I love my Instinct Solar. I have never connected it to my phone though — I don’t want notifications or anything. I can manually take the workout results and plug them into my phone.

The solar part is really nice. I did a three hour hike in Colorado a few weeks ago (GPS off) and added like eight days of estimated battery.

(Disclaimer that I’m still new-ish to Linux)

I just went about a year between EndeavorOS updates on a laptop and uhh… it wasn’t happy. I just installed Kubuntu which hopefully will be more forgiving haha.

I have an AKLLA A5 with a 3700x, RX 6800, 2x16gb DDR4 @ 3600 MT/s, and an XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB NVME. I have a Gigabyte 28” 144hz 4K monitor.

The A5 certainly isn’t the smallest case (10.3L) but I wasn’t happy with ITX GPUs topping out with the 5600xt.

I have a Minisforum EM680 mini PC on order which is TINY (0.8 L). I will use that as my travel PC that can handle light gaming. I am toying with the idea of using that as my only PC while turning my A5 into an eGPU enclosure. I would have to buy the logic board to make this work…

Short version: yes. As long as sugar and other junk isn’t added. Generally any intake of coffee has benefits over none; and 3-4 cups a day of coffee seemingly the sweet spot. Coffee intake should be minimal/none if pregnant. More studies are still needed on the topic.

Here’s a meta analysis (review of many studies) from the British Medical Association. I removed some wording to shorten their conclusion. https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5024

Coffee consumption was more often associated with benefit than harm for a range of health outcomes […] with summary estimates indicating largest relative risk reduction at intakes of three to four cups a day versus none, including all cause mortality (relative risk 0.83, 95% confidence interval 0.83 to 0.88), cardiovascular mortality (0.81, 0.72 to 0.90), and cardiovascular disease (0.85, 0.80 to 0.90). High versus low consumption was associated with an 18% lower risk of incident cancer (0.82, 0.74 to 0.89). Consumption was also associated with a lower risk of several specific cancers and neurological, metabolic, and liver conditions. Harmful associations were largely nullified by adequate adjustment for smoking, except in pregnancy […] There was also an association between coffee drinking and risk of fracture in women but not in men.
