I only use it docked when I want to do some work in the desktop mode with a keyboard and mouse. I think of the dock more for using it in Desktop mode than something comparable to the Switch running connected to a TV. The one exception is St

Not really sure I agree - particularly for skilled engineers. The salary gap at the mid to high-end between the UK and US is large right now, even at FAANG-grade firms. I have recent first hand experience of watching US based FAANG employee

We don't need to look to fiction in the US to see examples of encryption controlled by the State with laws, it was literally US government policy in the 90s/early 2000s. Examples include banning export of encryption keys longer th

I'm not arguing they should delay anything? Merely pointing out the availability of much cheaper and faster ARM Macs has accomplished an Osbourne like effect already - that Mac Pro is outdated and overpriced right now, and buyers on th

You think Apple should bear the cost and support burdens of maintaining compatibility for two CPU architectures across their OSes, app stores and in house applications for the benefit of a few thousand Mac Pro sales? There is simply no way

Kubernetes and docker solve different problems. One is a container runtime, the other is a container orchestration tool. A mega-corp using Kubernetes can still use Docker, the two can work together. "Docker compose" (not the same

This coupled with AMD's FSR 2/2.1 I'd argue. FSR can dramatically lower energy requirements while still maintaining acceptable image quality, and is critical for most of the Sony games to run at reasonable frame rates on the

As battery charges its pretty common to taper the charge rate to improve health of the battery. To my knowledge, no EV today will sit at 350kw for the full 10 to 80 percent even if it can draw this. You still get faster charge times as the

How is this deceptive? Anyone who has ever charged a phone is probably familiar with the concept that a higher wattage charger provides faster charging speeds - electric cars are no different. Higher power chargers charge faster is not some

Generally not really any better or worse. The electric bits added in a PHEV is relatively ancient, simple and reliable tech - ~5 to 20kwh battery plus a small electric motor added to the end of the existing transmission in most cases. Elect

It would be fascinating to see install stats on emudeck - I haven’t seen a single steam deck without it installed so far and I’ve met quite a few users “in the wild” now.

Maybe in a single still capture? Let’s not forget cameras can easily combine multiple exposures into a single capture to substantially increase dynamic range, and can do so at high frame rates, and can go well beyond 21 stops in doing so. T

By which metrics are human eyes outperforming “any camera that can be put in a car today”? This seems unlikely in almost any domain, given the much wider dynamic range camera sensors can capture - cameras can see into spectrum we simply ca

In many-to-most cases 4G and especially 5G will simply outperform Starlink. If you have the 4G it may not even be necessary to bother with the Starlink. Unless you want redundancy of a 2nd connection or you can only get a really terrible da

System linking IMO came of age even earlier, in the PS2. The original PS2 hardware could system link over 4 pin FireWire (I-Link in Sony speak or whatever they branded it). Late generation ps2 hardware dropped the FireWire port. Connecting
