There is one job that does what archeologist does in films: software engineers.
You have to decipher ancient languages, riddles, and have to avoid traps all the times.
Sure, you don’t go into deep jungle, but you sometimes get to dive into the deep web to find traces of documentations to help resolve a specific case.
Firefox vertical tabs are better IMO. At least you can close them when minimized, which Edge cannot.
I never got an issue with copilot, at least in Visual Studio (only one I use).
Make repetitive tasks like unit test a breeze. And very useful for debugging issues with tools like Entity Framework.
I switched to full Linux on my personal hardware though. I only use Windows for work.
By being sorry to not being one, aren’t you already half Canadian? 😆
Same here, the Steam Deck changed my life 😆. Less AAA, more AA and indie games, especially at work.
There are not many cards you need these days, especially not that doesn’t have an USB equivalent. USB capture cards are now decent, same for Wi-Fi+Bluetooth ones (provided you buy one with deported antennas). Other than storage related ones (for moar m.2!, or for sff SAS ports), I don’t see that much uses these days.
Even my NAS, which uses a micro-ATX MB, only uses one slot on the 3 available. And all its 4 m.2 ports are used (2 for redundant system discs, one for an AI accelerators (for Frigate object detection), the last one being an old SSD used as ZFS cache for my main disk array (will probably be replaced by another AI accelerator once I find another use which would need one).
IGPs are very dependant on memory speed. Many uses gains from faster memory speed (but I can’t give you one out of memory), but most games gains more from memory latency than raw speed (with some exception, like Stellaris).
Usually, if your app is CPU heavy, you’ll gain from RAM speed.
More like for the price of 64GB.
And suddenly 90% of both X, Facebook and Reddit fell silent.
How else would they flaunt their big pilot energy?
To be honnest, Nextcloud is kinda a piece of shit software. Every major version break something, an error in an extension can make it crash entirely without any failsafe preventing it. I already lost the database twice (in what… 5 major versions), and the only reason I still use it is because I’m too lazy to use anything not in the TrueNAS apps repository.
On the other hand, they already sell it so high I ended up buying mine without RAM. I found 2x16Go for 125€ vs 180€ sold by Framework 😅. Same speed, but I can’t compare CAS as Framework do not list them on their page.
Edit : some source claims DDR5 5600 C46 for those sold by Framework, which is the same as the ones I bought. So I consider myself lucky, despite the price hike (the same kit was 65-70€ last summer)
The robot was trained on Russian social media videos.
You can now use thirds parties APIs for Passkey. I use ProtonPass on my part, it works great most of the time, but there are still some apps that have Google provider hard-coded.
!catshitspotting
But that would open many security holes, allowing XSS attacks, loading viruses, and all those bad things.
For a normal user, 16G is still enough.
But for a power user like me, a Dev, with multiple IDE open, multiple browsers, a database manager with a dockerized DB, I’m basically at 96-98% RAM all the time.
But even then, if you use a local AI, prepare to loose multiple Gigs to it.
I already used more than 30 Gigs on one LLM (dolphin-mixtral:8x7B for the curious), when I tried testing it, and a more reasonable Mistral:7B still took me like 4Gigs just to run.
Or check your encoding. Happened to me. 😅
