I presume the tablet is screen extended over the network? It’s neat in theory, but completely useless when using VPN for work.
The SSH case is valid though, for needing almost no hardware - VPN in, ssh to your real host with access to...
The screen come from an other laptop and a tablet.
If you ssh (or other) to your work computer/server session, infinite ? If you write text, html, finalcut/premiere is able to do quite a bit on 8GB, specially if you do not mind for 4k
Fine with me, especially if they go back to lower latency NAND. I’d much rather have a 1Tb latency optimized SLC NVME drive than a 16 TB QLC drive. A low latency drive really improves the use case I want a NVME drive for. For bulk storage, I’m...
"I prefer slower, less secure, less powerful, less reliable devices with worse battery life because it is very important to me that people don't think I am a conformist. And something about a SD card and a removable battery which hasn't existed...
The problem here is that I strive to never use any of those HIDs, so they hold almost no value.
For work, I'm using a windows laptop because WSL is where it's at - my servers are Linux, so I want to actually be using Linux for anything local...
He was doing micro-benchmarking to optimize software he was working on and noticed sshd using consistantly more cpu time (~500ms) to do a task that is normally almost instant, and was also causing some errors in valgrind (iirc) after a recent...
I think most people who use and evangelize OSS, but don't actually develop it, don't realize how it actually goes on the back end. They think there are hundreds, or thousands, of eager beavers working on the project. Likewise they think people...
Yeah, that's because most people don't understand the difference between political structures and economic systems.
It's the reason communism quips are so easy. As far as I'm concerned the inevitable outcome of pure capitalism is feudalism and...
That much I could believe. Greedy politicians? Practically a given. Counter-intuitive conspiracies about how re-instating a law that might give the government the power to slap a few trillion dollar ISPs on the wrist for extortion will somehow...
I disagree.
From the perspective of "does it prepare me for the workforce" sure. Many of the things you learn in college are useless for that.
But there is more to higher education than just workforce training.
The original charter of the...
Denuvo isn’t that bad, when done correctly but what it is, is easy to implement (not necessarily well). But it has issues with UE4 if you don’t manage threads well (it can scratch the hell out of your storage), I believe they fixed this in UE5 in...
Sweeney will once again just hang back, let Valve and others take all the risk, make all the investment, do all the heavy machinework boring a tunnel through the linux gaming mountain. And then he'll show up and decry "Steam's outrageous and...
That cruft running in the background is, guaranteed, going to be doing something more than sitting quietly at an inopportune moment. Worse offenders are windows update, adobe creative cloud, and any video conferencing/calling software. Seems to...
My take is the same as it was 30 years ago. If something isn't actively used, it should not be installed. Hardware or software. It just ads more points of failure and potential vulnerabilities, not to mention bloat that increases RAM, CPU...
I have to agree here. I wish installation prompts allowing you to select components were more robust than they currently are for a lot of popular programs.
You call it streamlining, I call it dumbing down... 😝 I kid I kid. Anyway this may be a generational thing. When it comes to my PC I am a terrible control freak. I want to have 100% control (although that is quite impossible nowadays) on what...
It's the other way around my friend. My girlfriend sure as shit doesn't care about picture quality (or audio quality, it drives me nuts). If I was just buying a TV to share with others I'd just get the biggest and cheapest one out there since...
