Mini PC for Jellyfin
  • Gamers Nexus reports 44W at idle with the G4560 which is already more than the G5400T’s MAX TDP of 35W, so it’s a pretty significant difference.

    Assuming the RAM and other components are similar, I’d go with the G5400T system.

    Mini PC for Jellyfin
  • The thing that matters more than the TDP is how much power they draw at idle. It’ll likely be idling or turned off more than it will be on. And even when on, it probably wont be hitting its max TDP just playing some media unless you’re transcoding to 4k or something.

    A railway track in Lgov, Kursk region, was damaged by Ukrainian forces, according to the local mayor.
  • I like how this is news and is seen as a victory. Not hating or anything, but funny because give me an angle grinder and I can do the same damage as what I’m assuming was a device made for warfare.

    United Airlines Boeing 737 Loses Tire While Taking Off From Denver
  • As someone who has worked at a Tire and Brake shop for an airline, it is the airlines fault not Boeing. It’s not Ford’s fault if your Ford Explorer blows a tire 10 years into your ownership. Boeing is the dealer, airlines are the buyer/owner/maintainer. Only exception to this is if Boeing is specifically contracted for maintenance as is the case for the US government and military equipment.

    Tires and brakes do have scheduled inspection periods, however you can get edge cases. I’ve changed tires that were ripped to shreds because the planes anti-skid system failed so several hundred thousand pounds of weight just got dragged across the pavement on an immovable block of rubber lmao.

    Boeing Workers Are on the Verge of Striking
  • Not to detract from the shit going down at Boeing’s production plants AT ALL. Just want to throw in some of my own experience as someone who is in this trade (fabrication whether that be welding, machining, and other kinds of metal working).

    I’m going to say this based on two assumptions here, plus my own experience. Assumptions being that Mr. Voss in the article is in a senior role, so I’m assuming he’s an older fellow. And then the picture in the article showing more older gentlemen.

    Now unfortunately in the industry, there is A LOT of ageism. Combine this with the fact it is already a dying profession that is aging out. Demand for these jobs is incredibly high. In my experience a lot of these older folk tend to complain to management a lot about the “young, inexperienced ‘kids’” they’re hiring. I get it. To pass the torch to a dumb young adult is probably super hard, and I’m sure a lot of these guys take a lot of pride in what they do. So seeing a young adult come in and make mistakes or do something that isn’t precisely what the older guy would do probably frustrates them. I’ve met people on the complete opposite end of the spectrum who LOVE to teach and pass down knowledge, and people like that are great. However in my anecdotal experience, there’s a lot more folk who like to complain about new hires and their lack of experience, without remembering that at one point they had to learn as well.

    What this leads to is a lack of new workers coming into the trade and a lack of motivation to teach new workers coming into the trade. And then you get the end result where a bunch of young people are hired, maybe out of school for the job they’ll be performing and maybe not. Regardless of if they were schooled, they’re not being “schooled” at work, and without the direct experience of their specific new job they make errors.

    I also encourage everyone to remember that these older folk probably didn’t go to school either. A big reason the skilled trades are so appealing is because you can work hard to become a master of something without spending an arm and a leg for school, and in return make a decent living. “Laborious” jobs have always been worked by people who generally couldn’t afford a super expensive education. And there’s nothing wrong with that either.

    Super long rant, just thought I’d throw my two cents in.

    Who is "El Mayo" Zambada, the Sinaloa drug cartel leader now in U.S. custody?
  • Wild that they finally caught him. Hopefully we get more details on how he got lured to the US in the first place. This guy stayed under the radar so long, US officials weren’t even sure if he was still alive due to his age.
