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.

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

      Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
