I upgraded my UPS to a sine interactive unit to minimise the risk of it dying to bad power while the market is so crazy...

If I'm over that when passing a speed camera in Victoria, AUS, I'll be pinged with a decent fine to arrive shortly.

Imagine if instead of a chime I got fined every single time, everywhere? All this new monitoring makes it a bit like that, at an extreme. I don't want to live in such a society.

Deleted all the partitions and did a 100% clean install (multi boot Win11/Fedora), and it's suddenly what feels like 2-4x as fast. Made sure to disable some of the Copilot and Internet content in search menu rubbish etc with a few registry tweaks (yay for having admin access to get rid of the bloat/junk).

Fedora/Wayland/Plasma still feels faster though - I just had some issues getting my video to work properly across all of Teams and Zoom.

There's no central management of these records that I'm aware of though.

Absolutely love my Unifi setup, recently upgraded my USG to the UXG as the old was EOL and not performant enough for gigabit routing with SPI.

It's a great camera in automatic mode most of the time, but not for that scenario.

I actually bought the boxed edition of PageStream with my paper boy money, even though I was just a high school student at the time. That's how much into it I was. :-)

(The skillsets picked up from this along with Assembly on the Amiga transitioned reasonably well into a career of web development and software engineering.)

It could easily turn into your most expensive bag ever.

All food items simply _must_ be declared. There's two lines, so join the "something to declare" one. You'll be waved through after a quick inspection, or asked to surrender any offending items. Super easy. The declare line is often quicker as well.

(He has no desire to start drinking etc early or at all at this point.)

Long term health impacts are high, as someone in my 50s I'm certainly doing better for my choice. And yes, not making stupid decisions under influence also cannot be underestimated.

At barely any power consumption whatsoever. (Compared to Intel CPUs at the time of release).

I've actively shopped for low latency RAM - within reasons, but have paid good premiums especially in DDR4 days. For DDR5, there can be surprisingly little price wise to differentiate e.g. CL30 or CL32, so whilst it may not offer the greatest of differences, if you're already paying e.g. $350 (AUD) for a kit at CL32 the improved latency might just be $20 more at the same speed.

(I see that things have moved on a bit from last September when I did my last upgrade; now we have CL32 at higher speeds, so maybe that's the go to now.)

Currently sporting this - G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Black 64GB (2x32GB) PC5-48000 (6000MHz) with a 7800x3d.

Previous kit was G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB), PC4-28800 (3600MHz) DDR4, 16-16-16-36 [X2, eventually, for 64 total] with, you guessed it, the 5800x3d, from the 3900xt - my son loves it.

The resolution and size just nails it, and my favourite feature is the warm backlighting for reading at night. Battery lasts forever, and I can just put it on my Samsung phone stand for wireless charging once in a blue moon - not once have I run out of battery.

I fall asleep so easily to this, currently on the Eisenhorn 40k Omnibus book - and a 184 week reading streak.

I used to be excited about new Kindle releases, have had one since the mammoth DXG - but no more, I'm good now with this, so don't see myself forking out $400 AUD for the new one (with a leather cover).

Also bought one (also a SE) for my son, with a different colour magnetic leather cover. :-)
