There's not much room for any open programs on that panel. Why didn't you use a dock for the launchers instead?

I would hope that a device capable of pulling 200w from USB would be intelligent enough to detect the excessive voltage drop and error out or reduce the current.

My server with 8 hard drives uses about 60 watts and goes up to around 80 under heavy load. The firewall, switch, access points and modem use another 50-60 watts.

I really need upgrade my server and firewall to something about 10 years newer, it would reduce my power consumption quite a bit and I would have a lot more runtime on UPS.

That would be cool for playing console games on, but I sure wouldn't want to have to move it.

Yeah, that's not a prank. That could have killed people if nobody noticed it.

I hope they lock his dumb ass up for a long time.

Just add another digit and watch the entire country break down because they can't find someone to update their 40+ year old software written in COBOL.

You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.

This is why you don't buy any hardware that requires "the cloud" to function with no option to self host. At least they are giving refunds this time, but that's usually not the case.

Discord keeps getting used for things it shouldn't be used for like tech support. I will be glad when it dies. Don't hide your support behind a platform that can't be searched from the web. It's not a replacement for forums and issue trackers.

Touch screens should not be used for any controls needed to operate a car. You can't use them without taking your eyes off the road.

Why the hell does a vending machine need a facial recognition camera to "activate the purchasing interface"?

There should just be a set of buttons to select what you want and a window so you can see what items are available.
