What you fellas need is an Air Fryer. Will change your life.

Toasted anything. Absolute mastery of the golden, crispy potato.

I wouldn't sweat it that much, I mean looks cool to be at work and launch your washing machine remotely or check how much is left from the cycle. I assume the same is with a wifi dishwasher.

I work in my home office. I hear that machine every time it runs. At the end it make clonk when opening the door.

For me that feature is so useless. Also my washer/dryer has that WLan feature. I never connected the machine to the WiFi. I connected my tv once when i got it delivered for an update. After i said "No Inet" at my router. That braindead stuff from satellite is enough. One sometimes usable TV Stations with documentation. Then rest is TrashTV.

Lol, I doubt there's been a mass produced waffle iron made in the US for fifty years! I like that one!

These are still made in Sweden, but are apparently quite tricky to use.

Does anybody know what for a dish washer needs a wlan access? In a week i will have to order a new dish washer. A lot of them offer a WLan-Access. Is chinese that spy addicted that they also want to know how much dirty tableware i have?

Nice! I forgot I too added to the fan horde with a couple of 3 packs of be quiet! LIGHT WINGS LX 120s. Decided it was time to switch things up from the Noctuas.

i think getting a microwave with convection function is more practical for most. Doesnt take up more space as 2 separate objects. and certain things are cooked more efficiently, with the air frying + microwaving combination mode.

Some upgrades for a secondary computer turned racing setup (a Ryzen 3500X and a 1080Ti are good enough to drive Assetto Corsa at 100+ FPS on that screen):

Space Lynx · Monday at 12:34 PM

it's glossy QD-OLED 3rd gen Samsung panel (no text issues), I couldn't resist for $399 and basically no tax. Because my Prime Visa 5% cash back, I feel this is probably going to be the best bang for the buck so to speak. Hopefully, this will last me several years as long as I take care of it (auto hide taskbar, black background, etc).

no hdmi 2.1, but honestly I don't care, only plan to use it with my PC and displayport anyway

We all know that you brought this specific monitor because of the anime waifu the listening shows :roll:

kapone32 · Monday at 1:27 PM

Not for myself but I was able to snag a great deal for someone. It was a Combo deal with 7700X, Asus B650 Tuf and 32GB of Team 6000 mt/s (yep the good one) all of that was $584 Canadian. That is like $418 US.

honestly, I just don't think we will see a good price like that after the tariffs hit. AOC was not my first choice, but for this price I just can't pass it up. I also bought this during the black friday sales, this particular color came out just last month, and it looks gorgeous: it looks mostly purple when you tilt it - amazon had a pricing error on this, I got it for $54 shipped and sold by Amazon, now its back up to $59 sale price, MSRP $79

color is chroma indigo

Make sure you verify the APL behavior, from what I saw W-OLED version had very aggressive brightness limiter and you couldn't turn it off.

this isn't w-oled LG panel, this is qd-oled samsung 3rd gen panel, this monitor just came out last week or two. you are referring to the first model of the same model number that was LG W-OLED

that one was matte, this one is glossy as well, another reason it is a winner for me

I know it's qd-oled, like you said it's new to the market so I wasn't sure if it has the same ABL like the w-oled, but looks like it doesn't:

Didn't work out. Apparently the Lenovo Stinkpad T14s here is hardcoded to only take its original card :mad:

No, but you need a Lenovo branded card, so go find a computer repair shop and ask them to sell you one or find one on eBay or similar from a Lenovo laptop.
Also keep in mind it might be the antenna placement and not the Realtek hardware that's the issue.

I had not seen that video until just now, damn nice find. Thanks for sharing that, yeah sounds like I got a winner. I love the reflection handling the video showed too. $399 brand new and basically no tax, hell yeah, count me in.

Remember this, all you youngsters getting into IT. They ain't all Sagers and custom rigs...

I use a very similar enterprise HP laserjet for our businesses legal documents (I work for a court reporters firm so we print A LOT). Solid workhorses. Completely different from their consumer stuff.

Yeah most WOLEDs suffer from that,* QD-OLED is supposed to be better though.

Not my 2019 B9 WOLED though. Shes one of the few where you can completely disable ABL via the service menu. And I did on day one.
