I have, thanks. Of course, a $1K PC will outperform any of these consoles given enough time :) GPU is important for sure, but I think storage performance is as important, since load times and stuttering take me out of the game in a way slig

All true but not necessarily relevant. Hardware is hardware, and I'm trying to compare bang-for-the-buck for equivalent hardware. PS5 and PCs share instruction set, memory interface, GPU type, storage interface (although the PS5 has so

Not to mention the performance difference between Pro and LTSC is night and day on an HDD. All that extra overhead is much less noticeable with an SSD, sure, but it's still there.

My experience as well. There is usually not enough information available to write truly useful tests at the point TDD wants you to.

Exactly, it's also a needless pain point for those switching from Windows, where the checkbox is relatively accessible, if a few clicks away.

I suspect they are removing 32-bit support now to ease the transition rather than doing everything at once. In a few years the pain of Catalina will have faded (somewhat) and presumably they'll only have to worry about backward compati

Such a shame that Valve isn't pushing SteamOS harder (unless I'm missing something?) because they are in the best position to loosen Microsoft's stranglehold, not only in terms of the Windows platform but also controller supp

Razer laptops also make a surprising number of appearances in Mythic Quest, to their credit. I didn't catch if there was promotional consideration, but either way, it's a great show.

FWIW, and to their credit, iZotope and NI sent out emails to all customers before Catalina was released to the public clearly warning them not to upgrade yet.

It’s amusing to still hear “Apple tax” in 2018, as if there is no additional value in better hardware, software and support for many people’s use cases.

I think they could have leveraged their friends system to weigh the reviews more based on "people like you". In other words, use all that data to show the rating they think you'll give (a la Netflix).

The interface should be what saves a ton of time, and should not expose the underlying technical model (especially because that model may change at some point)

I suspect many people (myself included) were using Server.app solely for one of the services (File Server, Caching Server, Time Machine Server) they since moved into the standard macOS install.

Reading the source code is not the only way to determine software's behavior, and few can read every line of every piece of software we run anyway.

2012 and 2013 15" Macbook Pros used NVidia. I think Apple likes to alternate every generation or two, if only to keep their options open.
