Don't worry. Thats fine. Unless your rendering or doing something with photoshop or developement, or of course games, I've learned faster doens't really give you much. Noticed the most speed increase from my Raptor RAID array, but from my wifes 1.3 to my 3, I really don't notice a difference. Maybe a bit more perky, but thats all. Like I said, I give up trying to stay current. WAAAY to expensive.

Here is a quick panorama I did to test out PTgui (stitching is a bit messed up and it's low quality because I used a Hi8 Camcorder!). It's one side of my office where the best bits are:

nice setup pablo, I wish I could have room and a desk like yours :D

Thx, I work from home so it's easy to justify although the wife remains skeptical. She thinks of it more as a perfectly good guest room that's going to waste...a garage or loft conversion is next - that'll be good though, reduce the cable management issues with lots of power outlets and network ports in the walls and maybe even a rack!

Yeah it is a little cramped - can usually get away with just using the workstation with Terminal Services/VNC to the servers and the laptops stack nicely! For multiplayer gaming though it's a case of clearing away unused keyboards!

Depending on what happens next - new doom3station (ahem Workstation!), garage conversion or other, I'll probably need to invest in a KVM switch to just be able to fit things in.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By duhk · Posted

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
