Hey, it's "only" about 1 kilobuck to get a new iPhone. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I don't have any aged rich uncles.

Like my late father used to say, "If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a baby carriage." Those feature you mentioned, you would need applications that use those features. And that depends on application vendors deciding to port their programs to Ubuntu. "Waiting for Godot."

Seeking opinions and recommendations from [H]'ers who do cloud backup. In my case I'm looking to minimize costs while still having reasonable performance for restore operations. I have two distinct options for cloud backup, as part of a 3-2-1 backup strategy. I could use my Retrospect Desktop...

No surprise here. I'm guessing that more and more tariffs is the "new normal" for people in the US (and perhaps in the EU.)

Not to mention a LOT of important applications. This is [H], so I expect a lot of people here are skilled enough to use Linux, but the "great unwashed masses?" Ha! No way. I am reasonably [H], but if I absolutely had to switch, I would get a Mac. Of course, unless you go Hackintosh, you...

And not just NVidia, I assume. And not just to Mexico.

Again, which costs rose 10X,etc? Assuming you have the numbers right,then why haven't you or your management raised this issue with the finance department. IT is usually a cost center,not a profit center, so would not the CIO want to be a hero by cutting costs? Or else keeping the budget the...

... and ???

As the OP (and a Windows only user) I am learning a LOT about these issues. Also, to be clear, I am not an IT professional, just Joe User Windows Enthusiast. The closest I come to "IT" is that I am the "IT manager" for my home LAN hardware and software,Internet connection, TV cable service...

That's interesting, because it runs counter to the conventional wisdom that heat can cause an NVMe drive to throttle down performance. Do you have a source for that discussion?

If that is true, why isn't Apple advertising the heck out of this fact? Do you have any trusted case studies?

40X of what?

Pardon the noob question, but I don't use Macs. What is Fusion software?

Abode? I think you mean Adobe. Which Adobe suite runs native on ARM?

Moving so fast, I agree. But at some point, the normal product life cycle will resume. (I am assuming.) If I am assuming right, then are we 12 months from that point, 18? 24? More than 24? Yeah, I may need a bigger PSU. Right now, I'm rocking 850 watts of Seasonic.

Agree. Why? Aside from MS Office, all my applications are from other software vendors. Hey, for all those vendors, it comes down to the business case. Unless you a MacOS specialty shop, you do Windows and maybe MacOS.(y) Chrome, can't. Linux at 4%, is it going to be profitable? Most...

Just occurred to me that my next upgrade should have a decent amount of local processing power. I am a heavy Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop user, and Adobe has been steadily adding AI and features for processing images. I shoot RAW, for the quality and flexibility of resulting "developed"...

Yeah BUT. How many people run Windows? Compare that with the number of people on [H] or better yet, the number of people in this thread, not all of whom want Linux on the desktop. Me, I've used UNIX on an off since the 1980s in different jobs. I'm no MS fanboy, but I really like the Windows...

I think there is a good reason. Microsoft is using both carrots and sticks to get peolple to move from 10 to 11. Unfortunately, 11 has very few carrots. Not supporting phone sync on 10 is a stick, or at least they think so. It's probably a resource issue. Microsoft has a lot on its plate...

My wife sometimes asks me why I "need" so many USB cables. I hate that USB 3 has two different device-end connectors. NIH on the part of some members of the "standards" committee? A camel is a horse designed by a committee. Old saying. What he said here.

Yeah Don't go there

Which one would you recommend? Will never be, or it will lose the power that makes it attractive for developers and IT admins.

Why is that a "problem" for Microsoft and not a clear business advantage? But Linux on ARM is becoming more significant...

Well, that sucks. OK, but apparently you CAN get the new Microsoft Phone Link for Win 10. And the new Phone Link works only for Android phones, not iOS.

Thanks for the link. But, for some strange reason, the Phone Link works only for Android and some other Samsung phones, and not iPhones. Like I said, for some strange reason.

Replying to my own post, I feel that I've been screwed over by Apple on this issue, bad. This non-upgrade is completely self-serving, since they do both the OS and the hardware.

Outlook on iOS? How well does it work?

Sync between Outlook on Windows 10 and Calendar and Contacts on iPhone? What's your secret???? For me, it used to work, using iTunes. No longer. I've tried at least 3 third-party utilities. One requires some weird second copy of contacts or calendar. Another one completely messed up my...

Like which OS's? And why?

I will "cave" when Win 12 comes out, and then I'll wait a few months.

So here and there on these forums (e.g. https://hardforum.com/threads/microsoft-stoops-to-new-low-with-ads-in-windows-11-as-pc-manager-tool-suggests-your-system-needs-repairing-if-you-dont-use-bing.2034990/#post-1045885323) you read that Macs have lower TCO and support cost than Windows PCs...

Not to hijack this thread, but what about 4TB versions from the same vendors?

After all, look at Linux desktop market share, all distros lumped together. With top management support? Or they are simply clueless? Zombies. And what is the reaction from those users?

Manufactured in China, by a company based in Taiwan or elsewhere? Or designed in China by a company under the thumb of the CCP? An understatement if I ever saw one!!!

On what basis are you calling BS? Not trying to start an argument or trolling. Just trying to learn something new.

Now there needs to be some way to get this info out to all WOW's subscribers. Since my only real alternative where I live is AT&T, I'm sticking with Comcast. That said, I will be doing some research on cord-cutting, and alternative provider for TV service. My wife watches more TV than I do...

My comment was about AliExpress as an online store. According to comments, lots of crappy products and/or unethical manufacturers, for which we often roast Amaxzon.

It not like he has a remote job, or anything like that. :p

And yet many other people praise the Tomahawk as a great product. Can both of these statements be true at the same time?
