First day of summer vacation. Taking an EV on a 640km trip into another country.

@janl what’s the best Danish charging network? Will be there in three weeks or so

The more I think about Apple Vision Pro this week, the more I'm starting to realize I want to see it go up in price, not down. I want to see the higher-end model with an M2 Pro or Max chip, with 64GB of RAM and 1TB+ internal storage. Give it on-board macOS virtualization, too. I don't think enough people have given this thought, but I think there is huge potential for higher-end models, especially as pro apps find their way onto the platform — the ‘Mac Pro’ of spatial computing

@stroughtonsmith the headset itself could also be much cooler, lighter and simpler if you moved the CPUs away from the face (and you’d probably have to if you significantly upgraded them)

What's the recommended drive manufacturer for NAS these days?

I was using WD Red but I know they've been mired in controversy lately.

(Got a five bay of 4TB drives that will need upsizing).

@janl @schwa 15TB SSDs have apparently broken under $1300 now so it’s not that far off. (I have a total of 20 Exos X16s in NASes and none have failed, but seems late in the game to recommend them)

Anyone got a good recommendation for a standing desk VESA mount, that's not a $250+ Ergotron LX Tall? The Amazon Basics Ergotron white label that I was planning to use is pretty great but needs to go up 6-9" more for proper positioning.

@paul @gruber it’s strange how niche these things still are. Thunderbolt is everywhere but nobody needs a long cable? I wonder how many of the optical ones Corning has sold, like ever. Single digit thousands? Perhaps if they added power delivery…

@janl yeah, but plenty of hybrid cables like that exist 🤓 My Samsung TV hooks up to its tuner box with one, does something like 40 Gbps over a 15-meter fiber optic cable that also carries all the power the TV needs (so 100-200W?)

I just remembered the time on a previous project where one of the DBAs ran a standard security patch on our Oracle fleet, and then at the end of year audit ritual, we got a bill for $350K because the update changed the compression scheme on backups from bzip to LZO, thereby triggering an Enterprise-licensed feature on every Standard edition box in our org. 7+ years later, and I'm still salty about that.
