    Best HDD for a NVR?

    I'd find ones that offer long warranties, aren't SMR (or any other stacked/sliced/mixed whatever) and have low rpm.

    Well, depending, weather can wreak havoc even on "the best". And these to rank up there amongst the best. So hopefully they are in good shape. Don't know how much "the score" was for, but these are normally pretty high end.

    Looking for a Web browser base email client

    Outside of the "few biggie" providers, many of the smaller independents use a Roundcube UI (well, many do anyhow). So, up to you if you want to go outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc. or go independent. For example, I have an old Dreamhost shared web hosting account, and they use Roundcube (pretty...

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    Somewhat getting us back to "ontopic", when it comes to "old"... Mac hw tends to retain value better than generic Windows PCs. Like, significantly better. At least, that's my observation.

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    Every year, usually around Christmas, you could renew your contract and get the latest flaship for 1 penny. I would buy phones for the whole household at that time. It was a different era.

    Phone without "connection" isn't really a phone. Now, I suppose there were people jumping from contract to contract and incurring switching penalties and the like, but I figure, I came out on top with regards to total out of pocket.

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    Way offtopic, but I do miss my days of extending my 2yr phone contract and getting the latest and greatest flagship phone for a penny. There was a time when I practically never paid for a phone, and it was for the "good phones".

    current best air coolers

    I wonder now that "thermonuclear" 12th+ gen is constrained, that maybe air cooling will become a bigger thing??

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    I get it, you think I'm lying. That's on you really though. I mean, the question was asked, and, though not to your expectations, I answered it. When you cuss out people or slam them without knowledge, what is that called? I watched as the costs rose 10x, then 20x, etc. With that said, I...

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    Just saying. My guess is most have never had an all Mac shop, so you're used to "whatever" with regards to operational expense. I lived "the migration". I've seen the result.

    I'm talking operational expense per employee, amount spent per month. Has zero to do with machine cost, which, while bigger on the Apple side, it's not that big of a difference (nothing in the high multiplier difference anyhow, especially not over the past 5 years or so).
