Had to move out of my apartment. :( But I found a really nice 4 bedroom house share, I got the smallest bedroom but it's cheap and very nice inside.

 

Is that an ACER netbook or regular laptop? If it is a netbook what resolution does the screen have?

It's an 11.6" Acer netbook, screen resolution is 1366x768. Impulse buy but had a really good spec for the price.

Those LG Monitors are really nice, My mate has one at his office attached to a Zoomstorm PC running Ubuntu and its amazing quality.

 

If you're referring to mine, they are indeed. I paid ?120 each for them, 24" IPS @ 1080. For the price I really really cannot fault them, they even have a sharper more contrasting image for my Hazro. I'd certainly say there's competition between these and higher priced models, I'm considering replacing the Hazro with a 3rd LG.

I'd hold on and wait for the 27" LG IPS that supposedly should be on UK shelves soon (guessing you're UK based on the ?) would be a nice center piece to complement the two surrounding panels.

Hmmmmmmm Interesting.

 

Yes you cant beat it for the price. Think the cheapest I have seen is ?105.

^ Are you one of those people who either loves apple/windows but cannot bring yourself to go fully apple/windows? haha

 

I love both very much however you are right though I could never go fully windows or just apple lol.

 

He is not only one....  My brother has 27" iMac and Windows laptop. Depends on what he is using for.

You are 100% correct, I use both for what I do for a living.(full time internet marketer.)

I mainly use the mac for photoshop task and web browsing and the PC is mainly used because of software that will only work on windows that I need to be successful in my industry.

Wire management! Geez...

Sad thing is the poor wire management is doing more to increase the temps than most other things. With better wire management he should be able to cut down on the number of fans and still get the same cooling performance out of his setup.

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.

      I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."

      Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.

      Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
