You can get power strips that will sense the load on one outlet and shut all the others off if the load is below a certain amount. They are handy for shutting off those annoying standby LEDs automatically.

My laptop has been up for 123 days. It gets put in standby when it’s not in use. I should probably reboot into a new kernel soon.
My desktop gets shut down at night because it’s power hungry.
My server gets shut down about once a year for cleaning and hardware upgrades.

If you want to tinker with it, stay away from that DJI crap and build your own. Then you can get more than a flight or two without something burning up.

If you let the laptop sit for years, the battery will be dead and there is a small chance that the SSD may be corrupted. They are only rated to retain data for a year without power.

Debian will have updates, but apart from the browser, it will typically only be security and bug fix updates.

It’s better to just put the display to sleep when it’s not in use anyways. We only used screensavers because CRT monitors took so long to fully warm up.

It looks cool, but I’m worried about durability. It doesn’t even make the screen that much bigger.

Just replace the CEO with an AI. It would probably do the job just as poorly, but wouldn’t need any payment.

That’s still significantly better than having no markings at all.

A decent lipo can charge at 5C, but it significantly reduces the cycle life. They are claiming 1000 cycles at that charge rate.

The lack of physical media will just drive more people to piracy.

If the game doesn’t run on Linux, there’s a good chance it’s using a rootkit and should not be installed on windows either.

The Motorola DynaTAC. They had a big Ni-Cd battery that is also the back of the case. You would need often need two batteries to get through a whole day, so they were made to be easily swapped.

So they can sell you a new phone instead of a replacement battery.

Home 3D movies were never good, you didn’t miss much.

I will not buy a Thinkpad if it doesn’t have a trackpoint. They work so much better than a touchpad, especially for things like selecting text.

Swapable batteries were common on cell phones in the 80’s and 90’s except no fancy machine was needed.

That was LORAN-A. It would get your ship close enough that you could see your destination. LORAN-C was comparable to GPS with selective availability enabled. eLORAN will be almost as good as GPS.

I will probably still be using 1080P in 10 years. I’ve had a 4K TV for a long time and still don’t have any 4K content.
The only thing I would like 8K for is a computer monitor for CAD, but that certainly won’t be using HDMI.

There are projectors with DisplayPort, but HDMI and VGA are more common. Laptops usually use the USB-C DP alt mode to output DisplayPort signals. HDMI requires a separate port. USB-C can output HDMI, but very few devices support it and it will never be updated past HDMI 1.4.

It’s very rare and you certainly won’t find it on anything affordable. I wish they would start putting DisplayPort inputs on TVs. They had VGA inputs back when TVs had more than 2 inputs on them.
