Even on the windows side you are better off with the 1st party defender features these days.

Enterprise use 3rd party AV for central orchestration and control. Theres no reason for this in consumer land.

The threat detection isn’t meaningfully better across any of them (aside from some being “astonishingly bad”) despite what vendors claim.

The best people to know how to protect your OS are the people that made it.

I have a similar build and similar body fat percentage.

I don’t tend to notice a significant weight loss from exercise, but I do look a bit skinner/healthier - muscle weighs more than fat.

The only way I lose weight is by dieting, not exercise. But the exercise makes me feel better/happier/stronger so you do both :)

Consistency is key - 3 months you are just getting started if you are coming from zero! From a similar starting point I found it took about 6months of daily exercise before I felt significantly different.

Keep at it is my only advice, don’t sweat the protein measurements you aren’t at a level it matters. Avoid take out, eat reasonably well, and do at least 1hr of cardio or strength daily and you’ll get where you want to go.

Seagate are still pretty good? Western Digital/Sandisk are the ones with failing external SSD issues at the moment (same company).

It’s pot luck generally, unfortunately. Even good manufacturers can have a bad batch.

Not really… just a slightly higher end of gear, most of dells professional series will do it from memory, the gigabyte on my desk does it.

Yeah… tend to agree - it’s doable but OP would be reaching for some fairly hectic gear to solve a pretty small problem. Consumer monitors with PIP definitely exist and would be cheaper.

If all you’re looking to do is nicer input switching, a KVM switch would be a better solve.

Capture cards would be more useful if you wanted to record the gaming sessions. AFAIK they will always introduce latency as they are usually designed for a situation where that is fine.

Carbon credits have been abused all sorts of ways as essentially a license to continue polluting. The EU’s current stance is that the credit programs are so fucked in this manner they no longer really count.

Apples current approach of ‘everything we can and credit the rest’ is still ahead of the majority of the industries position, but not surprising that EU don’t accept it as ‘zero carbon.’

What the EU would like is for everyone to take responsibility for their own carbon generation throughout the entire supply chain rather than buying credits from greener companies, whether this is realistic or practical is yet to be seen.

You can get usb-c to c charging cables that tell you the wattage on the cable, no way in iOS itself I know of.

Be aware that charging speed will vary on all devices in accordance with what the battery controller thinks is best at any given time.

+1 for the refurb store. Usually at least a couple of hundred bucks off for an effectively brand new unit in normal packaging with a full warranty.
