Would be interest to see what email and calendar providers you recommend. I understand you use Fantastical, is there any others?
I just want a budget pc that has good specs😶
Debian gets super old packages and it sucks.
Hi Sun I have a question if you could recommend me some good and private cloud I will be very grateful for your answer
Hi, can u make a video about brave browser? is it better than Firefox in terms of safety?
Definitely interested in a video on adaptive streaming!
Spot on, as always. Thank you for all of the work you do here. Greatly appreciated!
Hello, great video, I have problem with firefox containers extension that u made a video about some time ago. It doesn’t show in the top right, other extensions are showing. What to do? Pls help
thanks sun
Can you make a video on CloudFlare’s Warp ?
Amazon renewed works well in India as well but luckily we still have a few computer shops here. I prefer going there since you can customise as per your preferences, but you have to inspect what you’re getting to be sure that you’re not being ripped off XD.
I’ve been interested in these mini PCs for some time but for some reason they’re not nearly as abundantly available here. And RPi is ofc non existent now.
Thanks for sharing your insights.
still alive?
Great video keep doing!
I’ve bought Surface Pro an Glaxy Fold both renewed through Amazon. Both fine and saved me money
Hi Sun, thanks for sharing the content and efforts. I am just wondering that how would I get your desktop wallpaper as it looks cool.
Hope you’re doing well Sun! Super excited for the upcoming content
I just bought that same PC in order to build a Bitcoin Node… I’ll let you know how it goes!
Those computers are dope. The ratio price/value is amazing. I disagree with one point : the T version of the CPU is not, per say, more energy efficient. For a fixed amount of (small) work, it will draw about the same energy. It’s like to identical cars with one electronically limited to 60mph and the other 100mph. If you don’t take the highway, they will consume the same amount of energy. Of course, if you take the highway, it’s another story! My Optiplex 7050 with i5-7600 and 16GB of ram draws about 7w when idle for the full computer, which is nice.
Definitely interested in a video on adaptive streaming!
Looooove the use of the overhead camera in this video 🤩, helps a lot!
You can also buy refurbished cheap computers on ebay these days. I bought one for 50 Euros, put a bunch of hard drives in there and now it’s in my basement storing all my files.
I can’t support that complete phycopath with twitter
Sun, thanks for sharing this.
What are your thoughts about Dell Optiplex 3040 micro? It’s around the same price and is in stock.
Also what internal SSD replacement do you recommend for this?
I was think of a more suitable word than resurrecting. I think the typical phrase would be “climbing out of the rabbit hole.” If I needed one word it would be resurfacing.
Serve The Home has lots of 1L recommendations.
A great place to find these machines is on eBay. I bought a number of this same exact model for a home lab cluster.
sun just casually posing in his crocs
As always thank you for the content Sun!
Fedora is a great linux distribution. Just works.
