  • 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.










  • I’ve been running ITX gaming builds for years, they work great and I don’t use expansion ports anyways.

    My advice would be choose the case you want first. Bigger ITX cases will take standard components easily (with some limits on GPU length), but if you want Very Small and Mighty (e.g. DanCase, Fractal Design Terra), component choice becomes very important. You’ll need to consider cpu, gpu, and cooling clearances.

    It’s like PC building on moderately hard mode, it’s a little more difficult but the results are worth it!



  • 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.
