Tannin still misses his 4:3 displays. I've found that 4k 16:9 screens work just like dual 8:9 screens. And that is very nice for productivity.

I think so. Once I dig into that machine I'll be able to tell you more.

Yup. Shipped directly with the waterblock. But I might have one with a reference cooler soon enough. If they are as good as it looks I'll get another.

With a waterblock already mounted. You interested?

...and they finally send a notice. They announced it days ago.

...or not. Delayed at least a week.

Better than I was expecting. Hoping to get mine next week?

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

What OS do you plan? Some Linux flavor?

Finally switched from LG, the V30 was great, but the Note 9 swayed me. Huge (bright) screen, huge battery. Sold.

Username does relate to actual name, and I'm pretty comfortable with everything I post online being found by future employers. I try to be as transparent as possible.

Thanks for the info!

I still just have the Phantom Pro 3. Decent image quality, but I like the new features of the newer models. The software is getting a bit difficult, though. So many places are geo-locked, and bypassing that is getting more difficult.

Can you elaborate on "deadening the room too much"? I don't know a lot about this stuff, and my assumption was that I want the sound coming from my speakers.

Nice. I've gone a bit nuts with acoustic panels in the last 7 years or so. Adding more always seems to make things better. 30sqft+ in the office at this point. The wall closest and the wall behind (where the speakers are pointed) seem to make the most difference.

Both monitors and the 2080 are "2nd day" shipping a month from now. Trying to get the rest of the system in place beforehand.

My work stash is running low. Too many late nights.

I hate pre-ordering stuff, but I'm currently waiting on the LG 34WK95U-W and RTX 2080Ti. Any bets on which shows first?

This is the smallest, lightest laptop I've had in ages. The previous recordholder was a ThinkPad X-series many years ago with a 12.1" screen. This 15" screen is a smaller footprint due to the absurdly smaller bezel. It is also half the thickness and about the same weight. No 2.5" drive bays in...

You were more sensible than me Tannin. I had a similar trip with similar requirements. I bought this. It worked great, and has been sitting in my bag ever since.

Nope. Once the earplugs are in you _know_ the voices are in your head. Better to be annoyed and a little paranoid than legit crazy.

Me, too. I'd happily take a phone 3mm thicker for 25% more battery. No idea on the replacements; I don't keep phones that long.

A non-replaceable is unfortunate, but looking for one with a replaceable battery forces too many other compromises.

I'll have the new LG phone the day it comes out, my current has a spider-ed screen that is now registering phantom touches. http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g7-thinq

Yup. I don't even bother charging at night anymore. Just connected sitting in the cradle when I'm driving keeps mine in the 50-90% range most of the time.

Are you observing trainers or training observers?

I have regular workstations with SSDs that regularly get hard-off power events. If anything this has less impact than it did with spinning disks (the drive is actively writing less of the time, so less likely to interrupt a write).

Good tip. Install drain....

I was considering a pair of these in a vertical arrangement. Then I just got a 4k TV.

I decided to not actually mess with the house plumbing, but my water heater uses an electric heat pump. This means that it pulls heat from the air around the water heater to heat the water. All the waste heat from my rack goes out to the garage, and a radiator right next to the water heater...

Hard-pipe plumbing that routes to a radiator next to the rad on my heat-pump water heater. The heat produced by my computer makes my water heater more efficient. And the CPU isn't important because I'm mainly worried about the physical install/layout. Just buying the highest clockspeed CPU and...

...and the CPU is irrelevant, but the waterblock is here: Link: http://a.co/86REgQ4

I'm not made of money, and I like fast and silent computers ;)

As normal as my desktop use is. Office, Adobe, games, web browser. Nothing special. The system has plenty of RAM and has hibernation disabled.

I thought that, in normal desktop use, drives tended to have more reads than writes?

The only parts of my current workstations are: 1. Motherboard (CPU, RAM, M.2 SSD onboard) 2. GPU 3. PSU With waterblocks connected to the CPU and GPU, they aren't particularly large or heavy. There are PCIe extension cables that allow the GPU to be mounted near (but not sticking out of) the...

I don't need a second computer in the case. I'm actually looking for just a flat plate that will mount the motherboard and PSU, with the GPU mounted co-planar to the MB and VESA holes to mount the whole thing behind the monitor. Then just mount waterblocks and plumb it out to an external cooler.

I have one sitting in a box here. I hope to test it out in the next week or so.

Gaming mainly. They traded resolution for a higher refresh rate. Most of the time when I care about performance I'll be using an external monitor anyway.

The 100-400 II is as rich as I'm willing to get. And even that I am not taking on international flights.

Did you look at the size of the adapter? It is remarkably small for the power output. Smaller than the current at least.

Yes? Concentrated benefit and diffuse costs lead to distorted policy.

(Congrats on the Eizo, BTW. That can be a big purchase)

I use disposable pre-moistened wipes (same for lenses). Last thing I want to do is over-saturate the screen or rub grit on glass.

I suspect it can charge at a lower draw. Perhaps it will limit performance when on battery (I hear most modern gaming laptops do). I've booked a bed at the very front (bulkhead in front of me), so there should be room for the sensors.

Pre-ordered this. Should be good. Flying to Bucharest in about 6 weeks, and want to try the Oculus Rift on the flight.

I tell all my clients that they need their own domain, just so that they can ensure the continuity of their e-mail address. Move to new services as the old ones go bust, but keep the address.

Yup. Too old to be testing my luck.
