Been a few months since I last posted the home office. Got a new ThinkPad (W530) to replace the old T61p - mainly because of the number of VMs i'm now needing to run as it was running fine still even after almost 5 years!

Got once of the Nokia Bluetooth NFC wireless speakers a few months ago for free (it's beside the lamp) which is quite nice although the W530s speakers are pretty good so don't need to use it when i'm at home.

What drove you to put your computer over the radiator like that? Seems like you'd be more apt to having overheating issues, and burning your leg

Good point - I don't have this radiator turned on so it never gets hot. Radiators tend to be underneath windows so you don't have a choice in many buildings.

I've got a radiator on the wall where my desk is too, not many options in this room to set it out anywhere else though, doesn't seem to cause it any problems and the actual PC is on the floor away from the radiator so its just the screen really

Tada. Sort of uni dorm room. The second shot is what my lighting is usually like but phone cams don't like darkness. The big book is Head First Design Patterns (Java). Keyboard is a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000 and I love it!

Dell U2412M on a Vaio Z13M9E (which is a beast, 13" ultrabook-ish thin'n'light with a DVD drive, 2xSSD in RAID0 and a GPU that can handle Assassins Creed 3 at 1920x1080 at very playable rates! Indeed, power in a tiny package.). I could use a multimon setup but the difference in DPI is too big and my laptop is too far to be able to read without glasses. Laptop is 1600x900@13", Dell is 1920x1200@24".

And the Starbucks cups are unused. I just like the holiday cups for the atmosphere. I also don't drink coffee, but Starbucks hot chocolate is pretty amazing. I pretty much only drink water and smoothies.

(PS: My laptop screen is dirty because teachers constantly touch it to point out things. After over a year I sort of don't bother cleaning it daily anymore.)

it's good to have lots of coffee when you're **** faced in the morning. I hate mornings. the worst mornings are when i don't have my coffee. then all hell breaks loose. muggerfugger is always prepared if he maintains the coffee supply. excellent.

Well I think coffee is disgusting :p

I actually get around without any real amounts of caffeine at all. I don't drink coffee, tea, fizzy drinks, ... I survive on bread, vegetables, fruit and chicken :D

are you a mormon...? cuz they can't have coffee or any of that good stuff and I would never be able to function without coffee!!!!! :coffee: :cat:

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
