It is still night and day better. The Intel stock cooler is a crappy extruded aluminum part. The Wraith Prism that comes with the 3700X is actually a proper heatsink with heatpipes and high density fin stacks that allow for reasonably effic

I don't understand what market Shapr3D is trying to target, it would be a great piece of software for doing quick designs for 3D printing when I don't need a full CAD solution, but the pricing is too high for anyone doing that. At

In a recent WAN show he was hinting at a known name that applied but didn't say much more than that. Definitely wouldn't be surprised if this was that.

It is like you didn't watch the video link in the comment you replied to. Linus is trying to add to his entertainment empire with more scientific data based reviews. He seems to be perfectly aware of what he has to produce to keep his

I disagree with the idea that you should avoid hire/fire. Yeah they aren't happy words, but I'm far more annoyed by people who mince words and don't convey their point succinctly and clearly. At one point in the article

The problem is that a lot of processes still leave a lot to interpretation, or many scenarios have grey areas on how to apply a process. The author mentions it a few sections later, you don't want the processes to have a ton of overhea

Quite simply, as someone from a place where the term is protected, an Engineer is someone that is licensed by an engineering regulatory body. The more interesting discussion is what is engineering work. The best definition for engineering t

In practice the true effect of mirrorless cameras and their new lens mounts are in how they affect the optical formulas that manufacturers are choosing. No longer does an optical designer have to make the same compromises when they can assu

Of course it is about costs, which was driven by the fact that the technology for on sensor phase detect autofocus got good enough that the separate phase detect array was no longer required to achieve high performance cameras (the DSLRs da

Are you sure you didn't just spell it wrong? "Addams Family" brings that up right away on Prime Video for me. Though it would be nice if the search was able to deal with errors like that.

I've used more expensive printers for work (primarily Zortrax), and have owned a cheap Tevo printer and currently own a Prusa. I'm fully of the opinion to just buy a Prusa. FFF/FDM printing is at such a point that there are f

This approach still doesn't fix what I feel is the worst part of "portrait" mode images, which is that the transition to the out of focus areas looks incredibly unrealistic. If your background is so far out of focus, then the

I would argue most jobs are moving to be more generalist. The jobs where you need a deep knowledge of a singular topic to push human knowledge are quite rare (especially in a fast moving industry like tech). Rather it is more common to be e

This drives me absolutely nuts too. There is just too much pressure from various different job functions within companies to constantly change things even if it doesn't actually improve the customer's experience. People don't

This is maybe half right. The demand for short term maximization of profits over all others is really driven by being a public company and shareholders only being satisfied if they see gains that exceed the market even at the detriment of t

I kinda wish I had a need to buy a laptop. I'd love to support what they are doing, and the specs and features are pretty much what I would be looking for if I was buying a laptop.

IQ has nothing to do with it. That is simply a crappy measure of certain types of problem solving ability. That is a cultural divide problem. Asian cultures value education so much more than North American culture so families have a large f

As a mechanical designer who has quite a bit of machining experience, I'm the person sounding like a broken record about chamfers when doing design reviews. Blondihacks quote will be going straight into my repertoire of quotes.
