Nowaday, Computer is not cheap
I need to do the machine learning. Therefore, I need to use Nvidia RTX card. Moreover, if you have something good, that is 14 th i9, and DDR5 64 to 128GB RAM. Because the CPU and graphical card, that is required a good cooling system. I need to Good Graphical Card, CPU and RAM. That required about AUD $5000. That is not easy..... I am thinking ASUS ROG NUC, that may be a better solution with lower price
PieChart of LiveChart
For using the PieChart, that is very easy, you just need to bind the series collection
Then I just need to get the data from my repo:
var categories = new ObservableCollection(_database.BudgetCategories.GetAllCategories());
SeriesCollection = new SeriesCollection();
foreach (var category in categories)
{
var budgetItems = new ObservableCollection(_database.BudgetItems.GetItemByCategory(category));
double amount = 0;
foreach (var item in budgetItems)
{
amount += (double) item.Amount;
}
var pieSeries = new PieSeries
{
Title = category.Name,
Values = new ChartValues { new ObservableValue(amount) },
DataLabels = true
};
SeriesCollection.Add(pieSeries);
}
}
Long-Term Usage Review for Oppo Finder X5 Pro
This is not a newly released phone. Thus, I did the long-term usage review. I have used that phone for about 8 Months. Generally, that is very happy. I brought the photo during two local trips. I used it as the primary camera for photos and video.
Actually, I bought this phone for photo taking. It has 50MP Camera. That is not bad. Moreover, it has Hasselblad-Branded Triple Camera Units. You can shoot the photo in Hasselblad color tone. Furthermore, it has A.I. Mode. I found it will tune the color, even it is better than your eyes. I got the feeling, it is a bit faked.

It has marisilicon X imaging npu. That is good for low light photography. I found it can enhance the light a lot.

I did not buy that for gaming purposes, although it should a good performance for gaming. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU and 12GB Ram, that is very good,
That is a flagship phone released on 2022, and the price around $800. I think that is a very value-for-money phone
Internet Outage caused by mouse
Two months ago, I lost my internet connection. The first thing I thought about was that my internet provider got an outage in my area. After I contacted my provider via online chat, there was no outage in my area. At first, I believed my provider was declining after I checked my NBN box at the house after it fell after I touched it. The cable attached at the back was loose. I discovered that the cable had been chewed. I grew up in a city filled with high-rise buildings. It's tough to believe that an internet outage could be caused by an animal chewing on the cable. Also, I had a humorous idea - is the optical cable tasty?
Charting Tool for WPF
Recently, we have been buying a WPF application. That is a budget management application. That is talking about money. Of course, charts need to play an important role. I have looked into various charting libraries. Some of them need to be paid. However, one is entirely open and completed under an MIT license. That does not require access to their AP. Charting is done locally. It supports everything, such as MAUI, Wpf, Winforms, and ASP.net. In addition, the documentation is alright. That is Live Charts.
