  Imagine if the AI generated a normal-looking component. The designers would say 'No, no. It has to look freaky... so you can tell'

  Loving this, it's a lot of fun to ride. Will be great once I have the mudguards fitted 100%

• Laptop Choice?

  in Miscellaneous and Meaningless • 3 years, 7 months

  

  I've sorted something temporary so my decision about a fancy laptop has been put off, but for reference, there are two 4k-ish displays available on the XPS13, OLED 400nit and non-OLED 500nit, the first being cheaper. Which would you lot go for? I'm thinking OLED because low-light performance.

  I guess that is what ultimately decides it since they're both really nice otherwise - I already use windows on desktop, and I don't want to complicate things by chopping and changing with MacOS

  @Stonehedge yes thanks I already had turned on athlete mode

  I guess I'll see if the readings are any use to me as I build up more data. The variations that I can see so far (within 0.6%) are correlated to weight (which itself has a flat trend), so probably have more to do with water-levels than fat, if I understand right

  Has anyone got the Renpho bodyfat scales? If so, how accurate do you think the fat measurement is?

  Mine give me 11.5%, but I just started with a personal trainer at the gym and he said 'your bodyfat must be about 5%'. I'm 193cm, 75kg, and not completely unmuscular so maybe he's right - maybe basic BIA doesn't work at the low end?
