This is the way. Although, when I did this to my Samsung television, it eventually began to display dialog boxes complaining that it was having trouble accessing the Internet. So I had to completely delete all network settings in the TV and give up the ability to control it through Home assistant. Annoying.

I didn’t know about this until now, but there is a feature called “back tap.“ It allows you to trigger specific actions by tappingeither two times or three times on the back of the iPhone. You can set this to zoom in or out.

This is where ChatGPT says to go:

  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap.
  2. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, then select the action you want to assign.

iOS has an accessibility feature where you can tap two times with three fingers and zoom the screen. If you hold on the second tap and upward it will zoom in a custom amount. Sliding down zooms back out. Would that work? It would be independent of all web browsers.

MakeMKV Works on Linux. I got it working with Xubuntu in proxmox.

I love the Dark Rock Pro. Used it in two builds so far, and it's amazingly quiet. I opted not to go with the NVidia 50x0 series because I expect demand to be outrageous and prices to be high by then because of tariffs. At least I can get my hands on a 4080 Super these days. I literally just upgraded my parts list to include the X870 for exactly the reasons you stated. I'm thinking of going with the 7800X3D to save some money now, and maybe upgrade to the 9000X3D in a couple years if I ever notice performance issues. I primarily use it for gaming, and word on the street is that the 9000 series just doesn't add enough to gaming performance.

I'm not going to re-use the Define R4 case. I would probably get something like the Torrent (not the compact). My plan is to build the new box from the ground up and repurpose the current machine into a hand-me-down for the family.

 

I have an aging Windows gaming box that needs an upgrade. With Trump winning the election, I anticipate tariffs on basically all PC parts, so I want to buy now. Here's my challenge:

I love quiet PCs. I have a Fractal Design Define R4, I think, which I bought for its sound insulating ability. I've always gone with air-cooling, and my fan curves are tuned to be quiet. That works great for my 2080 TI.

Now, however, I want to get the 4080 Super and a big beefy AMD processor. Is air cooling still going to cut it? Or am I going ot have to go for all-in-one water cooling loops to keep temperatures under control without having to listen to the turbines spinning up?

I know there are a lot of factors to consider, but basically I think Fractal Design has great products, so I would probably get another case from them and build the machine from the ground up. I just want to find the solution that lets the machine run without making a ton of noise while it sits on the floor next to me.

This is what I came here to suggest. Everybody should be using power toys and keyboard entry as much as possible on windows.

 

Employers demonstrated their infidelity to their staff by paying loyal workers, on average, 7% less than new hires — 20 years ago, salaries were largely the same between new and longtime employees.

 

So as the title says, I run a homelab with various technologies — Proxmox, Home Assistant, a reverse proxy, lots of Ubiquiti equipment, and so on. Over the years I’ve consumed countless hours of articles, stack overflow posts, youtube channels, and knowledge bases to keep myself up to speed on how to use this equipment and what new outcomes I should aim for.

I’m also deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, with Apple TVs, iPads, Phones, Macbook Pros, and even a homepod. I’ve noticed that the Apple equipment has far less documentation on the whole. I watch Apple events to learn what new features a device will have, but I don’t really see a lot of tutorials or even instruction on how to use it.

Where do you go to get the kind of in-depth learning for your Apple devices that is needed to make expert use of them? Do you have favorite youtube channels that I haven’t discovered yet? Please post below and let me know!
