Beat me to it. But I'd like to add that white tea is usually brewed at 90C, which is about 194F.

There are two common styles of brewing tea, western and eastern. Western style uses less tea leaves for an amount of water and the brewing time is longer. Eastern style, commonly known as gongfu style (can also be written kungfu), is more leaves per amount of water and shorter brews. Gongfu style also lets you brew the same leaves several times, while western style spends the leaves in one brewing.

If you want to gongfu brew it, I recommend about 5g of leaves for 100g of water. White tea doesn't go bitter that easily, so you can just brew it until it's good for your taste buds. You can start from 10-30s for the first brew and then add 5 second for every successive brews. Adjust as you see fit.

To break the leaves from the cake, use some long thin metal object. Screwdriver if that's all you have. Avoid cutting it, unless that's the only way to break it.

Have you tried to connect it to the MoBo then? If nothing appears on the display even then, the problem is somewhere else than your GPU.

Also, does the display have more than one input? Have you chosen the correct one from the display?

If you google something like '7680hz led', you'll find many results of products and such. 7680 is a multiple of 20, 24, 30, 60, among others, which are all common frame speeds for video files, but also for recording video. I also found this video, which shows the difference of large size screens with different refresh rates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP6fHWcUifo

It's surely a nice-to-have-feature, but I probably won't end up using it that much, as Kindle is my secondary device. I also have an Android e-reader, and yea, having all those apps is very useful.

I have Boox Page. The killer features are Android with its Play Store and the page turn buttons. Having all those apps instead of being limited to the few features that dedicated e-readers like Kindle has is simply great. As for the page turn buttons. It's nice to be able to use the device one-handed and turn pages by pressing a button instead of needing two hands to touch the screen. But the real killer is the long press functions you can bind to the buttons. If you are using one of the faster refresh modes, pretty much required with some apps, the screen can get messy fast. Being able to refresh the screen by just pressing 0.5 seconds (duration can be adjusted) the button your finger is already resting on is extremely convenient.

Also, if you are planning on using the Kindle app, those page turn buttons are almost mandatory. If you use the touch screen to turn pages, the Kindle app will animate page turns. There is a setting for page turn animations, but that only toggles between two different animations. The animation is fine if you use a faster refresh mode. Those refresh modes render the screen in lower resolution, causing text to look pixelated. “Normal” refresh mode renders the screen at max resolution, so text looks crisp, but it's slow. Page turn animations look horrible in that mode. The only way to avoid page turn animations in the Kindle app is by turning pages with a button.

I think the biggest downside is that Onyx decided not to include built-in support for dark mode. Android supports dark mode, and as such many apps have choices for Light, Dark and System, where System will automatically follow system's mode. Because the system doesn't support dark mode, the System setting in apps is always light mode. Which means, that if you want to toggle between light and dark mode, you need to use the apps' controls to do so. That means that you need to navigate some menus, and have to remember how and where the mode can be changed in each app. It would be so much more convenient if you could just pull down from the top and touch a button, like you can do on Kindle, for example.

There's a new similar phishing attack thanks to Google and their .zip domain. Web browsers support a feature that lets you use addresses of the form protocol://username:password@domain.tld{.text}. That feature allows you to log in to domain.tld{.text} with the given credentials. When you combine that with Unicode forward slashes, you can craft addresses that look like https://microsoft.com/files/@windowsupdate.zip{.text}, where the part between https://{.text} and @{.text} is a username and the part after @{.text} is the actual address most likely used for malicious intends. My example uses normal slashes, so will lead to Microsoft's website and page not found error. windowsupdate.zip{.text} is a domain someone has registered, but leads to no-where as of today. PSA: Don't go to random web addresses you find on the Internet or elsewhere.

Human eyes have three kinds of cells (photoreceptors) for color detection. They each react to either red, green or blue light. If more than one of those cells are activated, your brain interprets the light based on what cells activated, and how strongly they activated. If red and green cells activates, the light is seen as yellow. The light is seen as white if all of them activates fully.

This also means that light bulbs can produce white light by simply producing three wavelengths (colors) of light. The problem with that kind of “fake” white is that colors will look wrong under such light due to the way how objects reflects light. This is very common with low quality LED lights, and even the best smart lights aren't very good at it. When buying LED lights, you might want to look at the CRI (Color Rendering Index) value and make sure it's above 90, or as high as possible.

How is it privacy invasive? For example, compared to competition like Google?

I think it's simply a question of what are Google's interests. Users doesn't pay anything to Google for the service, so that's not where Google's interests are. Advertisers pay Google, so that's where Google's interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.
