Similar specs but run Windows here, part of the reason being that I noticed that the ray tracing performance is just awful on Linux compared to Windows. I found I get slightly better framerates in most games in Linux, but anything that uses

did you try playing mirrors edge through steam? I ask because steam input really does work wonders

It works but performance has definitely taken a hit over the last few days.

Indeed - it amazes me that people talk about Apple like they have excellent customer service. I've honestly had much better customer service experiences with just about any other OEM.

In what sense doesn't it work though? Because from a re-offending rate it unequivocally does work. In terms of preventing new crimes from being committed, I think the honest answer is "it depends". I think early intervention

Indeed - I used to use Spaces for a project but found not just the uptime but teh overall reliability and performance was, at the time at least, markedly worse than AWS.

You've described exactly why my company moved from DigitalOcean to AWS a while ago. Whilst AWS is more expensive and perhaps over-engineered for our use-case, it was absolutely essential to have some kind of ACLs. I mean, I can't

At first I was concerned about abuse of WFH by employees too, but then I realised, people in the office often aren't particularly productive either. From my own team, if I had to guess, the actual number of productive hours are similar

Looking at what they're doing with Outlook I'd bet money that they intend to replace the desktop version of Excel with the web version sooner or later.

Anecdotal but I will say the shift to WFH isn't really a thing in China from what I've seen.

Which is rather amusing, as my partner, a Chinese national, is regularly hounded to register, despite not being eligible to do so (and in fact, would be committing an offense if she tried).

I feel like this is a massively underappreciated view in general. I always see people talking about how brilliant it is to run your own business / be your own boss, but I think there's immense value in just finishing and going hom

I don't know why but I really, really hoped he'd come into the AMA with good intentions, or maybe even to announce that actually, you know what, they've reconsidered and now they're going to walk back some of the changes

What do you consider to be affordable? In the UK used RTX 3090s still go for well over 1k.

Does the UK send letters and fines? I haven't torrented without a VPN for years but the worst I ever heard anyone getting was a letter from the ISP saying "that was very naughty, please don't do it again".

Absolutely this - I use a Corne and it's my favourite keyboard for productivity by miles. I do have another keyboard - a 61 key that I use for gaming, but for day-to-day productivity the corne is absolutely glorious.

My guess, based on the fact that Logic Pro and FCP, in the nicest way I can say this, haven't had any meaningful core upgrades in a while, is that they're planning some fairly major updates on macOS for both and the plan is to rel

Keep in mind that whilst you don't need to ask permission, you do need to obtain a mechanical license and I have a sneaking suspicion that many of the artists covering (particularly on YouTube) haven't done this. Keep in mind th

I think part of it comes down to knowing your children well enough to know if this is likely. In truth as someone with autism and ADHD I found myself down some pretty nasty rabbit holes if I wasn't at least given some guidance.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Even if the student has the absolute best of intentions, you have no way of knowing that the laptop doesn't have say, malware on it.

I've noticed this to some extent with their CPUs as well. From what I can tell this is, in part, because AMD run their chips much closer to their physical limits than say, Intel or Nvidia do. They're all redlining so to speak. As

Indeed. Though to be fair, having a bike is so much cheaper than a car that even if it did get stolen it'd still be cheaper to replace it than run a car.

Funnily enough where I live those gated communities have actually ended up being specifically targeted, because funnily enough people assume that if you can afford to live there you probably have stuff worth taking.

To be fair I have a work-provided MacBook Pro (Intel to be fair) with 8GB of RAM and it's borderline unusable. If I didn't have experience with higher-specced Macs in the past the experience would be enough to make me swear off ev

Even that sounds much better than the service I received in the UK. Each time I had to take it to the physical Apple store (they didn't even offer me the option of a mail-in repair, and when I asked said it wasn't an option) and e

The main thing your comment highlights for me is how much of a push we need for more sustainable methods of transportation in general. There's always going to be people who will need to drive, but there's a hell of a lot of people

Thing is, there's other nationalities who quite frankly would probably be a lot more effective at coming off as convincing to potential victims, especially given the unfortunate effect this has had on the Indian people's reputatio

Indeed. I hate to say it because I love Linux but Wine has genuinely been by far the most stable ABI on Linux.

The part about attention from women is very, very true. Obviously relationships are hardly the only thing that matters in life, but it amazes me how much more attention I get from women since I got my life together. Turns out a man who&#x27

I know it's ridiculous but I genuinely didn't realise I had tinnitus for so long, precisely because I've had it all my life and so just assumed that tinnitus must be something different. I genuinely can't imagine not hav
