  • This is a difficult question these days to answer. There are a few categories where I always stick to established brand names, these are typically electronics or anything electrical like portable battery packs or wall chargers. Poorly made items in those categories can start fires. And when it comes to silicon, there’s only a few to trust anyway since there are only a few major fabs out there.

    I usually follow the site:reddit.com search method but I’ve had to further filter my criteria by only looking in enthusiast subreddits instead of the bigger ones like /r/AskReddit.

    It gets difficult though for general goods that don’t really need well known brands and whose performance doesn’t matter as much but it’s hard to tell the quality online. Lawn chairs, pizza cutters, sushi kits, clothes hangers, rope, and shower curtain rods are good examples. These usually come down to luck of the draw.



  • As you might imagine, all this snapshot recording comes at a hardware penalty. To use Recall, users will need to purchase one of the new “Copilot Plus PCs” powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chips, which include the necessary neural processing unit (NPU). There are also minimum storage requirements for running Recall, with a minimum of 256GB of hard drive space and 50GB of available space. The default allocation for Recall on a 256GB device is 25GB, which can store approximately three months of snapshots. Users can adjust the allocation in their PC settings, with old snapshots being deleted once the allocated storage is full.

    Oh no my computer doesn’t meet the hardware requirements whatever shall I do
