Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.

More and more subtle gaming laptops are being released. Would you pick one or opt for one that looks like a spaceship?

Would you pick a subtle gaming laptop or a spaceship?

Built this while shopping for a new monitor last month. PCPartPicker has a nice tool to find monitors, but it was missing things like rtings.com scores, number and type of ports, live prices, so I decided to build one.

I know some people still swear by their old iPods or film cameras. For me it's a 15 year old Western Digital external HDD. Do you have any older gadgets or tech that you refuse to let go of?

This is mostly useless, except to justify buying a bigger TV. However, I did learn:

• For most popular high end models, the 65 inch models are cheapest / sq inch (e.g Sony A95L, Samsung S90D, LG G4). For most others, it's the 75 inch models.
• TCL S551F 55" scores the lowest ($0.17/sq inch)
• The lowest scoring OLED is the Samsung S85D ($0.55/sq inch)
• For 100 inches, Hisense QD7 is the cheapest ($0.37/sq inch). For 85 inches, it's the TCL S551F ($0.22/sq inch)

It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Thought this might be helpful as a lot of these mini PCs are hitting the used market.
