, there are Celeron N systems in the <2W idle territory thanks to the smaller node process.

Last used it years ago, networking would just die randomly, requiring container restarts when using multiple nodes

You can even use a DNS challenge and leave the 127.0.0.1 record in place.

Won't do, but apparently building up your contribution score helps finding a job at Google.

Some people have their whole "GitHub resumes" built off copy-pasted contributions.

1. Open PR

2. Get comments asking for changes, you only have time to fix it a few days later.

3. PR gets closed as fixed by another PR submitted by a frequent contributor.

4. Find said PR is your exact code with a variable name change (approved instantly through lower 'friend' review standards)

5. Look at that user's profile and notice almost every contributions were copy-pasted from other people.

More like 7200 RPM, but that would be 120Hz. The motor would be driven by PWM though, that's more likely to cause sound issues

Dogs survived CRT monitors and TVs, so I'd assume their behaviour would be known in that instance.

I'm unlucky enough to hear 15 kHz, and you'd easily hear any TVs turned on two storeys away. CRT ultrasounds used to be unbearably, migraine-inducing loud.

I assume laptop speakers wouldn't be anywhere as bad.

Come on. Nothing regulates what we can reach on the Internet more than Turnstile/Great Firewall of Cloudflare abusing wrongful association of IPs.

They need more open PRs? It's not like these contributions would necessarily be welcome.

Apparently that's not the case, but I'd expect links to be marked as visited only if I clicked them from that page.

1.4 has config sync and a REST API coming in

Works better in plain sunlight and with barcode scanners I assume. Pretty much any apps showing a barcode sets your phone on full brightness.

It's more than web discussions. People only care about American politics and controversies even in places that don't speak English.

Last time I tried Tunnelbroker, it caused major performance issues. Not sure it's a good thing for VoIP calls.

As much as I tried to believe in Asus' reputation in the past 20 years, I'm pretty much done with them.

2 of 2 mainboards (TUF and Maximus series) with random reboot issues, 1 of 2 GPUs with firmware issues causing BSODs, 1 of 2 routers (high-end models) with power supply failure problems and sometimes corrupting settings on reboot.

Wow, I haven't ordered from Mouser in years honestly, if I remember correctly, they had started using $60+ FedEx services for international shipping for a while.

Mostly for hobby use, it's a mix between Digi-Key and Newark for me. Newark's website really isn't on par, but pricing can make it worth ordering both places.

Whenever I've needed AWS support it was just as aweful as GCP. For example, 12 hour Aurora outage, support was only replying a generic "waiting for engineering team" answer, SLA only refund about $15 although we ended up paying for all the replicas we tried to spin up from backups and wouldn't start. Architect and account manager didn't give a damn about our issue.

That's the easiest way to maintain firmware for docking stations, SSDs, laptops, mouse dongles, etc.

Except for ISPs. Whenever a major website goes down, people blame their ISPs. When their own provider goes down, they don't remember which one they use and blame every other one in their region as well.

Having this in M.2 format would make an awesome swap drive for a bunch of devices out there with undersized soldered RAM.

You can find the Annapurna Labs AL73400 (Graviton 1st gen) in some devices, but I'm not sure you can easily install your own OS.

Docker image with Firefox 52 ESR and Java plugin comes to the rescue.

Last time I tried it, it was using sshfs mounts. Way slower than whatever Docker Desktop is using. Looks like sshfs is now unmaintained, I can't find what they're using now.

Of course, on the other side, there's never any pollution involved bringing fuel to the gas pump.

802.1x only authenticates devices, there's no encryption whatsoever past that point. You'd need MACsec or a VPN connection to prevent tapping.

NEC has commercial displays with builtin Pi CM4s.
