Need a basic ass printer? Brother laser. The Toyota Camry of printers; boring and reliable. One of these honestly covers 90% of print needs for 90% of people.
My usual website for buying tech lists 24 Brother black and white laser printers. What is wrong with Brother ?
LOL, you blaming Sonos for "you problems". Sonos isn't the streamer.
Sonos is pretty simple to use, but not simple enough for some dolts.
After one update, all radios stations that I had configured in the Sonos system were lost. I had to do it again.
This is especially annoying when it is a forced update.
The Sonos system is indeed pretty nice and simple to use. It is the update process that is a shame.
You can update the Mac app by simply deleting it and reinstalling. It will auto-discover once it starts.
Thanks, it worked. Ugly, but it did.
It's stupid, I've had to do it more than once. Their updater is terrible, there product is not.
Sorry, but the updater is part of the product, especially when it refuses to start until the update is performed. And they also forced me to upgrade to the S2 Controller, although all my devices could still work with the S1 version.
It could be worse, though : I pity the poor customer who have a mix of devices that require both the S1 and S2, see https://support.sonos.com/en-u....
And updates "bricking" Sonos devices is pure FUD, Sonos did that deliberately once...to devices that they bought back from customers. Bad PR move, but not a mistake.
Yes, I fear it. They have become so bad at software that nobody knows what they might do.
The numbers being better only strengthens the point that wireless charging introduces insignificant overhead compared to wired.
No. The exact number of overhead is important. If it is 50%, it is not acceptable, too much energy is lost. If it is 1%, then it is great, because of the benefits of not having an extra port, cable issues, etc.
15W charging power means ~15W loss every hour.
A 100% overhead ? [citation needed]
I found sources claiming a 50% overhead back in 2020. And Qi2 is supposed to improve this.
But you have a point, and I would like to read a serious analysis on this subject.
No. 50% fail in some way, such as being over budget, behind schedule, or not meeting all of the original goals.
This would mean that 50% of software project are delivered on budget, on schedule and meet the original goals. If only it would be true
My 35-years experience in the domain tells me that it is rather :
YMMV depending on the business you're in.
Both of you are correct.
Just like when someone says "Elon Musk has made fantastic things" and another one says "He is an asshole".
