I followed much the same path as you. And then I did buy the Micro Four Thirds camera for an overseas holiday. It was better enough to satisfy my craving for manual settings and RAW output. But it was bulky enough for it to be a decision &q

Maybe that isn't his point. A lot of people don't use UI optimally. They "Go to google, type what they want, google gives it to them." Sure, you could click on the 9 dots on the top right and select maps for google maps.

Huh. So everything in moderation, including moderation.

As per sibling comment to yours, society wide development seems to lead to lower birth rates. Lift the masses out of poverty.

Yeah, I keep coming back to this "$1 billion idea" of building a solar plant on big shed roofs. Quite literally buy a reasonable sized property in the country(with/near rail) and cover it in sheds. Once the solar energy outpu

Many comments about overtime being banned as though it is a bad thing. My understanding was that "Overtime" was meant to be used sparingly for short term circumstances - not for months on end - to avoid burnout. From a labour cost

You seem bummed out by the idea of where the world is going. Look back at "The Future" as thought of by people in the 1950's and see how accurate they were. So don't think you will be accurate. And if it is that bad, or

I agree with you. My frustrations centre around wait times after starting an app. Am I waiting for CPU? No. Storage? No. I am waiting for some friggin call-home/update-check/irrelevant network request. Edit:brevity, removal of pro

A lot of people will say things they won't write, especially in a nice environment.

While I agree with the sentiment, many potential students are looking overseas. Is there an Internet equivalent of "coffee and conversation"? Steam game gift and discord maybe...

One issue with capitalism as it currently stands, it is largely based on self-interest. On the one hand, GP laments lack of work on local social issues. On the other hand, GP is competing with everyone in that local area for the best jobs a

Yeah. I read "decimate" with the broader definition. I would write "decimate" with the narrower definition. But that scenario doesn't come up much.

Strong Opinions, Weakly Held" - I missed this being a thing. Seems like terrible wording for something that already had english words. Science. Devils Advocate.(although this is not obviously a better phrase...)

Not sure where I heard it but: "No decision is a decision." IE Decide to put off your decision until later. People agitating for everyone to "voice their opinion now" are often looking to form a mandate from those opinio

I did ICT support for the ACT government. Jervis Bay was a pain in the arse.

^^ This ^^ I like water cooling, but there is no replacement for displacement. You can have higher tech radiators with better fins along with better fans and airflow modelling etc of course. But it is always better if there is more of it.

I am a fan of water cooling too. Built gaming rig for my brother. He had an issue and posted it over 3000km (2000 miles) while full of water. Was fine. I fixed it, refilled it and posted it back! Still running 5 years later. But I do go a l

The AIO are not really worth it. Custom loops can be if you do it right. My basic rule is - There is no replacement for displacement. get a big, like proper big 200mm(in both directions) or bigger radiator and a single big fan. Ultimately,

Agreed. I need to update my gaming rig. Waiting for - Ryzen 3 - next round of GPUs from both vendors (although ML folks likely stay nVidia of course) - with luck, a better pcie4 SSD will be out by then too. I really wouldn't build o

Yeah, my comment does seem to depict America as a monolith. I mean, no one in the world thinks Silicon Valley is lacking in relevance. And no doubt many other places have their crap sorted out too. But my point remains, America on the whole

Similar to you, "discoverability" is what irks me about MS trend recently. As you say, the version you can "view and instantly know" = easy to discover what/how you can do. A lot of MS stuff recently seems to have f
