Anecdotal but I’m a sysadmin in the IT dept in my rather larger company and have zero issues with office on my daily driver m2 Mac Pro. On my Dell precision running win 11 I constantly have issues with outlook, teams, etc.

You either fall behind/into a rut, or like you said, get let go. It’s scary

I’m in the same boat. I have a couple floor standers for audio, but I added a center channel and it helped with dialogue

From my understanding it’s not which soundbar that’s the issue, it’s that you’re only using a soundbar for audio. The channels all get compressed into one device with a couple speakers instead of whatever it was originally created for, like five or seven speakers with a subwoofer

There’s still a few large ones. LANfest and quakecon are two that come to mind. Also LAN all night.

As someone else mentioned in another thread, this could be what you’re looking for. Unfortunately it’s above my impulse budget https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-pocket-reform

And even then “Shut down” didn’t actually shut down when there were updates. It was “install updates and reboot”

I daily my work MacBook without an Apple account or phone number. And no, it’s not in ABM, or any other MDE. App Store is unavailable because of the missing account, but it does not prevent me from using the device like you’re claiming.

New comment by ramgine in "Wired headphone sales are exploding"

ramgine — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:11:17 +0000

I use wireless almost exclusively. ANC in the office is a must. I also know that a good pair of wired headphones will have way more fidelity than AirPods. But I do have some nice wired headphones and I pair them to my iPhone with the Fiio BTR5. It’s been a good mix of the two. I’m of the mindset to go back to an mp3 player and use the fiio to connect to my car Bluetooth

I just retired my m1 air to being a server this month. They’re very capable laptops. If the neo is even comparable in spec it’s excellent for the price

Does keeping it on one stick make it more performant? I have a epyc server with 1tb of 64 gig sticks and a 3060, looking to maximize what models I can run on it

Can you summarize your other feeds? I actually created an account here on HN during the blackout for my tech info but constant tech info gets exhausting after a while.
