If you can afford it see if Eaton has a smaller tower UPS suitable for you.

I have a 96 core one. While it'll be fine as a desktop for compiling I'd stick with an AMD system.

The devkit has 6 memory channels, and you'll want to fill them all - there's a surprisingly high performance penalty if you don't. Even then, compiling a code base which could be spread over hundreds of cores is still significantly slower on the ampere compared to my old 3970x.

Does Apple lack a feature to turn off or hide the file menu?

I have no idea. They decided to put a notch with the webcam in the middle of the screen, so I'd not be able to use that space properly with anything else anyway.

My point here wasn't about mac, though (it was just handy for doing the screenshot at this moment , though it's my least used platform for this: I had it upgraded, and as I have no intention of upgrading it on my Linux system after that experience I made the screenshot before the downgrade) - my point was the needless waste of space in the newer PrusaSlicer, which applies on all platforms.

It also is perfectly fine for running a few minute long compile cycles - without running into thermal throttling. I guess if you do some hour long stuff it might eventually become an issue - but generally the CPUs available in the Airs seem to be perfectly fine with passive cooling even for longer peak loads. Definitely usable as a developer machine, though, if you can live with the low memory (16GB for the M1, which I have).

I bought some Apple hardware for a customer project - which was pretty much first time seriously touching Apple stuff since the 90s, as i'm not much of a friend of them - and was pretty surprised about performance as well as lack of heat. That thing is now running Linux, and it made me replace my aging Thinkpad x230 with a Macbook Pro - where active cooling clearly is required, but you also get a lot of performance out of it.

The real big thing is that they managed to scale power usage nicely over the complete load range. For the Max/Ultra variants you get comparable performance (and power draw/heat) on high load to the top Ryzen mobile CPUs - but for low load you still get a responsive system at significantly less power draw than the Ryzens.

Intel is playing a completely different game - they did manage to catch up a bit, but generally are still running hot, and are power hogs. Currently it's just a race between Apple and AMD - and AMD is gimped by nobody building proper notebooks with their CPUs. Prices Apple is charging for RAM and SSDs are insane, though - they do get additional performance out of their design (unlike pretty much all x86 notebooks, where soldered RAM will offer the same throughput as a socketed on), but having a M.2 slot for a lower speed extra SSD would be very welcome.

Überweisung auf Papier [..] Und Gott bewahre, wenn du Münzgeld haben oder bringen willst.

Das sind Leistungen bei denen ich tatsaechlich auch meine dass das separat abgerechnet werden sollte. Basis sollte eine kostenlose bzw. von der Grundgebuehr abgedeckte Nutzung des Kontos im Selfservice sein - also alles Online oder an Selbstbedienungsterminals, sowie uebliche Kartennutzung im Eurogebiet. Fuer Sachen die man selbermachen kann eine Person beschaeftigen zu wollen ist ein Luxusproblem - und dafuer kann man dann auch zahlen.

On a phone the additional power draw of larger modules can be an issue - plus phones are designed to freeze background apps to conserve memory, so you can get away with less.

I currently have 6GB in my phone, which mostly is fine. In a few situations I'd have preferred having 8, though. 4 or less hasn't made sense for a few years now.

Many years ago I've now and then searched for bags for throwing in all my electronics - but seems back then having that need wasn't mainstream enough. When I got frustrated recently and searched amazon again I noticed that nowadays there's a wide variety of bag designed for that purpose, with different levels of usefulness (plus the simple ones copied/rebranded a lot). So, I just ordered one of every somewhat sensible looking bag to figure out later what is useful for which purpose.

This particular bag is the Inateck AB03007-S, which turned out to be perfect for my daily stuff.

It's a similar thing with four leaf clovers - I never in my life found one, even during periods where I've been scanning every bit of green while hiking. But then we had a friend who isn't really paying attention to her surroundings, and just randomly goes 'oh, moment', and picks up a four leave clover from a few metres away.

Seems my daughter is also developing that talent - last summer she picked up a few while playing outside.

Are you trying to press the keys as lightly as possible or something?

Pretty much the opposite, I'm usually either typing on a buckling spring keyboard, or on one with Kailh Box Navy switches - which requires quite a bit of force, and both have quite a bit of travel.

Unless you have one of the dumbed down Fido or whatever only versions yubikey is just a smartcard with key storage, and multiple different applications for interfacing with the keys - and as everybody (at least everybody sane) uses the same crypto algorithms those can be shared for whatever needs that.

For SSH you'll have at least two options - if you have a GPG key on that thing just use the auth-key on there (create one if you don't have that yet) for SSH, if not maybe adding a PIV key is the better option, that should be available via PKCS#11 then. There might be additional options as well, though.

Emacs grep lets you run grep, and formats the results in a buffer from where you can then easily visit the files at the match location.

It seems to be available in Factory nowadays. Add the X11:Wayland repo for faster updates. You probably also want to install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.

I have my own packages in OBS where I occasionally build the latest git version - initially I've been updating it every few days, nowadays it's mature enough that sometimes I lag behind the released versions.
