People who are using headphones jacks are people who probably do not care the DAC sucks or have high end headphones to use on a $699 laptop. For example for a video conference meeting, a headphone jack is fine for that fidelity.

I would say most people who are buying a $699 laptop do not know what a DAC is nor care about buying one. What they will see is this budget laptop requires an adapter to use wired headphones. Will it completely stop someone from buying this laptop over another model? Probably not, but it is a negative.

Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?

[sarcasm]But it will have Windows 11, the most beloved version of Windows right now.[/sarcasm]

WiFi 7 is more robust. The problem is if your network isn’t WiFi 7, then the benefits are negligible over WiFi6. But consumers can buy any new WiFi router right now so that shouldn’t be a problem . . .oh wait. Yeah . . .

Dell says the processor will be an Intel Core Series 3 for the budget $699 model and has up to 17 hours of streaming battery life. We will have to see if it lives up to battery life and performance tests. Noticeably absent from the advertisement was how well this laptop would do in benchmarks.

Oh, Windows will love that.

Thanks for explaining to Slashdot what a proxy is. I had no idea.

I saw the movie. It was fine. It was not the best, but it was not the worst. From my perspective the movie did not have a main singular plot but multiple ones; it seems to been designed to break broken into pieces for serialized content like TV episodes. My guess is that this was intentional so that Disney+ could have another season of The Mandalorian and a movie. Basically the movie is really to generate some box office revenue that it could not generate as a TV season.

How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?

Hmmm ... interesting.

Minimal justice, if we want to split hairs.

But the lift from camber and from angle of attack are both caused by the Bernoulli effect.

If we interpret the digits as base 10, we are only using 6 out of 10 possible digits. We have gaps in the range. That doesn't seem random. Some values having a zero probability of appearance.

You don't interpret the number of dots on the dice faces as digits in base 10, you convert the dot patterns to whatever base you want.

Same here. And it puts all of this new shit at the top, forcing you to scroll past it each time.

They should have put some effort into fixing whatever memory leak keeps me having to reboot the ting every few days.
