Anecdata: I play a silly amount of World of Tanks on PC (DX11), running the x86 Windows release through parallels on the Mac is significantly more performant than it is to run it on MacOS via the official codeweavers wine wrapper. This is l

I appreciate them publishing their setup - but I do find somethings questionable to my taste. But my taste is irrelevant, what's cool is that it works for them. I really love using my MX Master mice (I think I've had one of every

Intel’s naming convention on consumer parts is relatively easy to grok, as it’s been much more consistent for the last 12 years than their server/workstation parts. Breaking both down we have 3 things to take note of: i5/i7 - indi

Tim Curry could be argued to have acted precisely as a Muppet in Muppet Treasure Island - That said in certain circumstances that may be an accurate description of his acting style to begin with.

Given the level of compute power in a thin client now a days, are they much different from a NUC? What my work (financial services) calls a thin client is really just a super small form factor PC.

Part of this is what I imagine is behind the “Blackwall” in the Cyberpunk universe.

They’ve got a different speaker configuration. There will likely be a difference between how they both sound.

They certainly do that in Europe too, but they also hard limit the output of the player. Even the balanced output, which should offer more power is limited to the same volume as the 3.5mm output.

This is exactly what they are doing - as confirmed by their response to my very unhappy review of the WM1AM2 on their website: https://www.sony.co.uk/store/product/nwwm1am2.cew/WM1AM2-Wal...

One thing to note about Sony android players is that the European models have ferocious volume limits; neither having high gain mode, nor the grunt to drive more inefficient headphones in low gain mode. This appears to be set as a value in

And if you fancy getting more 'Boutique' there's always the ZealPC "Clickiez" which are a reinvention of the ALPS style of click mechanism in an MX compatible chassis. Fabulous (but expensive) switches.

Dolby S is a type of noise reduction that’s done in the deck, and actively works on the audio stream as it’s being written to and read from the tape. It’s best used with a high quality tape, but I believe it can be used with any of the 3 ma

I grew to like Unity as time passed, the global menu, and the global search was great. Its initial launch was rough, but given how poorly Gnome 3 was received I think it was a valid path to explore

Mir would have been a better thing to point out as a poor technical decision. But Upstart came out before SystemD and was used by other distros, most notably RHEL5 + 6.

I'm not disputing your point - This is a very useful technique to practice - this awareness of what people are really asking. Unfortunately this is a twin edged sword - politicians for example will frequently reach in to the question t

Even just a one off with a particularly maverick Rogue Trader could introduce people to the various spacefaring species of the 41st Millenium - Stealing from the Tau, sparring with Dark Eldar, and enlisting aid of the Inquisition when Chaos

I wonder what aspects the first stories will focus on - will it be the grand Space Opera of the Heresy, a focussed and grizzled trench warfare series with the Guard, the crazed gangs of a hive city and the Arbites sent to police the broken

I think Epic have been looking at ID’s various attempts at making a modernised or esports friendly Quake (arguably UT’s prime competitor at the time), and believe there’s no market or demand for it.

The iPod touch was used forever as a (relatively) inexpensive development device. I’d say the phone absorbed the iPod.

Perhaps more generously, to Firefox, they’re interpreting Firefox user strings as an app sending data to them. For curiosity, where did you pull that data from?

good shout - I'm not so up to speed with what AVX512 can accelerate, but is it such a distinctive feature that it warrants a full delineating model number?

The last canonical example of Intel refreshing their naming convention was with their Xeon line up which is now utterly incomprehensible, at a glance you used to be able to understand what was going on; EX-YZZZ vA E3 - Rebranded Desktop Cla

The field seems to have comparatively visible representation, which is something I'm happy to see. An immediate question I have is how much of this change is because of society becoming thankfully more accepting of transpeople? Further

Older mac applications used to have the running state of an application utterly divorced from the windows the application presents. This has fallen away with time now, which saddens me.

Lion was a bit of a stinker in that regard, prior to that there was no “full screen” applications in that more traditional sense, only borderless full screen for video and games - anything else used “smart maximise” where the window size wo

It’s amazing how far we’ve come in 16 years - dual core dual socket processors to behemoths like this, which are faster per clock, faster per core and so dense as to make what would have been a rack’s worth of x86 compute possible in 1U I k
