It's still probably a good product for big Audio/Video production houses to fill them up with PCIe cards for Video/Audio, super fast ethernet or SAN cards.
I had similar improvements without fasting and without keto. I do 16:8 on some days but it's mostly to help me manage my weight. I strongly believe most of the fasting benefits come from the fact that it makes managing weight easier.
Calorie restriction and tracking my macros has helped me tremendously not only loosing weight but also understanding nutrition and what works for me and what doesn't. I am a 40 year old Software Engineer and fitter and stronger than I have ever been.
I do quite a bit of high intensity cardio (cycling) + weight training and my recovery and peak performance suffered a lot when I tried keto for a few weeks, it also tanked my hormone levels. I still focus my carb intake on times around training but generally don't restrict.
with blood work, I had some symptoms as increased fatigue, libido gone and similar which can also come from extended calorie restriction together with intense excercise anyway, so its not necessarly keto related.
For me the benefits seem to be a lack of carb cravings, and my fullness indicator turned on for the first time in my life. That was with 20:4 though, and no keto.
You need to stay on it for months to become keto adapted. I would say 6 months minimum, after that the energy swings go away and you generally have a lot more energy. You can also add MCT oil. The problem with keto is eating enough calories.
I had the same issues with a 2019 16" MBP. Annoying fans as soon as I connected an external display, getting very hot, okay performance.
Switched to a M1 Pro 14" and couldn't be happier, as far as work laptops go it's the best I ever used since switching to macs in 2009.
the more you do it, the more your body will adapt and then after smaller workouts, say a 30min run in the morning, you will start feeling energized instead of tired, as your time to tire yourself out increases over time.
I have to say that I kinda like the feeling of achievement afterwards and also like feeling sore and tired for some reason. That's also the only time when I allow myself unhealthy food nowadays and don't even feel bad about it. I lost 10kg and am fitter at 40 then ever before.
> It's good to know that I'm not the only one, it's a bit sad to know that there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it.
Not sure you should see it so negatively/defeatist. Maybe you just have not found the right thing yet that gives you joy. I discovered my love for road cycling only in my mid thirties and now derive immense pleasure from long rides totally exerting myself and burning 2000+ calories in many of those rides. Lost 10kg of weight and am fitter at 40 then I ever was before.
Gigabit internet is quite widely available through different cable providers in Germany nowadays. Also the country side seems to be moving up, the very rural place where I grew up (and where my mom still lives) had a max of 2Mbps DSL for the last 20(!) years and now the whole area is being upgraded to fibre and will enjoy 10/1Gbps by the end of the year!
I moved into a newly build house in 2014 and was shocked to learn that all the houses only had basic copper telephone lines and Sat-TV. The whole field was empty and they had to do the groundwork for the copper cables anyway. I was shocked when the Telekom person, who connected my then 16MBit/s ADSL contract I had to move with, told me that the next TAL (connection point; Teilnehmer Anschluss Leitung, I don’t know the correct English term) was 5km out and that I will only able to receive 10MBit/s max. Netflix HD was blurry and browsing while streaming impossible.
I hear news that it gets better and that rural places finally get faster speeds but as long as I live where I live now I’m bound to VDSL or find enough neighbors who would be willing to ship in to get a Fibre connection.
Just fyi as I know you aren’t a native speaker, it’s ‘chip in’, if you were native I’d assume a typo, probably is for you too, but it’s a phrase easy to mishear and when I was learning a second language I appreciated these corrections.
The drawback is that cable it is a shared medium, so it can be quite bad when demand is high (in the evening) and the upload bandwidth usually is very low.
Lived in Germany for 5 years and cable internet was generally terrible. We had 200/20MBit. But the actual upstream would often be 1MBit. Downstream was better but at many times not great. There would also be regular outages, that would take hours to solve. The only alternative was VDSL with a maximum downstream of 50MBit.
We moved back to NL and have 1GBit fiber, and there has been a short outage once in three years. I know that there are a still a lot of addresses without fiber, but when I last checked the stats, about 50% of the addresses has the possibility to get a fiber subscription. Heck, even my parents who live in a small rural town have fiber.
Yeah the classic argument, but at some point every internet connection becomes a shared medium. It really depends on how the network is setup and where the fibre backhauls start. If the building has older wiring which can only support 1Gbps and you have a bunch of high bandwidth users, then yes it can affect your bandwidth more than using other technologies.
Interesting. In populous areas of the US they use HFC so the cable to your house only services a few buildings, with the neighborhood having a fiber optic back-haul that is shared, but much faster
We have similar situation in Poland. I live in rural area, but quite close to bigger city and enjoy 1Gbps for the last 4 or 5 years.
I wonder how the upgrade might look considering that 10Gbps hardware is quite expensive (and house cabling might need upgrading) and 2.5Gbps/5Gbps is quite new and hard to find router or laptop dock/hub supporting it.
hm I think the industry was stale for quite some time but lately it has picked up a lot. What exactly are you looking for?
Today you have high refresh rates,4k or 5k screens, (curved) Ultrawide, Variable Refresh rates, low latencies.
Comparing them with TVs is not entirely fair, as those usually are not great for displaying text unless you get a specific panel with good chroma subsampling and in terms of latency TVs are usually also pretty far behind Monitors. The really good TVs are equally as expensive.
MKBHD recently did a pretty good video exactly on this type of question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2KbwC-s7pY
