Certainly but as I’ve learned the economics aren’t there. In a previous role we developed a novel heatsink and fan design and saw some licensing interest. We learned that all that matters for thermal management solutions was cost above all

I tend to pass my old devices down. My partner has my ancient ‘iPad Air 2’which ddg tells me has an A8X and it is working perfectly for her needs.

I’m probably going to get the 12.9” model. I’m a lecturer and it’ll be very useful for my teaching. Not so much for research where I’m working with stuff like Matlab and OpenFOAM and specialist Windows software for laboratory instruments. C

You can set iOS so that a double or triple tap on the rear of the phone case can trigger almost whatever you want including opening the camera.

Those are fair points. The Switch has done exceptionally well considering its hardware limitations. Thinking back I remember playing the Witcher 2 and 3 on the same PC and being impressed by how much more performant Red engine was on the la

Most games on Switch run sub 720p and don’t manage the seamless open world that the Witcher does. It certainly looks a lot worse than on other systems but it manages to deliver the experience pretty well. It’s hard to find a game other than

Graphically Nier is very basic compared to The Witcher 3, scaling the latter to Switch was indeed miraculous. Nier is not remotely surprising — there are probably more polygons in the main character model than the entire map.

Agreed, I really disliked it and I forced my way through all the ‘endings’. I got that it was being clever, it just fell flat, annoying and a bit pervy. Also it’s not particularly impressive technically, it looks like a launch Xbox 360 game

I’ve found watching the WWDC keynotes where they announce a new version of iOS or MacOS a good way to learn many of the new gestures and features. For your average user many of these features will remain hidden and I suspect that’s partiall

It’s down to cost. The energy rating is subdivided into thirds. An A1 home would have both but an A2 or an A3 will have just one. As long as it’s any type of A rated it’s acceptable.

You’re going to have to explain your reasoning to me there. If your fridge is at 4°C and you put something in there at 21°C it will have to transfer an amount of Joules of thermal energy to the internal environment and then the fridge will

In our climate there is simply no need for AC as it never gets uncomfortably warm for more than a few days a year. Air to water is used to heat radiators and supply hot water in lieu of gas or oil fired heating. In other climates air to air

Your refrigerator is a heat pump. If you put something warm in there its heat is drawn out to the environment heating your kitchen. A refrigerant is used to achieve this. When it’s pressure is reduced it will evaporate absorbing thermal ene

A few blender add-ons do this. The FLIP fluids one for example. They seem to keep the source a version behind too. Seems to work well too as they are producing solid updates for the tool.

Lots of fun. Works surprisingly well on mobile too. The Astro’s Playroom tech demo for the PS5 has a level like this where the DualSense triggers are used for the thrusters. The force feedback is incredible and really gives you an edge in f

Especially because I only typically let them use it on the Apple TV and not a phone or iPad. They get to use a physical controller (DS4) and we can talk about their game as they play. So it’s less mindless and we can keep an eye on what the

Yes, you can use other renderers with Blender. RenderMan for example.

I miss the interactivity of selecting data in older versions of Excel (pre 2007). You can see the data ranges highlighted when you select a series on the plot and you could drag them as desired. Currently it’s very awkward and unintuitive

I disagree, the point was to show how object importing scales and he used an extreme example to make the point. He also gives an example of duplicating 10k cubes in Blender (something not out of the ordinary) also sees a massive speed up. T
