The only time I had sync problems was when I was connected to a VPN. Do you use one by chance?

I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.

IMO this is a huge thing, Linux actually does a lot better than Windows. I know the Windows Store exists, but it is lacking in lots of ways.

That's encouraging, 3ven though these models are out of my price range.

I'm planning to build a new system pretty soon. With Intel 13 an 14th Gen woes, AMD CPU releases and upcoming (Septmber) AM5 Motherboards, my planning is in constant flux.

The Ryzen 9000 series is releasing on the 15th. The 9600X might also be worth a look for $279 (according to AMD).

Edit: scratch that. The first reviews are out and it doesn't look good for the new CPUs

Somewhat related.

I'm from Europe and was a big NBA fan as a kid (who wasn't in the Jordan era, am I right?). I recently got back into it.

One aspect that really surprised me about the NBA was the fact that owners were the first who received trophies (conference final and final winners). Most sports I grew up with would award the coach or team captain first. I understand the structure of the NBA can't work without rich owners, but why do we need to reward them over the people who actually contributed on and around the court?

The thought of watching a horrible person like Bezos push a trophy into the air is upsetting to me.

I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to salary cap and contracts and was wondering this exact thing. At what point is having a potential winning team more important than a few million for someone who is possibly a billionaire by now. Apparently Lebron couldn't just play for a couple of million and get a superstar teammate instead. Good to know.

Overall a good list.

Minor nitpicks like healthy Embiid should be in 1A for me and the gap between Tatum and Brown being too big. As a Knicks fan I like Brunson so high. I hope he can confirm that evaluation next season.

Then there is KD. His skill is unquestionable, but if we speak of value, he isn't 1B for me. IMO he has become a poison pill since Brooklyn.

Teams change up their whole structure and trade away the kitchen sink to get him. What do they get? A strong team on paper that doesn't produce results.

When the going gets tough he requests a trade. The team is left with a roster built around him and few to no draft picks.

Not sure about the RGB integration, but you should take a kook at keychron keyboards. They have good build quality and a wide range of layouts and prices. They are above the quality of most gaming brands and don't have to cost a fortune.

They also have mice, but any black mouse should work for you.

With the obvious off season move out of the way, we can look forward to their next moves.

When knowledge is deliberately gated by large entities and the author would give it away for free (scientific papers) is a no-brainer for me. Or when a course requires specific textbooks that costs hundreds of dollars.

I use Auto CPU Freq on my T480 and am satisfied so far.

I try Wayland from time to time, but my 4k60Hz TV (HDMI) keeps having problems.

Under Wayland I only get 30Hz and sometimes it makes the system very laggy.
