I lucked into a super deal on this laptop (in-store only) about three months before RAM prices started getting crazy, and my wife was awesome enough to pick it up for me at Micro Center while she was in the city. 🙌 So far it’s been an absolute beast: coding, compiling, LLMs, image generation, and basically anything else I’ve thrown at it without breaking a sweat.

🔇 How to Disable the “You Are Currently Being Recorded” Message on Wyze Cam OG and OG Telephoto (Yes, that overly dramatic voice can finally take a hike) If you’ve recently picked up a Wyze Cam OG (or the OG Telephoto), you may have noticed a feature that’s… let’s say less than stealthy. When the camera detects motion, a robotic voice announces: “You are currently being recorded.” 😬 Uh, thanks Wyze, but I’m trying to monitor, not startle the deer,
